This is a screenshot of a joke tweet shared as a meme for Tax Day. The tweet is written from the perspective of a person living during World War 1, saying they cannot wait for the war to end so the temporary income tax introduced to fund the war can be removed. The humor comes from the well-known historical fact that income tax, originally introduced as a temporary wartime measure after WW1, still exists over a century later, making the anticipation of its removal funny and ironic to modern audiences.

This is a 4-panel comparison comic meme. First, the anthropomorphized yellow 2026 sun character brags that it is 'just great' with better technology, streaming services and more convenience. Next, the anthropomorphized blue 2016 moon character retorts that 2016 had the popular short-form video platform Vine, and TikTok did not exist at that time. An unnamed everyman cartoon character then points at the 2016 character to show agreement, leaving the 2026 character looking embarrassed and defeated. The joke plays on widespread internet nostalgia for the 2016 social media landscape, as many users preferred Vine over the now-ubiquitous TikTok.

This image is a screenshot of two consecutive X (formerly Twitter) posts. The first post is from user hannah (@flawlin), who asks if people can start a support group for procrastinators. The second post is a reply from user anderson (@xvkinggg), who responds only with the word 'Tomorrow'. The humor comes from the perfect irony of the reply: procrastinators habitually put off all tasks, so even forming a support group to address their procrastination is something they would delay until a later date, making the joke extremely relatable to people who struggle with procrastination.
