This is a 2x2 four-panel meme with the top title "WHAT THE INTERNET HAS TAUGHT ME". The top left panel displays a line graph illustrating the Dunning-Kruger effect, a well-known cognitive bias. The top right panel features a still from *The Lord of the Rings* alongside a fun trivia fact that actor Viggo Mortensen, who played Aragorn, broke two toes while filming the helmet-kicking scene shown. The bottom left panel contains a long, bleak critical text about how capitalism erodes human connection, reduces life to monetized interactions, causes widespread loneliness, and traps people in cycles of exploitation in the name of achievement. The bottom right panel shows a photo of a wild adult opossum carrying many baby opossums on its back, paired with the text stating opossums are actually awesome. The humor and core point of the meme come from the contrast between the heavy, academic, or somber facts in the other three panels, with the wholesome, lighthearted opossum fact framed as the most valuable takeaway from internet learning.

This is a 4-panel edited comic meme. Panel 1: A cartoon man asks a humanoid figure whose face is labeled 'Free [...] test' why it always wears that mask, with 'Free online test' written above the speech bubble. Panel 2: The man reaches to pull off the figure's mask. Panel 3: When the mask is lifted, the figure's actual face underneath is revealed to be labeled 'Free test, paid result'. Panel 4: The man puts the mask back on the figure, saying 'LET'S KEEP THIS ON.' The joke satirizes predatory free online IQ or personality test services that attract users with free access claims, but require payment to view full test results, implying the highest intelligence choice is to avoid using these services entirely.

Turns out the real IQ test is to not take the test in the first place

This is a two-panel reaction meme using the Dipper Pines 'This is worthless' template from the animated show Gravity Falls. The first panel shows a pair of hands holding a piece of paper printed with the text 'Someone answering to a post I made assuming I'm from the USA', followed by the line 'Woah.'. The second panel features Dipper Pines, labeled 'ME, A NON-AMERICAN', grinning widely while holding the paper and saying 'This is worthless!'. The joke highlights the relatable frustration of non-American internet users who frequently encounter US-centric assumptions in online public discussions, where responses often only apply to American contexts and are completely irrelevant to non-US users.

Thanks for the advice, I guess...

This is a two-panel comedic meme. The first panel opens with a line of text attributing a statement to everyone: "You can't make a meme using only text". Below that, under the label "Me:", there is a fully recognizable Among Us crewmate character constructed entirely out of repeated text labels for each of its component parts: "mask" for the visor, "right glove" and "left glove" for the hands, "skin" for the body, "background" for the surrounding space, plus the iconic "W R" text on the right side of the character, with the phrase "It's showtime..." overlayed on the crewmate's body. The next line of text shows follow-up from everyone: "Ok you made one, but you won't have enough free time to make another". The second panel, labeled "Always me, with no social life:", displays the popular viral "observe" meme creature, also constructed entirely out of repeated text labels for its components: "shell" for its pink outer layer, "sky" for its blue upper section, "face" for its facial area, "arm" for its appendages, "claw" for its claws, "sand" for the ground below, and "barbell" for its grey lower section, with the word "observe." overlayed at the bottom of the creature. The humor stems from the joke that people with no social life have an abundance of free time to spend on overly elaborate, trivial projects just to prove other people wrong.

This is a reaction meme using footage from a classic Attitude Era WWF (now WWE) wrestling segment. The top text reads 'Shitposters when Pissposters arrive', making an absurd comedic comparison: people who post low-effort, nonsensical content online (shitposters) are framed as being shocked and intimidated by an even more ridiculous, made-up group of low-quality content creators called 'pissposters'. The visual shows WWE chairman Vince McMahon standing outside a wrestling ring looking shocked, as the wrestler The Undertaker rises from a casket placed in the ring.

This is a 4-panel satirical meme. In the first panel, a simple cartoon stick figure leader stands on a cliff edge addressing a large crowd, stating the phrases 'SEXUAL ASSAULT, DIED, PORN'. The second panel shows the crowd looking angry, holding pitchforks and weapons, prepared to reject these terms. In the third panel, the leader rephrases the same three concepts using common social media euphemisms: 'SA, UNALIVED, CORN'. The fourth panel shows the same crowd now smiling and looking approvingly at the speaker. The meme jokes about the absurdity of overly strict social media content moderation policies, which penalize users for using accurate terms for sensitive topics, forcing people to use nonsensical watered-down euphemisms to avoid algorithmic takedowns, even when discussing important serious subjects.

This is a two-panel reaction meme. The top panel uses a scene from the animated series *Dan Vs.* where the character Dan is pushing a person out of his apartment door, with a standard YouTube playback error message overlaid on the upper half of the panel, reading 'An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: j94zduZMbpZvG5M-) Learn More', implying the error is triggered by the use of an ad blocker. The bottom panel shows Dan looking visibly angry and frustrated, with bold white capitalized text below him that states 'I'M STILL NOT TURNING OFF AD BLOCK'. The joke expresses widespread user frustration with YouTube's anti-ad-blocker policies, showing that many users would prefer to deal with playback failures instead of disabling their ad blockers to watch content.

This meme is a screenshot of a post from X (formerly Twitter) user @mothcharm, whose display name is 'sword' with a trans pride flag and 'SHOP OPEN' tag in their handle. The post text reads 'internet going down, mutuals hop on', placed above a screenshot of the classic Nintendo DS local chat room selection menu. The menu shows four available chat rooms: Chat Room A has 3 of 16 possible users joined, Chat Room B has 1 user, and Chat Rooms C and D are empty, with buttons to go back or join the selected room. The joke plays on nostalgia for the Nintendo DS's local offline chat feature, humorously proposing that mutual close online friends use this old system to stay in contact when the wider internet is not working.

This is an image macro meme featuring a photograph of the late silverback gorilla Harambe, who has a stern, judgmental expression as he faces directly toward the viewer. Bold white text is overlaid at the bottom of the image, reading 'AND THE PROPHECY SAID THAT AFTER 10 YEARS OF GLOBAL TURMOIL, HARAMBE SHALL RETURN TO JUDGE THE WICKED.' The joke relies on the long-running, widespread internet meme culture that has revered Harambe as a semi-satirical folk figure ever since his death at the Cincinnati Zoo in 2016, humorously framing him as a divine figure that will return to hold people accountable for the chaotic state of the world a decade after his passing.

This is a two-part reaction meme. The top text poses the question "How are Harambe memes still popular?", followed by the label "Me:" to indicate the poster's reaction. The reaction image is an edited scene from the 1993 film The Sandlot: the ghost of Babe Ruth, originally in the scene, is edited to have the face of Harambe the gorilla, and glows brightly as he stands in a doorway facing a person whose back is to the viewer. The text at the bottom of the image reads "Heroes get remembered, but legends never die", implying that Harambe has become a legendary figure in internet culture whose popularity persists through memes years after his death.

This is a two-panel 'reject/approve' reaction meme featuring the character Geordi La Forge from *Star Trek: The Next Generation*. The top panel shows Geordi holding his open palm out in a rejecting, disapproving gesture, paired with text reading 'PAYING FOR A GIRL'S ONLYFANS'. The bottom panel shows Geordi pointing forward in an approving, endorsing gesture, paired with text reading 'GOING TO ONLYFANS LEAK SITES TO SEE IT FOR FREE'. The meme is a pun on the common phrase 'work smarter, not harder', recontextualized with the slang term 'goon' (referring to extended sessions of masturbating to online adult content), to joke about choosing free pirated access to OnlyFans content over paying for official subscriptions.
