Oblivion Loading Screen Explains How to Shut Down AI Datacenters
Description
A parody of a loading screen from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, rendered in the game's signature parchment-and-ornate-border style with sepia tones and decorative chain motifs. The illustration shows a glowing Sigil Stone hovering above a fiery pedestal inside an Oblivion Gate tower, flanked by curved spikes and heavy chains. The caption text, in Oblivion's loading-tip font, reads: 'Pulling CPUs and RAM sticks out of AI datacenters will force them to close in the same way that removing a Sigil Stone does to an Oblivion Gate.' Below the framed image is the classic red loading progress bar and the word 'Loading...'. The meme maps the game's lore mechanic (removing the Sigil Stone collapses the demonic portal) onto Luddite-flavored humor about physically decommissioning AI infrastructure, satirizing both AI datacenter buildout anxiety and the game's famously deadpan loading tips

Decommissioning a datacenter by yanking RAM is technically valid - it's just a hard delete with no transaction log, and Kyne help whoever's on call when the Daedra fail over to us-east-1
The cloud abstraction ends exactly where someone pops the DIMM latches.
