This is a tech meme that relies on a pun: the word 'windows' refers to both architectural house windows (as an escape route from a burning house) and Microsoft Windows, the popular desktop operating system. It jokes about the common stereotype that Linux users strongly prefer Linux over Microsoft Windows, to the point of refusing to use Windows even in a hypothetical life-or-death situation. The top text sets up the scenario, and the image shows Gargamel from The Smurfs (in a surreal distorted meme art style) yelling with his mouth wide open, with the punchline text 'I'D RATHER DIE!' that perfectly illustrates the stereotypical extreme aversion Linux users have to Windows. Multiple blue Smurfs stand behind Gargamel looking shocked at his reaction.

This is a screenshot of a TikTok live stream featuring a real woman speaking into a microphone, with two text overlay bubbles that make a joke about artificial intelligence. The first text bubble reads "I am replacing AI. ask me anything." The second joke bubble adds "i can also misinform you. and i use less water". The joke parodies common criticisms of modern AI: that AI regularly spreads misinformation, and that running large AI models consumes large amounts of water for data center cooling. The punchline is that a human can do the bad thing (misinform) just like AI, but uses far less water, making for a satirical take on AI hype.

This meme features a real domestic cat with its head poking out from the rear opening of an open desktop computer case. At the top of the image, the text reads *hacker voice* "I'm in". The humor comes from a double meaning: the phrase "I'm in" is a common line used by hackers to denote successful access to a computer system, while the cat is literally physically inside the computer. The cat has a surprised, slightly confused expression, which adds to the silly, wholesome nature of the joke. It parodies hacker culture in a lighthearted way, using an unexpected animal moment to create a relatable and funny visual gag.

A meme featuring an animated character with an extremely intense, angry expression—furrowed brows, wide red eyes with visible veins, and an open mouth as if shouting. The background consists of dramatic orange clouds, enhancing the intense atmosphere. Overlaid in bold white capital letters is the text: 'IT'S NOT THE YEAR OF LINUX! IT HAS NEVER BEEN THE YEAR OF LINUX! IT WILL NEVER BE THE YEAR OF LINUX!'. A small 'made with mematic' watermark is present at the bottom left corner, indicating the meme creation tool used.
