This 6-panel meme uses a classic *The Simpsons* template to satirize NVIDIA's massive procurement of DDR5 RAM supplies, leaving regular consumers facing shortages. Here's a breakdown of each panel: 1. **Panel 1**: A character labeled "NVIDIA" (in a red cap) demands from "RAM PRODUCERS" (a woman): "GIMME ALL DDR5 DRAM YOU'LL EVER PRODUCE UNTIL 2028", with Homer Simpson (representing consumers) waiting in the background. 2. **Panel 2**: The RAM producer quotes the massive price: "THAT'LL BE $9,500,000,000". 3. **Panel 3**: NVIDIA smirks and says: "I ONLY GOT $10 ON ME CAN I PAY THE REST LATER". 4. **Panel 4**: The RAM producer surprisingly agrees: "SURE". 5. **Panel 5**: Homer, labeled "CONSUMERS", arrives at the counter to find a "SOLD OUT" sign. 6. **Panel 6**: Homer sits dejectedly on the ground, labeled "CONSUMERS", embodying the frustration of regular customers unable to access DDR5 RAM due to NVIDIA's bulk purchase. The meme jokes about real-world tech industry issues where large corporations can secure huge component supplies (even with deferred payment), leaving consumers facing limited stock and higher prices. The humor comes from the absurdity of the $9.5B deal being accepted with just $10 upfront, paired with the relatable disappointment of being locked out of needed hardware.

This 3-panel comic meme satirizes modern trends in the global automobile industry. In the first panel, a frustrated auto executive opens a boardroom meeting asking how to sell more cars amid an industry collapse. In the second panel, three attendees offer solutions: the first suggests building sentient self-driving cars, the second suggests adding complicated all-controlling computer systems, and the third attendee casually suggests returning to basics: making simple, reliable, affordable cars with just core features like AC and heating, with cheap-to-produce simple designs. In the third panel, the executive becomes enraged by the common-sense suggestion, and the person who proposed simple cars is thrown out of a high-rise office window. The joke highlights widespread consumer frustration that modern automakers prioritize expensive unnecessary complex tech that drives up prices over making the affordable, reliable basic cars many buyers actually want, with the original title 'Car go, car stop' emphasizing that cars only need to fulfill their basic function of moving and stopping.
