The Matrix meets metadata in this multi-layered joke. Oracle (the database company) is notorious for its aggressive cookie policies on websites, while in The Matrix, the Oracle is a prophetic character who offers Neo cookies. The genius is in the double meaning—Neo rejecting Oracle's "cookies" works both as a privacy-conscious web user and as the actual movie scene.

It's the perfect intersection of 90s sci-fi and modern web development frustration. Next time you click "reject all cookies," just imagine you're making a stand against the machines. You're basically Neo.
