About the streetlight meme template
One streetlight, two very different guys. On the left, an old-school gentleman in a hat losing himself in a paperback. On the right, a hoodie-wearing dude locked onto his phone screen like it holds the secrets of the universe. Same cone of light, two completely different centuries of attention span.
This one is built for any "old ways vs new ways" setup — books vs screens, patience vs scrolling, wisdom vs doomscrolling. Drop your own labels on each guy and let the contrast do the joke for you.
