This meme uses the famous photograph of Lionel Messi crying in celebration after Argentina won the 2022 FIFA World Cup final. Text overlaid at the bottom of the image reads 'When you have to sign up to a website you'll never use again', humorously equating the frustrated, regretful feeling of giving your personal data to a website you will only access once to Messi's intense emotional reaction. The joke taps into the widely relatable annoyance of mandatory online account creation for single-use services, and the accompanying concern that your personal information will be stored indefinitely by a platform you have no further use for.

This single-panel meme has two sections: the top section features black text on a white background, and the bottom section is a close-up photograph of a black cat. The text jokes about the irony of Google collecting massive amounts of personal user data including location, passwords, and personal interests, yet still regularly asking users to complete CAPTCHA checks to verify they are not robots for 20 years. The black cat below has a highly skeptical, unamused, annoyed expression with half-lidded eyes staring directly at the viewer, which perfectly emphasizes the sarcastic, frustrated tone of the relatable tech commentary.

This is a sarcastic meme featuring a photograph of actor Ryan Gosling leaning on an outdoor balcony railing, with overlaid text that uses the double meaning of the word 'data' for humor. The text reads 'I don't care if the Chinese steal my data / I have an Unlimited Plan', joking about common Western rhetoric that Chinese tech companies steal personal digital data, while twisting 'data' to also mean mobile cellular internet data. The punchline implies that since the creator has an unlimited mobile data plan, they have no shortage of data to lose, so they do not care about the supposed theft. The meme's original title is 'Chinese got no shi on me', a vulgar pun meaning Chinese people have nothing on the creator.
