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.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

One angry day I removed the screaming from my electric kettle, my coffee grinder, and my espresso machine; all of which beeped one to three times every time a button was pressed, power was turned on, or they finished a task. It was a hellish robot symphony every morning before that.
Anyone can do it. Once you've learned to spot a piezoelectric buzzer, ripping them out of everything you own is just a matter of how willing you are to take the case off of your electronic devices and find the circuit board. You just grip the buzzer with pliers and pull at it gently. Most of the time the top of the buzzer will have a plastic cap that detaches and there will be a thin metal film you can just remove. But some buzzer units are fully sealed - just rip the whole damned thing off the board, it won't hurt anything else.
edit: Here's a video of someone else doing it. Seriously, have a blast. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6fdbq3
Will try it on the smoke alarms in my apartment, I hate it when those things beep.
