This is a satirical two-panel meme following the classic wikiHow instructional advice format. The left panel is marked with a red 'X' indicating a bad choice: it shows a brown-haired man in a light blue shirt holding a smartphone, with text reading 'don't waste your time on your phone'. The right panel is marked with a red check mark indicating the recommended good choice: it shows the same man resting his arms on a table staring blankly ahead, with text reading 'simply stare blankly into space instead'. The joke mocks unhelpful self-help and productivity advice that frames one equally unproductive activity as a superior improvement over another, for absurdist comedic effect.

This meme parodies the typical wikiHow step-by-step guide format, purporting to be an article titled 'How To Be Happy' under the Emotions and Feelings > Happiness category. It uses the signature simple, clean wikiHow illustration style: a blonde man with a calm, slight smile is shown next to a thought bubble containing a glowing lightbulb that symbolizes thoughts or ideas. The first and only visible listed step is 'Stop having thoughts', an absurd, darkly humorous and highly relatable joke implying overthinking and excessive rumination are the primary obstacles to happiness, poking fun at overly simplistic self-help advice.

The meme features Kermit the Frog, the iconic Muppet character, wearing a red winter coat and riding a light blue bicycle in a dry, wooded outdoor area with bare trees and a bird flying in the background. Overlaid on the image in bright green text is a humorous, literal subversion of a common inspirational aphorism: 'When life shuts a door. Open it again. It's a door. That's how they work.' The joke rejects the overly metaphorical, dramatic framing of common self-help quotes in favor of a simple, practical, no-nonsense perspective on overcoming small setbacks.

This is a satirical edited screenshot parodying the wikiHow self-help format, showing a fictional article titled 'How to Accept Your Failures' under the Personal Development > Personal Failure category. It features the typical cheerful wikiHow illustrated man in a blue shirt sitting at a desk with a laptop, grinning widely and giving a thumbs up. The first listed step is an absurdly dark, nihilistic piece of advice: 'Remember one day the sun will explode. and no one will even be alive to remember you.' The humor stems from the extreme disconnect between the earnest, helpful tone and art style typical of wikiHow, and the overly bleak existential advice that trivializes all personal failure by comparing it to the eventual heat death of the solar system.
