Paused Video Buffering Nostalgia

Text on the meme

I miss the days when, no matter how slow your internet was, if you paused any video and let it buffer long enough, you could watch it uninterrupted *pause*

A stick figure pauses a video and waits for it to buffer, but the buffering progress barely moves and the figure becomes increasingly frustrated. The joke is nostalgic commentary on the days of slow internet, when pausing a video was supposed to let it load fully for uninterrupted playback.
