This meme consists of two parts: a block of text at the top, followed by a screenshot from the ending of the 1997 film *Titanic*. The top text points out that in the film's ending, the character Rose reunites in the afterlife with Jack, the poor young 'bad boy' she had a brief passionate affair with at age 18 (cheating on her wealthy fiancé with him), instead of with the husband she spent most of her life with and who fathered her children. The image below shows the iconic afterlife reunion scene, where Jack and Rose stand face to face looking at each other affectionately, with other passengers who died on the Titanic watching them from the surrounding balconies. The meme uses this detail from the film to argue the point stated in its title, that conventional lifelong marriage and having children do not necessarily bring women the most happiness, compared to the intense romantic connection of young love.

Just shows that marriage and kids don’t make women happy

This is a single-panel reaction meme using the widely known Leonardo DiCaprio as Calvin Candie from *Django Unchained* template. The layout places text above and below the movie still: the top text reads "Apologize when you're wrong." The middle image shows DiCaprio dressed in a formal 19th-century suit, holding a glass of dark alcoholic beverage, with a smug, condescending laughing expression as if delivering a blunt, snarky hard truth. The bottom text follows with "Stop looking for quotes that support your stupidity." The joke calls out the common toxic behavior of people refusing to take accountability for their mistakes, instead searching for out-of-context quotes or advice to validate their poor choices rather than simply apologizing when they are in the wrong.

This meme uses the widely recognized Lisa Simpson presentation template from the animated sitcom *The Simpsons*. Lisa stands on a stage holding a small note, presenting a projected slide to an unseen audience. The text on the slide argues that there should be a separate, distinct term for when wealthy or famous people donate to charity primarily to receive a tax write-off, rather than out of genuine altruistic intent. The joke critiques the performative, self-serving charity often engaged in by rich public figures that prioritizes their own financial benefit over supporting marginalized groups or charitable causes.

This is a relatable opinion meme that uses the classic Lisa Simpson presentation template from *The Simpsons*. Lisa Simpson stands at the front of an auditorium in front of a projection screen that displays text stating: "Once you actually learn how to cook... you start to realize a lot of these restaurants are heavily over rated." The meme expresses the common viewpoint that after learning to cook good food at home, most restaurant meals feel overpriced, overhyped, and not worth the cost compared to homemade food.

A four-panel meme featuring a red-haired child and Thanos from Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War. The top-left panel shows the child asking, 'Did you share your hot take online?' The top-right panel shows Thanos labeled 'Hopeful Redditor' responding, 'Yes.' The bottom-left panel has the child asking, 'What did it cost?' and the bottom-right panel shows Thanos replying, 'My karma... all of it.' The meme humorously depicts a Reddit user losing their karma after posting an unpopular opinion, referencing Thanos' iconic 'What did it cost?' line from the movie.
