      Here’s my best shot at explaining. Unlike my grandma, you’ll know more about video game and internet culture already :)

      The character is Alyx from Half-Life 2. “Source Filmmaker” is an app that lets you pose and animate characters from Valve games and is frequently used for meme videos. It was likely used to pose Alyx’s face this way.

      Here is a picture of this meme that I saw before this one (I think it’s the original for the format).

      This was most a meme from a few years ago, around the time when air fryers were becoming more popular and squid game had recently released.

      The meme pokes fun at the “elitist” attitude many people with air fryers had, as they swore by using them for everything. A key trait is the smirk expression the person in the picture has.

          I thought airfryer was supposed to be alternative to pan, oven or a fryer, not to microwave

              It’s a tiny convection oven. My wife wants one. Despite us having a convection oven. This has caused arguments

                It’s really like comparing a heated swimming pool with a circulating filter to a hot tub.

                The much more aggressive air flow in the very small vessel means the air is in almost constant contact with the heating element, things end up coming out much crispier in my experience. It’s also easier to shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to help things crisp up vs the whole oven cooling while you go in and flip items over.

                It also heats up to 400° in just a few minutes so you don’t need to use massive amounts of energy and warm up your whole kitchen just to make a serving of fish fingers.

                  It’s essentially a small convection oven on steroids. You can also get oven style airfryer with trays, rotating baskets and rotisserie spits.

                    rotating basket is the next one i intend to buy, the interruption in heat is noticeable in the final results
