And who could forget, that famous scene in the movie, Forrest Gump…

This image is an edited version of an iconic scene from the 1994 film *Forrest Gump*. The original scene shows Forrest and his childhood love Jenny reuniting by wading towards each other through the clear water of the National Mall Reflecting Pool in front of the Washington Monument, surrounded by a large crowd of anti-Vietnam War protest onlookers. This edit alters the pool's water to be completely covered in thick, bright green duckweed/algae, creating the absurd, humorous impression that the two characters are wading through slimy, murky pond slime during their emotional reunion moment.

This meme features a real photograph of former Tuvalu Foreign Minister Simon Kofe standing knee-deep in shallow, clear ocean water, positioned behind a standing podium. A United Nations flag and the national flag of Tuvalu are placed to his left, with a blue fabric backdrop behind him, and partially submerged concrete coastal defensive structures are visible further out in the water under a cloudy sky. The text overlaid at the top of the image uses the popular Bernie Sanders meme phrase structure, reading: "I am once again asking for your attention to the issue of climate change." The visual powerfully demonstrates the immediate threat of sea level rise to low-lying Pacific island nations like Tuvalu, which face total submersion due to the impacts of global climate change.

This meme uses a behind-the-scenes photo from the *The Flash* CW TV show, featuring actor Grant Gustin (portraying Barry Allen/Flash) kneeling playfully next to a grave. He grins while making a peace sign with one hand and pointing to himself with the other, contrasting sharply with the somber, serious expressions of the cast/crew members standing around the grave. The text overlay frames the grave as **TALKING ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE** and Gustin’s character as **EVERY POLITICIAN**. The joke satirizes the perceived hypocrisy of politicians: they publicly act as if climate change is a grave, serious crisis (like the somber group around the grave) but privately are insincere, unconcerned, and fail to take meaningful action, represented by the politician’s lighthearted, casual demeanor next to the metaphorical 'crisis' of climate change. The visual irony between the somber funeral setting (meant to symbolize the urgency of climate change) and the politician’s playful pose highlights the frustration with political inaction on environmental issues.

A meme featuring a modified version of the 19th-century painting 'American Progress' by John Gast. The top text reads 'AMERICAN REDDITORS ON THEIR WAY TO COLONIZE AN APOLITICAL SUBREDDIT:' The painting depicts a large, robed woman (Columbia, personifying American progress) striding westward, leading settlers, telegraph wires, covered wagons, and wildlife. The meme satirically compares American Redditors inserting political discussions (e.g., about ICE) into unrelated, apolitical subreddits (such as pet-focused communities) to historical westward expansion/colonization, criticizing the tendency to derail non-political online spaces with political content.

This is a humorous meme centered on an accidental optical illusion in a real-life photograph. In the image, a heavyset man in tactical security-style gear stands in a public crowd; his protruding belly, visible below his vest, aligns perfectly with a clear water bottle held by a man standing directly behind him. This creates the visual trick that the bottle is resting on a large mass of ice, which the meme exaggerates to a "glacier" for comedic effect. Overlaid text amplifies the joke: "that's not ice that's a glacier", "wtf 😭😭✌️✌️", and "OMG BRO" add playful, shocked commentary about the absurd visual coincidence. The crowd in the background suggests this was taken at a public event like a parade or outdoor gathering.
