I’m pretty sure the actual origin of the image in the meme is an old sitcom called Get a Life. I can’t remember what episode it was in… I briefly looked online to try to prove it and get a link to the exact clip, but I couldn’t find it.

I unironically think this is pretty cool.

I’m sure there are a lot of impracticalities (especially with how old the computer is), stuff like this is always gonna be overpriced and people will think you’re a clown…

But the keyboard arm I genuinely like, and nowadays this whole thing could be way lighter and you could also add a thinkpad nipple. I do personally like goofy cheap-looking scifi aesthetics, though, and like to imagine that alternative designs and standards for things could be just as good or better if people got used to them.

It is known.

Stop sealioning.

God knows (so to speak)

I’m burning this book for using the Lord’s name in vain

His brain is so rotted by arguing about internet drama that now all people who claim to be disadvantaged in any way are just attention seekers to him.

Have you read the Kama Sutra? :3

I think the worst types of people are pedants who take everything literally, and then for some reason get mad about being told to put their shopping cart back

How do we know what his facial hair would have looked like, though?

Most of the people explaining this still make it more complicated than it needs to be, imo.

I just think the symbol “%” algebraically means 0.01

Socialism is when nobody does any work

What the heck is going on with the font in this image?

Ok… I’ll bite.

How is this supposed to be funny and/or what kind of commentary is being made here? I think I already know the answer and if I was a mod I’d probably ban you, but I’m taking the bait here so feel free to argue.

I just read through your history…

Cringe behaviour. Touch grass

I think it’s your bedtime bro

I highly doubt this is a real person who wrote this themself because it’s their actual opinion. I refuse to believe this isn’t an advertisement and/or someone trolling

I think I know all of these apart from the Arabic one (which is hard for me to look up since I don’t know Arabic)

(Top, “made up nonsense”)

• CGTN is China Global Television Network and is an international outlet ran by the Chinese government
• Telesur seems slightly more complicated than the rest, in that it’s owned in part by 3 different Latin American governments (Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba), though it’s headquartered in Venezuela. I actually often watch/listen to Telesur because it streams 24/7 on Youtube and I’ve been trying to teach myself Spanish (obviously it’s also available in English). It’s very anti-US.
• RT is Russia Today and is probably the most hated news channel in the west, since it’s ran by Russia. A lot of major online platforms have banned or censored it for “misinformation”

(Bottom, “so true”)

• NPR is (US) National Public Radio, funded partly by the US government but also by some limited advertising. NPR seems to have the best reputation among US liberals out of all these stations
• VoA (Voice of America) and RFA (Radio Free Asia) can kinda be lumped together. They were both made and ran by the US gov to broadcast pro-US/anti-communist propaganda internationally, and have never really deviated from that. I don’t know how many people unironically take them seriously, considering there are other outlets with similar perspectives that aren’t such blatant propaganda
• BBC (British Broadcasting Company) News is the UK government state news… a lot of genocide denial from them recently

I spent longer than I thought I would typing this, but I hope somebody cares and tells me what the Arabic one is (or just corrects/adds anything else I missed out or got wrong)… Hope it was interesting/helpful though.

Bruh… not everything that happens is a distraction from another thing that happened

I mean… I wasn’t trying to mock you as a person, only your politics.

I wasn’t being very direct and constructive, but I was trying to address some of what you were saying, albeit in a sarcastic way. I’m sure you don’t love Mark Zuckerberg and worship the free market like my caricature though. I tried to make my tone clear, but I appreciate that it’s hard online, especially for autistic people.
