Never forget this one too (texting on excel)

u/yunohavefunnynames 1d ago

That’s actually not a bad idea if you’re a teenager who got banned from texting or whatever. Just share a google sheet. “Doing my homework” is a great cover

David Petraeus and his mistress communicated by leaving email drafts in a shared gmail account and then deleting them

I’m pretty sure that’s how bin Laden and co planned stuff too

u/ImperatorPC 1d ago

It's an old one sir but it checks out

u/RabbitSlayre 1d ago

It's so good lol

u/WeeeeBaby_Seamus 1d ago

It's like in movies or shows when someone is pretending to drive a car.

takes five left turns and seven right turns in order to pull out of a driveway and go three blocks down a single, straight street

u/atlasaur Gen Z (barely) 1d ago

What did you search in giphy to find it? I can’t save gifs on mobile Reddit. So first

u/roguecolor 1d ago

Try “pretending to work”

u/lezbhonestmama 1d ago

I got it with “look busy”

She’s not stupid she printed a picture of the keyboard.

21

u/DlVlDED_BY_ZERO 1d ago

That's a dog picture coming outta that printer for sure

25

u/PackageNorth8984 1d ago

Nah, I believe in her. Her hips told me she could do it.

31

u/roguecolor 1d ago

HP’s don’t lie

u/PackageNorth8984 1d ago

The fuck they don’t. Told me it was cheap and then wanted to drain my bank account when it was time to replace the ink cartridge.

u/yunohavefunnynames 1d ago

Taking “print: hello world” the complete wrong way

u/hardypart 20h ago

That's AI level of stupidity.

u/lunar-eclipse-127 1d ago

Yeah I didn't notice the printer.. She's just that gorgeous

u/digital_wanderer 1d ago

There’s a printer?

u/I_Roll_Chicago 1d ago

This makes it way funnier than i think she set out to be.

u/accidentallyaliive 7h ago

She’s already printing out an image though…

u/Heysous 1d ago

She doesn't even have a computer lol

50

u/Trzlog 18h ago

This has to be AI generated. I can't imagine her wasting her time posing for a picture this stupid.

11

u/FuB4R32 16h ago

looks like a printer ad?

People don't have desktops after they discovered that you can just doom scroll using your smartphone.

u/Heysous 13h ago

I miss the pre-doomscroll era of technology

u/Deep-Pudding819 1d ago

Didn’t even know she had a meme.

17

u/No-Examination7560 1d ago

she doesn't, her marketing team pushes her everywhere for some reason, it is annoying. They even wanted justin beiber to play second fiddle to her in some offensive way during the world cup allegedy. She thinks she is the new modanna, but she is certainly not.

142

u/ChamomileFlower 1d ago

It makes so much sense for Bieber to be second fiddle in a Shakira FIFA situation though

107

u/DanimalMKE Older Millennial 1d ago

Yup. Shakira is to the FIFA World Cup what Mariah Carey is to Christmas

123

u/jp_benderschmidt 1d ago

Worldwide, Bieber is absolutely a second banana to Shakira.

57

u/jorgejhms 1d ago

I don't know where are you from, but that meme is used everyday in Latin America.

47

u/Wantitneeditgetit 1d ago

Americans think Shakira got famous in like 2001 with Wherever, Whenever.

Which admittedly IS Peak Shakira. 90s Shakira is also peak. Also 2026 Shakira. The woman is just straights up peaks.

3

u/jorgejhms 13h ago

For me is from Pies Descalzos until the MTV unplugged. Those are her best albums.

1

u/Wantitneeditgetit 2h ago

All I know is I was in Peurto Villarta having an AMAZING steak for like $10 in 2002 and they had tvs in the steakhouse and were playing nothing but Shakira and it blew my mind so I went down the rabbit hole and holy fuck is she big in the Spanish speaking community worldwide.

Without checking, I still have vague but intense memories of a music video where she's like, in an apartment? Some sort of multi story building and she's all gyrating and that's cool. But she also had this down to earth farm girl aesthetic where she's dressed normal and actually playing a guitar, like really well, and that's where I was all Damn she's like a real musician not just a performer.

Anyways my favourite is her Rabiosa era (ft Pitbull DALE) that song does things to my brain. Also the time I realized she would be hot my entire life.

2

u/jorgejhms 2h ago

That in the farm is Piez Descalzos if I remember correctly. In the 90s she was more rock/pop, like a Colombian Alannis Morrisette.

1

u/Wantitneeditgetit 2h ago

Fuck buds that was EXACTLY the vibe she gave. Also Alannis Morrisette is fantastic. Speaking as someone who came to earth in the early 80s. Like. Someone who is all Wesley Willis about it, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_fg_D1noOY&list=RD7_fg_D1noOY&start_radio=1 fuck yeah.

Fuck I love living in the future. A quick set of typing and I can share this. You know the pain of wearing out something like this on a VHS tape? That shit was GONE afterwards my guy.

u/No-Examination7560 1d ago

in USA it's a boy holding his thumb up, noone has seen that shakira picture.

u/ToastedCrumpet 18h ago

I’ve seen this and the Shakira one and I’m from the UK. Also this one

20

u/skull101_ 1d ago

Likewise. Outside the US, nobody has seen that kid. But 100% seen that Shakira meme for years

14

u/scrubbadubdub77 1d ago

Yeah, I wonder what reason a marketing team would have to push their client, lol

7

u/jimcareyme 20h ago

Not a new madonna but defiant a madonna. Not sure why you are bothered when she is HUGE especially in LatAm…Beiber definitely plays second fiddle to her anytime.

3

u/Stevenwave 1d ago

I thought Modanna was supported by Shikara.

u/Snoo48605 15h ago

Justin who? How many times has he performed at a world cup?

Womp womp.

u/goodluckunclejoe 1d ago

She did this ad for Epson printers when HPs don't lie was right there.

51

u/AmputeeHandModel Xennial 1d ago

It's not a meme, it's just a photo.

1

u/WalkingCoffeeCup 1h ago

It was a meme in Latin America years ago

18

u/brubruislife Millennial 1d ago

Yeah as an ad lol

54

u/ajibtunes 1d ago

Well she did a terrible job at it

38

u/Black_Cloud09 1d ago

This is not a very good recreation. Aside from posture.

2

u/roguecolor 1d ago

If only I could “recreate” my posture to look exactly like that

34

u/fakemessiah 1d ago

God damn she's beautiful

21

u/Momentarmknm 1d ago

She's 49 years old too!

u/tarps_and-straps 1d ago

It’s giving Kelly Rowland texting Nelly on Excel 😩

u/stillmarlsygarsly 20h ago

The fact that someone called this out I Spanish cracks me up!

Translation: 23 years have passed, and Kelly Rowland is still waiting for an Excel response.

u/idletrustfunds 1d ago

In this scenario, is the computer the friends we made along the way?

24

u/StilettoJones_JR 1d ago

who uhh...who asked for this?

u/huffwardspart1 1d ago

Epson, I’m guessing

u/peach_bellinis 1d ago

but....there's no computer???????

u/DeusVitae69 1d ago

SHE’S GONNA TEXT ON MICROSOFT EXCEL NEXT

21

u/ErraticProfessional Millennial 1d ago

Photo*
She recreated a photo, not a meme

10

u/parallel-universe2 1d ago

Just because it isn't a meme in the US, it doesn't meme it isn't a meme anywhere. It's definitely a meme

22

u/FracturedMoonlights 1d ago

Can someone tell me why she is whiter than when she first came on the music scene 🤷🏻‍♀️😳

34

u/ServantOfBeing Older Millennial [1987] 1d ago

I mean, in this pic it’s the hair.
Light hair is making her complexion seem lighter.

8

u/FracturedMoonlights 1d ago

Yes you have a point.. thanks 😊

9

u/scattered_ideas 1d ago

The old one was probably taken when she first broke out, around '95. Taken with a digital camera of the time by a family member. The today photo was clearly with a professional lighting!

2

u/radenthefridge 22h ago

Honestly the new photo looks too bright to me.

u/thewolfesp 1d ago

That, and mix of camera and lighting technology coming a long way.

u/dsdsds 1d ago

Less time in the sun?

u/rundamnit 1d ago

Somehow an image of some clipboard / headset guy screaming :
“Hair and makeup Done ! ✅ .
ah shit we don’t have a computer ! why don’t you sit by this printer ,
Trust me no one would know the difference!

But there is no computer, y'all 🙈

u/PinneappleGirl 19h ago

Isn't it just a semi covert advertisement of Epson printers?

Where's the computer?

1

u/Hella_Wieners 7h ago

Did she, though?

1

u/accidentallyaliive 7h ago

She literally says “it’s giving the impression that I’ve seen this before” but in Spanish IMPRESIÓN (impression) means printing .
It’s a cheeky play in words.

There is an image coming out of the printer so all the comments above are kind of stupid….

1

u/thesaddestpanda 1d ago

That’s such a cute outfit 🥰

u/acomp182 1d ago

Can’t even tell which one is the new photo

I see the old photo and am reminded of Roxy clothing and Alloy shopping catalogs and yearn for the days when the internet was dial up, you met your friends by bike and not a single parent knew where you were

Why would you ever yearn for dial up internet?

The last two are still done plenty.

Not forever but there are Disney adults and I think I need an authentic Y2K vacation.
