Reboot Memes

You: *writes detailed 500-line bug report with stack trace, environment variables, and reproduction steps* IT Support: "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" The universal IT solution that somehow fixes 90% of problems despite all logic and reason. It's the digital equivalent of blowing on a Nintendo cartridge—nobody knows why it works, but it does. The worst part? When they're actually right and your meticulously documented issue vanishes after a reboot.

Classic IT support meets politics. The top shows someone complaining "My tariffs aren't working" while the bottom panel delivers the universal tech support mantra: "Have you tried turning them on and off again?" wearing an RTFM shirt no less. It's that perfect blend of economic policy and the first rule of troubleshooting that every developer knows by heart. Just like how restarting fixes 90% of computer problems but 0% of economic ones. Some bugs require more than a reboot – they need a complete system redesign.

The standard IT support flowchart, as demonstrated by passive-aggressive waterfowl. First, ask if they've tried the obvious solution. Then suggest vibe checking their setup. When all else fails, make the universal hand gesture for "works on my machine" and walk away. Support tickets don't fix themselves, but neither do users who refuse to restart their computer.

The universal IT solution meets international trade policy. The bottom panel features Roy from "The IT Crowd" delivering his iconic tech support line, but this time to economic complaints instead of computer problems. The implication that complex economic policies could be fixed with the same brute-force restart method we use for routers is just... *chef's kiss*. Next up: trying to fix the national debt by blowing on it like an NES cartridge.

NASA, the literal ROCKET SCIENTISTS who put humans on the moon, fixed a multi-billion dollar space telescope with the EXACT SAME TECHNIQUE I use when my Wi-Fi stops working! 💀 The pinnacle of human engineering and astronomical achievement, the Hubble telescope, gets the same treatment as my $20 router from Best Buy. I'm SCREAMING! All those PhDs and fancy degrees, and their ultimate solution was "have you tried turning it off and on again?" The universal IT support mantra transcends even the vacuum of space!

DARLING, the ETERNAL DRAMA of IT support! 💅 From the humble help desk guy on the left just BEGGING you to restart your computer to Star Trek's Geordi La Forge on the right using FANCY TECHNOBABBLE to suggest THE EXACT SAME THING! The audacity! The sheer DECEPTION! It's like ordering a $50 cocktail that's just vodka with a fancy umbrella! No matter how advanced technology gets, the solution is STILL just "unplug it and plug it back in" but make it ✨fashion✨. I'm DYING at how this has been IT's secret weapon since the dawn of computing!
