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 :)
