This meme uses the popular Mocking SpongeBob format to joke about tensions around the strategic Hormuz Strait shipping lane. The top text first quotes a statement attributed to Donald Trump claiming "The Hormuz Strait situation is over", followed by a sarcastic restatement of the same line attributed to Iran, written in alternating upper and lower case, a common internet convention for mocking speech. Below the text is a distorted, dazed-looking image of SpongeBob SquarePants, the standard visual component of the Mocking SpongeBob meme used to emphasize sarcastic rejection of the prior statement. The title references the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment, implying the status of the Hormuz Strait situation is ambiguously both resolved and unresolved depending on which party's perspective is considered.

This meme uses the popular Bernie Sanders earnest pleading reaction template. Text above the image of Bernie Sanders reads 'Egyptians 4 times a year:', and the lower text modifies the original famous line to 'I am once again asking for unlimited internet'. The joke references the common frustration of internet users in Egypt, and internet users generally, with capped data quotas that get used up quickly by activities like streaming 1080p video, leading to regular requests or wishes for unlimited internet plans. Bernie Sanders is shown standing outdoors in a winter residential area, wearing a heavy brown winter coat, looking directly at the camera with a serious, pleading expression.

This is a 6-panel reaction meme. The top text states 'Egyptians trying to calculate how to make 140GB last the whole month.' The panels sequentially show a middle-aged Egyptian man from a popular local comedy series, first deep in thought with his hand on his chin, gradually looking more concentrated and stressed as he attempts to work out how to budget his 140GB internet data allowance to last for an entire month. The meme pokes fun at the common, relatable struggle of internet users in Egypt who face limited, often expensive monthly data caps that require careful planning to avoid running out before the billing cycle resets.

This is a 3-panel comparison meme using the popular increasingly intense SpongeBob SquarePants template to compare the political and conflict history of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Brazil. Each panel features a version of SpongeBob that grows more tough, muscular, and serious as the historical crises listed for each country become more numerous and severe. The first panel shows a cheerful regular SpongeBob holding the US flag, paired with text noting the US has had 40 presidents and 1 civil war. The second panel shows a stern SpongeBob wearing a headband holding the UK flag, paired with text noting the UK has had 61 kings and 3 large civil wars. The third panel shows a buff, angry SpongeBob wearing a headband holding the Brazilian flag, with Mr. Krabs chained in the background, paired with an extensive list of major political crises in Brazil including emperors, dictators, coups, civil wars, impeachments, presidential self-coup attempts, a former dictator elected as president, the world's largest corruption scandal, and a former inmate president. The humor derives from framing Brazil as far more politically turbulent and 'hardcore' than the US and UK, with the escalating intensity of SpongeBob's design matching the scale of historical crises for each nation.

A meme featuring a humorous comparison between ancient Egyptian worship of Bastet (the cat goddess) and modern cat owners. The top text reads 'Ancient Egyptians praying to the goddess Bastet'. Below the text is a photograph of a hairless Sphynx cat standing on a wooden cabinet, reaching up with one paw to touch a glass vase containing a tall white candle. From the bottom of the image, human hands are reaching upward toward the cat, seemingly in a gesture to either worship or prevent the cat from knocking over the candle. The joke lies in equating the cat's mischievous behavior with the reverence ancient Egyptians had for Bastet, a goddess often depicted as a cat.

At the top of the image, bold text reads 'WHEN YOU EARN 100 MILLION A YEAR', and at the bottom, additional text states 'BUT IT'S IN IRANIAN RIALS'.

This is a two-panel comparative sarcastic meme about modern internet access restrictions. The top panel has left text stating 'Your ancestors holding internet in their hands 2263 years ago' paired with an ancient Egyptian stone hieroglyph carving, where the object held by the carved figure is humorously misinterpreted as a Wi-Fi signal to imply ancient people had internet access. The bottom panel has left text reading 'You in 2026 with your limited 140GB' paired with a SpongeBob SquarePants scene: a group of huddled, shocked fish labeled 'the rest of the world' stare at a hysterical, running Squidward Tentacles labeled 'Egypt with limited internet quotas'. The meme contrasts the absurd fictional idea of ancient unlimited internet with the frustrating reality of modern restrictive data caps, specifically mocking Egypt's strict internet quota policies as out of line with global standards.

This is a 2-panel satirical Wojak meme mocking people who promote the conspiracy theory that aliens built the Egyptian pyramids instead of native ancient Egyptians. In the first panel, a smug light-skinned Wojak with glasses and a fade haircut claims to a neutral grey alien: 'You guys built the pyramids', and the alien replies 'We didn't'. In the second panel, the same Wojak is now angry, crying, and gritting his teeth as he says to a smiling ancient Egyptian Wojak wearing a pharaonic crown: 'You guys didn't build the pyramids', and the Egyptian responds 'We did'. The joke highlights the bad faith and biased logic of conspiracy theorists who reject both the fact that aliens did not build the pyramids and that ancient Egyptians were the actual builders.
