Text on the meme
no one: guys getting paid 3x your salary: I never get why area is length times width. Times here means multiplication. If you take a length of 3cm and multiply it by width of 2 cm, you are adding 3cm twice, which gets you 6cm. why is that the ‘area’. Actually, what does area even mean? Of course I understand that you have to multiply the units too, so it's actually 6cm squared. But cm squared as a concept is even more baffling. Someone explain to me like I am five the idea of area and why it's length times width.
What it means

The meme contrasts people earning three times your salary with a supposedly sophisticated but confused question about why the area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width. The joke is that higher income is humorously associated with overthinking basic school mathematics and misunderstanding multiplication and square units.
