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.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Breakers are just reusable fuses.
Functionally, I guess so. Materially, absolutely not.
A piece of metal heats up in both.
One melts, the other activates an electromagnet disconnecting the line, like the melted metal.
Material wise, they both have the same parts, one just has more.
Some fuses even have gunpowder in them to make sure it disconnects since it doesn’t always fully melt, kinda like using an electromagnet.
There’s also even Actual resetable fuses too
I like the gunpowder fuses because there is no question whether they are good or not. Exploded = bad, not exploded = good
Also that reusable fuse would have been so useful in my 1989 Nissan
