The right panel is labeled 'Egypt', where the man on the left has been removed entirely, with the text '*disconnected' at the bottom of the panel.

This is a two-panel comparative sarcastic meme about modern internet access restrictions. The top panel has left text stating 'Your ancestors holding internet in their hands 2263 years ago' paired with an ancient Egyptian stone hieroglyph carving, where the object held by the carved figure is humorously misinterpreted as a Wi-Fi signal to imply ancient people had internet access. The bottom panel has left text reading 'You in 2026 with your limited 140GB' paired with a SpongeBob SquarePants scene: a group of huddled, shocked fish labeled 'the rest of the world' stare at a hysterical, running Squidward Tentacles labeled 'Egypt with limited internet quotas'. The meme contrasts the absurd fictional idea of ancient unlimited internet with the frustrating reality of modern restrictive data caps, specifically mocking Egypt's strict internet quota policies as out of line with global standards.

This is a satirical political meme that jokes about the length of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's presidency in Egypt.

The joke implies that el-Sisi will stay in power indefinitely, which aligns with the original post title "14 years and counting" referencing the long duration of his current tenure.

Below the text is a low-resolution, blurry screenshot of Squidward Tentacles from the animated series *SpongeBob SquarePants* with a wide-eyed, shocked, stunned expression. The joke rests on the common consumer grievance that Egyptian internet companies regularly "steal" from customers via practices like overcharging for poor service, unfair billing, data throttling, or failing to deliver promised service quality, implying the meme poster recognizes they could never win a "stealing competition" against these providers.

This is a 2-panel satirical Wojak meme mocking people who promote the conspiracy theory that aliens built the Egyptian pyramids instead of native ancient Egyptians. In the first panel, a smug light-skinned Wojak with glasses and a fade haircut claims to a neutral grey alien: 'You guys built the pyramids', and the alien replies 'We didn't'. In the second panel, the same Wojak is now angry, crying, and gritting his teeth as he says to a smiling ancient Egyptian Wojak wearing a pharaonic crown: 'You guys didn't build the pyramids', and the Egyptian responds 'We did'. The joke highlights the bad faith and biased logic of conspiracy theorists who reject both the fact that aliens did not build the pyramids and that ancient Egyptians were the actual builders.

A meme featuring a humorous comparison between ancient Egyptian worship of Bastet (the cat goddess) and modern cat owners. The top text reads 'Ancient Egyptians praying to the goddess Bastet'. Below the text is a photograph of a hairless Sphynx cat standing on a wooden cabinet, reaching up with one paw to touch a glass vase containing a tall white candle. From the bottom of the image, human hands are reaching upward toward the cat, seemingly in a gesture to either worship or prevent the cat from knocking over the candle. The joke lies in equating the cat's mischievous behavior with the reverence ancient Egyptians had for Bastet, a goddess often depicted as a cat.
