    I am yet to understand what “nobody” adds to a meme. Still don’t get it.

      The way I understand it, it’s a play on “Nobody asked” using Colon denoted dialogue

      Nobody: [insert question]

      [subject of meme]: [answer to question]

      And has become increasingly esoteric through extended use

      The original meme got mangled beyond recognition and into making no sense

      The original was used as quote attribution

      Like:

      “I am a huge fan of EA”

      – nobody

        To continue this logic, if “nobody” says nothing it could be construed as the start of the conversation, implying the subject came to the conclusion without prompting or context

      When used properly it makes sense. But there are only rare occasions when that is appropriate. So instead everyone just uses it all the time and so no one really understands when it should be used. Dumb.

    Laptop is a misnomer, especially gaming ones, because they get too hot to be in your lap. Workstations, notebooks, Ultrabooks, etc, all different classifications.

    Upside, if you do use it on your lap, it doubles as birth control. (Joke, please do not do this).

      they’re just the modern version of those old portable desktops, just with a battery so you don’t fly into a gamer rage when someone trips over the power cable.
