This relatable meme depicts the common experience of being the go-to tech support (nicknamed household CTO) for older family members. The top text sets up the scenario: an elderly family member says their phone won't turn on, the poster simply presses the power button to fix it, and the elderly family member reacts with reverence. The reaction is represented by a still of the character Stilgar from the Dune film franchise, with the text 'Lisan al-Gaib' overlaid at the bottom. Lisan al-Gaib is the term for the prophesied messiah figure that the Fremen people of Arrakis worship, so the joke is that the older relative sees the person who fixed their trivial phone issue as an all-knowing, miraculous figure.
