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.

I mean, that might be true, but I work on a lot of shit that's right around 20 years old. It's mostly metric. But I keep a set of standard sockets around that I've had to pull out once or twice. Sometimes it's been because of swollen bolts but sometimes I'm pretty damn sure that's a 5/16.
I can guarantee it's either someone that put the wrong bolt there or it's due to rust.
All American cars have been fully metric since the 90s (with a push during the Carter years as well), Japanese cars since the 60s... Maybe you've had to work on a x.5mm bolt but that's extremely rare.
