This is a two-panel preference meme using screencaps of Geordi La Forge from *Star Trek: The Next Generation*. The top panel shows Geordi making a rejecting stop gesture paired with the text "Booby size", indicating that breast size is dismissed as a low priority.

This is a 5-panel meme using edited scenes from the animated show *SpongeBob SquarePants*, satirizing a common stereotype about Reddit users. 1. **Panel 1**: Squidward Tentacles says "I'm a redditor" while Patrick Star looks on with a confused expression. 2. **Panel 2**: Patrick asks, "What is that?" 3. **Panel 3**: SpongeBob SquarePants explains (with intentional typos: "diferent opinnions"): "It means he doesn't like different opinions." 4. **Panel 4**: Squidward defensively denies this, saying "No, it doesn't" as SpongeBob looks worried. 5. **Panel 5**: Patrick casually says "different opinion", and SpongeBob panics, yelling "Stop it Patrick, he'll downvote you". The joke hinges on the widespread stereotype that Reddit users frequently downvote content or comments that express views contrary to the popular consensus in a subreddit, even if the opinion is harmless. The typos in SpongeBob's line add to the casual, unpolished style typical of internet memes.

Below this text is a close-up image of Thanos, a purple-skinned character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, wearing armor with a shocked expression. At the bottom of the image is the word 'Impossible'. The humor arises from the contrast between the initial dismissive phrase 'Whatever happens, happens' (indicating nonchalance) and Thanos's shocked reaction labeled 'Impossible', implying the person's confidence is shattered when an unexpected event occurs.
