This is a three-panel meme using the popular Lord of the Rings 'Don't Cast It' template to joke about the long-running internet debate over whether pineapple belongs on pizza. The top panel shows a pile of pineapple chunks, the controversial topping in question. The middle panel pairs the Italian flag (Italy is the origin of modern pizza) with a shocked Elrond from *Lord of the Rings*, with text reading 'DONT DO IT! DON'T CAST IT ON A PIZZA!' representing traditional Italian pizza purists who oppose pineapple as a pizza topping. The bottom panel pairs the Canadian flag with Isildur from *Lord of the Rings*, who says 'YES' next to an image of a finished pineapple pizza, representing Canada's embrace of this controversial topping.

This two-panel meme addresses the controversy over halal ritual slaughter, framed by the original title question 'Is it multicultural enough'. The top panel uses the popular Steven Crowder 'Change My Mind' outdoor debate meme format, featuring a sign that claims halal killing (which the sign misrepresents as intentionally letting the animal know it is dying) is animal cruelty and should be banned in civilized countries, challenging others to change the poster's mind. The bottom panel provides a direct response: a photograph of a person performing traditional halal slaughter of a goat, with Arabic text that translates to 'Is this the correct way? This is the correct slaughter', illustrating the traditional practice in response to the top claim, asking if this inclusion satisfies multicultural requirements.

This meme combines an original official photograph of former United States President Donald Trump posing with Japanese politician Sanae Takaichi, where both are smiling and giving a thumbs up, overlaid with a screenshot of a verified X (Twitter) post. The post claims that during a live translated press conference, after Trump told a joke referencing Pearl Harbor, Japanese translators were shocked and paused for several seconds, unable to respond in disbelief. The joke is widely considered awkward and controversial because Pearl Harbor was the site of a major World War II Japanese attack on the United States, so making light of the event in front of Japanese officials creates an extremely uncomfortable situation.

This is a viral meme covering the real-life story of Arizona inmate Ricky Wassenaar. The main image shows Ricky from behind, wearing an orange prison uniform, raising a homemade prison weapon (a rock wrapped in netting inside a sock) over his shoulder inside a prison dining hall with other inmates blurred in the background. A circular inset headshot of Ricky is also included. The image displays a quote from Ricky after he killed 3 convicted child molesters in one day in prison, where he states he wanted to kill all child molesters so taxpayers no longer have to pay to house them, and that this action is him paying his debt to society, noting his original goal was to kill 13. The meme's title plays on widespread public sentiment that while Ricky is technically a convicted inmate (a 'bad guy'), many people view his actions against child predators as morally justified, hence the wording that he is a bad guy but not a BAD guy.

You are bad guy. But that doesn't mean you a BAD guy

This image is a screenshot of a viral social media post. The top section shows a post from user Kamatchu Kannan with the controversial, absurd text: 'The reason why you are poor is because you think of sex when it rains instead of farming' followed by farming-related emojis. Below the text is a selfie of a young South Asian woman sitting inside a car, looking at the camera. The post became a viral meme due to its out-of-touch, nonsensical blaming of poor people for their economic status.

This image is a celebrity gossip post that uses a red carpet photo of NFL Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and his former fiancée Jane Ramos, with a red zig-zag line drawn between them to symbolize the ended engagement. Overlaid text at the top reports that Prescott, who has an estimated net worth of $250 to 300 million, called off the wedding after Jane Ramos allegedly refused to sign a prenuptial agreement. The original 9Gag post uses this celebrity news to open a discussion about men's rights in divorce and claims that courts are biased against men in divorce cases.

Lowe explains he has received hundreds of accusations of racism and islamophobia on the day of posting, after announcing the far-right Restore Britain party's policies that include banning halal slaughter, the burqa, sharia law, and cousin marriage, among other restrictions.

A meme from 9Gag featuring a sensationalized news-like post with the headline '330 gallons of sulphuric acid was purchased for Epstein Island' and a timestamp '2 hours ago'. Below the headline is a photograph of Jeffrey Epstein hugging another person, with part of the individual's face blacked out. The accompanying text claims the purchase is referenced in Epstein files, occurring on the day the FBI opened its investigation into his trafficking charges, blending real-world figures with unsubstantiated or exaggerated claims.

The image is a photograph of several individuals walking on an urban street, featuring Jeffrey Epstein (gray-haired man in a dark zip-up jacket) and Woody Allen (man in a purple shirt, beige pants, and a hat) among others. The photograph is overlaid with a controversial caption linking Woody Allen to the Epstein files and referencing an unrelated allegation about his daughter, creating a misleading association between two separate controversies.
