Overview

A two-panel comparison meme about global warming. The top panel shows three large, partially melted ice cubes with the text 'ICE THEN,' representing ice in the past. The bottom panel features Peter Griffin from Family Guy holding a color chart with sections labeled 'OKAY' (top) and 'NOT OKAY' (bottom), with the text 'ICE NOW,' humorously implying current ice conditions are 'NOT OKAY' due to global warming.

Origin notes

This meme is a remix created by combining a stock image of melting ice cubes (top panel, watermarked 'wiseGEEK') with a screenshot of Peter Griffin from the animated TV show Family Guy (bottom panel, watermarked 'imgflip.com'). It was circulated on Reddit as indicated by the source information, using image editing software to merge the two elements into a satirical commentary on climate change.

A 2x2 grid meme using the popular 'Drake Hotline Bling' reaction template. The top-left panel shows Drake in an orange puffer jacket with his hand raised in a dismissive gesture, with the text 'boomers' overlaid at the bottom. The top-right panel contains the text 'gen z memes'. The bottom-left panel repeats the same Drake image, now with the text 'gen z' overlaid.

This is a 2x2 four-panel meme that jokes about online diet culture and people pushing their dietary choices onto others. The top-left panel uses the angry crying Wojak (soyjak) meme template, labeled "ANNOYING VEGAN" yelling the phrase "STOP EATING MEAT!" at meat eaters. The top-right panel uses the popular "No, I don't think I will" Clint Eastwood meme template, labeled "CHILL MEAT EATER" who calmly responds that he will not stop eating meat. The bottom-left panel uses the same angry Wojak, labeled "ANNOYING MEAT EATER" yelling "EAT MEAT!" at vegans. The bottom-right uses the same Clint Eastwood template, labeled "CHILL VEGAN" who calmly responds he will not start eating meat. The joke makes an even-handed point that annoying people of any diet belief push their choices on others, while chill people simply stick to their own diet without interfering with others, and the original prompt asks viewers which type they are.

The image features a high-quality photograph of a Mitsubishi KVSC Turbo engine, showcased against a plain white background. The engine has a distinctive red and black cover with the Mitsubishi logo prominently displayed. At the top of the image, white text reads: 'ICE or something idk I'm not American'. The engine's mechanical components, including belts, pulleys, and various metallic parts, are clearly visible, emphasizing its detailed engineering. The humor in the meme arises from the creator's feigned confusion about 'ICE' (likely an abbreviation for Internal Combustion Engine) paired with the disclaimer 'I'm not American', suggesting unfamiliarity with American automotive terminology or context.

This is a 4-panel vertical relatable meme. Panel 1: A white cartoon figure labeled 'ME' happily reaches for a large yellow orb marked 'ICE CREAM'. Panel 2: A pink blob labeled 'SORE THROAT' grabs the protagonist from behind, holding them back as they strain to reach the ice cream while sweating nervously. Panel 3: A larger orange blob labeled 'A COLD' grabs both the sore throat blob and the protagonist, pulling them further away from the now more distant ice cream, the protagonist looks dejected. Panel 4: A huge dark blue blob labeled 'SOUNDING LIKE A DYING DEMENTOR FOR 3 DAYS' grabs all three previous characters, holding them completely away from the ice cream which is now barely visible. The joke illustrates the common frustrating experience of craving ice cream when you get sick, only for worsening cold symptoms to progressively prevent you from enjoying the treat, culminating in you being severely hoarse and unwell. The 'dying dementor' line references Harry Potter to humorously describe how a severe cold makes your voice sound.
