This two-panel meme uses the popular 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' template to express relatable post-pandemic anxiety around illness. The first panel shows a normal, smiling Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr from Pixar's The Incredibles) next to text reading 'You wake up with a sore throat', representing mild initial concern about a minor physical symptom. The second panel features the distorted, unsettling uncanny version of Mr. Incredible paired with text reading 'It doesn't go away after a few hours', conveying rising worry that the symptom indicates a more serious illness like COVID-19. The meme's title references the common sentiment that many people expected frequent seasonal illness and COVID waves to stop circulating after the month of May, only for illnesses to continue appearing unexpectedly.

This is an image macro meme using a close-up still of Cillian Murphy portraying J. Robert Oppenheimer from the 2023 biographical film *Oppenheimer*. The text at the top reads 'My brain when it tries to remember anything that happened within the last 4 years:', and the text at the bottom is a humorous parody of Oppenheimer's famous quote referencing the Bhagavad Gita, rewritten to: 'Now I've become disassociation. The forgetter of all things'. The meme jokes about the common experience of having poor memory for events occurring in the last few years, often attributed to living through repeated global crises, high stress, or dissociation, aligning with the original post's observation that most memories from 2022 to the present feel lost. A 'made with mematic' watermark is visible in the bottom left corner of the image.

This is a two-panel relatable economic meme using the popular 'reaching for a goal interrupted' format. In the first panel, a happy gray cartoon character excitedly reaches for a large yellow ball labeled 'Good Salary Job', after the caption notes this is after surviving COVID-19 and AI-related job disruption. In the second panel, a large pink character labeled 'Oil price' pulls the gray character back from the goal, so only a smaller ball labeled just 'Salary' remains. The meme jokes that after overcoming multiple major crises (pandemic, AI job displacement), rising oil prices and resulting economic inflation still ruin the chance of landing a well-paying job, leaving workers with only low or stagnant pay.
