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.

Having 30 days of paid holiday per year is nice too.
And a 35h work week.
that's in effect in Germany? They tried instating it here in Spain but Corruption industrial complex didn't let it through
Not for all. But some of the big unions have them, so a lot of people get them, but not the majority of workers.
They try so hard to make forget WWII
The (by law) 35h work week is French, I don't know if Germany has the same.
Nope, only in the good unions (IG Metall for me). Please support your union! Just pay the fuck up, it's the only thing stopping these disgusting rich pigs from completely exploiting you.
French's trying too hard to forget what they did to Mexico
"only" 20 of those by law, though. Most employers will give you more than that, but it's not guaranteed
Depends on the amount of hours.
In Belgium, if you work 40 hours instead of the regular 38 hours, you get 12 extra paid vacation days (ADV) on top of the 20 regular ones.
Not in Germany. The amount of vacation is based on the amount of days you work, not the hours. The goal is that everyone should be able to take at least a total of 4 weeks off per year. That means you get 20 days of vacation if you work a regular 5 day week. If you work a 6 day week, you get 24, but that is pretty unusual.
So, if you work fewer hours, that only matters for your vacation if those hours are also done across fewer days. If you only work 10 hours a week, but spread them across all five days, you still need 5 days to take an entire week off, so you still get the 20 days.
But anyway most employers will give you closer to 30 anyway, so the legal minimum usually only matters when it comes to things like transferring to the next year or paying out untaken vacation, because the rules differ there between mandatory and additional vacation days
30 days of paid holiday per year is unfathomable to me. I wish we had that here.
Working in the US with no holiday and dodgy health insurance is unfathomable to me.
And paid sick leave.
