The Cursor

A multi-panel meme humorously depicting the frustration of locating a computer cursor. The first two panels show a wizard-like character (likely Gandalf from *The Lord of the Rings*) labeled 'Monitor 1' and 'Monitor 2,' appearing confused as if searching for something. The text 'Where is the cursor?' follows, setting up the premise. The final panel, labeled 'THE CURSOR:', features a scene from *Jurassic Park* with characters in a car, accompanied by the dialogue: 'Stay absolutely still. His vision is based on movement.' This references the T-Rex's reliance on movement to detect prey, implying the cursor is similarly elusive—hard to spot when not moving, mirroring the common user experience of losing track of the cursor on screen.

Origin notes

This meme is a remix created by collaging screenshots from two popular film franchises: The Lord of the Rings (featuring a wizard character, likely Gandalf, in the first two panels) and Jurassic Park (featuring the iconic 'stay still' scene from the 1993 film). It was originally shared on Reddit, as indicated by the provided source information, and likely edited using basic image editing software to combine the screenshots and add text labels.
