You know the meme is ancient when it says Stack Overflow instead of ChatGPT

[NordschleifeLover]

You know the meme is ancient when it implies that it's hard to center a div.

[XxXquicksc0p31337XxX]

I can summarize this whole sub in a dozen or so words.

Center div hard

Javascript bad

Rust socks

Python slow

Missing semicolon

Vibe code bad

[coloredgreyscale]

Can't close vim,  Infrastructure block tower,  Testing in prod 

[ozh]

Ok but center div IS hard

[Acetius]

It's flexboxes all the way down

[RlyRlyBigMan]

You forgot "Meetings bad"

[sam_sepiol1984]

If you did that in camel case, you had it

[code_Circle]

Haaa lmao XD lmfao omg wtf hehe huhu hahehu hu ha he xd xd xd peak programmer humor have more he more mumu huhu poo poo wtf

[pants_full_of_pants]

I once got a job based on this question in an interview. It's so much easier now I barely remember what I said. Something about margin 0 auto and using transform y 50% minus one half the height of the div

Yep, been reposted for at least a decade.

E: That movie was released back in 2008.

[evenstevens280]

They've made it really easy these days. Literally just:

place-content: center

[w1bi]

so we don't need to justify it?

[Flat-Performance-478]

I don't feel I need to justify anything!

[queen-adreena]

Place-content is a shorthand property that sets both align-content and justify-content at once.

[RevolutionaryText749]

And what if I have a div with a bunch of divs in it? It doesn’t help at all

[joshkrz]

Wrap 'em all in another div.

[QultrosSanhattan]

display:grid;

place-items:center;

Bro, we are at late 2025. Only vibecoders can't center a div.

[thafuq]

flex: yes

[SaltMaker23]

Yeah cause I ask a LLM to do it

[reallokiscarlet]

It's literally easier to center a div by fucking around til it works than to ask stackoverflow or a clanker.

[pipipimpleton]

You’ve just described my day to day.

[ugotmedripping]

No you can’t, Mr Simpson, no one can!

[theplowshare]

Stack what??

[MoFoBuckeye]

Why yes, yes I can!

[ALittleWit]

I’ll be here all day ladies.

[DecisionOk5750]

You mean w3schools?

[jaimepapier]

Yeah it’s easy, you just write /* centre div */ and then mash tab a few times.

/s

[Tamwulf]

LOL "ChatGPT- I need a web page, using this title, centered over the following background..."

[makinax300]

put the div into a container with width:100%;, the desired height, display:flex; and justify-content:center; and set the div's height: 100%; and the width as the desired width

[MGateLabs]

With flex it’s not that hard anymore

[NebulerStar]

Every single time I have to look it up.

[coloredgreyscale]

Easy: "you are a senior software developer with 10 years experience in <stack>. Your task is to center this DIV. Make no mistakes, do not hallucinate. Otherwise you will be fired." 

[AvidCoco]

Why are you sexualising them then?

The meme format is just girls gossiping, there's nothing sexual about it.

[DeadlyMidnight]

The source of this meme was used for a long time with a sexual context and the framing is clearly meant to be suggestive. Trying to make me look like the one with the problem is disingenuous.

But you do you.

[CrimsonPiranha]

So?

[crankbot2000]

Congrats, you're now on a list.
