A meme featuring a top text overlay that reads 'How dad looks at me when I don't know his Gmail password' above a photograph of an older man with gray hair and a beard.

This meme uses an edited still from the US TV series *The Office*. The left side features a smiling middle-aged man in a suit, labeled "My dad congratulating me for waking up early", shaking hands with the person on the right. The right side shows an edited, disheveled version of Michael Scott with long hair and a fanny pack, wide-eyed and visibly exhausted, labeled "Me at 6am pouring a glass of water before bed". The joke hinges on the father's misinterpretation: he thinks the user has woken up early at 6am, while the user has actually stayed up all night scrolling through content (referenced in the original post title) and is only just preparing to go to bed, having lost track of time.
