Image: Rabbi Ali/ The winner, Bangladesh designer and web developer Rabbi Ali, put Harry Potter characters in The Walking Dead, imagining them as victims of a zombie apocalypse.

It's MUCH better being a woman So I did an experiment, I work in CS and decided to test what the gender bias is. So I took my CV and changed the name to a female name. I'd send it out with my real name, then a few days later (or few days before) with a female name. Out of 100, my applications with a male name got 7 responses for interview. Out of 100, my applications with a female name got 45 responses to interview The female resume was 650% more likely to get a callback. So then I thought "what about someone looking for working class jobs?" So I decided to focus on restaurants- servers, hosting, etc. Made a fake resume, and responded to craigslist ads with both male and female names. Sometimes the male went first, sometimes the female went first. Out of 100, my applications with a male name got 10 responses to interview Out of 100, my applications with a female name got 87 responses to interview The female resume got 870% more responses.If you’ve spent some time on the Internet, you’ve probably come across the PS1 Hagrid meme. The sad face has been used in many memes and scathing reactions, and it’s actually a lot older than you might think. Related: What is the origin of the Press F to Pay Respects meme? PS1 Hagrid Meme, Explained Here’s where the meme comes from and some of the best jokes featuring ol’ Hagrid. This particular model of Hagrid comes from the PlayStation 1 game Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. During the adventure, you’ll do some searching for Hogrid, the Hogwarts groundkeeper. There are no great looking face maps in The Sorcerer’s Stone on PS1, but for whatever reason, Hagrid looks extra sad. Actor Robbie Coltrane brought a sweet, fatherly aura to the character, which is what made her bond with Harry so believable. Their resemblance to the game just seems faint. The image above is good ol’ Hagrid’s first known meme, but its creator is unknown. ![]() Yes, indeed – this image first appeared on a stage in 2012. The intentional misspelling of “hagord” is consistent with modern meme styles, and the rest of the line plays up the character’s heavy accent. This is the first image we have to thank you for starting the trend, but it didn’t take off right away. ![]() YouTuber Benzaie put his own spin on the joke with a Photoshop. During the Let’s Play series, he commented on the model’s resemblance to a blobfish. The meme was starting to get more attention, but it hadn’t hit the mainstream. It wasn’t until 2016 that the PS1 Hagrid really began to be celebrated. Twitter user (whose account is now private) also picked up on the sadness on the character’s face and commented on it. Since this tweet (and others like it around the same time), PS1 Hagrid has opened up to a flood of jokes, tributes, and all-round praise. To start our pick of the best, we’re going back to Twitter. YouTuber Shared the glow-up of everyone’s favorite groundskeeper. If only raytracing could improve everyone’s facial features like this. ![]() Twitter meme staple He also gave Hagrid a facelift, using a dazzling image of Alpha Omegasin. ‘Yassifying’ faces (giving them a complete makeover with lipstick, eyeliner, and other bits of makeup) is fun enough, but to see the stark contrast of clean-shaven, ready-up Hagrid is something else.
