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.

I also planned on such, but the desk would require a metal frame, and that means either expensive aluminium profile with even more expensive bolting hardware, or welding. Learning to weld properly would take a while, and my father doesn't wnat me to use bolts or make it anywhere "modular" to make it "very strong".
What kind of a desk are you thinking about?
A big desk for computer and other stuff. Don't want those standing desks either, the mechanism would cost a fortune, and also limit my desk size.
Edit: I might look into hardwoods, that might be my only way, I just need to get some power sanders.
You can build a big desk that is more than strong enough for you to stand on using nothing but basic pine from the likes of home depot and some screws or glue.
I actually just built one that's 5 feet long and am assembling another that's 7 feet. They will fit together to make a big L-shaped desk for a couple PCs and some other stuff. I use 3/4" plywood for the top surface.
I'm making a 3-foot long one too that's going to be a stand for a 55 gallon aquarium. That's about 450lbs / 200kg if completely filled.
