A meme using a bell curve labeled 'IQ score' (ranging from 55 to 145) to humorously depict public opinion on mosquitoes. At the top, a distressed animated character with glasses appears above text defending mosquitoes: 'Actually mosquitoes are just doing what they are biologically programmed to do and spiders rely on them for food so we should appreciate them as a perfectly good insect.' The bell curve displays percentages (0.1%, 2%, 14%, 34%, 34%, 14%, 2%, 0.1%) indicating opinion distribution. On the left side (lower IQ scores), a simple animated character with a smirk is labeled 'Mosquitoes fucking suck'; on the right side (higher IQ scores), another animated character in a brown hoodie shares the same label. The meme讽刺ly suggests that regardless of perceived intelligence, most people agree mosquitoes are unpleasant, with only a small minority (the curve's peak) defending them. The watermark 'imgflip.com' is visible at the bottom left.

This is a simple three-panel comic meme that shares a surprising scientific fact. In the first panel, a happy grinning simplified stick figure in a yellow sweater asks for a mind blowing fact, saying 'blow my mind'.

The third panel reveals the fact: 'there are living creatures inside volcanos', with a third stick figure looking shocked at this surprising information. The joke plays on how this true fact (that extremophile micro-organisms can survive the extreme hot environment inside volcanoes) is unexpected and hard to believe for most people hearing it for the first time.

A two-panel meme with the top text 'Spiders in Australia are evolving faster than we expected.' The left panel shows a close-up of a beige and red striped curtain, with several striped, claw-like appendages peeking out from the bottom, resembling large spider legs.

This meme uses the popular 'Spider-Man giving a presentation' template: a real person in a full Spider-Man costume stands at a podium in front of a seated audience, presenting on a projector screen. The text displayed on the screen reads: **'HUMANS DESTROYING NATURE IS JUST NATURE DESTROYING ITSELF WITH EXTRA STEPS.'** The humor comes from the absurd contrast between the fictional superhero character delivering a philosophical, environmental-themed take, paired with the formal presentation setting. The joke frames human-caused environmental damage as an extension of nature's own processes, adding a satirical, thought-provoking layer to the silly visual of Spider-Man in an academic-style setting.
