A message from Meta Quest with a picture of quadrupedal orange alien with purple spots down its spine and large green eyes named Bogo from the Oculus Quest experience of the same name. Below the image is the text:

"Hi Kolorafa,

We are reaching out to let you know that Bogo will no longer be supported as of Friday, March 15, 2024. You may continue to wave at, pet, and feed Bogo on your Quest device until 11:59 PM PT on that date.

We admit we've gotten attached to the little guy too! There's still time to grab that just-slightly-out-of-reach fruit one last time. Bogo will appreciate it. And so will we. 🐾 🎆

Thanks,

The Meta Quest team"

Conversation between a person with a male profile picture (Kevin Sorbo) and a female profile picture (Jojo From Jerz).

Kevin Sorbo: '"Can I drive your car." No you're 5 "Can I have a beer?" No you're 5 "Can I have a cigarette?" No you're 5 "Can I take hormones and change my gender?" Of course! You know what's best.'

Jojo From Jerz: '"Can I go to a PG-13 movie?" No you're 12 "Can I buy cough medicine?" No you're 12 "Can I drive a car?" No you're 12 "Can I have a cigarette?" No you're 12 "Can I get a job?" No you're 12 "Can I get married & be forced to carry a baby to term?" Of course! We know what's best!

I have been surprised at the origin of meme images quite a bit doing these transcriptions.

A four-panel comic called Pervis by Zach M. Stafford.

The first panel shows a young man in a brown button-down shirt and orange tie standing in a street with a house in the background. The young man is saying "I'm going to buy a house!"

The second panel shows a much older man, now bald but still wearing the brown shirt and orange tie, speaking to a man in a green button-down shirt and green tie. The elderly man is saying "...and that was how I bought a house when I was 23!"

The third panel shows a close-up of the older man's face, he looks agitated, his eyes scrunched up and his mouth open wide as he yells "I worked at the drive-in all summer for that house!! Nobody wants to work anymore!"

The fourth panel shows the elderly man and the green-shirted man again, this time both are facing away from the viewer and the green-shirted man is holding the end of an electrical plug that he's just pulled from the wall. The older man is saying "...why are you unplugging my lamp?" To which the green-shirted man responds, "I'm just practicing"

A drawing of two men, sitting in a library room. The younger-looking man is sitting in a wooden chair and reading a book, while the older-looking man is sitting in an armchair, a tea cup and open book on the small, round coffee table beside him. The older man is saying: '"Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it. Yet those who do study history are doomed to stand by helplessly while everyone else repeats it."'

"I love my smart TV. I love the way it takes a long time to boot up because it's trying to refresh the advertisements on the home screen. I delight in the way it randomly restarts because it's downloaded an update without asking me, each of which makes the TV slower and slower with every subsequent install. I adore the way it buries the apps that I want to use, and that I use without fail every single time, below the apps that it's being paid to promote and which I have never touched in my life and would never use without the cold metal of a glock pressed hard against my sweating temple. I am infinitely thrilled by the way the interface lags constantly, due to the need to have one thousand unnecessary animations rendered on hardware ripped wholesale from a ten year old phone. I feel myself borne aloft on wings of pure joy when I am notified that my data will be collected and analysed to determine my usage patterns. Even now I am writing this from a field of beautiful flowers and soft luscious grass as I lie and look up happily at the bright blue sky, smiling happily to know that this is the future of technology."
