Shakira On the Computer

Shakira On the Computer—also the Shakira Computer Meme or Shakira Typing meme—uses a 1997 photograph by Óscar Berrocal of Colombian singer Shakira at an El Heraldo newsroom desk, smiling at the camera while appearing to type on a powered-off machine. Spanish-language image macros spread in January 2018; English Reddit variants like "Me canceling my plans to stay home and play The Sims" followed days later.

The format stayed evergreen through Tumblr and Twitter until August 4, 2026, when Shakira recreated the pose on Instagram—printing a dog photo instead of typing—garnering 950,000+ likes. Pop Base's side-by-side post cleared 4.5 million views the same day, and /r/popculturechat threads revived caption snowclones about procrastination and "locked in" irony. Know Your Meme filed a submission in August 2026 with 1,200+ votes.
