They Did Them Dirty Here

When you spend your life savings on an RTX 9070XT only to discover your i7-4790K processor from 2014 is wheezing like an asthmatic sloth trying to keep up. It's like strapping a rocket engine to a shopping cart and wondering why you're not breaking the sound barrier. The CPU whispers "bottleneck, dude" as it struggles to feed data to your $1000 graphics card that's sitting there at 15% utilization, contemplating its existence.

Nothing quite captures the shock of watching your $1000 GPU melt like a surprised Pikachu face. You bought that fancy RTX card knowing it had "issues," yet somehow expected different results? Classic definition of insanity right there. The real kicker is how we all act surprised when technology with known defects does exactly what everyone warned us about. Next time just set your money on fire directly—at least you'll save on the electricity bill.

Ah yes, the highly scientific comparison between AMD and NVIDIA where the only metric is... *checks notes*... the number in the product name. Groundbreaking research showing that 6900 is indeed larger than 3090. Next up: shocking revelation that RTX 4090 absolutely destroys both in this revolutionary benchmark. Hardware enthusiasts in shambles right now.

The joke that never gets old, unlike your GPU! When Nvidia "displays their entire stock" of RTX 3080s in 2020, they're literally showing the ONE card they had available. Four years later and we're still experiencing the same supply chain theater - fancy press releases followed by six months of "out of stock" notifications. Scalpers continue to be the real GPU architects, designing elaborate systems to separate you from your money while you desperately try to run Cyberpunk above 30fps. The crypto bros may have moved on, but somehow graphics cards remain as elusive as documentation that actually matches the codebase.

OH MY GOD, the dystopian nightmare of computer hardware! This meme is taking the iconic "Big Brother" scene from Orwell's 1984 and turning it into the ULTIMATE warning for anyone who's ever dared to build their own PC. That terrifying moment when you're elbow-deep in your computer case, about to touch the Power Supply Unit while it's still plugged in, and suddenly the ghost of electrical safety past appears to DRAMATICALLY warn you! For the uninitiated, a PSU converts AC power from your wall into the DC power your computer components crave. Touch the wrong part while it's energized and BOOM - you've just been promoted to human lightning rod! Those capacitors can hold enough charge to send you to the shadow realm even when unplugged! The Ministry of Hardware Safety is ALWAYS watching you, sweetheart. Big Brother doesn't want you fried today! 💀⚡

That moment when someone learns you're in "computer science" and immediately assumes you're tech support. Sure, I can reverse a binary tree, implement a neural network, and debug race conditions, but no, I have absolutely no idea why your laptop makes that weird clicking sound. I mean, I could look at it, but that would set a dangerous precedent where I become everyone's personal Geek Squad. My algorithm for handling these requests is simple: blank stare, slight smirk, change subject.
