When you join a comment section for a post you don't understand

The meme consists of a top text caption paired with a photograph taken at a G7 summit. The top text reads "When you join the comment section for a post you didn't really get:". The photo below shows former US president Donald Trump standing alone at the far left of a large G7 conference room, while all other attending world leaders are clustered together in a group conversing on the opposite side of the table, appearing to exclude him. The humor comes from comparing the relatable awkward, out-of-place feeling of being lost in a comment section for content you do not understand to Trump's visibly isolated position in the photograph. A "made with mematic" watermark is present at the bottom left corner of the image.

This is a relatable reaction meme featuring a still shot of the character Michael Scott from the US sitcom *The Office*. Michael is wearing a dark grey business suit, white dress shirt, and patterned blue tie, with a completely blank, deadpan, unamused, and indifferent facial expression as he stares forward. Text placed at the top of the image reads 'Me while commenting "lol"'. The joke highlights the common dissonance between the casual, lighthearted positive 'lol' (laugh out loud) comment people leave on social media posts and messages, and the actual bored, unimpressed, or completely unenthusiastic emotion they are feeling when typing the comment. A small 'made with mematic' watermark is visible in the bottom left corner of the image.

The meme consists of a top text overlay and a photograph. The text reads: 'Americans pretending to be europeans on european subs while also mentioning random us senate members :'. Below the text is an image of Shaquille O'Neal, a tall real person, attempting to hide behind an extremely thin tree. Most of his body remains visible, creating a humorous contrast between his large size and the ineffective hiding spot. The joke satirizes Americans who pretend to be European on European subreddits but inadvertently reveal their American identity by referencing US Senate members, similar to how Shaq's attempt to hide is unconvincing and obvious.

This relatable meme jokes about a common frustration for Reddit users: after joining new subreddits, users frequently find that posts from these subreddits do not appear on their personal home feed. When a user asks why this issue occurs, the platform provides no clear answer, which is represented here by multiple instances of actor Zac Efron doing a casual shrug.
