Compatibility-mode Memes

Internet Explorer: the browser so legendarily slow that it couldn't even make it to its own funeral on time. Microsoft officially killed it in 2015, but like that one coworker who never reads their emails, IE kept showing up to work for another four years thanks to Edge's compatibility mode. Now Microsoft's finally planning to pull the plug by 2029, which means this zombie browser will have been "dead" for 14 years before it actually dies. The comment is pure gold: "So slow it was literally late to its own funeral." That's not just a roast, that's a cremation. IE spent decades being the punchline of every browser speed joke, and even in death, it's still living up to its reputation. Nothing says "legacy code nightmare" quite like a browser that takes 14 years to finish dying.
