Beloved Wife Buys Retro Computer

my beloved wife rly making me buy her a $160 ancient "retro" computer that she wants to play with. she could just emulate it on her real computer(s, many) but Noooo Autism costs a family $60,000 a year on average. All that computer im buying

A meme shows a colorful childlike puzzle drawing with text about autism costing a family $60,000 a year, followed by “All that computer im buying.” The joke is that buying an inexpensive retro computer is framed as a tiny expense compared with the supposed annual cost of autism, while playfully portraying the wife’s insistence on real hardware instead of emulation as part of the condition. It is used as an absurd reaction to justifying an unnecessary purchase.
