This is a meme that refers to the year 2038 problem. It has the text "What if we kissed" at the top. The meme shows a Perl script that performs date calculations. However, when the year reaches 2038, a bug in the 32-bit signed integer time_t causes the date to reset back to 1901. The text at the bottom reads "At Unix time reset".

Oh boy here we go again with 32 bit signed int time_t problem. This is a real problem. Unix is embedded in lots of stuff that doesn't update. We will have real issues with those systems
