European Seasons Post 2020 Show Drastically Hotter Summers

This meme is split into two comparison sections to comment on changing European weather patterns. The top section is labeled 'seasons in Europe for 100s of yrs', featuring four cute anthropomorphized season characters: a small slender smiling sun for Summer, a bored-looking golden figure for Fall, a menacing muscular blue ice monster for Winter, and a smiling pink flower for Spring. The bottom section is labeled 'seasons in Europe post 2020', where only the Summer character changes into an extremely large, buff, muscular version of its original small form, while the other three seasons remain exactly the same as the top section. The joke satirizes the rapid increase in severe summer heatwaves across Europe since the early 2020s, referencing climate change making summers far hotter and more extreme than historical norms. The original post title 'And going to get worse' further emphasizes that this trend of extreme heat is expected to continue worsening over time.

Origin notes

This meme was sourced from the RSS feed of Reddit's r/Meme community, originally uploaded with the title 'And going to get worse'. It gained widespread popularity as a relatable commentary on the record-breaking high temperatures and heat events that have impacted multiple European countries annually starting in the 2020s, resonating with audiences who have directly experienced these unusual, dangerously hot summer conditions.

This meme is split into two comparative sections. The top section, labeled 'SEASONS IN THE PAST', features four distinct anthropomorphized characters representing each season: a small, cute smiling sun character for Summer, a smug human figure with a crown for Fall, a muscular blue yeti-like creature for Winter, and a smiling flower character for Spring. The bottom section, labeled 'SEASONS NOW', depicts all four seasons as sun-themed characters: Summer is represented as an extremely large, heavily muscular buff sun, Fall and Spring are both mid-sized muscular sun characters, while only Winter remains as a small regular sun character. The joke satirizes the effects of global warming and rising average temperatures, pointing out that almost all seasons are now uncharacteristically hot, aligning with the title's question asking if 30 degrees Celsius was once considered a tropical temperature.

This is a two-panel comparison meme that jokes about climate differences between Europe and Southeast Asia. The top panel is labeled "SEASONS IN THE Europe" and features four anthropomorphized characters representing each season: a small, friendly smiling sun for Summer, a cool neutral sun humanoid with crossed arms for Fall, a large aggressive blue ice monster for Winter, and a happy flower humanoid for Spring. The bottom panel is labeled "SEASONS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA", and only features an extremely buff, muscular giant sun character for Summer, while Fall, Winter, and Spring are each represented by RIP-marked tombstones, implying these cool seasons do not exist in Southeast Asia and the region is perpetually extremely hot all year, contrasting with European weather that has seen widely discussed unusually hot summer temperatures in recent years.

This is a humorous single-panel meme using an edited outer space/solar system diagram. On the far left, the bright, glowing Sun is labelled 'Sun'. A tiny white dot positioned very close to the Sun is labelled 'UK and the rest of Europe', while the full planet Earth is placed much further away from the Sun, far from the heat of the star. The joke plays on the widespread experience of extreme, record-breaking heatwaves across the UK and European continent, implying that the region feels so abnormally hot that it is effectively located far closer to the Sun than the rest of the planet Earth.

A two-panel meme criticizing Europeans' double standard regarding migration. The left panel features a cheerful animated character with blonde hair and wide blue eyes, accompanied by text: 'Europeans that move to developing countries because they love how warm, welcoming, and friendly the people are'. The right panel shows a menacing black-and-white portrait of a person with shadowed eyes and a smirk, paired with text: 'Europeans when people from those countries move to their neighborhoods'. The contrast between the cheerful left and threatening right highlights the hypocrisy in attitudes towards migration.

A 2x2 grid meme featuring four sequential frames of a young child sliding down a bright yellow slide. The top-left and top-right frames both display the text 'January 2026' with the child appearing relatively calm. The bottom-left frame is labeled 'Also January 2026,' showing the child looking more distressed, and the bottom-right frame reads '... January 2026' with the child visibly upset, mouth open as if crying. The meme humorously exaggerates the feeling of January 2026 dragging on endlessly, using the child's worsening reaction to depict the month feeling interminable.

This meme uses the popular 'Spongebob Squarepants getting progressively more muscular' template to humorously emphasize that four different time-related phrases all refer to the exact same duration: 1000 years. Each panel pairs a version of Spongebob with increasing physical intensity with a term for 1000 years: 1. Top panel: A cheerful, regular Spongebob with the text '1000 years' 2. Second panel: A stern, slightly tense Spongebob with '100 decades' (100 decades = 100 * 10 = 1000 years) 3. Third panel: A highly muscular, flexing Spongebob with '10 century's' (a grammatically incorrect phrase, intended to mean 10 centuries = 10 * 100 = 1000 years) 4. Bottom panel: An extremely buff, rock-like Spongebob with 'A MILLENIUM' (a typo of 'millennium', the formal term for 1000 years). The joke lies in the visual escalation matching the perceived 'weight' of the terminology, even though all phrases describe the same length of time, while also poking fun at minor grammar/typo errors in the phrasing.

A two-panel meme featuring Drake from his 'Hotline Bling' music video. The top panel shows Drake in a red puffer jacket against a yellow background, raising his hand to his ear with a displeased, unimpressed expression, accompanied by the text 'The first half of the 2020's'. The bottom panel shows Drake in the same outfit, pointing forward with a smiling, approving expression, with the text 'The first half of the 2010's'. A 'made with mematic' watermark is visible at the bottom. The meme humorously contrasts nostalgia for the 2010s with dissatisfaction toward the 2020s.

This is a 4-panel relatable meme. It opens with the text '2026 will be my year :', then shows four panels labeled January, February, March, and April. Each panel features the same young girl lying on a carpeted floor, looking progressively more exhausted, teary, and defeated as the months go on. The meme jokes about the extremely common experience of starting a new year with high optimistic expectations for self-improvement or success, only to quickly burn out and feel defeated within the first few months of the year.

This two-panel comparison meme humorously contrasts local vs global perceptions of Australian geography. The left panel is labeled 'how Australians see Australia' and features a full, detailed, geographically accurate map of the entire Australian continent, with all regions, cities, and surrounding bodies of water clearly marked. The right panel is labeled 'how the rest of the world sees Australia' and depicts almost the entire Australian continent as empty ocean, with only a tiny strip of the east coast visible, only labeled with the city of Sydney. The meme's title jokes that the video game Overwatch will never receive a map set in the major Australian city of Melbourne, playing on the punchline that global game developers (like most people outside Australia) are only aware of a tiny portion of Australian geography, so they would never consider creating content set in lesser-known (to global audiences) Australian cities like Melbourne.

This meme is divided into two horizontal panels to humorously contrast the same statement across different times of the year. The left panel, labeled "1st of January," features a cheerful, animated character with a bright smile and wide eyes, accompanied by the text "I haven't showered since last year." Here, the phrase is lighthearted because "last year" refers to the previous day (December 31st of the prior year). The right panel, labeled "31st of December," shows a dark, aged, and unsettling black-and-white character with a sinister smile and sunken eyes, using the identical text. The joke hinges on the double meaning of "since last year": by December 31st, the character has ostensibly gone nearly a full year without showering, resulting in a dramatically deteriorated appearance. The visual contrast—colorful/animated vs. black-and-white/creepy—amplifies the humor of the exaggerated scenario.

This meme jokes about the severity of predicted 2026 heatwaves in Europe. The top text states that Europe survived two world wars, followed by a visual of the T-800 Terminator character melting in front of a weather map of Europe showing record high temperatures across most of the continent, marked with heat warning icons and temperature readings as high as 39 degrees Celsius. The joke exaggerates the intensity of future European heatwaves to be more catastrophic than the world wars, referencing the trend of increasingly severe summer heatwaves hitting Europe in recent years. The original post title 'Cooking eggs on the floor rn' further emphasizes how hot the region is implied to be, to the point that eggs can be cooked directly on the ground.

The meme features two Shiba Inu dog characters side by side to compare TV show episode counts between the past and present. On the left, a muscular, anthropomorphic Shiba Inu is labeled 'shows back then' with the text '24 episodes per season' below it, symbolizing the higher episode count of older shows. On the right, a smaller, non-muscular Shiba Inu is labeled 'shows now' with the text '5 episodes per season' below it, representing the reduced episode count of modern shows. The visual contrast between the strong and weak physique of the dogs humorously emphasizes the decline in episode quantity over time.
