A two-panel comic. The top panel depicts a simple stick-figure character bending forward with a disgusted expression, looking down at their shoe. Above the character is the text: 'Ew, I stepped in shit.' The bottom panel shows a close-up of the character's shoe sole, which features a search bar interface with the text 'Find anything' and an orange duck icon resembling the DuckDuckGo logo. The humor arises from the sarcastic contrast between the character's unpleasant experience of stepping in something undesirable and the shoe's search bar suggesting it can 'find anything,' including the unpleasant substance.

This is a two-panel meme that uses the iconic real viral footage of an oncoming train colliding with a school bus stuck on railroad tracks to joke about common annoying mobile app behavior. In the top panel, the school bus (representing a mobile app) has overlaid text reading 'Please enable notifications to continue using this ap-', cutting off to show the mandatory prompt interrupting app use. In the bottom panel, the oncoming train (representing the user's reaction) is labeled 'Uninstall', shown hitting and destroying the bus to illustrate the user immediately uninstalling the app rather than granting unwanted notification permissions. The joke captures widespread frustration with aggressive, non-negotiable notification prompts from apps.

This is a 4-panel meme that repurposes scenes from Disney's 2000 animated film *The Emperor's New Groove* to joke about the behavior of people using dating apps. The top lead-in text reads 'People on dating apps be like:'. The first panel shows the character Kuzco preparing to review a line of potential suitors, with the subtitle 'Alrighty! Let's trot out the ladies! Let's take a look-see.'. The second panel depicts Kuzco judging each woman in the line harshly, dismissing almost all of them with superficial criticisms: 'Hate your hair, not likely, yikes, yikes, yikes...'. The third panel shows Kuzco speaking dismissively to the only remaining candidate, saying 'And let me guess, you have a great personality.'. The final panel shows Kuzco complaining to an attendant about the quality of candidates, asking 'Is this really the best you can do?'. The meme satirizes how many dating app users are excessively picky, rejecting most matches immediately for trivial superficial reasons and dismissing non-physical positive traits like personality as an insufficient consolation prize.

A two-panel black-and-white comic strip. The top panel depicts a simple animated person with short hair, wearing a dark shirt and light pants, bending down with a disgusted expression. They exclaim, 'Ew, I stepped in shit.'

The meme features a photograph of a person lying relaxed on a brick wall, smoking a cigarette, with a large crowd of people in an open field in the background. Overlaid text at the top reads 'Everyone hating on the new Reddit icon' alongside the new Reddit logo (an orange and white smiling icon with the text 'Reddit' below it). At the bottom, text reads 'Me who hasn't updated the app in ages'. The contrast between the chaotic crowd (representing people reacting negatively to the new icon) and the relaxed individual (unaffected because they haven't updated) creates a humorous commentary on app update indifference.
