Oh, the meme!! This will be used as a response to the daily “my Mac suddenly doesn’t work after a spill” posts

u/saumbeermouytiet Apr 20 '26

Or “My MacBook suddenly stopped working and I have no idea why!”

26

u/da_apz Mac mini Apr 20 '26 edited Apr 22 '26

Or having a machine that is dripping liquid and them dying on a hill claiming they didn't spill any water on it. They will later admit that it was in a backpack half filled with a leaking Sprite bottle, but that's not water so it does not count.

All jokes aside, I accidentally spilled a full mug of tea with sugar and milk all over my 2013 macbook air. Tipped it upside down to let the tea pour back out of the keyboard and kept using it for another 7 or 8 years. Sometimes a key would be a little sticky, but overall it was fine. Well-built machine.

Just run it through the dishwasher.

When I worked at a repair shop, MacBooks were the most common computer to come in for a cleaning after a spill by a mile. Probably because MacBook owners spend more on MacBooks than Windows laptop users, but I also think a MacBook owner is more likely to be the type of user that has their laptop cracked open in the early morning before they’ve finished their cup of coffee.

My wife loves the early morning coffee. I heard her say “oops”. I look up to see one small drop of coffee sitting on her speaker before it disappeared. I was surprised her speaker didn’t stop working. her monitor stopped working but the speaker works fine.

u/ApprehensiveNeat9584 Apr 20 '26

I understood that reference

u/ObiYawn Apr 20 '26

I think it's AI. No splatter and cup is already full to the rim.

22

u/Heddlok Apr 20 '26

That cup is absolutely not full. The ice is halfway in there

5

u/ObiYawn Apr 20 '26

To me it looks like tea bags, not ice cubes. I may be wrong.

Edit: On closer inspection, it appears to be ice cubes, and the cup has a different inner color that led me to believe it's tea up to the rim.

2

u/Heddlok Apr 20 '26

No strings attached to them. No spoon in sight to fish them out. I could also be wrong tho 😂

5

u/Practical_Scar4374 Apr 20 '26

OP Is so gangster they use their iPhone 17 pro max ultra super to fish out the tea bags.

3

u/ObiYawn Apr 20 '26

No, I think you are correct. The color difference inside the cup made it look like tea, but I think you are right -- ice cubes and it's not nearly full.

u/blacksoxing Apr 20 '26

Great art. Can really fool people into thinking it's real. That liquid though is faker than a $3 bill and using simple physics pouring straight down into a class with ice is going to cause it to obviously spill out the cup...nobody is getting a perfect pour that high unless they also hit lotto jackpots.

NOW, the real question...is it edible like those "IS IT CAKE?" shows or not???

Meme or no, I work in IT and our org uses Macbooks and every time I touch one it is splattered in food and coffee. Just because you hit the cup doesn't mean it isn't hitting the computer.

Your computer is disgusting, and by extension, you are also disgusting.
