But a byte is 8 bits, not the other way around
What do you mean? The meme has 8 hobbits which make a hobbyte
I interpreted it as showing that 8 hobbytes were equivalent to a hobbit. I didn't see that it could be interpreted as saying each little frodo picture under the hobbyte was a hobbit until your comment.
It almost confused me at first as well. You are not alone. :)
I see your confusion. Hope I cleared it up a bit :)
I kind of get it. A byte is 8 bits but if you think of it as it's 8 times larger than a bit...
