Despicable little fuckers that caused the 2021 graphics cards shortage.
They're the reason why we can't purchase a graphics card at a normal price.
Scalpers are literally the bane of everyone's existence.

Get the Scalper mug.When these letters are read out in French it sounds like you're saying "elle a chaud au cul", which basically means "she has a hot ass".
Also the name of one of Marcel Duchamp's work, in which he doodled a stache on Mona Lisa.

Get the L.H.O.O.Q. mug.It's not just about the format. Old internet memes (circa 2006-2015) were generally less obnoxious, less obscene, less grotesque, less stupid, less deadpan, less political, and just generally more graceful and lighthearted. You never took them seriously, and they always made you smile or laugh (NOT smirk!)
Today's memes often leave you smirking rather than smiling or giggling, as the meme often plays with the more ironic, farce and brazen side of humour. This makes for a less "happy" experience as such. Certainly not something you'd be consuming/posting unironically, unlike nyan cat, animal advice, and lolcat memes.
Another difference between modern and old memes is the level of irony. Obviously memes of all kinds is not meant to be taken seriously, but most modern memes will add a layer of irony on top of a seemingly serious context to make it seem funny or silly. Old memes are just funny or silly by its very nature.
Old memes can be virtually understood by anyone of any demographic and the humour is often naturally communicated by the image. Modern memes tend to be too ambiguous to be understood correctly by everyone and the humour is specific to a certain demographic (i.e. Gen Z teenagers). Serious debriefing is required to understand most modern memes, even the ones with zero meaning.
Overall, old memes just had that quirky yet graceful charm that modern memes lack. Old memes rule, don't let anyone tell you otherwise (and if they do, they're probably a zoomer).

Get the old memes mug.A very potent and empowering phrase that, when strongly communicated, will completely annihilate all forms of idiocy, nuisance and bullshit within one's proximity. Can be directed at a person, thing, text or AI.
Pornographic Popup Ads: *exist*
Me: Shut the fuck up
Stupid e-girl: Hey boo, buy my feet pics for $5!!!!
Me: Shut the fuck up
Me: Alexa, set desk lamp brightness to ten percent
Alexa: Got it, playing despacito
Me: Shut the fuck up
Some kid: *unironically necroposts on my 9 year old comment*

Get the Shut the fuck up mug.An aphorism intended to be used by any intellectual to tell someone to get to know their subject better before spreading outright BS.
Unfortunately, the phrase has more often than not been abused by internet trolls, zealots and narcissists as a hilariously hypocritical thought-terminating cliché. If used by trolls, they will go even further and link the same exact sources that you would have used against them, thereby deliberately angering you even more.
This phrase can also be used satirically, facetiously or sarcastically. In this case that is totally fine.

John: Eyy bro! Glad we could meet up at the mall. Wait, where's your mask?
Robbie: Eh I forgot it at home, but I figured I wouldn't get covid anyway cause I got the vaccine. Besides there's not many people here.
John: Bro wtf? Do you not know what the masks are really for? Please do your research man.

Troll: I can't wait till that new Xperia phone comes out! I love that they are using a 144hz display.
User 1: Are you joking? It states everywhere that the display is 120hz, not 144hz.
Troll: Do your research bud. Clearly you must be trolling.
User 1: I did and you are wrong. Trolling?? LMFAO hypocrite.
Troll: *sends a link to Sony's website which blatantly states that the display is 120hz* Here's your proof bud, it says 144hz. How does it feel to be wrong?
User 2: Ugh somebody report this troll please.
▼Satirical/Facetious/Sarcastic Usage▼
Friend 1: Probably the most stupid vine I ever saw was that kid who kept saying 9+10=21.
Friend 2: What?! Are you telling me you don't know that 9+10=21?? Do your research girl! Haha.

Get the Do your research mug.A great VR headset with the most uncool name. Sounds like the name of some random educational software. Compare that to a modern badass name like Oculus Rift or Oculus Go. The words themselves are very ambiguous. Like am I on a meta quest or something?? Lol.
Me when I think of Oculus Rift: *cool, epic gamer vibes ensues*
Me when I think of Meta Quest: *cricket, cricket....* oh wait, I think I'm feeling something.... *educational software vibes ensues*

Get the Meta Quest mug.The most versatile phrase for when somebody thanks you but you: A) really don't care enough or B) there's not much else to say about it.
Internet User A: Omg thank you for writing this comment, it made my day!
Internet User B: Happy to help!
Internet User B: Happy to help!
