The top text reads 'Earth completes one revolution around the Sun,' and the middle text reads 'Stup!d Rent-paying mammals :' with a typo in 'Stupid.' Below the text is a scene of a large, cheering crowd in a stadium-like setting with a waterfall, focusing on a Wakandan warrior in green and red attire raising his arms in celebration.

Overview

The meme features two lines of text above a screenshot from the Marvel film 'Black Panther.'

Origin notes

This meme is a remix created by overlaying user-generated text onto a screenshot from the 2018 film 'Black Panther,' specifically a scene depicting the Wakandan crowd during a ceremonial event. It was originally shared on Reddit in the Meme community, combining existing movie footage with sarcastic text to comment on the contrast between cosmic events and everyday human worries like rent.

A meme combining a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) on X.com discussing fusion reactors, where he argues that the Sun is a superior free fusion reactor and criticizes Earth-based reactors as 'puny little reactors' and 'pet science projects.' The tweet is followed by two frames from a movie: the first shows an older man stating, 'Well, the sun's quite a bit further away than the reactors,' and the second shows a younger boy responding defiantly, 'I don't care how far away it is!' The meme humorously contrasts Musk's dismissive stance with a logical counterpoint (distance of the Sun) and a childish refusal to acknowledge it, implying Musk's argument ignores practicality.

The meme is divided into two sections. The top section displays an image of solar panels with overlaid text reading: 'US town rejects solar farm amid worries it would "suck up all the energy from the Sun"', mimicking a news headline. The bottom section features a large, heavily distorted yellow face with exaggerated facial features—wide, glassy eyes, raised eyebrows, and an agape mouth—labeled 'NASA scientists:' to visually represent shock, disbelief, or amusement at the town's scientifically unfounded concern about solar energy.

The meme consists of a top text block in white font on a black background that reads: 'Flat-Earthers watching as all their theories come true except for the flat-Earth theory:'. Below the text is an image featuring an animated gray character with a long, pointed nose peeking through horizontal window bars. Behind the bars, there is a photograph of several formally dressed individuals (men and women) standing closely together, appearing to converse or pose. The animated character's posture suggests curiosity or surveillance, creating a humorous contrast between the satirical text about flat-earthers and the real-world scene they are 'watching'.

The meme is divided into two sections. The top section features bold text reading 'Betelgeuse exists: Astronomers:' accompanied by an image of the red supergiant star Betelgeuse, depicted as a bright orange sphere. The lower section is a screenshot from the animated film 'Despicable Me' (2010), showing the character Gru (wearing a gray suit and blue tie) standing in front of a crowd of onlookers, with yellow text at the bottom reading 'let it die! let it die!' The humor stems from the playful exaggeration that astronomers are eagerly anticipating Betelgeuse's potential supernova, hence their supposed desire for the star to 'die,' referencing Gru's lyrics from the film.

This joke meme criticizes modern recurring subscription and rental business models, framing them as one of the worst inventions created by humanity. The top text states 'Human invents renting and subscription', while the caption at the bottom has the red costumed Devil saying 'Well, I just wanna say that I'm a huge fan'. A regular man sitting beside the Devil looks at him with a disapproving, disgusted expression. The meme jokes that exploitative non-ownership recurring payment models are so evil that even the Devil himself admires the idea.

A meme that humorously twists a scientific fact about microplastic intake. The top text presents a claim: 'Scientists: you eat about a credit card worth of microplastics every year'. Below, the punchline follows: 'Me wondering if that's in addition to the credit cards I already eat:'. The visual component features a sequence of images of Raiden, a character from *Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance*, displaying various contemplative expressions—from neutral to slightly amused—emphasizing the absurdity of the joke. The meme uses irony by taking the scientific comparison of microplastic volume to a 'credit card worth' literally, suggesting the person already eats actual credit cards, thus questioning if the microplastics are an additional intake.

This is a simple three-panel comic meme that shares a surprising scientific fact. In the first panel, a happy grinning simplified stick figure in a yellow sweater asks for a mind blowing fact, saying 'blow my mind'. The second panel shows another figure pausing to think, indicated by the text 'hmmmm..'. The third panel reveals the fact: 'there are living creatures inside volcanos', with a third stick figure looking shocked at this surprising information. The joke plays on how this true fact (that extremophile micro-organisms can survive the extreme hot environment inside volcanoes) is unexpected and hard to believe for most people hearing it for the first time.

This is a 3-panel meme using edited screenshots from the live-action Transformers film series. Panel 1 shows Sam Witwicky (played by Shia LaBeouf) hiding behind a dumpster labeled 'THE ECONOMY', cowering from a menacing Decepticon labeled 'INCREASING BIRTH RATE'—framing the push to raise birth rates as a pressure on economic goals. Panel 2 depicts Sam actively fighting the Decepticon, representing efforts to align economic growth with higher birth rate targets. Panel 3 shows Sam being violently attacked by a force labeled 'INSANE COST OF LIVING', illustrating how the overwhelming high cost of living undermines both economic progress and attempts to increase birth rates. The meme satirizes the real-world societal struggle where even if policymakers aim to boost the economy and birth rates, unaffordable living conditions make it unfeasible for people to start or grow families, derailing those intended goals.

This two-panel meme uses the classic 'train colliding with a school bus' visual template to make a commentary on climate change denial. The top panel shows a school bus stopped on train tracks as an oncoming train approaches, with overlaid text labeling the bus as 'People who say ‘Climate change isn’t real.’' The bottom panel depicts the aftermath of the collision: the train has destroyed the bus, with text framing the train as 'Venice with 40 floods per year that used to be just once per year'. The meme uses the literal collision as a metaphor, suggesting that the tangible, worsening real-world effects of climate change (like Venice's drastically increased flooding) will inevitably confront and 'overwhelm' those who deny climate change's existence. The visual joke lies in this direct, destructive metaphor turning abstract debate into a concrete, unavoidable scenario.
