This image is a screenshot of a public Twitter/X thread. The original post is from verified user @danielleiat, posted on May 20, 2021. It jokes about the relatable experience of wanting to insult someone you are frustrated with, while also making a conscious effort to avoid using ableist or otherwise discriminatory language that harms marginalized groups, so you look up the insult first to confirm it is only personally rude, not discriminatory. A reply from another user below sums up this sentiment perfectly: 'I want to hurt them but not in a systemic way'. The humor comes from the balance between petty personal anger and commitment to social justice principles that many online users relate to.

This is a screenshot-based social media meme. The top line reads "Bro found the glitch 😂", followed by context: a man posted a public tweet complaining that women should never share photos of their bodies, and claimed women are "DESTROYING" him by replying to his tweet with photos of themselves in lingerie. A reply from Twitter/X user Todd (@tictactodd88) follows, joking "Everyone is playing checkers while bro was playing DD chess". The core joke is the implication that the man did not genuinely hold the conservative opinion he posted, but instead intentionally made the provocative take to trick women into sending him free lingerie photos, essentially exploiting a "glitch" in how internet users respond to controversial takes to get the content he desired.

This image is a screenshot of a public Twitter (now X) thread posted on October 22, 2021. The original tweet by an unnamed user states 'i literally have one dollar to my name right now'. A user named Jeremy replies asking for the poster's Venmo handle. The original poster responds with an emphatic 'NOOOOOOOOOO' and attaches a screenshot of a Venmo payment request they received from Jeremy for exactly $1.00, with the note 'The last one.' The humor comes from Jeremy taking the poster's offhand comment about being broke completely literally, and immediately asking for their only remaining dollar as a petty, funny bit.

This image is a screenshot of a viral Twitter/X thread. The top tweet, posted by user @boltsfood from Manhattan, NY on February 1, 2022, states that the poster feels embarrassed because a rat was walking right beside them on a sidewalk, making it appear as if the two are together. The reply below from user @molap8 adds a funny twist, asking if the poster considered that the rat might also be embarrassed to be seen walking next to them. The humor comes from the relatable feeling of public awkwardness, paired with the absurd, relatable framing of the rat as having its own sense of embarrassment.

The meme uses four iterations of the animated character Spongebob Squarepants displaying progressively more intense, unhinged laughter, paired with text at the top of the image reading 'Every other social media CEO watching Elon Musk and Twitter spiral downwards'. The sequence of increasingly hysterical Spongebob visuals is used to represent the idea that leaders of competing social media platforms find the widely documented operational and popularity decline of Twitter/X after Elon Musk's 2022 acquisition extremely humorous, as Twitter/X's struggles benefit their own competing services.

This meme features a wordplay pun referencing Marvel's Iron Man character. The top text reads "His shirt is so wrinkly because he doesn't have an iron, man", which is a pun where the phrase "iron, man" sounds identical to the superhero name "Iron Man". Below the text are two identical side-by-side stills of actor Tom Holland, who plays Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, wearing a heavily wrinkled light blue button-up shirt, looking upwards with a confused, shocked expression. Underneath the stills is a fabricated screenshot of a tweet from Robert Downey Jr, the actor who portrays Iron Man and is framed as a close mentor figure to Holland's Spider-Man in the MCU, that reads "Delete this.", implying RDJ is playfully annoyed by the corny pun referencing his character.

This is a single panel meme using the widely recognized four-way hands clasped in agreement template. Four distinct arms are labeled to represent user bases of different major social media platforms: Tumblr users, YouTube users, 4chan and Reddit users, and Facebook and Instagram users. All four often conflicting internet groups are depicted uniting to agree with the central text that reads "TIKTOK AND TWITTER ARE CANCER", an internet slang phrase meaning these platforms are toxic, unpleasant, or damaging to broader internet culture. The humor comes from the relatable observation that these normally disparate user groups all share this common negative opinion.

The meme is a screenshot of two stacked Twitter/X posts. The top post is from official US news outlet The Hill, reporting that a diver discovered a 900-year-old Crusader sword covered in marine growth, paired with a photo of the bald, glasses-wearing diver holding the sword on a rocky shore with the ocean behind him. The bottom post is a viral reply from user @BeefyGorilla (display name georgie) that jokes 'Congratulations to him for completing whatever main quest he was on', referencing common video game tropes where rare ancient weapons are rewards for finishing main story quests. The humor comes from framing the real-world archaeological find as a video game quest reward.

This meme consists of two stacked Twitter/X screenshot posts. The top post is from the verified New York Post account, asking if futuristic 140 mph gigantic buses could solve California's long-distance travel issues, noting the state is considering this concept, paired with an image of what is clearly a train running on rails. The bottom post is a verified sarcastic reply from user @uncledoomer (display name doomer), stating the idea is great and suggesting they could even build special metal roads for these buses to connect major cities, which is an obvious reference to pre-existing train rail systems. The joke mocks the New York Post for presenting trains as a new, innovative 'future bus' concept, highlighting how uninformed takes on public transit often reinvent already existing solutions, especially relevant to California's history of troubled high-speed rail projects.

This meme consists of two core parts: first, a text header stating "In an emergency, a crayon will burn for 30 minutes" placed above a photo of a lit, upright Crayola crayon with a visible flame, positioned next to a box of Crayola crayons and other unlit crayons. Below the image is a screenshot of a Twitter/X user named Todd replying with the question "How long do they burn if it's not an emergency?", which delivers a literal, sarcastic joke that implies the original life hack incorrectly suggests crayons only burn for 30 minutes specifically during emergency situations, rather than the original statement being a practical tip for emergency use.

This image is a screenshot of a public Twitter thread interaction. A user with display name kwame (@johlny_) asks the question "Do men still open car doors?", which is implied to refer to the chivalrous social norm of men opening car doors for romantic partners or other people as a polite gesture. The well-known internet meme character Xavier (@xavir69) replies with a deadpan, intentionally literal answer: "How do you think we get inside", subverting the intended meaning of the question by interpreting it as asking if men ever open car doors for themselves to enter the vehicle. The entire exchange is quote-tweeted by user @tchncllytru, who adds the single word "legend" above the thread to praise the funny, iconic reply. The tweet is dated July 23, 2021, has 42.7 thousand likes, and includes a Bored Panda watermark in the bottom right corner.
