A meme consisting of two parts: top text and an image. The top text reads: 'Someone: Whatever happens, happens. *Whatever happens. That someone:'. 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.

This is a relatable procrastination meme consisting of text at the top and a surreal photograph below. The text reads 'Me doing anything other than the thing I need to do'. The photograph shows a woman with curly dark hair wearing a long black dress, standing barefoot on the edge of a dry, rolling desert hill landscape. She is holding the hose of a red and grey canister vacuum cleaner, holding the vacuum head over the rocky desert ground as if she is vacuuming the desert. The absurd, completely useless action of vacuuming a desert perfectly illustrates the common experience of procrastinating by engaging in random, pointless, unnecessary tasks instead of completing the actual important task you are supposed to do.

A four-panel meme featuring Gru from the animated film 'Despicable Me.' In the first panel, Gru holds a sign reading 'Feel empty inside' with a confident expression. The second panel shows him holding 'Doomscroll reddit for 2 hours' while looking thoughtful. The third and fourth panels both display 'Feel even emptier,' with Gru appearing increasingly resigned.

This meme uses a dramatically edited photograph to humorously depict relatable procrastination. In the foreground, a calm real-life man sits on a small boat labeled 'DUNKIRK 1940' scrolling through his phone. The background shows a waterfront engulfed in flames, with a large, monstrous hand emerging from the smoke. Overlay text contrasts this chaotic, urgent scene (representing overwhelming unfinished tasks) with the man's relaxed, mindless activity (representing scrolling through memes).
