Good question (Reddit newbie karma meme)

This is a reaction meme consisting of two text sections paired with a screenshot of the animated character Shrek. The top text reads 'When a newbie on Reddit asks about karma', referencing new users of the Reddit platform asking for an explanation of the site's 'karma' point system given to popular posts and comments. The image below shows Shrek with a smug, amused, slightly condescending expression, gesturing with one hand, with yellow text at the bottom of the image that says 'Good question.'. The joke relies on the common experience that Reddit's karma system is often seen as arbitrary, confusing, and difficult to meaningfully explain even to long-time users of the platform, so the response 'good question' implies no one actually has a satisfactory answer to the newbie's query.

This meme was sourced from the RSS feed of the Reddit: Meme subreddit, as provided in the additional information. It is a derivative work that repurposes a well-known reaction screenshot from the DreamWorks Shrek animated film franchise, which is a popular source of content for internet memes. The format combines a Reddit platform-specific relatable scenario with the pre-existing 'Shrek good question' reaction image format.
