This meme uses a text setup and reaction shot format. The top text shows a line from a time traveler asking 'Hey, is this WWI or WWII?', followed by a header for the WWI soldier's response above an edited 3D animated character. The character is modified to look like a dirty, battle-worn WWI soldier wearing a military helmet, with an extremely shocked, horrified wide-eyed expression. The joke is that the soldier is learning for the first time that a second world war will occur after the conflict he is currently fighting, which aligns with the original title of the meme.

This is a two-panel humorous meme. The top section features text reading 'if you had a time machine what would you go back and fix? me:'. The first panel shows a paleoart illustration of Tiktaalik, an extinct prehistoric transitional species between aquatic fish and land-dwelling tetrapods, crawling onto a sandy shore from shallow water, with a stick pointed toward it. The second panel shows a human hand using the stick to nudge Tiktaalik back into the water as the punchline: the meme creator humorously implies they would prevent the evolution of all land-dwelling life to avoid the inconveniences and suffering of modern human existence.

This meme opens with a text question at the top: "If u can travel back in time, what will u do?". Below this, a section labeled "me:" shows a simple bald stick figure violently slapping or choking a smaller, messy-haired stick figure labeled "my younger self". The humor comes from the subversion of typical time travel tropes: instead of doing productive acts like preventing disasters or giving helpful advice to their past self, the speaker chooses to take out their frustration on their younger self for past mistakes they regret.

This meme uses the popular 'time traveler minor action causes drastic timeline change' format. The top text sets up the premise: a time traveler performs the tiny, trivial action of moving a single rock. The resulting altered timeline is shown as an edited photograph of Elon Musk dressed in traditional Middle Eastern religious headwear, framed as a guest on MEMRI TV (a media outlet that translates Middle Eastern broadcast content, often used in absurdist memes). The edited clip labels the figure 'Elon Mosque', a pun on Elon Musk's name replacing 'Musk' with 'Mosque', and lists his title as 'SPACE JIHAD | FOUNDER', a parody of Musk's role as founder of aerospace company SpaceX, leaning into the absurdity of the butterfly effect trope.

This is a two-part collage meme. The top panel features animated character Vanessa from *Bee Movie* with her eyes closed speaking, with an inset photo of Stephen Hawking at his famous real-life 2009 time traveler party, where a welcome sign is misspelled 'WEI COME TIME TRAVELLERS' instead of 'WELCOME TIME TRAVELLERS'. The overlaid main text states '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 the black and white payoff of the meme format, showing animated character Ken from *Bee Movie* looking horrified and shocked as the viewer understands the joke: the typo makes the sign appear to say only people named Wei are welcome, so time travelers did see the invitation but chose not to attend because they were not named Wei, solving the real mystery of why no guests arrived to Hawking's event.

This meme uses a side-by-side comparison format to illustrate stereotypical differences in how women and men would use a time machine. The top half shows a present-day girl meeting her 2019 self, where the two exchange pleasant compliments about each other's appearance: the present girl says "OMG, you are so pretty" and the 2019 version replies "No, you are prettier". The bottom half shows a present-day bearded man meeting his 2019 self, where he immediately tells his past self "I need you to buy 128GB DDR5 RAM ASAP", and the 2019 version simply agrees with "OK". The joke leans into the common stereotype that male PC hardware enthusiasts prioritize getting affordable, high-performance PC components over all else.

This is a two-part meme: the top section has text setting up a scenario where a time traveler casually asks a WWI soldier if the current time period is WWI or WWII. Below the setup text is a low-resolution 3D animated character with a shocked, deeply disturbed, horrified expression, presented as the WWI soldier's reaction. The humor comes from dramatic irony: the time traveler's innocent question reveals to the WWI soldier that a second devastating global world war will occur after the conflict he is currently fighting, prompting his stunned, horrified reaction.

This meme features a screenshot of the animated character Doraemon operating his time travel machine against a swirling green time warp background from the Doraemon anime series. Text placed above the image jokes that even though Doraemon is canonically a time traveler from the 22nd century future, he never warned people living in the 21st century about the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The joke plays on the fictional lore of the Doraemon franchise, humorously calling out the absurdity of expecting fictional characters to account for real-world global events.
