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.

If there is a fault in the PS2 device it literally breaks the rest of the computer.
A little more than 15 years ago I had to fix my PS2 keyboard because it crashed everything. Not even a BSOD, just colors.
looks nervously at my 3070ti and ibm model m haha so was there any permanent damage or like
No. It was when I was younger and I smacked the keyboard at some point. The whole computer crashed with random pixels all over the screen. I tried rebooting many times. I came to the conclusion the cable inside of the keyboard must have been slightly disconnected and pushed it further back into it, and my PC worked again.
Computers are really resilient to permanent damage to be honest. I once dropped a screw into a running computer and it short-circuited with sparks and all. I was still able to boot it, but it was extremely slow. After a few reboots it was back to normal.
Likely tripped some PTC "fuses". Often, with time to cool, they'll mostly return to normal.
Your story reminded me of when I set my pc on fire!
No idea how or what happened but the PSU shot sparks, lit up and tried setting the house on fire. Amazingly everything worked right after replacing the PSU, but the Mobo was the next thing to blow up.
So while they are indeed resilient af, you're likely not coming out unscathed if sparks fly.
PSUs aren't too hard to fix by yourself if you know your electronics.
Except maybe that one PSU I got for free that had safety stuff bypassed.
But yeah, a fire might be a pushing the limits.
That must be OS dependent
I think it's because PS2 has very low level support. It'd have to be pretty borked, and there's not too much to bork, so pretty rare.
could be motherboard-depend also
Yeah, I suppose I didn't think of that; PS/2 isn't really dependent on the kernel like USB is
I think they just interrupt the CPU with input
