A meme consisting of a text overlay and an image. The top text reads: 'When you're well educated and knowledgeable about most topics but people assume you're ignorant because you sound like you have a mouth full of cornbread'. Below the text is an image of an older man with a mustache and beard, wearing a light blue shirt and beige apron, sitting in an office-like setting. He has his hands on his head holding glasses, a cigarette in his mouth, and a tired, frustrated expression. The background includes papers, a stack of documents, and the 'NHK WORLD' logo, indicating the image is a screenshot from a broadcast. The meme critiques the stereotype that individuals with southern accents (referred to humorously as 'sounding like you have a mouth full of cornbread') are assumed ignorant despite being well-educated.

A multi-panel meme featuring a man progressively applying clown makeup, paired with text critiquing the irony of supporting AI art. The panels read: 1) 'Ragebait artists for having their jobs automated' (man wiping face), 2) 'Buy numerous subscriptions to AI art models' (man painting clown eyes), 3) 'Companies begin mass buying out RAM making PC gaming a luxury. Also start doubling down on training AI for more tasks' (man adjusting rainbow wig), 4) 'Get your own job automated and have the overall quality of games drop and make it even more expensive' (full clown makeup). The visual joke uses clown makeup progression to symbolize increasing absurdity of supporting AI art leading to negative consequences for the supporter.

A meme depicting a scene in a computer lab with several people working at computers in the background. In the foreground, a young boy in a blue shirt sits at a computer desk, looking up at a man resembling Mark Zuckerberg. The boy's text reads 'MY DAD TOLD ME YOU'RE SPYING ON US,' and the man responds with 'HE'S NOT YOUR DAD.' The meme satirizes concerns about Meta's data privacy practices by implying the man dismisses the boy's claim by denying the boy's father's authority.

The meme features a screenshot of a real person (likely an actor) with a thoughtful, subtly sinister expression, resting their chin on their hand as if contemplating. Overlaid text at the top labels the character 'Amazon', and bottom text reads 'Fire 16000 people, again'. This mocks Amazon's reputation for large-scale layoffs by framing the company as eagerly embracing 'evil' behavior,呼应 the original title 'How evil can you be? Amazon: yes.'

A meme featuring a Threads post by user 'oni.xxkayxx' that criticizes the replacement of Gregory Bovino with Tom Homan, using the metaphor: 'Replacing Gregory Bovino with Tom Homan is like shitting your pants and changing your shirt.' The image is split into two parts: on the left, a Border Patrol Federal Agent identified as 'G. BOVINO' in uniform with a helmet and tactical gear, standing among other agents; on the right, a man in a suit (presumably Tom Homan) standing outdoors. The post uses sarcasm to imply the replacement is ineffective or superficial.

A two-panel comparison meme. The left panel features the text 'Silent Hill games' above a high-quality photograph of Cristiano Ronaldo with a serious, neutral expression. The right panel features the text 'Silent Hill movies' above the infamous poorly sculpted bronze statue of Ronaldo, known for its distorted facial features and meme status. The visual metaphor humorously implies Silent Hill games are of high quality (like the real Ronaldo) while the movies are of lower quality (like the flawed statue).
