A pixel art-style image featuring a character resembling Donald Trump with blonde hair, dressed in a purple cloak, set against a solid orange background. Below the character, bold text reads: 'TRUMP: OIL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US.' The design parodies the classic 1990s 'All Your Base Are Belong To Us' meme, a mistranslation from the video game *Zero Wing*, replacing 'all your base' with 'oil your base'—likely a pun combining political 'base' support with oil industry references.

An illustration depicting two individuals in orange prison jumpsuits inside a jail cell. The cell features metal bars with yellow lighting on the left, a gray wall, and a bed with a gray mattress and white pillow. The front individual sits on the bed with legs apart, hands resting on their lap, wearing black shoes with white laces, and has a mustache with styled hair. The second individual sits behind them, leaning in with one hand on the front individual's shoulder, wearing sunglasses, earrings, and black shoes. The text at the top reads 'IT'S OK... THEY TOOK MY OIL TOO', suggesting a satirical context about shared loss of oil resources.

A 'starterpack' meme collaging six images to satirically depict stereotypical traits of a 6-year-old child at a restaurant. The top text reads '6 year old kid at a restaurant starterpack'. Images include: (1) a child with a runny nose wiping their face on their sleeve (caption: 'Constant Runny Nose/Wipes on sleeve'); (2) a child with mouth open, appearing to breathe heavily (caption: 'Heavily Breathing out of mouth'); (3) a green tablet case labeled 'Weird iPad Cover'; (4) a dirty, stained T-shirt (caption: 'T-Shirt that hasn't been washed since 5000 BC'); (5) a bowl of macaroni and cheese (caption: 'Only orders mac and cheese'); and (6) a Paw Patrol character toy (caption: 'Paw Patrol at full volume').

A meme featuring a world map with select regions highlighted in purple. Above the map is text that reads: 'The "rules based world order" is basically a dead group chat with these countries posting "guys???" every now and then and being left on read'. The highlighted regions likely represent countries associated with the 'rules based world order,' and the meme uses the analogy of a 'dead group chat' to satirize the ineffectiveness or lack of engagement in this concept, with the countries being 'left on read' (a term meaning messages are seen but not responded to) when they attempt to engage.

A meme featuring two sections: top text stating 'Side effects may include bleeding from the ears, seizures and cannibalism' followed by 'People in the ad:'; below is a stock photograph of four cheerful people at an outdoor picnic. One person plays an acoustic guitar while others clap and smile, with food and greenery in the background. The humor stems from the absurd contrast between the severe, alarming side effects listed and the unrealistic, joyful scene depicted, critiquing how advertisements often downplay risks with overly positive imagery.

A meme featuring the bold title 'Every anime ever' at the top, followed by a 2x3 collage of six distinct anime-style background scenes. The scenes include: a sunlit outdoor staircase with red railings and blue buildings under a cloudy sky; a rooftop with a glass fence and clear blue sky; a long, empty school hallway with white walls and green flooring; a grassy hillside with stone stairs; a traditional hot spring (onsen) with steam rising from rocks and a wooden structure; and a rural street at sunset with power lines, houses, and distant mountains. The collage humorously highlights recurring, generic background settings commonly used across various anime series.

A meme that humorously condenses a philosopher's life into three stages: Birth, existential questioning (represented by a chubby, AI-generated baby with a neutral expression wearing a yellow outfit and hat, captioned 'y tho'), and Death. The top text reads 'Life of a philosopher in a nutshell', with stages listed numerically. The baby's contemplative appearance paired with the slang 'y tho' (short for 'why though') satirizes the philosopher's preoccupation with existential questions.

A three-panel vertical meme critiquing double standards in societal perceptions of kidnapping. The top panel features a woman with long hair, a decorative headpiece, and red lighting, with yellow text: 'If I kidnap someone, I'm a monster, a thug a criminal'. The middle panel shows a close-up of a white eagle with a yellow beak and intense eyes, accompanied by text: 'If you kidnap someone, you take 300 bl barrels of oil worth $17 trillion'. The bottom panel returns to the woman, now looking at the eagle, with text: 'That doesn't seem fair'. The humor lies in contrasting how individual kidnapping is condemned as criminal, while (implied) large-scale, resource-driven kidnapping (symbolized by the eagle) is normalized or overlooked.

The image features a satirical modification of the Microsoft logo. Set against a plain gray background, the left side displays the iconic Microsoft four-color square emblem (red top-left, green top-right, blue bottom-left, yellow bottom-right). To the right of the logo, the text 'Microslop' is rendered in a white, sans-serif font closely resembling Microsoft's official typeface, replacing the original 'Microsoft' text. The humor stems from the pun on 'slop' (meaning messy or low-quality) substituting 'soft' (from 'software'), implicitly mocking perceived poor quality or unreliability of Microsoft products.

A circular flow diagram meme depicting a humorous loop involving Nicolás Maduro: Starting with 'Maduro is in Venezuela', the flow proceeds to 'The U.S. military kidnaps Maduro', then 'Maduro is in the U.S. illegally', followed by 'ICE kidnaps Maduro and deports him to Venezuela', and back to the start, creating an infinite cycle. The title 'Can we hook up a generator to this?' implies the loop is so perpetual it could generate energy, adding to the satirical tone.

A screenshot of a tweet from user 'Oilfield Rando' on X.com (formerly Twitter) featuring a critical comment about Netflix's race swaps. The tweet includes two side-by-side images: the left image is a still of 'The Nun,' a pale, menacing horror character from the 2018 film 'The Nun' with dark makeup and a nun's habit; the right image shows a person taking a selfie with a red 'Supreme' phone case, wearing a brown headscarf and an orange jacket, displaying an exaggerated surprised expression. The meme humorously (or controversially) suggests an absurdly extreme race swap by contrasting the original fictional character with an unrelated real person.

A meme parodying the Trojan Horse myth in an educational context. It depicts a large wooden horse labeled 'physics' being presented by a 'physics teacher' to a group labeled 'students' at a gate. Inside the horse, three small animated characters with smiling faces are labeled 'maths', referencing how physics often relies on mathematical foundations, framed as a 'sneaky' inclusion. The background features a clear sky and distant landscape, emphasizing the scene's comedic reimagining of the ancient myth for school subject humor.
