The photograph captures a fully enclosed, glass-walled floating data center moored in a typical Dutch canal. In the background, traditional brick Dutch residential buildings with characteristic orange terracotta roofs, lined trees, a historic drawbridge, and small canal boats are visible, placing the scene clearly in the Netherlands. White explanatory text over a black banner at the bottom of the image describes that these floating data centers use the surrounding canal water to cool their servers, as an energy-efficient alternative to standard high-power air conditioning systems, reducing the carbon footprint of data storage infrastructure.

This meme uses a screenshot from the animated series *The Simpsons* to satirize the Dutch housing affordability crisis. The top text notes that Dutch media expresses confusion over why over half of young Dutch adults choose not to have children, followed by text introducing the current Dutch housing market as the explanation. The accompanying scene shows Otto Mann, labeled as representing young Dutch adults, looking into the Simpsons' average family home and marveling at having windows, saying he cannot afford the property. Homer and Marge Simpson stand inside looking back at him. The joke highlights that housing costs in the Netherlands are so prohibitively high that even a basic standard family home is unattainable for young people, framing this as an obvious core reason for the declining birth rate that mainstream media acts confused by.

This meme uses the popular 'Average Fan vs. Gigachad' two-panel format. The top section lists the translation of the word 'cannibal' across multiple languages, each paired with their respective country flag: French (cannibale), Spanish (caníbal), German (Kannibale), English (cannibal), and Dutch (kannibaal) on the left. On the right, next to the Turkish flag, the Turkish translation is shown: 'yamyam'. The bottom half has a blurry average-looking man on the left (representing the boring standard translations from other languages) and the muscular, confident Gigachad on the right, representing the superior Turkish translation. The joke comes from the fact that the Turkish word 'yamyam' (meaning cannibal) sounds exactly like an onomatopoeia for eating happily (similar to 'nom nom' or 'yummy yum yum'), making it a much more funny and memorable term than the serious, similar-sounding terms used in other languages.
