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.

Which one in your opinion is the best general purpose screw? Basically something that should be the default?
I use #8 x 2-3in Robertson construction screws for pretty much everything. been doing this for over a decade. hasn't failed me yet
there are times that a pan head is more suitable or you want a smaller screw, but I just buy the giant buckets of thousands of construction screws and then don't have to think about buying more. and it's 1/4 the cost as smaller packages
Robertson Master Race
Interesting. Is it open source? Licensed? Patented by anyone? Sorry, I know nothing about screws, but it feels like a good rabbit hole haha.
My philosophy of screwing is that it is always best to find the right screw for the job, BUT, more often than not, a torx/star 2-1/2in #8-10 ceramic coated screw is going to solve all your problems.
Unless you have a specific reason to use something else, Robertson (AKA square) heads should be the default
Torx, excluding TX27. Just use 25 or 30. For consumer devices or anything that gets turned by hand Pozidrive is okay, although it sucks if you're using a drill, and impacts fuck 'em up almost instantly
