This is a 4-panel meme using the popular side-eye interviewer stock photo template. In the first panel, an interviewer asks a job candidate "Your greatest weakness?". In the second panel, the candidate replies "Interpreting the semantics of a question but ignoring the pragmatics". In the third panel, the interviewer asks "Could you give me an example?", and in the fourth panel the candidate answers "Yes, I could". The joke is that the candidate immediately demonstrates his stated weakness: he correctly understands the literal semantic meaning of the question asking if he is capable of giving an example, but ignores the pragmatic real-world intent that the interviewer wants him to actually *provide* the example, not just confirm he can. The interviewer's final annoyed, side-eye expression emphasizes the absurdity of the candidate's unhelpful literal answer.

This meme is set in a classroom environment, with a young man wearing a green plaid shirt sitting on a stool next to a whiteboard that has a projected slide displayed on it. The text on the slide reads 'She's a 10/10 but is obsessed with harry potter so she's a 9 3/4'. The joke is a pun referencing Platform 9 3/4, the iconic secret train platform for Hogwarts students from the Harry Potter franchise. It plays on the popular internet '1-10 attractiveness rating' meme format, substituting the usual reduced score with the well-known Harry Potter platform number as a playful joke about extreme Harry Potter fandom.

The meme titled "Psyching out the psychic" presents a relatable gaming community joke contrasting non-gamers (called "normies") and experienced gamers. The top text states the normies' claim that you cannot identify which exact boss a player is fighting just by looking at their game console, followed by "Gamers:" above a photo of an original Sony PlayStation 1 console with a controller plugged into port 2 instead of the standard port 1. This setup is an instantly recognizable reference to the iconic Psycho Mantis boss fight in the 1998 PlayStation game *Metal Gear Solid*: Psycho Mantis can read all controller input from port 1, so the only way to defeat him is to move the controller to port 2, "psyching out" the psychic boss as the title references. Long-time gamers immediately recognize the boss being fought just from seeing the console's port usage, proving the normies' claim wrong.

This is a two-part science-themed meme. The top half features a screenshot of Daenerys Targaryen from *Game of Thrones*, with 'RNA' labeled on her left shoulder and 'DNA' labeled on her right shoulder. The off-the-shoulder cut of her dress places the two labels on opposite sides of her open neckline, making a visual pun on the double-stranded structure of nucleic acids that only biology/medical students would easily recognize. The bottom half includes a laughing Wojak (rage comic) drawing alongside text that reads 'Only medical student will understand', framing this as an inside joke for students in medical and biology fields.
