Asking the Fan About Gambling

Text on the meme

Asking the highly intelligent fan if I should quit gambling

What it means

A small electric fan is covered with a blanket and slowly shifts from side to side like it is thoughtfully considering a question. The caption jokingly asks this “highly intelligent” fan whether the speaker should quit gambling, turning its aimless movement into an absurd decision-making response. Björk’s ethereal, dramatic song “Pagan Poetry” plays underneath, making the mundane fan’s motion feel comically profound and melodramatic.
