This is a news meme shared on 9Gag with the sarcastic title "My fellow viking, the tusken raiders all over the place", where "viking" is used as a tongue-in-cheek reference to Swedish people, and "tusken raiders" (a violent fictional alien species from Star Wars) refers to dangerous domestic criminals. The graphic reports on Swedish gangster Arran Acib Ahmed, highlighting the stark difference in his criminal sentencing across two countries: he only served 16 months in prison in Sweden for committing murder, but now faces 20 years in prison in Poland for robbing a Norwegian tourist. The visual includes footage of Ahmed being arrested by police, a circular inset headshot of Ahmed, Swedish and Polish national flags paired with text noting the sentencing difference, social media interaction counters (6,000 likes, 900 comments, 456 shares) at the top, and a Visegrad24 watermark.

This is a two-panel candid photograph set taken on the set of the upcoming Highlander reboot film in Poland. The left panel shows actor Henry Cavill, who is a known enthusiastic public fan of the Warhammer 40k franchise, grinning widely with excitement behind a set barrier as a fan hands him an Adeptus Custodes model kit, the exact Warhammer 40k faction he publicly plays. The right panel shows Cavill reacting with visible delight as he engages with the fan, with other film crew members standing in the background near set steps.

This is a screenshot of a public Facebook post from user Thom Milner shared in the "Krakow Expats" group for expats living in Krakow, Poland. The post is a confused inquiry from the expat poster, who misheard the Polish imperative verb "hodź" (pronounced similarly to "Hodge", meaning "come here") as a common dog name. The poster recounts seeing a woman in a park call out "Hodge" to recall her first runaway dog, then "Hodge 2" to recall the second, and expresses confusion about why "Hodge" is such a popular dog name in Poland and why the second dog does not have a unique name, comparing it to naming a son after his father. The humor derives from the poster's complete lack of awareness that the woman was giving a command to the dogs, not calling them by their names.

A screenshot of a tweet from user 'Rock Solid' (@ShitpostRock) with the text 'What the FUCK is going on in Poland?' Below the tweet is an image of a large, military-style mech (robot) with a red and white Polish flag draped over its head. The mech is positioned inside what appears to be an aircraft hangar, surrounded by soldiers in green berets and military camouflage uniforms. The soldiers are standing and interacting near the mech, which has a rugged, mechanical design with visible weapons and armor plating. The tweet expresses humorous shock at the absurdity of a real-life Polish military mech, playing on the trope of fictional giant robots from media like 'Metal Gear'.
