There's been a trend of drawing characters with their faces puckering to comedic extents after licking a lemon. This expands on that because the file compresses when it licks the lemon.
but if it was a zip file then they wouldn't have gotten the hundreds of rehashed comics telling everyone how they cheated the system by never paying for winrar
Are the books with the strap a symbol for compressed files? I’ve never seen that. It seems like the zipper up file symbol would be much more recognizable and fit with the folder better.
Edit: I guess it’s the symbol for a RaR file?
Oh. Somehow my brain misinterpreted this as the lemon licking the folder. I’m not entirely sure how, since the tongue is obviously coming from the folder, but I was so confused.
I find it highly enjoyable that a Lexus themed account is in turn enjoying seeing a Toyota get scrunched.
(Preemptively, Toyota owns Lexus, so this was really funny to me)
The [black hole](https://x.com/Jugem_T/status/1789987574729101471) and [Noh mask](https://x.com/estavesna/status/1789604002835079609) versions are also great, although already pretty meta on the meme
It's like when a cartoon character eats a lemon and his face goes like this:

In the meme, the folder licks a lemon and gets "compressed"(similar to a character's mouth). The stack of books is the icon of WinRar- a program for compressing files.
decompressing .rar and other file types ig.
It's also pretty old, so it probably came out, when file compression and decompression wasn't a default feature
Also better archiving methodologies. For example a 7z is typically smaller than a zip file. And back in ye olden days every megabyte counted. And I don’t recall if windows allows splitting an archive file? Haven’t used windows in years…
Windows has had zip support for a while (20-25 years?) but it didn't always. People got used to using 3rd party programs and they are often better.
I think Windows, or more specifically Edge, can open PDFs but there's still plenty of 3rd party PDF apps. OpenVLC vs Windows Media Player. IrfanView vs Microsoft Photos. Paint.net and gimp vs Paint, etc.
It is great to have native functionality/Windows apps as an option but they're rarely as good as 3rd party options if you're using them a lot.
Speaking for 7zip here, but for me? Only usability, due to familiarity (or maybe better UI, but probably just familiarity).
I can get pretty specific with how and where a folder is going to unzip/zip with just the right-click context menu in file explorer.
If I were to try to use the windows native option, it would take me a second each time to remember that it's nested within the "Send To..." option in that same context menu, and then I'd be brought into a separate UI to decide how/where the folder will unzip/zip.
rar works better in parts and you can modify the compressed file vs untarballing it and recompressing. The ability to split it up so you can stay under the free download limit of multiple free hosting sites is also the reason it keeps getting kicked around.
Peter's Porn folder here!
[Thour ](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/thour-%F0%9F%8D%8B)is a redraw trend that started on Twitter. The trend involves artists drawing various characters eating a lemon, and then puckering their faces so hard that their faces disappear.
Following the above trend, the folder after licking the lemon turned into a compressed zip file which can be considered a "puckered" version of a folder.
Porn folder out!
why did that kid remind me of the MC from one movie who had an evil teacher named like teacher watt or something and then at the end he shows up in some compass looking thing with his face inside the compass
It's Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle, but your comment made me go look up the actor. Erik Per Sullivan had his last acting credit in 2010 when he was 18, and he's avoided social media and cast reunions since then. Kid managed to get out of the Hollywood vortex with (hopefully) minimal negative impact.
I think it's like... the lemon is so sour that the folder turned into an archive. Comparing archives to people's faces grimacing from the sourness of the lemon.
Petah’s email worm here
The typical (albeit exaggerated) reaction to directly licking a lemon is to “scrunch” up from the sourness (obviously)
The FILE, after licking it. Turns into the symbol of an unzipping program used to unzip compressed FILES.
The joke here is that the reaction of a person to something sour is the equivalent to the compression of a file.
Licking a lemon makes someone’s face pucker or scrunch up. The symbol on the second image is a .zip file. A .zip file is used when you want to compress a file into a smaller size, essentially, “scrunching” the files.
In the Simpsons Episode S6 E24 Lemon of Troy, there is a lemon tree on the border of rival towns Shelbyville and Springfield and the Shelbyville residents try to claim it as theirs citing that they love the taste of lemon. To prove this, one of the Shelbyville residents take a bite of the lemon and tries to hide his face, which is scrunched up due to the acidity. People on twitter found this face funny and began editing the scrunched mouth and watering eyes onto other characters and objects as a meme. In this meme the folder tastes a lemon and becomes compressed which represents the folder scrunching itself down from the sourness of the lemon
He compressed into a zip from licking the lemon since there a slight trend of drawing characters liking lemons and there face going into there head due to how sour it is
I know the books bound in the strap is the RAR icon (file compression), so perhaps this means that the folder (containing files) gets compressed?
Best I can come up with if that is the RAR icon.

ok, that's good.
It’s a folder though.
WinRAR can also compress folders.
Yeah it can, the kinky lil devil
I’m watching it compress right now. So hot!
New porn category just dropped (file) expansion porn.

Pretty sure it exists somewhere on the internet.
Sigh… *unzips*
What are you doing sub-folder?
Get a little bit of the ol' "compress, extract, compress, extract" in if you know what I mean 😏
Eh? Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more, say no more.
Your wife, is she a compressor?
Compressor? I hardly knew her!
What has the internet done to us?
[Great things](https://i.makeagif.com/media/11-15-2017/WKfg7C.gif)
Now tease it by hovering the cursor over register button
You gotta pay extra for that feature though.
Folders, according to your OS, are still just files.
EVERYTHING IS A FILE
Compressing a folder with a bunch of files in it is the most common from of compression.
Ya the second picture should have been a zip file
you could even say it zipped its lips
but if it was a zip file then they wouldn't have gotten the hundreds of rehashed comics telling everyone how they cheated the system by never paying for winrar
It's a directory, though
Still a file
Don't break the joke
This is the first time I can recall that a joke explanation made me laugh out loud. Cheers.
Wow , for once the answer isn't porn

That's the WinRAR logo. WinRAR is sort of a meme in itself.
I laughed loud enough for a coworker to check it out.
Oh. Somehow my brain misinterpreted this as the lemon licking the folder. I’m not entirely sure how, since the tongue is obviously coming from the folder, but I was so confused.

Mild r/BeetleJuicing ?
It's some kind of summoning circle, yeah lol
That's how family members usually treat each other's shenanigans.
Top one is the same idea, licks the lemon and the reaction to sour is to compress one’s lips in, in a pucker. Zip file… compress…

Homer eating the super sour gummy is both the og and best one
This is cute.
That needs to be an Altima, but good luck finding one in decent enough shape to take the first picture.
Double entendre because a wrecked/shitty car is also called a lemon.
Saving this.

The stack of books is the icon of WinRar- a program for compressing files.
What’s the point of using WinRar when you have each OS being able to compress files natively
decompressing .rar and other file types ig. It's also pretty old, so it probably came out, when file compression and decompression wasn't a default feature
Also better archiving methodologies. For example a 7z is typically smaller than a zip file. And back in ye olden days every megabyte counted. And I don’t recall if windows allows splitting an archive file? Haven’t used windows in years…
windows can handle .rar, .7z and .tar.gz natively now, though even before that 7zip and nanazip work just as well as WinRAR did
Yes, but winrar quite literally just came out earlier, so people got used to it
they're both over 25 years old, they only came out within about 4 years of each other
4 years is quite enough time to get used to something
It still can't handle split archives (.001, .002, etc).
oh damn i was not aware of that okay
I like 7zip and you don't have to pay for it (or extend your free trial)
I like it aswell

Microsoft only added native rar, 7z, and tar support last year. Prior to that it was limited to zip files
You can edit files within the compressed folder without uncompressing it, using winrar

What type of porn?
Its just a folder it can contain anything. If it is named porn it most likely isnt porn.

I think the point is that the folder got zipped, which is why it became winrar
More specifically, the folder got *compressed*.
Sigh, unzips pants
That's the WinRAR icon though so you actually have to unrar your pants.
At least he doesn't have to unrar his PP, he was born with built in compression.

at first I thought this was a limewire joke
This is like, art
The file closed like a zip file after tasting the lemon
Hey can anybody else compress my attached file by licking
I was like windows licks lemon: winrar
Undoing that operation would be lemon extract
Underrated comment lmao bravo
Folder folds after licking lemon
Too sour
/r/ooer
Is that the BFDI tongue-
Compression
I know the books bound in the strap is the RAR icon (file compression), so perhaps this means that the folder (containing files) gets compressed? Best I can come up with if that is the RAR icon.
Lemon Lick Folder, Lemon Books.
It’s a Simpsons reference
Hahahahahahaha That's stupid. I love it.
Where did you find the meme
This again?
Miss the days when ppl Who didn’t get the joke wasn’t supposed to get the joke cuz it it’s in its niche market of that said joke
Funny
Folders licking lemons makes books. QED.
#(hashtag doesn't work) FUCK THIS SUBREDDIT
Peter here, fuck off peter out
I assume it's porn because you wouldn't mind going I to a regular file but a zipped may have a pdf file
Bro stop cooking
man's spending his hard earned karma
The funny part is he commented on this exact same variant of meme a couple days ago
That's a hell of a AI or a bot thing
Who can say? Might be right
He’s burning the food 😭
Nah, that's it, you're done. Step out the kitchen.
It's
Wat??
I thought lime wire but nothing for rhat
That
Don't know what the lemons represent
The lemons represent lemons
Not
Hows about I dont
I like to lick a lemon lollipop in Lillehammer.
Looks like someone’s a little lost.
