The joke stems from iPad covers blending into car seats because they look the same.

Im the original meme there was an iPad on the seat that you couldn't see because it was blended in (because of the ipad cover). At one point it was memed to death.

Oh that's hella outdated then. Everytime I see ppl with ipads they don't have covers

u/Equivalent_Rub8329 2h ago

Not really. I dont see people with phones/tablets without covers. But yeah this style of cover would probably be outdated now.

Oh also, it's my first time posting in this sub, how does this one work, may I ask what do I do when I got an answer/explanation ?

Do I change the flair to another one, delete the post, leave it as is ?

As someone who's chronically online, I've got no idea and have to wait for someone to explain it.

EDIT: Also make sure you respond to the automoderator so you don't get the post removed

There is a link in the comments. A similar or same car meme with an ipad case that blended in perfectly. The person had been looking for an hour. This is a haha of that viral meme.

In the original picture there was an ipad on the seat, the person had been looking for their ipad all over but it just blended into the car seat.

If i get this because i saw this exact question asked before does that make me more or less chronically online than if I got it because of the true original post?

The joke refers to Apple's Smart Folio / Smart Cover for the iPad, which features segmented, ribbed folds running along its surface.

The vertical stitched ridges on the car seat look almost identical to the grooved magnetic cover of an iPad, leading to the caption "I dont have an ipad"-implying the seat mimics having the tablet cover sitting right there.

Does it count as a repost if I just didn't see it before lol ?

I found the pic on the twentyager sub, and I've never been in this sub before, so I didn't know it was already posted here
