This is an edgy two-panel meme posted to 9GAG with the original title 'We need to go back'. The top panel shows a screenshot of a Euronews headline stating 'The IQ of Europeans is dropping due to technology, say researchers', paired with a stock photo of a person drafting a document to imply this is the official study conclusion. The bottom panel has large text reading 'THE TECHNOLOGY:' above a photo of a yellow inflatable raft. The joke relies on a deliberately misleading misinterpretation of the headline: instead of referring to digital technology as readers would initially assume, the meme implies the 'technology' in question is the inflatable boats used by migrants entering Europe, pushing a controversial anti-immigration talking point that claims migrant inflows are lowering average European IQ. The original title 'We need to go back' further implies support for reversing immigration policies to stop this purported trend.

This meme is framed as a screenshot of a BBC news report. The top of the image displays the BBC logo and a news headline that reads "US strikes Iran after attack on cargo ship". Below the headline, there is a widely used viral photo of an orange tabby cat leaning back against a wooden dining chair, mouth wide open as if shouting in exasperation. Overlaid on the cat photo is the text "ma! they're fighting again!". The joke frames the serious geopolitical conflict between the US and Iran as childish petty fighting, with the cat representing the exasperated general public reacting to the recurring global tensions between the two nations.

This is a satirical meme showing an edited photo of a CNN breaking news segment. The segment displays an image of Russian president Vladimir Putin, with a sensationalized headline reading "PUTIN MAY HAVE TIES TO RUSSIA". The joke relies on the extreme obviousness of this fact, as Putin is the long-serving head of state of Russia, making the headline pointlessly redundant and absurd when presented as a groundbreaking breaking news revelation. The meme's title frames this uselessly obvious statement as a major helpful lead for the FBI, leaning into sarcastic humor about sensationalized, obvious mainstream news reporting.

This is an edited meme screenshot of a television news broadcast from Argentinian news channel C5N, featuring three live human news presenters standing on a blue studio set. Behind them, a large screen displays a chibi-style illustration of popular Vocaloid character Hatsune Miku. The core joke of the meme is a bold red news ticker at the bottom of the screen that reads 'GOD DISCOVERED IN BRAZIL', humorously framing Hatsune Miku as a newly discovered divine figure in Brazil. Partial Portuguese text referencing marriage is also overlaid near the screen displaying Miku.

This is a humorous single-panel edited meme, titled 'Groundhog Strait'. It features actor Bill Murray, famous for his lead role in the 1993 comedy film *Groundhog Day* where his character is trapped in an infinite time loop reliving the same day repeatedly, edited to appear as a field news reporter. He stands on a rocky coastal overlook facing a strait with a cargo ship visible in the water behind him, and a news microphone marked with a Channel 9 logo is held up to him. The text at the top of the meme reads 'Well, the Strait of Hormuz is closed. Again.' The core joke is a pun combining 'Groundhog Day' and 'Strait' to create the title 'Groundhog Strait', referencing the frequently recurring real-world news events of shipping disruptions and temporary closures of the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz, making the repeated event feel like the time loop premise of the *Groundhog Day* film.
