This is a two-panel side-by-side comparison meme. The left panel displays the whimsical, cartoon apple-shaped car from the 1990s children's franchise *The Busy World of Richard Scarry*, driven by the character Lowly Worm, with a bright red apple body, leaf stem on top, and small cartoon wheels. The right panel shows the sleek, minimalist, all-black 2022 concept render of the long-rumored Apple electric car, which has an extremely smooth, almost featureless rounded design. The text above the panels reads "apple car (1994) vs apple car (2022). this is not progress." The joke satirizes the lack of personality and overly simplistic minimalism common in modern Apple product design, framing the playful, creative 1994 cartoon apple car as superior to the boring, generic modern concept, implying product design has regressed rather than improved over time.

This is a three-panel satirical meme using the popular 'man inserting a stick into his own bicycle wheel' template. Panel 1 shows a man riding a bicycle smoothly along a path, with text reading 'Completely perfect product and good community'. Panel 2 shows the man intentionally shoving a stick into the spokes of his front bicycle wheel, with text reading 'Let's add ai'. Panel 3 shows the man lying injured on the ground next to his crashed, overturned bicycle, with text reading 'People left the product because it becomes shitty'. The meme jokes about the common modern tech industry trend of unnecessarily integrating AI features into already well-functioning, popular products, which degrades the user experience and causes existing users to abandon the product.

This image shows a close-up of a public toilet seat, with a red circle prominently highlighting the open U-shaped gap at the front of the seat. The accompanying post asks if there is a scientific reason for this gap being designed into public toilet seats. The answer to the posed question is yes: this intentional gap serves multiple practical purposes, including reducing surface area contact for users to lower the risk of germ transmission, making the seat easier to clean for janitorial staff, preventing urine from being caught on the front edge of the seat for male users, and adding structural durability to the seat design.

Just wondering: Is there a scientific purpose to leave this part out?

This meme is a 3-panel collage mocking a bad product design choice. The top left panel shows an i-tec brand docking station, with a visible small power button below the brand logo, paired with text that reads "PRESS POWER UNTIL LIGHT SWITCHES OFF". The top right panel shows a user pressing the i-tec brand logo by mistake, as the logo visually resembles a power button far more than the actual small, unobtrusive power button placed below it. The bottom panel features the classic illustrated frustrated Jackie Chan meme, holding both hands to his head in exasperation at the confusing, poorly thought-out device design.
