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.

Non-destructice hijinks were highly encouraged at my first job. It was a way to encourage people to remember to lock up their computers when they stepped away.
So mouse button settings were often reversed, hotkeys were mapped, desktop backgrounds were modified, and basically every other non-destructive computer prank was pulled.
I worked in a Nac office. Everyome had am idemtical lookimg bluetooth 'nagic' nouse.
Ramdonly swappimg a few aroumd was always a great 'ice-breaker' for the begimming of a stressful day!
I remember it was a common prank in my office, for coworkers that didn't lock their workstations, to set their homepage to hampster-dance.
At a LAN party we once messed with a friend's desktop background. He had a picture of himself and a girlfriend in what I assume was his dorm room as his background. We wanted to take the poster in the background and photoshop it to something funny. Someone had a bizarre picture of a bunch of dudes in Ninja Turtle masks. One of them was holding some chick in a skirt upside down and I think holding a fist against her panties. That photo was so bizarre it sticks in my mind.
I have no idea if he ever realized it. I felt bad afterward when I found out he was MIA at the LAN Party because of an unpleasant medical issue...
My favorite was screenshotting the screen then moving their icons and taskbar to a second monitor that was not plugged in.
You can also toggle icons off.
Open a lot of windows and screenshot it for the new background picture. Was always funny to watch people desperately trying to close all the windows.
My favorite was to take a screenshot of the desktop and set it as the background. Then put all of the icons into a folder. Most people I left the folder on the desktop. The IT guys, the folder was then hidden.
You are the reason I use ls and cd instead of a foss file manager.
