File formats Memes

Programming nerds are cackling right now! On the left, we have carbon (C) in its raw, uncompressed form - literally just a lump of coal. On the right? The same element but compressed into a diamond (C.zip)! It's the ultimate file compression joke that works on multiple levels. In nature, carbon transforms into diamond under extreme pressure - just like how .zip files compress data under algorithmic pressure. Both processes take something bulky and transform it into something more valuable and compact. Next time someone sends you a compressed file, just remember: even carbon got its glow-up through compression.
