Word Document Uses All the Memory

In the 1990s, we put a copy of Word and every Word document we had ever written on a single 3.5” diskette. Word, Sweetie, what are you doing? This document has 150 words. Just 150. Force Quit Applications Your system has run out of application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Microsoft Word 17.25 GB Finder 185.1 MB Resume Force Quit ALT

The meme contrasts the tiny size of a 1990s floppy disk with a modern Microsoft Word document that consumes 17.25 GB of memory despite containing only 150 words. The joke mocks Word’s absurd bloat and memory usage, making it useful as a reaction to inefficient software or an inexplicably oversized file.
