The man who invented autocorrect has died
Restaurant in peace
Overview
The meme consists of three parts: top text reading 'The man who invented autocorrect has died', a middle image of a foggy cemetery with weathered tombstones and bare trees, and bottom text reading 'Restaurant in peace'. The humor stems from a pun on the common phrase 'Rest in peace' (RIP), where autocorrect—known for occasional errors—mistakenly changes it to 'Restaurant in peace', creating irony by having autocorrect fail even in a eulogy context for its supposed inventor.
Origin notes
The meme originates from 9Gag, a platform for user-generated content. It appears to be created by overlaying text onto a stock image of a misty cemetery, likely using basic image editing software. The original title 'What the duck' may reference a separate pun but is not directly related to the autocorrect joke in the image.
