This satirical meme visualizes the classic flat-Earth conspiracy model, depicting Earth as a thick flat disc floating in starry outer space. A cyan highlighted zoom callout points to the vertical rocky side wall of the disc Earth, zooming in to show two mountain goats standing on this vertical edge. The joke plays on the common flat-Earth conspiracy claim that Earth has a giant wall at its outer edge, and pokes fun at NASA's Artemis moon exploration mission by implying the mission accidentally confirmed the flat-Earth model by finding goats living on the edge wall.

The flat-earthers have finally won. Thank you, Artemis

This meme jokes about the common unrealistic dramatic trope in films where rain is perfectly timed to start falling exactly during a main character's loved one's funeral to amp up the emotion. It exaggerates how much impossibly complex calculation would be required to get this timing perfect, by covering the foreground with dozens of complicated advanced math formulas over an intensely focused character's face. The humor comes from poking fun at how forced and unrealistic this perfectly timed dramatic weather is in movie plots.

This is a popular 'Nobody:' format meme joking about YouTube's policy change that hides public dislike counts on comments and videos. The meme sets up that no one asked the question, and the YouTube comments dislike button itself responds with the line 'I serve no purpose'. The joke highlights that after YouTube removed public display of dislike counts, the dislike button lost its main functional purpose for most users. It uses a scene from the film *The Death of Stalin* where a character delivers the deadpan line while shaking hands.

This meme jokes about the increasingly absurd state of 2020s internet culture, using a still of a young Nollywood child actor sitting formally at a conference table, focused on reviewing papers with a contemplative, confused expression. The top text reads 'History students in 2086 when they get to the Iranian LEGOfied AI slop diss tracks of 2026:', which satirizes how bizarre viral internet content and online drama has become, implying that even the strangest 2020s internet phenomena will be studied as history by future students, who will have to grapple with understanding the nonsensical context of this content.

This is a 3-row multi-panel meme documenting an absurd protest after female esports hosts received online criticism. The top row shows two different female esports hosts sitting cross-legged at a professional esports broadcast desk, with overlaid text explaining they were "CRITICIZED BECAUSE SHE'S SEEN AS DRESSING FOR THE MALE GAZE" after online attacks over their outfits. The middle row shows an all-male cast where the original female host's seat is now occupied by a person fully covered in black holding the exact same cross-legged pose, with overlaid text reading "PROVE IT, IT WAS HER OWN DECISION BY BECOME BLACK", showing the team's protest against the unfair criticism arguing outfit choice is personal. The bottom row shows both male casters have changed into elaborate feminine dresses (one floral lolita, one traditional Chinese feminine style), while the third seat remains the all-black protest figure, with text "EVERYONE JOINING" showing all casters participating. The meme uses this absurd escalation to mock unfair criticism of women's clothing choices.

This is a satirical edited political meme, a composite image showing a traditional artistic depiction of Jesus Christ embracing former US President Donald Trump, who stands in front of a microphone with his eyes closed against a subtle American flag background. The text caption below the image reads "Elder Statesman with Severe Dementia Being Comforted by His Doctor", with the visual joke being that Jesus (a spiritual figure, not a medical doctor) is labeled as the doctor. This implies that Trump's advanced age and purported dementia have progressed so far that he only needs spiritual comfort rather than medical treatment, a critical jab at Trump's mental fitness for public office. The meme carries the original title "Thoughts and Prayers", referencing the common phrase that is often used sarcastically in political contexts.

This is a satirical meme that contrasts the expectation of media companies with actual consumer sentiment. The top text explains the image shows how streaming services and video game companies expect consumers to feel after telling them they will own no digital content, only access it via subscriptions or rental. The image is an extremely over-the-top happy psychedelic scene with a wide-mouthed overjoyed character, a smiling blue dolphin, colorful flowers, a rainbow, and hot air balloons, exaggerating the forced positivity that companies expect consumers to have toward the 'own nothing' content model.

This meme jokes about the common stereotype that the United States refuses to adopt the metric (SI) system, sticking to non-standard, non-metric units of measurement. The image shows a wooden construction beam where a distance is marked by drilled holes that spell out the vulgar, absurd measurement '242 DICKS' instead of using any standard unit. The punchline leans into the joke that Americans will use literally any random non-metric measurement, no matter how ridiculous.

This is a satirical meme made for US Tax Day, using a screenshot of Andy Bernard from the US sitcom *The Office*. The top text asks the question: "Wow government, where did you get all that money for the budget?", and Andy replies bluntly at the bottom with "I STOLE IT". The joke cynically jokes about taxation, framing government collected tax revenue as stolen from ordinary citizens, which is a common cynical joke shared around Tax Day.

This meme uses wordplay and a common cultural stereotype about the United States to create a darkly humorous joke. It opens with the factual statement that the collective noun for a group of fish is called a 'school'. The punchline labels the following image as 'Americans:', showing two real men opening fire with rifles from opposite shores of a pond that holds a school (group) of fish. The pun relies on the double meaning of the word 'school', referencing the high frequency of school shootings in the US, implying that Americans react to the word 'school' with gunfire.

This meme is a satirical commentary on for-profit healthcare that recontextualizes the classic biblical scene of Jesus cleansing the Temple of Jerusalem. In the original biblical story, Jesus drives money changers out of the temple, saying they turned God's house of prayer into a den of robbers. The meme re-frames this scene: Jesus is cast as a doctor, the money changers are cast as corrupt insurance companies exchanging profit in a hospital (the 'house of healing'). The image uses an existing biblical illustration of the temple cleansing, with added text that reads 'Doctor catches insurance companies exchanging money in a hospital', drawing a direct parallel between ancient religious profiteering and modern exploitative healthcare profiteering by insurance companies.

This is a satirical edited meme made to look like a commercial romantic drama movie poster. It edits the faces of former US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu onto the bodies of a romantic couple in an intimate, tender pose. Below the couple is a tilted, partially sinking military aircraft carrier in a stormy ocean. The poster is labeled 'A FORBIDDEN FILM' titled 'HORMUZ' (referring to the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, a global shipping chokepoint), with the two politicians credited as the lead stars. The joke satirizes the close political alliance between Trump and Netanyahu, framing their shared geopolitical influence and surrounding tensions around the Strait of Hormuz as a cheesy romantic drama, which matches the original post title calling it 'My favourite drama'.
