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.

Why the hell is speeding so normalized?
Because on a lot of highways the speed limit is a joke. The 4 lane one I take to work is completely straight for like 30 miles and they have it set at 60mph. Many vehicles can (and do) easily go 80-90 on that without an issue. Proper lane usage and adhering to a safe following distance are far more important in terms of safety. There shouldn't even be a speed limit in my opinion considering the wide variety of vehicles on the road. It's pretty simple, drive as slow as you want just do it in the correct lane unless you're passing. Signal. Pass in the passing lane. Don't tailgate.
If they need to write tickets for revenue they can get people for cruising in the wrong lane all day long.
I'm pretty sure those who have set it at 60mph have calculations you didn't consider.
Maybe there are places on the road where someone may suddenly appear, be it human or a wild animal? Maybe the road can get slippery? Maybe the cars going above 60mph create too much noise in the neighborhood? There are many more reasons one could set a road at that, and many may not even come to your mind.
And no, this is almost certainly not about tickets. If it is - screw them and follow the rule!
