Rj45 Memes

Nature is beautiful. Here we see a MikroTik switch giving birth to a litter of ethernet cables in their natural habitat. The miracle of life in the server room. Someone clearly had a very productive crimping session and decided the only logical thing to do was arrange their newborn RJ45 connectors in a circle like some kind of networking ritual. Either that or they're summoning the spirits of better upload speeds. Real talk though: if you've ever crimped ethernet cables, you know at least half of these won't work on the first try. Cable crimping has a 50% success rate at best, and that's being generous. The other half will give you intermittent connections that'll haunt your dreams for weeks.

Some architect really said "what if we made a building that looks like a giant Ethernet switch?" and somehow got approval. The windows are literally arranged in the exact pattern of RJ45 Ethernet ports, complete with that distinctive trapezoid shape. You can practically see the blinking LEDs indicating network activity. This building is either the physical manifestation of network infrastructure, or the architect's way of telling us they've been spending way too much time in the server room. I'm half expecting someone to try plugging a Cat6 cable into the third floor. Bandwidth: unlimited. Packet loss: just the occasional pigeon.
