Telling the local odd person about valuable metals in datacenters

This is a two-panel edited anime meme using characters from *Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World*. The top panel features a cheerful purple-haired character (Typhon) leaning close to Natsuki Subaru, who looks annoyed and unimpressed, with text labeling Subaru as 'The local crackhead'. The bottom panel shows Typhon still smiling happily while speaking, while Subaru now has a stressed, uncomfortable expression, sweating and grimacing, with overlaid text explaining Typhon is describing the quantities of copper, silver, gold, and palladium found in datacenters to Subaru. The joke relies on the common trope that people interested in scrapping valuable metals from discarded electronics will ramble enthusiastically about the high value of materials in places like datacenters, boring or worrying their listeners.
