This meme features a screenshot of an orangutan gripping a steering wheel with a grumpy, unamused expression, paired with a bold top text caption: 'MY FAT ASS OF A DAD TAKING HIS DODGE RAM V10 TO GO TO THE BAKERY 100 METERS AWAY'. The humor comes from the absurdity of using a large, powerful full-size truck (Dodge Ram V10) for an extremely short, easily walkable trip (100 meters). The informal, slangy phrase 'fat ass of a dad' adds a playful, relatable tone, leaning into the common stereotype of dads who prefer to drive everywhere, even for tiny errands, instead of walking. The orangutan's stern expression perfectly complements the joke, embodying the no-nonsense attitude of a dad who refuses to make the short walk.

This two-panel meme uses subverted expectations and absurd humor to mock human overconfidence. The top panel features text from the perspective of humanity: *"wait till those aliens come down here and experience our weapons and the indomitable human spirit"*, framing humans as bold and ready to defend their planet against extraterrestrial threats. The bottom panel, labeled *"the aliens :"*, shows an edited image of the Moon firing a bright green laser beam into space. The joke lies in the reversal: instead of aliens invading Earth, they control an unimaginably powerful weapon (the Moon as a laser cannon) that can strike Earth from a distance, making human boasts of military strength and spirit completely irrelevant. It's a sarcastic take on the common sci-fi trope of human vs alien conflict.

This is an absurdist humor meme centered around a plate of crispy, cooked bacon. At the top of the image, bold text paired with red warning triangles reads **DISCLAIMER:**, while bottom text states **LIKING THIS POST MAY LEAD TO YOUR ARREST IN THE UK**. The joke relies on satirical, over-the-top absurdity: there is no actual law in the UK criminalizing liking a social media post about bacon, so the fake disclaimer is meant to be funny and attention-grabbing. It plays on the idea of hypothetical overly strict rules, using a universally popular food (bacon) to make the absurd claim more relatable and amusing. A watermark for "THE ATLAS SOCIETY" is visible in the bottom right corner of the image.

This two-panel meme uses wordplay and absurdity to joke about the English language's counterintuitive naming convention for scissors. The left panel shows a standard single scissor tool (which is commonly referred to as "a pair of scissors" in English, despite being one unified object with two blades), paired with the text: "if this is a pair of scissors". The right panel displays two separate single-bladed scissor-like tools (each with one blade and one handle), with the caption: "then wtf is this". The meme highlights the oddity of calling one scissor object a "pair" by presenting a literal "pair" of scissor pieces, questioning the inconsistency of the terminology.
