A two-panel meme combining animated scenes and a real photograph. The top panel features two animated characters (a woman with closed eyes and a man facing away) with an inset photo of Stephen Hawking sitting in a wheelchair at a party with a 'WELCOME TIME TRAVELERS' sign. Below this, text reads: 'If you think about it closely, we now know why no time travelers went to Stephen Hawking's time traveler party'. The bottom panel shows the same animated characters in black-and-white, with the woman looking downward and the man appearing concerned.

A split collage meme comparing insulin production methods in 1951 and today. The top-left section features a black-and-white photograph of a massive pile of pig pancreases next to a small container, accompanied by text: '1951: 10,000 POUNDS OF PIG PANCREASES MAKE 1 POUND OF INSULIN'. The bottom-right section shows a color image of modern laboratory equipment with stainless steel bioreactors, labeled: 'TODAY: GENETICALLY ENGINEERED BACTERIA PRODUCE ANIMAL-FREE INSULIN'. The meme highlights the significant technological advancement in biotechnology, transitioning from animal-derived to synthetic, animal-free insulin production.

A meme featuring a historical portrait of Sir Isaac Newton, a prominent physicist known for discovering gravity. The image has two lines of text: the top text reads 'MF HAD SEEN HIS PISS GO DOWN EVERY TIME' and the bottom text reads 'BUT NEEDED AN APPLE TO NOTICE GRAVITY'. The joke humorously contrasts the everyday observation of urine falling (due to gravity) with the popular story of Newton discovering gravity after an apple fell on his head, implying he should have noticed gravity sooner from mundane experiences.

A humorous meme depicting a satirical explanation for dinosaur extinction. The top of the image features the text 'This is what happens when you turn on the WiFi:' Above a desert landscape rendered in black-and-white pixel art, there is a large flame icon containing a WiFi symbol at its center. Below, multiple pixelated dinosaurs (including small and larger silhouettes) stand among cacti under a sky with simple cloud shapes, evoking a prehistoric environment. The joke implies that WiFi signals, personified by the fiery WiFi icon, caused the extinction of dinosaurs, subverting the scientific consensus on the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event.

A two-panel meme featuring a real photo of Stephen Hawking in a wheelchair with a 'WELCOME TIME TRAVELLERS' sign inset in the top panel. The top panel includes animated characters: a woman with closed eyes and a man turned away, set against a colorful background with flowers. The overlaid text reads, 'If you think about it closely, we now know why no time travelers went to Stephen Hawking's time traveler party'. The bottom panel is in grayscale, showing the same animated characters: the woman now smiling with an amused expression, and the man facing forward with a sad or concerned look. The meme humorously references Hawking's real-life time traveler party, where no one attended, implying a retrospective 'explanation' through the characters' changing expressions.

A news-style graphic with a dark gray background and yellow border, featuring a middle-aged man in a dark suit, white shirt, and striped tie. The man has visible red/purple facial marks (birth defect). A circular inset on the left shows a close-up of the same man. Prominent text at the bottom reads about a Spanish scientist curing pancreatic cancer in mice but being mocked for his birth defect, emphasizing that animal model cures are a major step toward human treatment. A 'NEWS' label is in the bottom left, and a 'THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW' logo is in the top left.

The meme features a historical portrait of Sir Isaac Newton with a speech bubble containing the slang phrase 'I like them thicc af'. Below the portrait, a dialogue follows: '- But Sir Newton, we can't write that! - Then write this: The greater the mass, the greater the force of attraction'. This humorously connects the modern slang 'thicc' (referring to a curvy or large body type, implying significant mass) to Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that gravitational force increases with mass. The joke lies in the fictional scenario of Newton originally using informal language before substituting it with the scientific principle.

A meme featuring a claim by YouTuber LabCoatz that he cracked Coca-Cola's secret formula after a year of research, using chemistry to create an identical recipe. The image includes two photos: one showing a Coca-Cola bottle next to a 'LabCola' bottle with a red label and atomic symbol, and another displaying a detailed recipe with ingredients like lemon oil, cassia cinnamon oil, and caffeine. Below is a sarcastic comment from Mike Benz (@MikeBenzCyber) expressing concern for LabCoatz's safety, noting the formula's historical secrecy compared to nuclear weapons.

A meme featuring a screenshot of a 2017 news article from The Express Tribune's Technology section with the headline 'Mars missions may be all-female to avoid astronauts having sex during 1.5-year journey'. Below the headline, there is a photo of four female astronauts in blue NASA uniforms posing in front of a spacecraft. The article shows 32,756 shares with Facebook and Twitter share buttons. A Twitter comment from Adrienne Adele Cox (@AdrienneACox) is overlaid at the bottom, reading 'Should we tell them? I wanna tell them..', which humorously critiques the article's premise by implying same-sex relationships were not considered in the logic of preventing sexual activity during space travel.

That will be a great 1.5 years journey!

A meme that humorously twists a scientific fact about microplastic intake. The top text presents a claim: 'Scientists: you eat about a credit card worth of microplastics every year'. Below, the punchline follows: 'Me wondering if that's in addition to the credit cards I already eat:'. The visual component features a sequence of images of Raiden, a character from *Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance*, displaying various contemplative expressions—from neutral to slightly amused—emphasizing the absurdity of the joke. The meme uses irony by taking the scientific comparison of microplastic volume to a 'credit card worth' literally, suggesting the person already eats actual credit cards, thus questioning if the microplastics are an additional intake.

A meme presented in a 3x2 grid layout. The top-left panel shows a photo of an animal skeleton with the text 'How the animal's skeleton looks like'. The middle-left panel features a rough, somewhat menacing hand-drawn sketch of a creature labeled 'How scientists would recreate the animal'. The bottom-left panel displays a cute photo of a white rabbit with the text 'The animal'. The humor stems from the satirical exaggeration of scientists misinterpreting the skeleton to create a fearsome-looking creature, which comically contrasts with the actual small, innocent rabbit.

A 4-panel comic meme parodying Frankenstein. Panel 1: A scientist excitedly exclaims 'IT'S ALIVE!' over a green, stitched monster on a table. Panel 2: The scientist smiles and says 'SPEAK, MY CHILD' to the standing monster. Panel 3: The monster responds with the false claim 'VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM'. Panel 4: The scientist, frustrated, says 'OH F**K, I FORGOT To GIVE You A BRAIN' (with 'F**K' censored). The joke mocks anti-vaccine misinformation by implying the monster lacks critical thinking. Watermarks 'GRAFENSTEIN' (bottom left) and 'SRGRAFO' (bottom right) credit the creator.
