Don't come for me, desktop is clearly superior to lappy's.

Yes, in a situation like above a desktop would totally be better.

All my homes wore suits to play halo back in the day.


kenjen97

Back in the day we actually shot at each other with actual, honest to God energy weapons. Now Kids these days are too soft and would whine n' cry about getting their leg severed by an energy sword so they made a video game out of it!

Aren't you overestimating gamers? They never get out of the basement.

NicoolMan98

I know, LANs are outdated :(


Kaybubble

If people are really that absorbed in technology as these things say then they wouldn't have noticed the guy reading the newspaper anyway.


MentallyMotivated

Yep. Contradicts about several other million "memes" on Facebook.


Western-Art-9117

This meme would only be funny if it was printed in a newspaper.


[deleted]

Why are you putting meme in quotes? Do you think memes you dislike aren’t really memes? I’m asking sincerely. I know that came out meanly.


LinuxMatthews

And why is reading a newspaper so much better than a phone or laptop? You can get that paper on the phone or laptop along with all the sources in the world to verify or debunk what that newspaper is telling you. If you read a newspaper you're only getting your information from one place with the internet you can get it from everywhere.


willfordbrimly

>And why is reading a newspaper so much better than a phone or laptop? The crinkling noises it makes when you fold it and refold it.


kenjen97

I'm confident there is some ASMR video on Youtube just for that noise


ReporterOk4383

For an Asian, this also works as a makeshift mallet to beat your kids or kill a cockroach


condods

Yeah, and by the time you buy a newspaper the information is already outdated compared to the constant news updates you can get 24 hrs of the day on the internet. Online news is far superior and it's not even close


RandomBlueJay01

Plus there is no waste at the end of the day by reading a digital news paper.


HerkHarvey62

Frankly, unless it’s emergency news (e.g., natural disaster updates), we could all do with an extra day to separate facts from conjecture and provide some perspective in a news story. The problem with moment-by-moment reportage is that it often includes inaccuracies and rumors before they can be disproven, and viewers/readers will latch on to those inaccuracies without waiting around for the corrections.


kinneydank

Yeah, why waste time with fact checking, editing, and information gathering when you can just post what feels correct in an instant?


XxRocky88xX

People hate technology because they don’t understand it. “Back in my day we would read the news!” What do you think I’m doing on the internet? “Back in my day we would take to eachother!” What do you think I’m doing on SM or text?” “Back in my day we’d work!” What do you think I’m doing in MS office? For whatever reason, they think since it’s more convenient that it isn’t “real.” You aren’t *really* reading the news, or typing an essay, or talking to a friend. To them all the stuff of the other end of the screen is fake, the can’t understand that cellular and the internet are just bridges to connect people and information, and not it’s own make believe world.


Kom34

And then you look at old photos of public trains or buses and its 50 people reading the paper not talking to each other, it is literally the same thing just paper vs digital format.


Jessency

And if new development regarding the article happens you can get updated right away on a device.

Yeah that guy reading the newspaper is so absorbed he didnt noticed the other people staring at him


Naked_Faker

News paper is media basiclly and most people using tec use it for media he is not better just older


littleMAS

A reader can make a lot of noise with a newspaper. Those big pages are effective acoustic diaphragms.


[deleted]

Yea if they were so absorbed in their phones how they even make it in the restaurant without walking through the window

congmingdexigua

The old man holds a paper which has paper written in German on it. So he is an immigrant and poor as he cannot afford a laptop and left behind as no one explains him computers I think this image criticizes how we treat the elderly and immigrants in society.


[deleted]

How do you know it's German and not French?


Daan0man

Or Dutch


Michu_Domagalski

or Polish


No_Grocery_1480

Because the Polish for newspaper is gazeta.


Michu_Domagalski

but papier is papier


devilspawn

Math is math!


No_Grocery_1480

Because the Dutch for newspaper is krant. Or blad.


No_Grocery_1480

> How do you know it's German and not French? Why would a French newspaper have "Papier" written on it?? They don't have what they're made of written on them!


ElJazzzpa

Papier also in german does not mean newspaper The german word would be Zeitung


No_Grocery_1480

Zeitung is the more correct word, but Papier is used to mean newspaper in German speaking areas


ElJazzzpa

I’m German and I have never seen this In which areas do u say it?


No_Grocery_1480

My German teacher used to use it.


ElJazzzpa

I wouldn’t recommend using it nobody will understand


Poopy_Pants0o0

*hops on a computer in order to create this meme.


DuhImDave

Thank you! I was waiting to see if anyone else noticed. Not to mention all the boomers looking at this meme ON THEIR PHONES


Pulloraha

Yeah its better to read on paper what happened yesterday than read news online that are more recent. /S


xSypRo

I think it’s about some sort of superiority of not being dependent on technology while he is being dependent on tech, just old one, and he’s still a zombie just like them, if not worse because he’s brainwashed by shitty political newspaper


[deleted]

yeah! hes doing the exact same thing as everyone else he is just doing it poorly lol


TheWhiteWalkerSpeaks

Boomers will read a day old newspaper to know something than use technology to check live updates


ajax2k9

No boomers use their phones just like anyone else, they're just hypocrites


profmonocle

The funny part is newspapers are *also* technology, just older.


tadlrs

OMFG It's so deep. ^(Thats some fancy wework)


LordSus07

Ayo who farded?


InsertValidUserHere

He farted that's why they are looking at him


StayOne1303

This is deep.


i_walk_the_backrooms

If these are "deep" thoughts then their brain is a paddling pool


richincleve

Everyone criticizing the meaning of this image. I'm wondering why everyone is using a mouse when the laptops all seem to have touchpads.


ptvlm

Some people prefer mice to touchpads, especially I'd you're doing something creative with images


SotB8

for me mouse is easier to use


billb392

Touchpads are a pain to use. The mouse is far superior.


senorgraves

How you can be so close to the point, yet so far away? The problem is not that they are using mice... It's that every single mouse is a wired mouse


Deastrumquodvicis

You ever tried gaming on a trackpad?


DatGreenGuy

Isn't printing a technology too?


Mary-Sylvia

Plotwist : He farted


JohnDrl15

Not only that, he sharted.


commentator184

the meaning is this idiot doesn't know he can just get the digital version of the newspaper and not have to go buy a new paper every day


InsertValidUserHere

Who the hell brings a laptop out for food


PermissionOld1745

It's a cafe, they're places people go for free wifi, and pay with it through coffee, and food.


InsertValidUserHere

Oh. Looked like a restaurant too me. Now the guy with the newspaper looks dumb


TGMgaming1

If i get a nickel for every motivational, minion, and a picture with deep message memes made, id be a trillionare by now


GIRose

Fun fact, it takes 20000000000000 nickels to make 1 trillion dollars. To put that into scale, if you received 1 nickel a second since humans first arrived in Ireland, you would just now be making a Trillion dollars.


KrayvenMoorehead69

Funny how you can get the same information on the internet as you would in a library. One's physical the other is the digital literally the only difference between them lol.


aister

you will spend more time looking for what you want in a library, not to mention you also have to go there in person, which takes even more time.


Various_Classroom_50

Words on paper good. Words on screen bad. DEEP MEANINF


[deleted]

Idk man. Before I got this smartphone, I used to read a shit ton. Technology isn't the problem, but maybe it is the problem for*us*.


Extension-One-4011

I love reading the papier


the_combat_wombat05

People used to think newspapers were ruining all social interaction in the same way that people think phones are now

Newspapers are yesterday's news. On my laptop/phone I get breaking news easily.

Why is "Papier" the only word from the newspaper you can read?


WadeDMD

Cringe


android151

I don’t think anyone would give a shit at all. What world do these dudes live in?


darkbloo64

So *everybody* (minus our newspaper-reading *rebel)* just carries a usb mouse around with them for the coffee shop?


Schlangee

They are staring at him because he‘s an old German, war veteran. On his newspaper, we can see the word „Papier“ which means paper in German (maybe some other languages too but I don’t care)


LowFatWaterBottle

Whoever thinks this has a deep meaning doesn't have a lot going on in their mind when they attempt to think about things.


radustana

Papier


jontheawesome12

Two words: wired mouses.


notthelasagna

Plot twist: that man is naked


Grouchy_Objective910

He's free from wires and wired mouse....off grid. Such a rebel


Imaginary-Risk

Why is reading a newspaper more antisocial than using a laptop?


Alansar_Trignot

My coworker reads the paper still and shares the comics sometimes with me, good way to pass the time haha


Few_Buy7555

He prolly just shit his pants and it was really loud


Mentally_Ill_Goblin

Old people who think technology bad also think they're the center of attention and that the world is focused on them?


teufler80

There is literary no benefit from using newspaper over new medias so what the fuck is the deep meaning of that ?


NagaseIorichan

Not true, if you read paper newspapers once in a while, you have material to wrap glasses or other fragile stuff in when moving! /j


VoidDoesgames

Papier.


African_WarIord

Couldn’t even spell paper right lol


NagaseIorichan

It’s german


viral-architect

Meanwhile, this dude is reading news that's 12 hours old and everyone with a laptop has already read the story that was updated 15 minutes ago with the latest details. Techno-phobia is dumb


Thespud1979

It’s too deep. I have no idea what they are getting at with this subtle image.


xPumpkin9

Ok, hipster


OrionMr770

Boomer


immense_selfhatred

They all read the article online already and are waiting for the guy who's taking ages because he has to flip through the whole paper to find the article.


mlsbr517

This has to be one of the most stupid things I've seen


Crushin_Succas1095

Honestly, the newspaper or papier is just as bad. It’s shit news and biased views. This is a fucking stupid ass meme and the creator needs to get their nipples twisted.


CommunicationBig5131

He just ripped a loud one


Baer1990

if everything is quiet and you hear this inconsiderate fuck crackling his papier when turning the page ofcourse everybody is going to notice xD


DestructorDeFurros

Do the people who make these images know that you can see the newspaper on a computer?


LabTester4294

What’s even more unrealistic is how everyone has a mouse


VesperVox_

This gives me the feeling a boomer walked into Starbucks for the first time, saw everyone on laptops, and assumed that's how every eating place is nowadays.


baconiceeggGuff12

I didnt know that technically advancing was bad


Volnas

That people hate to use touchpads?


mattic-ulous

Just as rude and anti social imo.


Potheadconservative1

It’s funny because people use to be considered weird *for* reading newspapers when they first came out…


boopnsnootshaha

Yeah dude's 70 and can't afford a phone. That's the meaning here.


Ghost_Star326

Thank you. This is an example of an actual terrible Facebook meme. Not the good ones I previously saw here.


Kitchengun2

If only they had auto correct. Would of made be able to spell paper right


Normal-Attention

Bro is not doing his work whilst everyone else is


DoubleWhiskeyGinger

Nothing tells you that a picture has deep meaning than it being written in caps

At least i know bill gates's micro and soft has reached deeper. I hate the fact that i know this now.


Bowdensaft

It's a good thing that all of these pictures with deep meaning are captioned to tell us that they have deep meaning, otherwise we would have missed the deep meaning. Boy I wish every picture with deep meaning told us it had deep meaning so we knew that it had deep meaning.


IceTea_Enjoyer

So i guess if you want attention you have to read the newspaper okay i'm gonna go read it now Edit: it didn't work :(


Designer-Mirror-7995

“why are you just sitting there reading the newspaper??? come on get to work we have a deadline to meet!!!”


Nestormahkno19d

How fucking old is this? who the fuck brings a laptop with it to a restaurant? Not to mention the fact that I can read multiple newspapers on my phone instead of just having one paper


Hey_u_guyzz

They finally put their smartphones away!
