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 looping animated meme that uses SpongeBob SquarePants to make a pun about different temperature scales. It starts with 0 degrees Celsius: SpongeBob is shown bundled up in a winter jacket, earmuffs, and scarf, shivering intensely from the cold. Next, 0 degrees Fahrenheit (which is much colder than 0°C): SpongeBob is now frozen pale blue standing in an icy, icicle-covered environment, looking terrified. Next comes 0 Kelvin: 0 K is absolute zero, the lowest theoretically possible temperature where all molecular motion stops. A cosmic circular pattern fades to black, and when it fades back in, SpongeBob is shown unexpectedly at the center of the glowing pattern, comically surviving the impossible temperature, then the entire loop repeats. The joke plays on the double meaning of '0K': in internet slang '0K' means 'okay', but here it refers to zero Kelvin, an extremely physically extreme condition rather than a fine, acceptable state.

This is a screenshot of a cross-posted social media meme. At the top, text explains that a fluffy ginger cat named Booker loves staring at ice cubes: he does not lick or touch them, he only stares and purrs. The main image shows the long-haired ginger cat curled on a wood-patterned floor, intently focused on a single ice cube placed in front of him. At the bottom, a Tumblr user comments with a witty joke: "Just a fan of thermodynamics", referencing that the cat is watching the thermodynamic process of ice melting.

This is a two-panel meme using characters from *SpongeBob SquarePants* to joke about the common size distortion of Antarctica on most standard world maps (most famously the Mercator projection). In the top panel, a giant Plankton labeled "Antarctica on a map" looms over a tiny SpongeBob labeled "The other continents", showing how oversized Antarctica appears on most maps. In the bottom panel, the roles are flipped: a giant SpongeBob labeled "Most other continents" holds a tiny Plankton labeled "Antarctica in real life", illustrating that Antarctica is actually much smaller than it appears on maps relative to other continents.
