The flat-earthers have finally won. Thank you, Artemis

This satirical meme visualizes the classic flat-Earth conspiracy model, depicting Earth as a thick flat disc floating in starry outer space. A cyan highlighted zoom callout points to the vertical rocky side wall of the disc Earth, zooming in to show two mountain goats standing on this vertical edge. The joke plays on the common flat-Earth conspiracy claim that Earth has a giant wall at its outer edge, and pokes fun at NASA's Artemis moon exploration mission by implying the mission accidentally confirmed the flat-Earth model by finding goats living on the edge wall.

The meme features a 3D render of the flat Earth disc model floating against a starry outer space background, with white text at the top that reads 'This is how dinosaurs went extinct, according to flat earthers'. The unstated punchline, referenced by the original post title 'The plot twist I wasn't expecting', is the satirical implication that under flat Earth belief, dinosaurs went extinct by falling off the edge of the flat disc planet, mocking the absurdity of flat Earth conspiracy theories.

This humorous meme features an inverted world map where Earth's land and water areas are fully swapped. Regions that appear as oceans on standard world maps are depicted as green and brown landmasses with mountain ranges and polar ice caps, while all normal continental land areas are shown as blue bodies of water. The joke plays on the title 'Fish be like:', imagining that this inverted map is how a fish would visualize the world, as their primary habitat (water) is presented as the inhabitable 'land' area, and actual dry land is treated as unoccupied 'water' on a fish's hypothetical world map.

This image is a blank original meme template depicting two astronauts standing on the surface of the Moon. In the dark space background, a partial crescent Earth is visible over the lunar horizon. The smaller astronaut on the left faces away, looking at Earth, while the larger astronaut on the right stands behind him pointing a handgun directly at his back. The open, tense setup allows creators to add their own captions or context for humorous or dramatic memes about unexpected betrayal.

This is an ironic meme that uses the famous public-domain NASA 'Blue Marble' photograph of planet Earth, centered against a solid black outer space background, showing North and Central America on the planet's surface. The post title is 'Most overrated planet', with the image being Earth itself. The humor comes from the absurd, ironic take: while Earth is the only known habitable planet for humanity, many people joke about it being 'overrated' due to all its problems like climate change, political conflict, and everyday inconveniences.

This is a silly two-panel meme with a bold text header at the top that reads "This Guy Nearly Collapsed The Whole Planet". The left panel displays a real photograph of a passenger car that has crashed head-on into a thick metal pole, with the front end of the car completely crumpled from the impact. A crudely drawn red arrow extends from the car crash site in the left panel across to the right panel, which shows a standard tabletop globe of Earth with hand-drawn red impact marks on its surface. The joke relies on intentional absurd overexaggeration for comedy, humorously implying that the force of the local small car crash was so powerful that it nearly caused the entire planet Earth to collapse, linking a minor mundane accident to an apocalyptic global event for comedic effect.

This image is a screenshot of a social media post from the Flat Earth Society, with annotations highlighting a funny accidental contradiction. The Flat Earth Society claims the Earth is flat (not a spherical globe), but their post states 'The Flat Earth Society has members all around the globe.' The word 'globe' is circled in red to draw attention to this unintended self-contradiction. Below the original post, a user comment from Physics-Astronomy.com reads 'Say that again, but slowly' which calls out the mistake, and an arrow points to this comment to highlight the joke.

The meme consists of a vintage retro-futurist science fiction illustration at the top, depicting a barren alien planet with multiple round, classic mid-20th century style spaceships landed or hovering above the surface, with small human astronauts standing near a planted flag exploring the terrain. Below the illustration, text comments humorously on the optimistic predictions of old sci-fi works, which often set advanced interstellar human exploration in years that are now in the past (such as 2003), expressing fond amusement at how high those past creators' hopes were for human technological progress that never came to pass as predicted.

The image presents a vertical comparison of two identical spiral galaxy visuals, presumably representing the Milky Way. The top section is labeled 'The Milky Way With Earth' in white text, while the bottom section is labeled 'The Milky Way Without Earth' in a slightly lighter shade. Below both images, the text 'The Universe Doesn’t Care' is displayed in white. The core humor lies in the fact that the two galaxy images are indistinguishable, emphasizing that Earth’s presence or absence has no observable impact on the cosmos, thus conveying a sarcastic and lighthearted message about cosmic indifference to human existence.

This is a humorous edited infographic of the solar system. It shows standard spherical depictions of the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus placed along their orbital paths, with a flat, square model of Earth replacing the usual spherical Earth in its correct orbital position between Venus and Mars. The text at the top of the image reads 'Well, this is awkward...'. The joke satirizes the fringe flat Earth conspiracy theory by highlighting how absurd and out of place a flat Earth looks when placed alongside the universally accepted spherical model of all other planets in the solar system.

This is an edited comedic image of the full Moon set against a starry space background. The Moon has been digitally altered to add a deep vertical cleft running directly down its center, making the entire spherical Moon visually resemble human buttocks. The meme plays on popular conspiracy tropes that claim NASA hides the true appearance of the Moon's hidden far side from the public, turning the conspiracy premise into a silly, vulgar visual pun.
