What it means

A four-panel expanding-brain meme compares Gmail, Slack, Discord, and finally a Linux terminal command broadcasting a message. The joke is that each successive communication platform is portrayed as increasingly intelligent and powerful, with the absurd terminal broadcast as the ultimate form of enlightenment. It is used as a reaction to escalating technical sophistication or overcomplicating simple communication.
