This is a three-panel collage meme. The top panel is a screenshot of a verified tweet from NBC4 Columbus stating that a study found 16.4 million Americans incorrectly believe chocolate milk is produced by brown cows, paired with an image of brown chocolate milk jugs next to white regular milk jugs. The middle panel displays text reading 'New Survey Shows Over 16 Million Americans Own Cryptocurrency'. The bottom panel features a close-up of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson making a skeptical, side-eye expression, drawing a parallel between the obviously absurd chocolate milk belief and the cryptocurrency ownership statistic to imply the crypto survey result is equally untrustworthy or ridiculous.

This is a single-panel meme on a plain white background. The fully drawn Pokemon character Bulbasaur stands on the left side of the frame, facing right with a calm, slight smile. Only a tiny partial sliver of a purple shape, implied to be another character, is visible at the far right edge of the frame, intentionally cut off. The visual demonstrates how misinformation spreads: audiences are only given an incomplete, partial view of a subject, leading to unfounded assumptions, rumors, and incorrect information being shared as fact.

This is a satirical meme using a screenshot from the 2022 Pixar animated film *Turning Red*, paired with overlaid text. The image features the character Ming Lee driving a vehicle with a smug, unbothered, self-satisfied smirk directed at the viewer, while smoke and a shocked onlooker are visible outside the car in the background. The top text reads "POV: you're a politician heading home after a long days work", and the bottom text overlaid on the image reads "[Leaves the scene after spreading misinformation]". The joke mocks politicians who spread false information or enact harmful policies, then leave the scene without taking accountability for the damage they have caused, acting completely unbothered by the consequences of their actions.

This meme uses the popular edited distorted version of Patrick Star from *SpongeBob SquarePants*, where Patrick's head is heavily deformed with his own brain protruding out, and thick drool pours from his wide open mouth, with one eye half-closed in a dumbfounded, confused expression. The top text captions the image "When you live in the information age and you're still misinformed", making a self-deprecating joke about how even with unlimited access to factual information online in the modern digital age, many people still remain misinformed or hold incorrect beliefs. The deformed Patrick visual perfectly conveys the feeling of being hopelessly uninformed or gullible despite easy access to correct information.
