Wii Remote Wrist Strap

About

Wii Remote Wrist Strap refers to the strap attached to game controllers for the Nintendo Wii intended to prevent players from accidentally releasing and potentially throwing the controller. Years after the console’s release, jokes about the dangers of playing the Wii without the wrist strap began appearing on Reddit.

Origin

The Nintendo Wii was released on November 19th, 2006.[1] The console came with motion controllers which in certain games, such as Wii Sports, would require a player to move the controller as one would an object like a tennis racket or baseball bat. Because of the danger of accidentally throwing the remote, the Wii came with wrist straps one could attach to the controller and place around their wrist to prevent the controller from being thrown and accidentally causing household damage.



Jokes about the Wii Remote Wrist Strap appeared in early image macros. For example, an Insanity Wolf joke about the Wii Remote has appeared on Meme Generator. Though the post is undated, it references Just Dance, a video game which came out in 2009, suggesting it may have been posted around that time.



Spread

In 2015, after Katy Perry’s performance at that year’s Super Bowl, several internet users noticed the wrist strap attached to her microphone resembled the Wii Remote wrist strap. A thread about the similarity posted to /r/wiiu on February 2nd, 2015,[2] gained over 6,200 points (shown below).



On April 17th, 2015, Smash Boards forum[3] user skylanders fan posted a Super Smash Bros. 4 Character Announcement Parody with the figure demonstrating poor use of the Wii Remote (shown below).



In January of 2018, jokes about the Wii Remote wrist strap began appearing on Reddit. It appears they got their start in Star Wars meme subreddits. A popular variation of the meme posted to /r/prequelmemes[4] on January 17th, 2018 gained over 6,900 upvotes (shown below, left). On January 22nd, 2018, a Wii Remote joke was posted to /r/sequelmemes[5] and gained over 15,000 upvotes. The format also grew popular on /r/dankmemes. On January 22nd, 2018, an inquiry about the uptick in Wii Remote jokes was posted to /r/OutOfTheLoop.[6]

Object Labeling

0
0

About

Object Labeling refers to the practice of creating image macros in which subjects of a specific image are labeled to create a humorous interpretation of the picture. Similar to exploitables, Object Labeling involves changing a picture in various ways to make different jokes. The practice began seeing use in meme making in the mid 2010s, as several meme formats from the time employed object labeling.

Precursor

The practice of object labeling can be traced back to political cartoons, an artform where it is common practice to label objects in an effort to make a political point. The first political cartoon published in the United States, Benjamin Franklin’s “Join or Die,” was published in May of 1754 and features a disconnected snake, with each section labeled as a different American colony (shown below).[1] Franklin’s point was that if the American colonies did unite, the nation would not succeed.



Origin

One of the earliest known Object Labeling memes came during the Console Wars of 2012. On June 5th, 2012, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) was held in Los Angeles, California, where Microsoft unveiled several upcoming games and new features for the Xbox 360, Sony presented new games and updates to the PlayStation and Nintendo showed titles for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. During the conference, many animated GIFs depicting the three companies engaging in battle (shown below) were posted in a thread on the NeoGAF Forums.



Spread

Object Labeling became more popular in the mid-2010s, as several memes created from 2017-onwards involved changing a picture by labeling objects in pictures different things.

Respect Women

One of the first memes to start the Object Labeling trend was Respect Women. Respect Women is an image macro series featuring pictures that are ironically captioned with jokes about how the subject represents their “respect” for women.


stone cold steve austin drinks beers that are actually respect women juiceillustration of man spraying respect water at a dog labeled womensoldier throwing a respect women hand grenade into a hole

Cracking Open a Cold One With the Boys

Cracking Open a Cold One With the Boys is a copypasta about drinking beers with a group of male friends which is often used to caption various image macros circulated within ironic meme and circlejerk communities online. Many of the images created for the meme involve labeling different images to create a “cracking open a cold one with the boys” joke.



Distracted Boyfriend

Distracted Boyfriend, also known as Man Looking at Other Woman, is a captioned stock photo series in which a man looks at the backside of a woman walking by while another woman, presumably his romantic partner, looks on disapprovingly. Many variations of the meme involved labeling the different characters in the photos different things.

Sniper Elite Headshot

Sniper Elite Headshot is an image macro series featuring an exploitable screenshot of a bullet flying at a soldier’s head in the 2017 shooter game Sniper Elite 4, which often represent the soldier and bullet as opposing forces. Nearly all the variations of the meme involved labeling the bullet and head in the original image different things.



Others

Other memes to employ the practice include The Bowler, The Razzle Dazzle Bird, Buzz Lightyear Outruns Spikes, and Miss Me With That Gay Shit.

Explosive growth of Shopify or Death of Drupal?

0
0

Today, 73% of all online stores just run on three platforms: Magento, Woocommerce, and Shopify. No matter, Drupal being the second most-used open source website content management system. But still, the analysis shows that Drupal appears nowhere even once.

Shopify the leading e-commerce solution* – an amazing tool that helps you build high-performance E-Commerce websites within hours. When we look back at past few years we realize that Shopify has enjoyed the explosive growth, which is a vivid sign of assurance that Shopify isn’t going anywhere. Shopify saves our clients with simpler needs time and money and speeds up their time-to-market by orders of magnitude over traditional commerce systems. Interestingly, Shopify recently launched a new enterprise platform called Shopify Plus targeted at high-traffic enterprise stores. They clearly aspire to break out of the low-end market.

_*Differences between Drupal and Shopify
_
General Description:__

Shopify is a complete e-commerce solution that allows you to set up an online store to sell your goods. It lets you organize your products, customize your storefront, accept credit card payments, track and respond to orders -- all with a few clicks of the mouse. It is a cost-effective, compelling commerce platform for clients with modest annual revenue or for teams that don’t need custom integrations with other systems.

Drupal has emerged as a powerful PHP-based open source content management system. This user-friendly platform has millions of worldwide user base across many industry verticals. It helps better publish, manage and update website content. Whether you want a personal blog or an enterprise-grade website, Drupal delivers!

Drupal is a highly secure and scalable framework that is easy to use. It has numerous features and add-ons that further improve its functionality. This open source framework does not require any license and you can simply plug-in and get started. Drupal has the right combination of power, flexibility and is great as a development platform. Also, it offers the best custom theme development features in the industry.

User Experience: When it comes to user experience Shopify is ahead of the game as for Shopify it is 2% to 3 % more than that of Drupal.

Serving needs of a low-end market: Here, also Shopify earns more points as It’s in heavy growth and market adoption phase.

Overall Comparison Score for Drupal and Shopify: If we give Shopify and Drupal overall Score out of 10 then for Shopify it will be 9.8 and Drupal it will be 8.0.

Some of the Challenges that one faces with Drupal:

  • Abandoned Modules: The major problem with Drupal is that modules that get replaced by an entirely different approach which really sucks. In the early days of Drupal, most site buildings were done by people programming custom modules on top of the Form API and the various other parts of the Drupal internals. Enough of these were generalized and shared back to the community that the next phase was characterized by thousands of single-purpose modules -- install exactly what you need for each feature you want to provide and perhaps need over a hundred on your site.

Now the number of modules you need is getting far less -- we have a more general purpose, extremely powerful modules like Views, Rules, Display Suite, Features, and Context. As a result, the single-purpose modules are becoming obsolete, and developers pretty much abandon them.

  • Media Management and Modules: The most obvious problem Drupal face is the lack of Media management in Drupal’s core. Media Manager is absent, so mastering videos, pictures and other media files in poor to say the least. Because of that, many users prefer WordPress and other E-Commerce platforms, because they are tired of uploading the same image again and again.
  • Drupal Community: One of the main problems is that Drupal users are not as active in the community as they should be. This in activeness slow downs the problem-solving process for the Drupal experts.
  • Efficiency: The major reason for Drupal’s inefficiency is Caching. Caching is how it gets around the memory hogging problem and lets your site load quickly but it also means that sometimes things don’t get refreshed when they should be.

What charms Shopify?

Everything works great together for Shopify. Here, is where all the beauty lies
N-number of Payment Gateways
User-friendly and simple to use as you can get your website ready few clicks of mouse
For Shopify, there is good amount of Professional Support and Easy Backend Administration
There is option of lot many built-in tools like a blog, coupon codes, upsells, cross-sells, analytics and many more

Conclusion

SaaS is the Future!

Drupal is still alive but SaaS platforms like Shopify and BigCommerce are built in an orderly fashion that caters to the needs of the majority of the users. They define a generalized structure for their system. One way it is good, we can have a stable and robust system.

From all the above points maximum votes are in favor of Shopify as it caters the needs of the low-end market.

Angela Merkel VR Goggles is a series of four-pane exploitables featuring German Chancellor Angela Merkel looks through virtual reality goggles. The user then adds something horrific or absurd in the third panel, leading to a fourth panel in which Merkel looks disturbed or excited, depending on the author’s intended opinion.

Origin

On April 25th, 2016, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Barack Obama visited the Hannover Masse trade fair at the Hanover Fairground in Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany. During their visit, they both tried on a pair of virtual reality goggles.[1]



Spread

The following day, a series of four-panel exploitables began appearing on the German message board lachschon.de. The images separate the moment at the trade fair into four panels. One of the earliest, posted by Lachschon[2] user baumarktfuzzy, featured a group of Muslim protesters holding up signs that read “Islam Will Dominate the World.” The post (shown below, left) received a rating of 7.22 in two years.

Several clips were affected by it, including the clip telling defending players in the game mode war “A bomb has been planted on our ammo supply” on the map breakout.

Spread

On December 10th, 2017, YouTuber M3RKMU51C, who mostly makes videos related to Call of Duty and other FPS, uploaded a video. The video featured this soundclip, among other things (skip to 2:11). This caused the catchphrase to spread through the call of duty community even more, making it more popular than the other earrape audio clips.
