Overview

This single-panel meme uses a low-contrast photograph of a glum, half-asleep orange and white cat lying down as the background.

Origin notes

This meme was shared on Reddit meme communities, with the original poster titling it 'Shit that's legit true 🥲🥲🥲' to emphasize how relatable the exaggerated sentiment is for single audiences. It repurposes a commonly used sad/tired cat meme template with original humorous text to create the relatable joke about single life frustration.

Below the text is a photograph of a white and gray cat lying on its back on a patterned gray carpet. The cat has its front paws raised, mouth open, and appears to be in a startled or shocked state, which humorously mimics the feeling of the body's sudden 'fake fall' sensation when half-asleep. The meme uses the cat's expressive posture to visually represent the relatable experience of involuntary muscle jerks or the sensation of falling while dozing off.

This is a pun-based adult humor meme presented as a screenshot of a social media post. The top text sets up the joke: 'when you both nut at the same time' where 'nut' is internet slang for ejaculation. The image below shows a close-up of a wide-eyed tabby cat next to the yellow hammer and sickle symbol of communism, with the overlaid text '*Ourgasm'. The pun combines the sexual term 'orgasm' with the collective communist concept of 'our', creating 'Ourgasm' to joke about simultaneous mutual orgasm. The original title 'Commu-nutsm' adds an extra layer of pun, combining 'communism' and 'nut' for the joke.

Overlaid white text with a black outline across the center of the image reads: 'Unfortunately I do enjoy watching the downfall of ppl who did me wrong'.

The image depicts two domestic cats in a home interior setting.
