This is a two-panel satirical Wojak meme criticizing common unfair stereotypes about Japan's suicide rates. The top panel features a neutral, calm glasses-wearing Wojak reacting indifferently with 'ok' to the listed suicide rates of four countries: the United States (15.6 per 100k people, ranked 24th globally), France (16.6 per 100k, 18th), Belgium (18.4 per 100k, 15th), and Thailand (16.6 per 100k, 18th). The bottom panel shows the same Wojak character crying and screaming in outrage, yelling 'NOOOO!!! Japan is a suicidal hellhole where everyone is depressed!!!!!', while Japan's listed suicide rate is 14.7 per 100k people, ranked 30th globally, which is lower than all four previously listed countries. The meme highlights the double standard where people disproportionately fixate on and exaggerate Japan's suicide issues while ignoring higher suicide rates in other nations.

This is a static screenshot of a short form social media video, showing a man with a bowl cut and goatee taking a selfie inside a convenience store, standing next to shelves stocked with candy and snack products. Overlaid white text on the upper part of the image makes a critical, sarcastic comparison of public trust in two public safety institutions: it states 'If the police did their jobs, everyone would trust them. Ain't no song called Fck the Fire Department.' The right side of the image displays standard short form video platform UI elements: 808.4K likes, 5891 comments, 54.4K saves, and a small circular profile photo of the content creator. The joke highlights widespread public distrust of police in many communities, contrasted with nearly universal positive public perception of firefighters, referencing the existence of anti-police sentiment in popular music as evidence of this gap in approval.

This collage meme satirizes waste and corruption in the U.S. military-industrial complex by contrasting resupplied ration quality across two weeks. The Week One section displays an extravagant gourmet meal with lobster tails, steak, fresh vegetables and high-end sides, paired with a real news clipping referencing the 2025 'Lobstergate' scandal where Pete Hegseth's Pentagon faced public backlash for spending $7 million on lobster purchases. The Week Two section shows low-quality, unpalatable standard military rations including unidentifiable grey processed meat, plain carrot slices, plain tortillas, and 'ice soup' which is just ice cubes in water, mocking how initial high-quality supplies are quickly replaced with substandard rations after public funds are misallocated to luxury purchases.
