I feel like there's a really good joke here but I do not see it. Please elaborate.

Maid building PC meme from CPU fan perspective 1000011581

But like. Is this just a picture or is there a video? Asking for a friend

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

...and a stranger.

I am this stranger. 😅

I mean, I get it, but what is this from?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

Ah. Got it!

[–] Rand0mA 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There isnt. This latest generation of teens/young adults like to dress up like some anime hussy maid and run arch linux with full RBG and a plushie they probably fuck

I was confused for a moment, because intuitively a CPU fan would look in the same direction as it blows air, so it should look into the heatsink. The fan looking away from the heatsink seems weird to me.

Or the owner installed the fan in the wrong direction.

You've been doing it wrong your whole life.

[–] akash_rawal 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hmm... Maybe I should adjust my priorities.

I actually assumed there was a new asian band called Chinese Persons Unlimited or something... 😅

This took me way longer to understand than it should have.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't get it and I've been thinking about it too long now.

The meme is not sufficient in itself to make sense. It only works in the context of weibos fawning over japanese maid cosplay mixed with PC building... From the early 2000s from the look of the computer

Having worked with maids in real life, no fucking way I'm letting anyone with a electrostatic feather duster near a ungrounded circuit board, especially if their wearing polyester uniforms with insulated platform shoes...

Thanks! I have never been a part of anime related communities/subcultures so I would have never picked up on that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (3 children)

See the picture I attached. Now pretend you're horizontal on the floor looking up at the maid building the PC. You are the CPU fan looking up

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wait is that seriously it?

When I first saw it I thought it was that some brand makes their fans in Japan, or "maid in Japan". And I thought that was a kinda lame joke. But it works a lot better than a reference as obscure as this…

I saw the original posted too many times to not come up with a response, I thought they were mostly here on /c/linuxmemes but maybe not. Usually captioned "average Arch user". 😅

Yeah, like the FPS style porn, I get it.🎮

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I'd be looking up otherplaces if given the chance... 😅

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Can you enlighten the rest of us simpletons?

Where did that come from, anyway?

[–] f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4 10 points 8 months ago

I thought, at first, that it had something to do with the Evil Maid threat vector.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Meme-foul... using title as words on the image... 50-yard penalty.
