This is a vertical multi-panel webcomic followed by a closing message segment. The comic opens with a male gunman holding a young boy hostage, pointing a gun at the boy and demanding a woman give him the password or he will shoot the child. The woman explains she implanted a chip in her son's brain that alters his perception of time: if a fatal projectile hits him, the chip will activate in his final moments and simulate an entire lifetime of perfect, unbroken happiness for him, free of hardship, struggle, or suffering. When the gunman argues this simulated lifetime is not real, the woman counters that it is a perfect existence free of all pain. The gunman then threatens to shoot the woman instead, only for her to reveal she also has the same chip implanted. The gunman, surprised, asks if he can get one of the chips for himself, at which point the woman shoots him. The scene cuts to the boy happily hugging his mother, thanking her for saving him and telling her he loves her. The woman then realizes the boy was also hit by the shot she fired at the gunman, as he has no blood on him and is not crying, and the boy confirms he is perfectly happy with no pain. The comic closes with the Truth Potato mascot, a simple cartoon potato character, paired with the message: 'The life you're living right now is a dream for many people.'

This is a 2x2 grid meme that uses the popular Marie Kondo 'does it spark joy' template. In the top row, Marie Kondo is shown smiling with the caption 'This one sparks joy' paired with the right panel text 'Dying in my sleep'. In the bottom row, Marie Kondo is shown gesturing to reject something with the caption 'This one does not spark joy' paired with the right panel text 'Living a long life broke af'.

This meme is captured from first-person perspective on a green motorcycle, showing a large, deep water-filled pothole directly ahead on the road. The motorcycle's digital dashboard displays a current speed of 105 km/h. Overlaid text says 'Can't wait to see my wife and kids', paired with crying emojis, funeral wilted rose emojis, and praying hand emojis. The dark humor joke implies the rider is about to crash into the pothole and die, referencing that he will 'see his wife and kids' in the afterlife instead of a happy living reunion.

This is a darkly humorous meme screenshot that combines an ironic real news story with a visual joke. The image is split into two sections: the left shows the heavily vandalized Donald Trump star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the right shows a portrait of Jeffrey Epstein. The on-image text explains that the man recently arrested for vandalizing Trump's star was bailed out by the same person who vandalized the star back in 2016. The joke implies the 2016 vandal is Jeffrey Epstein, who died in 2019, leaning into existing conspiracy theories about Epstein to create a dark ironic punchline, with the original title asking who will bail the arrested man out in 2036 to extend the joke.

now who is gonna bail me out in 2036?

This is a dark humor relatable meme that jokes about common irrational paranoia people have while sleeping: that simply changing your sleeping position could somehow cause your death. The top text sets up the joke stating 'Me: *Changes sleeping position* Everyone at my funeral:', and the image below shows an edited, heavily distorted Shrek leaning aggressively toward the viewer, with three men standing in the background of a dark funeral setting, representing the shocked, stunned reaction of attendees at the funeral over the absurdly trivial cause of death.

A digital or traditional painting depicting a skeleton wearing a red coat against a dark, textured background. The skeleton has a neutral, slightly grim expression with hollow eye sockets and exposed teeth. Its right hand is positioned as if holding a cane, reinforcing the 'blind man' context from the text. To the right of the skeleton, white text overlays the image, presenting a narrative: 'The Blind man said, "One day I will regain my sight." Everyone laughed except the deaf man.' The joke relies on dark humor irony: the blind man (skeleton, implying deceased) claims he will regain sight, which others find absurd (hence laughing), while the deaf man, unable to hear the statement, does not laugh.

A two-panel meme featuring an animated duck character (likely Daisy Duck) in a bedroom setting. The top text reads: 'when you hear something go bump in the dark but then you remember you don't care whether you live or die'. The left panel shows the duck sitting up in bed, looking alert and concerned, wearing a pink top with a blue blanket. The right panel shows the duck lying back down, appearing indifferent and relaxed, with head on the pillow. The meme humorously contrasts the initial reaction to a scary sound with subsequent apathy towards one's own safety.

A meme featuring a photograph of a person in a marching band uniform holding a clarinet. The top text reads 'They laughed when I didn't make front page' and the bottom text reads 'I laughed when they didn't make it home,' creating a darkly humorous contrast between a minor failure (not making front page) and a severe outcome (others not returning home). The person has a serious, neutral expression, standing upright with the instrument.

A black-and-white cartoon depicting a vulture lying in a hospital bed with an IV drip, appearing uncomfortable. Six other vultures are perched on the bed's footboard, staring intently at the patient. The caption at the bottom reads: 'I know you're my family, but I don't find these visits comforting.' The humor stems from the irony of vultures—scavengers culturally associated with death and decay—visiting as 'family,' which unsettles the patient rather than providing comfort.

The meme consists of two text sections above a photograph. The top text reads 'Me:*making a sandcastle with my grandpa*' and the middle text reads 'Everyone else at the crematorium:'. Below is a photo of two older men with confused, concerned expressions, likely reacting to the absurd scenario. The humor arises from the darkly comedic contrast between the innocent activity (making a sandcastle) and the grim location (crematorium), implying the grandpa is deceased and the 'me' is interacting with his ghost, which others find confusing.
