This image is a screenshot of a Twitter/X thread containing a viral sarcastic joke. First, verified user Eddy Elfenbein shares a passive income tip: if you invest $3 million into an 8% Treasury bond, you will earn $20,000 per month without doing any work. Another verified user, Young Parik, replies with the sarcastic line "Finally some advice for the common man". The humor comes from the irony that nearly all regular / common people do not have $3 million available to invest, making the original advice completely out of touch and useless for average people, which the reply highlights with sarcasm.

This image is a screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/Money subreddit. The original poster is a 44-year-old restaurant owner who owns four fast casual locations, and he questions how young people (especially high school-aged kids and his own entry-level employees) can afford to order food delivery via services like DoorDash multiple times per week. He explains that delivery adds massive markup and fees: a $16 poké bowl purchased in-restaurant ends up costing nearly $30 after delivery fees and tip. He notes even his own employees who get a free meal at work when they work any shift still regularly order other restaurant delivery to the store, despite only making $16 an hour. The underlying point, echoed by the 9Gag repost context, is that many people who order delivery frequently don't realize how much money they waste compared to preparing food at home.

This is a two-panel dialogue meme using characters from the adult animated series *Invincible*. The top panel features Mark Grayson looking towards his father, with overlaid text asking "GOT ANY FATHERLY ADVICE?". The bottom panel features Mark's father Nolan Grayson (Omni-Man) responding with the advice "STEAM SPRING SALE DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BUY SOMETHING IF YOU DON'T LIKE ANYTHING.". The meme jokes about the common impulse among PC gamers to impulsively buy games they don't actually want or need just because they are discounted during Valve's seasonal Steam Spring Sale, delivering sensible, fatherly advice to avoid wasting money on unnecessary purchases.
