This image is a screenshot of a tweet from VideoLAN's official account, showing the iconic orange cone logo of VLC Media Player displayed on a laptop screen inside the NASA Artemis mission spacecraft in space. Two astronauts can be seen working inside the cramped space capsule, with the flags of the United States and Canada visible on the wall behind them, and a NASA watermark in the corner of the photograph. The joke here is that the famous VLC cone logo is literally located 'in space', matching the meme title.

This is a 4-panel comic meme joking about the discontinuation of Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft's little-used desktop publishing app. In the first panel, the Grim Reaper comes to collect the dying Microsoft Publisher, saying 'It's time to go'. In the second panel, the innocent Publisher (represented by its logo, with a halo) asks 'Was I a good app?'. In the third panel, the Grim Reaper replies bluntly, 'I don't even know who the fuck you were'. In the fourth panel, the Grim Reaper leads Publisher into the afterlife river. The joke relies on the widely known fact that almost no one ever used or even remembered Microsoft Publisher existed, even though it was included in some Microsoft Office bundles for decades.

End of an era... An era nobody was aware existed

This is a screenshot of a verified tweet from X (formerly Twitter) that makes a sarcastic joke about the common frustration with Microsoft Teams among hybrid/remote workers. The tweet states that a 110-year-old Turkish grandma's secret to a long life is that she never once used Microsoft Teams. Below the text are two side-by-side panels: the left is a photo of the elderly grandma, and the right is the official Microsoft Teams logo. The joke implies that using Microsoft Teams is so stressful that avoiding it helps you live longer.

This image is a two-part screenshot of Twitter/X tweets forming a satirical joke about the need to update modern education in the age of artificial intelligence. The first tweet from verified user Julia McCoy argues that the current education system is outdated: it forces students to memorize facts that AI can retrieve in 0.3 seconds, and grades students on essays that AI can write better than most teachers. The second tweet from Will Bredderman extends this exact logic to an absurd conclusion for comedic effect, joking that the worst flaw is gym classes requiring students to run miles that an Uber can cover in under a minute. The humor comes from intentionally extending the 'if technology can do the task, why make humans do it' reasoning to physical activity, where the purpose of running is fitness/health, not transportation, making the extension absurd.

This is a two-panel comparison meme joking about Nvidia's AI-powered DLSS graphics upscaling technology. The left panel shows the original cartoon version of Patrick Star from *SpongeBob SquarePants*, cropped to only show his pointed head, and is labeled 'DLSS 5 Off'. The right panel shows an uncanny, hyper-realistic AI-generated human-like version of the same pointed Patrick head, labeled 'DLSS 5 On'. The joke pokes fun at how AI upscaling can turn simple cartoon art into strangely realistic uncanny valley content, exaggerating what DLSS does to input images.

This is a 3-panel meme using the classic 'What is my purpose' template from *Rick and Morty*, edited to joke about Facebook Messenger. In the first panel, the Facebook Messenger app icon replaces the robot from the original template, asking the question 'WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?'. In the second panel, Rick and Summer from *Rick and Morty* answer that the purpose of Messenger is 'TO SEND BIRTHDAY WISHES TO OLD PEOPLE'. In the third panel, the Messenger icon robot reacts with existential shock saying 'OH MY GOD'. The joke plays on the common observation that younger generations rarely use Facebook Messenger anymore, and its only common remaining use is older users sending birthday wishes on the platform.

Can't think of another use for Facebook Messenger

This is an example of the viral DLSS 5 On side-by-side comparison meme, showing the original 2D cartoon Patrick Star from *SpongeBob SquarePants* on the left panel labeled "RTX OFF", and an uncanny hyper-realistic AI-altered version of Patrick on the right panel labeled "RTX ON" following the DLSS 5 On meme convention. Above the comparison is an original tweet comment that reads "lmaooo this is so ass", satirizing how generative AI graphics enhancement like Nvidia's DLSS 5 often over-alters original content into unsettling, uncanny hyper-polished "AI slop" that destroys the original simple cartoon aesthetic.

This is a 4-panel comic meme that jokes about NVIDIA's pricing strategy for high-end graphics cards. The first three panels show a man in a red shirt surrounded by piles of cash, who first brags he has far too much extra money, then panics about what to do with all the excess cash, and finally begs someone to take some of the money that is falling out of his pockets. The fourth panel reveals a businessman next to the NVIDIA logo, who explains that the cash-rich panicking man is how NVIDIA imagines their target audience. The joke pokes fun at the extremely high pricing of NVIDIA's consumer GPUs, which are only affordable for wealthy customers with lots of extra disposable income.

This is a 2-panel split comparison meme contrasting the different reactions of MacBook owners and PC owners when their computers experience damage. In the top half, text describes MacBook owners panicking over a tiny, barely visible dent on the corner of a MacBook (circled in red), frantically worrying that they ruined their expensive device. In the bottom half, text shows PC owners being far less concerned, asking whether an extremely dusty, heavily neglected, almost falling-apart PC interior will hurt performance. The joke pokes fun at the differing mindsets: MacBook users are protective of their expensive, hard-to-repair closed-system devices, while PC users (especially custom builders) are used to modifying, repairing, and running their machines hard even when they are visibly damaged.

A 4-panel comic meme in a 2x2 grid contrasting 2016 and 2026 chat app preferences. In 2016 (top panels), a simple animated character praises Discord and dismisses TeamSpeak by placing it in a box labeled '/u/liquidios'. In 2026 (bottom panels), the character encounters a frustrating verification screen for a video call (requiring ID checks against government databases) and excitedly retrieves the cobwebbed TeamSpeak from storage, exclaiming 'Hello old friend!!!'. The meme humorously satirizes frustration with modern app complexity driving a return to older, simpler software.

A vertically aligned meme comparing three major operating systems (macOS, Windows, Linux) with humorous insults. The top section features the macOS logo (a blue and white smiling face icon) paired with the text 'You hate money'—a joke implying macOS devices are expensive. The middle section shows the Windows logo (a blue grid of four squares) with 'You hate your machine,' referencing stereotypes of Windows having technical issues. The bottom section displays the Linux mascot Tux (a black and white penguin with yellow feet) alongside 'you hate yourself,' playing on the perception that Linux is difficult for beginners to use.

A two-panel meme using a reaction image of a man (likely Jeremy Clarkson) to humorously criticize Discord. The top panel states 'Discord hacked, data of 70,000 users including ID photos exposed 10 oct 2025' with the man reacting 'OH NO!'. The bottom panel follows with 'Discord will start globally demanding face scans and ID checks for full access in March 2026' and the man dismissively saying 'ANYWAY', highlighting the irony of Discord imposing stricter data collection after a breach.
