Sorry for the bad quality.

My grandfather had this in his office. He worked as a computer engineer so I initally thought it was a zoomed-in picture of a computer chip or something, but maybe it is something large.

He's not alive anymore so I can't ask him. If somebody can help me out, that would be great.

Never mind what the picture is…why is it sitting on a large bed of ramen?

Can we not turn this community into a place where everyone comes to make some shitty joke?

I'd say up to 50% shitty jokes is okay

Is there a midpoint between getting banned for making a joke and keeping things somewhat to the point? It does look like a bed of ramen. Now I want ramen..
