This is a 4-panel comparison comic meme. First, the anthropomorphized yellow 2026 sun character brags that it is 'just great' with better technology, streaming services and more convenience. Next, the anthropomorphized blue 2016 moon character retorts that 2016 had the popular short-form video platform Vine, and TikTok did not exist at that time.

The joke plays on widespread internet nostalgia for the 2016 social media landscape, as many users preferred Vine over the now-ubiquitous TikTok.
