Overview

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.

Origin notes

This meme originates from Reddit, as indicated by the additional source information. It humorously references the long-standing tech community trope known as 'The Year of Linux'—a recurring prediction that each year will be the one where Linux achieves mainstream desktop dominance, despite this never coming to fruition. The animated character, likely from an anime (possibly a shonen series with intense emotional expressions), is repurposed here to convey exaggerated frustration, embodying a Linux user playfully mocking the persistent optimism around Linux's mainstream adoption. The meme uses the character's intense demeanor to amplify the sarcastic rant for comedic effect.

A two-panel meme featuring Syndrome, a character from the animated film 'The Incredibles,' set against a sunset ocean background. The top panel shows Syndrome with curly red hair, wearing a red and gold suit, displaying an anxious expression while clasping his hands. Overlaid text reads: 'There is no [blacked out] there is no [blacked out].' The bottom panel shows the same character with a more intense, defiant expression, leaning forward, with overlaid text: 'and there is no Epstein list.' The meme uses sarcasm to reference the controversial 'Epstein list' conspiracy theory by depicting Syndrome denying its existence, leveraging his villainous persona from the original film.

This meme uses the popular "days without an incident" counter template from *The Simpsons*, where a character is shown resetting the counter twice to 0. The meme's text says it has been 0 days since people realized that Cyberpunk 2077's dystopian fictional setting was actually an optimistic vision of the future compared to current real-world events after 2020. The joke plays on how rising corporate power, unregulated tech overreach, and declining social conditions in real life have made the dystopia of Cyberpunk 2077 look tame and even optimistic by comparison, and this realization is so common that the counter is immediately reset to 0 every time.

An edited screenshot from the animated TV show 'The Simpsons' featuring a character with a shocked expression, holding two white squares each displaying the number '0'. Behind the character is a partial sign reading 'DAYS WITHOUT'. Prominently overlaid in bold yellow and white text is 'IDIOCACY BECOMING REALITY'. The meme humorously repurposes the '0 days without [incident]' format—typically used in workplaces to track safety streaks—to satirize the frequent perception that the 2006 film 'Idiocracy' (which depicts a dystopian future of societal decline) is increasingly reflecting现实.

This is an edited remix meme based on a scene from Disney/Pixar's *Toy Story*. The image features Andy Davis holding a modified version of the character Woody, where Woody's head is replaced with a screenshot of a black, unresponsive desktop window (suggesting crashed software or a broken screen). The bold caption at the bottom reads **OH, I FORGOT. YOU'RE BROKEN.** The meme uses a pun: repurposing the original scene's context (referring to a toy's condition) to mock or react to broken, unresponsive, or glitchy technology, framing the failed tech as a 'broken' object like a damaged toy. It's a relatable reaction meme for anyone dealing with tech failures.

This is a single-panel reaction meme featuring the animated villain Skeletor from the 1980s *He-Man and the Masters of the Universe* series. The top overlaid text reads 'WHEN PEOPLE INSULT YOU BY SAYING YOU'LL NEVER HAVE SEX.' Skeletor is depicted grinning widely and pointing mockingly forward. The bottom overlaid text reads 'YOU FOOL! I'M ASEXUAL!' The core joke is that the insult intended to upset the target is completely ineffective, as the target is asexual and does not desire sexual activity, so the supposed insult is entirely irrelevant to them.

The first panel has overlaid text stating 'I DON'T CARE THAT ARGENTINA LOST', while the second panel has text reading 'I JUST WANT MEMES TO GO BACK TO NORMAL'. It expresses the relatable frustration of internet users with no interest in sports who are tired of their meme feeds being flooded with sports-related content after a high-profile Argentina national football team loss, likely from a FIFA World Cup match.

A two-panel meme contrasting the perception of 24FPS (frames per second) in movies versus video games. The left panel features an animated character with a happy, content expression, accompanied by the text 'WATCHING A MOVIE AT 1080P 24FPS'. The right panel shows a real person with a menacing, eerie expression, captioned 'PLAYING A GAME AT 1080P 24FPS'. The meme humorously highlights the duality where 24FPS is generally acceptable and standard for movies but often considered too low and unsatisfactory for gaming, playing on the differing expectations of frame rates in these two mediums.

I could be prosecuted in the future.' Below the window, a van labeled 'NEW WORLD ORDER SERVICES' is driven by a green animated character, suggesting themes of surveillance or censorship of online content.
