This ironic comparison meme splits readers of the popular sci-fi novel *Project Hail Mary* into two camps: people who did not enjoy the book, and people who did like it. It shows a thumbs-down emoji next to both groups, creating a joke that even fans of the book agree it has significant flaws, leading to a shared negative assessment of at least part of the book regardless of overall opinion.

This image is a screenshot of a Twitter/X thread, where user Alabi posts a question asking to name an industry that would completely collapse within 48 hours if all workers simply did not show up to work on a Monday. Jessica Burbank replies with the blunt, humorous one-line answer 'All of them'. The joke is a relatable commentary on how every modern industry is completely dependent on its regular working staff, and leans into the common widespread feeling of dread and dislike for returning to work on Monday mornings.

This meme uses a popular viral photo template where two young children (a girl holding a crying boy) are pressed against a corner wall, terrified of a black rabbit sitting next to a wooden bucket on the floor. The meme labels the characters to joke about escalating levels of unpopular and controversial pizza toppings: the girl is labeled "People who put corn on pizza", the boy is labeled "People who put anchovies on pizza", and the rabbit (the scary thing the kids fear) is labeled "People who put broccoli on pizza". The joke portrays adding broccoli to pizza as such an unforgivable, unacceptable topping that even people who dislike other controversial pizza toppings are terrified of it, playing on the common ongoing online debate about what toppings belong on pizza.

This two-panel meme contrasts common differing societal expectations and priorities for 25-year-old women versus 25-year-old men. The top panel features a sad, pensive woman lying in bed with text stating she is 25 and still unmarried, reflecting common societal pressure on women to marry by this age. The bottom panel is labeled 'Men at 25' and shows a relaxed man lying contentedly in bed, with text stating his main desire at 25 is to start a brand new Minecraft survival world from scratch. The joke plays on the popular observation that many adult men still prioritize hobby video games over rushing into traditional life milestones like marriage, contrasting the pressure placed on women.

This is a viral meme screenshot that jokes about high inflation making fast food price increases outperform stock market returns. The image shows a screenshot of a verified Twitter post by user Ezzy (@ezzyskii), with text that claims if you had 'held' (invested in) a McChicken over the past 5 years, your return would outperform the S&P 500 stock market index. Below the product photo of McDonald's McChicken sandwich, it lists the sandwich's nutrition (400 Cal) and current price of $5.29, illustrating how much prices have risen due to recent inflation, which is the core of the joke.

This is a single-panel meme imagining life in 2060, after AI-generated art has become the universal standard. It shows an elderly woman using a mobility walker being assisted by a younger granddaughter. The elderly woman reminisces about the past saying "I remember when art was done by humans", and the younger woman responds patronizingly "Sure grandma, let's get you to bed". The joke jokes that within decades, human-created art will become a distant, outdated memory only remembered by the oldest generations, and younger people will dismiss this as nostalgic rambling from the elderly, commenting on the rapid displacement of human artists by AI generative tools.

This is a cute wholesome meme that features a person holding a large armful of fluffy young tabby kittens. The text at the top reads 'how to win my heart:', humorously communicating that gifting this many kittens is the way to win the poster's affection. The image shows around a dozen baby kittens piled together in the holder's arms, with a parked car visible in the outdoor background.

This two-panel satirical meme jokes about perceived excessive pressure on modern western game developers to add racial and LGBTQ+ representation, even when it makes no sense for the game being developed. The top panel opens with the heading 'MODERN WESTERN VIDEO GAMES BE LIKE:', then shows a woman (representing an out-of-touch executive or diversity consultant) asking the game development team 'Can you add more blacks and gays to this game?'. In the bottom panel, one developer replies, 'Lady we are making Tetris' — Tetris is a completely abstract puzzle game with no human characters at all, making the request for representation absurd, and highlighting what the meme frames as unreasonable demands from non-technical management.

This meme depicts a man standing with his back to the camera, holding open the door of an almost completely empty refrigerator, with only a single bottle of milk left on the door shelf. The top text jokes that the person repeatedly opens the empty fridge with the irrational, hopeful expectation that new food will have spawned (appeared out of nowhere) inside since the last time they checked. This pokes fun at a very common, universal relatable behavior many people do when hungry or bored at home.

This is a wholesome, silly anticlimactic pun meme. It opens with text from user fableph that reads 'Hi I have something very important to show you', then shows a drawing of the Grass-type starter Pokemon Turtwig standing centered on a small stage in front of pink curtains, with text at the bottom that says 'carry on'. The joke is a gentle visual pun: Turtwig literally 'carries on' (carries a growing leaf sprout on his back), while the phrase 'carry on' also means to continue proceeding, creating a funny anticlimax.

The image shows a person's hand holding a small purple and silver USB flash drive, which the poster says they found inside a train. Top text on the image reads "Found this in the train!". The USB has a handwritten white label that says "FREG TO COPY THEN PASS ON" (the first word is a misspelling, with a partial correction to make it "FREE"). The post's original title "Look safe" is an ironic joke referencing the common cybersecurity warning that plugging in random unknown USB drives found in public is unsafe, making the title tongue-in-cheek.

This is a humorous pun meme referencing the popular Harry Potter franchise's sixth installment *Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince*. The image shows a Black man wearing a dark wizard-style cloak standing in a frost-covered snowy forest, making a hand gesture towards the camera. Large bold text at the bottom reads 'half-blood prince'; the joke relies on double meaning: in the original Harry Potter canon, 'half-blood' refers to a wizard of mixed Muggle and wizard parentage, while this meme reinterprets the term to refer to a person of mixed racial heritage, recontextualizing the famous title into a new pun.
