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.

I don't understand. Please explain.
In basic terms. Humans have a hibernation instinct, from somewhere in our past. When the days start to get short, and we get less sunlight, our brain tries to kick this in. It makes us want to be lethargic and sleep a lot. Unfortunately, modern life isn't conducive to this. When you push past it, the effects are very similar to depression.
Different people are affected to different degrees. Some are downright miserable, others unaffected. It's also possible to treat it. Sun lamps can trick the brain into thinking it's not winter, as vitamin D. The effectiveness of this can vary, however, and it doesn't compete with the real sun jumpstarting your brain back to full functionality.
Unaffected gang checking in. I'm also lactose tolerant and I have the extra tendon in my thumb. If anyone suffers from SAD, I recommend drinking a gallon of milk a day.
What extra tendon?
The palmaris longus, also known as genetic superiority over those with slightly less pinch strength.
Okay. That's kind of cool at least. Don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that.
