Mouse hacks are life hacks

A three-panel reaction meme. The top panel shows a woman smiling broadly, seemingly pleased. The middle panel features white text on a dark background that reads "WHEN YOU'RE PLEASED WITH A MOUSE LIFE HACK," suggesting the woman's reaction is to a helpful computer mouse tip. The bottom panel shows a man with glasses and a beard looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression, perhaps representing someone witnessing the reaction to the "life hack." In the background of the middle panel, a blurred image of a computer screen with some menu options and text is visible, hinting at the context of the mouse-related tip. A yellow pointing hand cursor is also visible on the blurred screen.
