A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Why the hell is speeding so normalized?
Because on a lot of highways the speed limit is a joke. The 4 lane one I take to work is completely straight for like 30 miles and they have it set at 60mph. Many vehicles can (and do) easily go 80-90 on that without an issue. Proper lane usage and adhering to a safe following distance are far more important in terms of safety. There shouldn't even be a speed limit in my opinion considering the wide variety of vehicles on the road. It's pretty simple, drive as slow as you want just do it in the correct lane unless you're passing. Signal. Pass in the passing lane. Don't tailgate.
If they need to write tickets for revenue they can get people for cruising in the wrong lane all day long.
I wish vehicles made it harder to go above 65 MPH.(Like a mandated regulation to have the foot pedal feel harder to push past 65). Like I want to save money in this economy. Going above 65 is mostly a complete waste of money and will more likely than not save less than a minute or none at all because we all will hit the same red lights on the city streets. I hate how normalized we all become to it. I now mostly drive city streets with either electric vehicle or electric bike. Rent is criminally expensive, people really expecting me to waste money driving 75 on the highway? Fuck that
in a multi lane highway, nobody expects you to be blazing when you're on the outside lane. people only get pissed when you're driving limit on the inside lane. if u wanna drive comfortably, just use the right lanes so people can pass you if they want. if it's a single lane highway, don't give a shit about others as long as you're not way under the limit. there are almost always overtake sections of those highways where you see the "slower traffic use right lane".
plus, there are roads with limits higher than 65 all over the place and there are recreational things you might want to do with your car.
I already am, don't worry, plenty of people like to ride my ass, even when we can't go any faster.
