    I mean, IDK if it was great expense, but I do think it was done by either someone who decided to make this one fairly dumb point into a true labor of love to make the most polished meme I’ve seen all year for it (unlikely), or by someone who does a ton of graphic design (whether for memes or no) to the point that making stuff that looks polished like this isn’t a big deal for them. The second seems more likely, although I guess who knows.

    I am really curious where it came from. Tineye returns 0 results.

      true labour of love to make the most polished meme

      Making this meme is relatively simple even if you have minimal skills in graphic design (the pitch is IMO also pretty straightforward). The hardest part (on a relative basis) is finding the image.

      I think you over-estimate how difficult it would be to make this meme, it’s 5-10 minutes tops if you already have the image.

        Sure. Want to make one that has this level of polish, to demonstrate how easy it is? The subject matter can be how PhilipTheBucket is a big dummy.

          I am not going to do that. That’s not even a good theme for a meme in this context.

          A better one would be that meme image of the grandma by the computer saying something like “those must be the memes my granddaughter was talking about! What polish! They even have transparency!” And then you see the OP meme.

          Honestly you don’t have to believe me. I am not a graphic designer, but I regularly make similar stuff for slide decks as highlight for text content.

          Complex visualisations (not to mention the actual data analysis, validation etc) takes far more time and effort.
