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 you can "feel" the bass frequencies of the boom, probably fireworks. If it sounds like more of a loud snap, gunshots. This assumes the shot/blast is fairly far away. That's my best guess.
You can definitely feel the blast from a .308, or 30-06, but it's unlikely that anyone is firing those in your neighborhood.
Even still, from a distance it's more of a crack than a boom.
I used to have a motorcycle that would give a couple of pops out of the exhaust if I closed the throttle too fast. I wonder how many Nextdoor conversations it started?
Bro I play cod I know what guns sounds like gtfo
This also happens daily on the Ring camera app lol
Sounds like if the doggies at home figured out how to type. "Oh no what's that?! Maybe A MURDERER!?" :-P

As someone who lives in country Australia, it's quite common here too. A popular pastime among the young guys out here is to jump into their ute, load up their guns, and go down the highway shooting every street sign they see. I usually hear it every Friday and Saturday night.
Didn't know my cousins were Australians
Also "I saw a car I didn't recognize slow down in front of my house, so I called the cops. It was obviously a drug dealer."
I'm British so I'd be pretty sure they were fireworks where I live.
But I'd still be a bit on edge. There's a good chance it's either being set off by a bunch of dumb kids throwing them at each other in the street who'd stab me if I confronted them or by some complete moron who has no idea what they're doing and it could go fucking anywhere.
“This guy came to my door and rang my doorbell. I don’t recognize him, but he’s black. I’ve informed the police.”
