I just learned the existence (and difference between) alphasyllabaries, abjad and abugida, and now I want to use this but I have no idea how, so I'll share it here.
If you're reading this you know how alphabets work:

You probably know how syllabaries work too (each sign being a syllable, like japanese kana):
> [ba][to][ma][no]
Now, an alphasyllabary is basically an alphabet where vowels are diacritics, ie small modifications (accents, dots, …) to the consonants:
> bªtmªn

I'm not sure what you can do with this info, but I personnaly find it fascinating.
Anyway, after reading multiple Wikipedia articles, I finally stole the explications and examples from this excellent reddit thread about this meme you'll now be able to understand (if you were'nt already), and pedantically invalidate:
