Website Offers Cookie On First Visit

This is a single-panel relatable internet meme. Text at the top reads first: 'me: *goes to a website for the first time*', followed by 'the website:'. Below the text is a photo of a bearded Black man with a frustrated, pushy expression holding a large lumpy baked cookie out to the viewer. The meme relies on a pun of the double meaning of 'cookie': literal baked cookies, and the internet tracking/data storage files that nearly all websites immediately ask users to consent to storing the very first time they visit the site, which is a widely relatable frustration for internet users.

This is a two-panel comparison meme that ironically depicts the common behavior of internet users streaming content online.

The right panel, labeled 'Internet when there is an ad:', shows the same man sitting completely still, wearing sunglasses with a calm, patient posture.

This is a two-panel reaction meme centered on relatable tech humor about smart home devices. The top text sets up the premise: a user first manually disables the microphone on their Google Home smart speaker, then immediately tries to issue a voice command by saying 'Hey Google', only for the Google Home to respond that the microphone is currently disabled. The bottom left panel uses a widely shared reaction image of a Black man giving a confused, disbelieving side-eye, labeled 'Me', to represent the user's embarrassment at their own mistake, as well as their unsettling realization that the device was still able to hear them even when they thought the microphone was off. The bottom right panel uses a viral reaction image of a pig giving a smug, knowing side-eye, labeled 'Google', to represent the smart speaker calling out the user's mistake, framing the joke as a commentary on the false sense of control users have over their smart devices' listening functionality.
