This image is a screenshot of a Reddit post from the Australian legal advice subreddit r/AusLegal, asking for legal guidance about an absurd situation. The poster is asking on behalf of a friend, who 'borrowed' (a euphemism for stole) a police car after a night of heavy drinking back in 1998 in New South Wales, Australia. The friend has kept the stolen police car hidden in an old barn on a rural NSW property for over 25 years. Now that the property has been sold and they need to vacate, the poster asks if it is possible to return the stolen car to authorities without facing legal consequences, or if they are better off permanently disposing of the car (implied by the phrase 'dig a very large hole', meaning burying the car to hide it forever). The post went viral due to the wild, unexpected nature of the story.

This is a two-panel comparison meme that jokes about the difference between reactions when someone finds your Instagram versus your Reddit. The left panel shows a cute blushing anime girl holding her cheeks, reacting softly to the line 'i found your instagram', since Instagram is where people typically post polished, public, curated content that they do not mind being seen by people they know in real life. The right panel shows a real man staring at the camera with a shocked, terrified expression, reacting to the line 'i found your reddit', which plays on the common reality that most Reddit users maintain anonymous accounts where they post unfiltered, private, embarrassing, or controversial content that they would never want people they know in real life to discover.

This meme jokes about the Reddit subreddit r/explainitlikeimfive (ELI5), which is dedicated to explaining complex topics in simple terms for beginners. The image edits the heads of four of history's most famous groundbreaking scientists (Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and Enrico Fermi) onto the bodies of four running 5-year-old children, poking fun at the perception that ELI5 explanations are incredibly advanced and knowledgeable, effectively written by genius scientific minds rather than actual 5-year-old children.

This is a single-panel Reddit meme that jokes about the overwhelming feeling of excitement and awe when a Reddit user discovers a new adult porn subreddit, then sorts all posts by the 'top all time' filter to see the best, highest-rated content. The image uses a famous scene from the 2000 film *Cast Away*, showing actor Tom Hanks as Chuck Noland with a shocked, wide-eyed, open-mouthed amazed expression after discovering life-sustaining resources while stranded on a desert island. The golden blurred background reinforces the joke that this discovery is equivalent to striking a rich diamond or gold mine of desired content.

This is a two-part meme using popular meme characters Doge and the crying angry red Wojak to joke about a common frustration among Reddit users: after carefully following all of the r/news subreddit's rules, users still get an unexpected permanent ban from the subreddit moderators. The first panel uses the neutral confused Doge to represent the user who abided by all rules, while the second panel uses the angry crying Wojak to represent the moderators handing out the unfair ban, highlighting common complaints about arbitrary moderation on Reddit.

The meme consists of two main parts: a top text box and a bottom animated image. The top text reads: 'When you're 20 minutes into writing a well worded argument on reddit and suddenly remember you don't give a fuck about any of this'. The bottom image is an animated screenshot showing a close-up of a hand typing on a black keyboard, with visible keys including F11, F12, Y, and Delete. The text humorously captures the relatable experience of investing significant time and effort into crafting an online argument (specifically on Reddit) only to abruptly lose interest and motivation, highlighting the fleeting nature of online engagement and motivation.

The meme depicts a humorous scene where the Grim Reaper, dressed in a black hooded robe and holding a scythe, stands on a white house's porch, knocking on the door. The text 'EMOJIS' is overlaid on the Reaper, personifying emojis as a menacing figure. To the left, a man labeled 'REDDIT USERS' runs towards the house, holding what appears to be a camera or tool, suggesting Reddit users' reactive or wary attitude towards emojis. The illustration style resembles a vintage or classical painting, edited with bold text labels to convey the satirical joke about Reddit users' perceived aversion or overreaction to emojis.

A 6-panel comic meme depicting two medieval-style characters reacting to posting a meme. The orange-cloaked character initially instructs to 'drop the meme,' then panics after 3 minutes of no upvotes, demanding deletion. The blue-cloaked character begins deleting, but the orange-cloaked hesitates upon seeing 2 upvotes and a comment, only to ultimately demand 'Downvote. Delete it.' The comic satirizes the anxiety and overreaction of meme creators to social media engagement metrics, using medieval imagery (winch as a metaphor for posting/deleting, telescope for monitoring engagement) to humorously exaggerate the 'mental gymnastics' of seeking validation through upvotes.

A two-panel meme depicting a swimming pool scene that satirizes Reddit comment engagement. The top panel shows a woman lifting a happy child out of the pool, labeled with 'Random single sentence comments & gifs' and high engagement metrics (12.3k upvotes, 4 awards, 1k replies). Below them, another child cries in the water with 'Well articulated comments explaining with data points' and low engagement (12 upvotes, 14 replies). The bottom panel shows a skeleton at the pool bottom labeled 'Comments having different opinion opposing the reddit hive mind. Factually correct but unpopular opinions' with negative engagement (125 downvotes). The visual metaphor suggests that superficial comments rise to the top while thoughtful or contrarian comments sink.
