This meme plays on the popular internet idiom 'touch grass', which is used to tell people who spend excessive time online to go outside and engage with the real world. The image displays a mechanical keyboard where every keycap is covered in green artificial grass, placed on a dark wood-grain desk, with a small grassy wrist rest positioned above it. The top text reads 'MFS BE LIKE "TOUCH GRASS"', quoting the common remark directed at heavy internet users, while the bottom text says 'BET', a slang term meaning 'I accept the challenge', implying the creator is cheekily complying with the request literally by allowing themselves to touch grass while still using their computer, rather than going outside.

This meme features a side-by-side comparison of two popular wireless mice. The left option is an ergonomic Logitech wireless mouse with a contoured shape, thumb rest, extra function buttons, and its included USB receiver. The right option is Apple's flat, slim Magic Mouse shown next to its product packaging. The top text asks viewers to be honest and choose between the left or right mouse. Below the comparison is a screenshot of a public X (formerly Twitter) comment from user @skeleoncemore, a parody account, that hyperbolically claims people who pick the Magic Mouse are lacking some integral humanity. The underlying joke references the widely criticized poor ergonomics of the Apple Magic Mouse: its extremely flat design causes hand cramping, fatigue, and involuntary shaking after extended use, which is referenced in the title as your hand 'speaking in Morse code' from the cramping movements.

The meme displays an older generation iPhone placed next to its opened original packaging. Inside the box, three free bundled accessories are visible: wired Apple EarPods, a wall power charging adapter, and a Lightning charging cable. The overlaid text at the top reads "When apple used to take care of us", which is a sarcastic and nostalgic joke referencing Apple's widely discussed 2020 decision to stop including chargers and wired earphones in new iPhone packaging, forcing consumers to purchase these items separately if they do not already own them. The meme contrasts the older, more inclusive product offering against modern Apple policies to humorous effect.
