*high pitched periodic beep*

I congratulate those of you who don’t know why this is funny — or perhaps you find it amusing, but you’re unsure why — because it’s a sign that you likely haven’t succumbed to the ubiquitousness of the internet.

And if you happen to be curious, it’s an AI-generated meme (one of many) that pokes some lighthearted fun at the black community’s supposed proclivity for ignoring a smoke detector beep, which indicates the battery needs replacing.

Not surprisingly, most in the community have taken the joke in stride.
