This is a 3-part comparative relatable meme. The first section is headed with the text 'Born to late to see:' and features stock renderings of a Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus Rex in jungle environments, referring to extinct dinosaurs that modern humans never had the chance to observe alive. The second section has the header 'Born to early to see:' next to images of futuristic flying cars, referring to advanced technology that is not yet widely accessible to people living in the current era. The final section is headed 'Born just in time to see:' and shows a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet full of #REF! formula errors, plus a Windows popup notifying the user that 'Microsoft Excel has stopped working'. The joke uses self-deprecating humor to lament that the current generation misses out on exciting phenomena from the distant past and future, and only gets to experience the minor, annoying frustrations of modern office and tech life.

This meme uses the classic Socially Awesome Awkward Penguin format, split vertically with a red upper section and blue lower section with a penguin split across both halves. The top red section has text reading "RUNS A MARATHON UNDER TWO HOURS", referencing elite runner Yomif Kejelcha achieving the extremely rare, historic milestone of completing a marathon in under two hours. The bottom blue section has text reading "FINISHES 2ND BY 10 SECONDS NO ONE NOTICES", referring to Kejelcha placing second by only a 10-second margin, leading to his historic sub-two hour performance being heavily overshadowed by the first place finisher. The meme highlights the common unfairness of only recognizing competition winners even when non-winning competitors achieve equally impressive, historic feats.

This meme uses dark fantasy action artwork depicting a tiny human warrior charging to attack a towering, screaming, monstrous knight standing in an apocalyptic battlefield. The towering giant knight is labeled 'THE TOXICITY OF THE AVERAGE FANBASE', while the small attacking warrior is labeled 'THE TOXICITY OF THE POKEMON FANBASE'. The joke satirizes the unusually high levels of toxicity, infighting, and aggressive discourse present in the Pokemon fan community, which is counter-intuitive given the Pokemon franchise is targeted at all ages including young children.

This is a sarcastic sports meme presented as a two-panel comparison. The top of the meme asks viewers which impressive streak is more notable: NBA star LeBron James' record of scoring 10+ points in 1,297 consecutive regular season games, displayed alongside a photo of James in his Los Angeles Lakers uniform, or professional wrestler The Undertaker's legendary 21-1 undefeated streak at WWE's WrestleMania events, shown alongside a photo of Undertaker at the Superdome with the 21-1 score visible behind him. The punchline is a tweet from Barstool Sports personality Eric Nathan (@BarstoolNate) below the comparison, which sarcastically jokes that it is ridiculous to compare 'scripted entertainment' (referring to LeBron's real, unscripted basketball achievement) to The Undertaker's wrestling streak, playing on the common perception that professional wrestling is scripted by flipping the expectation for comedic trolling effect.

This is a discriminatory, homophobic meme that spreads hate against the LGBTQ+ community. It features a stock photograph of an angry uniformed police officer holding his hand forward in a 'stop' gesture at the center. The top text reads 'PRIDE MONTH IS OVER', with 'PRIDE MONTH' styled in rainbow colors associated with the LGBTQ+ pride movement. Multiple commonly recognized LGBTQ+ symbols, including the rainbow pride arc, trans/nonbinary gender symbol, rainbow peace sign, pride-themed progress ribbon, and gay male couple symbol, are crossed out with bold red X marks surrounding the police officer. Large red text at the bottom reads 'STOP BEING GAY'.

This image is a vertical composite of two photographs of restroom door signs. The upper sign marks the men's restroom: the torso section of the standard male restroom pictogram is replaced by a capital letter 'M', paired with the standard straight leg design for male figures. The lower sign marks the women's restroom: the torso section of the standard female restroom pictogram is replaced by a capital letter 'W', paired with a triangular skirt design for female figures. The design uses the common 'M' (Men) and 'W' (Women) restroom abbreviations as an integrated part of the pictogram, creating a clever, intuitive visual pun.

The image displays a vintage brass compass placed on top of a printed geographic map, with bold white text with black outlines overlaid at the top and bottom of the frame. The top text reads 'THEY DEADASS NAMED THIS THING' and the bottom text reads 'A CUM PISS'. The core joke is a lowbrow, lewd phonetic pun that intentionally mispronounces the English word 'compass' to sound like the vulgar phrase 'cum piss' for shock comedic effect. The slang term 'deadass' is used here to mean 'seriously' to lean into the absurd, sarcastic premise of the meme.

This is an ironic relatable meme. The top of the image features black text reading 'How I feel when YouTube shows me ads for accounting services and business loans (I am unemployed)'. Below the text is a widely used stock photograph of a confident smiling man in a grey business suit sitting at a modern office desk, holding a corded landline phone to his ear while using a desktop computer, appearing as a successful professional business owner. The humor comes from the stark contrast between YouTube's algorithm incorrectly targeting an unemployed user with ads meant for established business owners, and the user playfully leaning into the absurdly mismatched impression the algorithm has of them by using the successful businessman photo to represent their feelings in this scenario.

This image features a close-up portrait of former military commander and public figure Igor Girkin (also known as Igor Strelkov), paired with an attributed quote from him. Girkin is shown wearing a suit, collared shirt and tie, with a serious, grim, resigned expression as he looks slightly off-camera, matching the pessimistic tone of his quoted statement about heading toward military defeat.

This meme uses a historic black and white photograph of Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin both wearing formal tuxedos standing side by side. The top text introduces the context as the occasion when the two famous figures met. Below the photo, a popular alleged conversation between them is presented: Einstein praises Chaplin's silent film art for its universality, noting that he does not need to speak for the whole world to understand his work. Chaplin responds with a lighthearted quip that Einstein's fame is even more impressive, as the entire world admires him even though almost no one understands his theoretical physics work. It is a wholesome, gentle joke playing on the public perception of both men's careers.

This is a 4-panel collage wholesome meme that plays on the visual similarity between the rounded shape of sitting cats and soda bottles. Each cat's fur color is matched to a corresponding soda brand's packaging: white cats are paired with green Sprite labels, black cats with red Coca-Cola labels, and orange tabby cats with orange Fanta or Royal soda labels. The top of the meme has text that reads 'SODA CATS ARE TAKING OVER THE INTERNET AND'. The final panel shows an unamused orange tabby lying back with a Royal soda label around its torso and a soda bottle cap balanced on its head, adding an extra humorous punchline to the trend.

This is a comparison meme that humorously contrasts how humans and squirrels carry items. The top text states that humans invent different types and sizes of bags to hold different items they need to transport. The lower portion of the meme features an edited still of the character Homelander from the TV series *The Boys*, with his cheeks digitally exaggerated to be extremely puffed out, mimicking the appearance of a squirrel that has stuffed its cheek pouches full of food. The joke highlights that squirrels have a simple, built-in evolutionary solution for carrying items that makes human reliance on different bags seem unnecessarily complicated.
