This animated meme uses the scene of Thanos powering up the Infinity Gauntlet from *Avengers: Infinity War* to joke about the common experience of 'panic productivity' that activates after a long period of procrastination. As Thanos gradually builds up glowing energy in his gauntlet, growing more intense throughout the animation, it visualizes the sudden super-powered burst of productivity people get when they have procrastinated so long that deadline panic unlocks an extreme 'god mode' work mode to get all their tasks done quickly.

A meme consisting of two parts: top text and an image. The top text reads: 'Someone: Whatever happens, happens. *Whatever happens. That someone:'. Below this text is a close-up image of Thanos, a purple-skinned character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, wearing armor with a shocked expression. At the bottom of the image is the word 'Impossible'. The humor arises from the contrast between the initial dismissive phrase 'Whatever happens, happens' (indicating nonchalance) and Thanos's shocked reaction labeled 'Impossible', implying the person's confidence is shattered when an unexpected event occurs.

The meme consists of two comic panels featuring Batman, paired with a top text overlay. The top text reads: 'When you're having a lucid dream that's 1000x better than your life but your mind tells you it's a dream:'. The left panel shows Batman reaching out to ghostly, glowing figures with a speech bubble saying 'NO, NO, STAY WITH ME!', his expression desperate. The right panel is a close-up of Batman's face, tears streaming down, with the speech bubble 'DON'T LEAVE ME!!'. The humor arises from using Batman's emotionally charged, desperate reaction (likely from a scene where he loses a loved one) to metaphorically represent the frustration of waking from an exceptionally good lucid dream.

This meme consists of two main parts: a top text overlay and a screenshot from a Marvel Cinematic Universe film. The top text reads, 'how it feels when u are arguing with someone but they actually take accountability instead of justifying:'. Below this text is a screenshot of Thanos, the iconic villain from the Avengers series, standing in a dark, rainy environment with a shocked and disbelieving expression. Superimposed on the screenshot is the word 'Impossible.' in yellow text. The humor arises from the contrast between the rarity of someone taking accountability during an argument (framed as an extraordinary event) and Thanos's famous reaction of disbelief, implying that such accountability is as unlikely as an impossible scenario in the context of the movies.
