Still Waiting...

Let's be honest—while everyone's simping over AI girlfriends, the real hotties are those RTX GPUs with their triple fans and RGB lighting. Sure, your AI girlfriend might ghost you when the servers go down, but this beauty will render your games at 144 fps without complaint. The only relationship where "getting hot" is actually a feature, not a bug. Just don't ask about the power bill... that's the real relationship killer.

Someone really said "I need more RAM" and went straight to the 1960s computer museum clearance sale. Look at that glorious stack of punch cards sitting there like ancient scrolls of forgotten code! Each hole punched with the precision of a medieval scribe, storing maybe what, 80 bytes per card? You'd need roughly 137 BILLION of these bad boys to match a single 8GB RAM stick. But hey, at least when your program crashes, you can literally see which card caused the segfault and just... throw it in the trash. No memory leaks here—just physical holes leaking air! The ultimate in debugging: if it doesn't work, just punch different holes.

When tech support connects to your machine and immediately tells you to "kindly get a different computer," you know you've achieved peak digital dumpster fire status. Poor Jennifer K just wanted to help with an exam setup but apparently stumbled into the digital equivalent of opening a haunted storage unit. Two minutes of remote access was all it took for her to realize this laptop belongs in a museum... of technological horrors. That's the tech support equivalent of a doctor walking into the exam room, taking one look at you, and immediately recommending a priest instead.

Nothing breaks the laws of physics quite like desperate gamers with credit cards. The meme ranks the "fastest things on earth" with cheetahs and airplanes being respectable contenders, even the speed of light making a decent showing... but then there's the unholy velocity of scalpers snatching up GPUs before you can even finish reading the product announcement. For those who've spent the last three years trying to upgrade their graphics card without selling a kidney, this hits harder than a compiler error on deployment Friday. The red progress bar being completely filled just adds that extra twist of the knife.

Back in the day, game devs were out here coding ENTIRE ROLLERCOASTER TYCOONS in Assembly language like absolute psychopaths, fitting shooters into 97KB (yes, KILOBYTES), and somehow making games run on potatoes while also having bodies that could bench press a small car. They were built different, both literally and figuratively. Fast forward to now and we've got AAA studios crying about how they can't fix bugs because someone's allegedly stealing breast milk (?!), shipping 50GB games that require another 50GB day-one patch, telling you to buy a NASA-grade PC just so their unoptimized mess doesn't crash every 5 minutes, and blaming YOU—the player—for their always-online singleplayer game being broken. The devolution is REAL and it's SPECTACULAR in the worst way possible. We went from "I made this masterpiece fit on a floppy disk" to "Sorry, the game is 200GB and still doesn't work, also here's $70 worth of microtransactions." The bar went from the moon straight to the Earth's core.

The noble aspirations of AI research versus the grim reality of where computational power actually goes. On the left, we have AI detecting breast cancer 5 years before it develops—potentially saving countless lives. On the right, some poor GPU is being absolutely tortured to render a cow at 15 FPS in what appears to be the world's jankiest video game, complete with a rage-filled gamer screaming about "fake frames." It's the perfect encapsulation of humanity's priorities: we build supercomputers that could solve humanity's greatest challenges, then immediately use them to make slightly better cow animations. The bottom corner showing all those graphics settings (RTX, DLSS, etc.) is just the chef's kiss of overkill for whatever that monstrosity is supposed to be.
