This is a popular meme template about finding y in a x factory, the original being about a cricle in a triangle factory.
The joke here is that computers usually render all 3D shapes from a bunch of triangle, so of course the sphere (which I guess only looks like a circle) is ~~of course~~ made of triangle because everything is.
TIL, thank you! That explains older graphics, like Laura Croft and their edgy-polygon shapes
