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.

Another reply linked to an article (by a personal injury lawfirm, naturally) and the temperature cited was 185F. I drink coffee that's hotter than that every morning. Note that I take my coffee with lots of cream and sugar. It's above 185F after adding cream and sugar. I drink it when it's that temperature.
When people say "coffee is supposed to be hot" you may be assuming that it's out of ignorance of something you saw on the internet. But it's not exactly difficult to dip the meat thermometer by my stove into a cup of coffee. It's possible you may be the one being ignorant of the facts because you're trusting articles from biased sources without any verification... which is very easy for anyone to do. Yup, coffee is hot.
I interact with boiling water everyday. It's dangerous and I know to be careful. Coffee, while not as hot as boiling water, is still dangerous enough to burn me (>185F) if I dump a full cup of it on my crotch. So I try not to do that. It's actually not that hard, I do it every morning when half asleep.
Have fun defending personal injury lawyers so you never think about having a healthcare system would mean people wouldn't have to sue to get their medical bills paid. Could you imagine a world where people wouldn't need lawyers to sue to get medical bills paid?
Going along with narratives pushed by people fighting for only their own self interest simply because it ticks the right boxes (contrarian, corporation bad, media bad) isn't going to make the world a better place. Especially if you're going on about things that makes it clear you're out of touch with reality.
I drink coffee hotter than that every day. Why do you think McDonald's was serving hot coffee instead of luke-warm coffee? Did you consider why the working class people they serve coffee to during the day might want it that way? Are you so out of touch you can't understand why the working class would want coffee hotter than the pumpkin spice mocha frapa whatever that a cute barrista writes your name on your cup of at the fancy coffee shop you go to?
