We all wish we could be ultra productive members of society with godlike strength and boundless energy, but alas, we're only human. And many of us on the lazier side of the spectrum require breaks throughout the day filled with mindless procrastination-fodder. If you're nodding your head in enthusiastic agreement right now, then you'll be absolutely stoked for what's about to come. Yeah, that's right. Memes. 

Language and memes have a lot in common if you think about it. They're both important communication tools. Both are ever-changing foundations of contemporary culture. Both often require some context to better understand their nuances. It makes total sense that a linguist might be interested in image macros. Memes sort of function as a writing system used to tell stories—like 21st century hieroglyphics. If you're into both memes and linguistics, this batch of wordy memes about the quirks of language might be right up your alley.

If you ever feel like you're a bad person or call yourself trashy as a joke, boy, do we have some news for you. There's an entire internet's worth of proof that it can get much worse. From parents dragging their children into their toxic drama, to people who have no qualms about being a homewrecker, these garbage people are so awful that they honestly make us feel better about ourselves. We just hope their hypothetical offspring somehow turn out better than their classless parents. 

It seems that Steak-Umm woke up today and chose violence. And while it isn't the first time (their Twitter is pretty legendary), this mini-vendetta against Neil Degrasse-Tyson has been too funny to ignore. On Sunday, Degrasse-Tyson tweeted that "The good thing about Science is that it's true, whether or not you believe in it." The sentiment, which is actually pretty dull, caught the attention of Steak-Umm's social media manager, Nathan Allenbach - who turned the platitude into an opportunity to ruffle some internet feathers. While at first Steak-Umm simply replied "log off bro," they later contextualized their stance, explaining that "science itself isn't "true" it's a constantly refining process used to uncover truths based in material reality and that process is still full of misteaks. neil just posts ridiculous sound bites like this for clout and he has no respect for epistemology." 

Where the initial sass-filled tweets are fiery and entertaining, the responses are taking things up a notch. It seems that Twitter users are eager to one-up each other with beef-related puns, desperate for Senpai (Steak-Umm) to notice them. And guess what? Many of them succeeded. While some people have jokingly suggested that the account take on Stephen Hawking (RIP), we really would love to see them go after some more public figures. While we never expected to support a brand's social account, let alone one that shills processed meat, we've really been enjoying Steak-Umm's social media development and can't wait to what kind of mischief they cause in the coming months. 

Traveling medicine shows and mountebanks shilling dubious to harmful "medical remedies" may seem like a thing of the past, we're sorry to say we've got plenty of 21st century iterations doing their thing on the internet. While MLM marketersmay not be promoting tonics of cocaine or opium, they are trying to convince them that essential oils will cure stuff like cancer. Which is probably more dangerous than any mountebank's claims. Beyond the obvious hokey pyramid scheme BS, there are plenty of people on Twitter and Facebook who for some reason fancy themselves doctors and spew ignorance to whoever will listen. Once you get over their absolute stupidity and the abysmal state of education, it's actually quite fun to laugh at this nonsense. Just don't let the idiocy seep into your brain. We need all the smart people this world has to offer. 

Johnson & Johnson might be left out of that vaccine team to save the summer after all. Federal health officials paused distribution of the J&J vaccine today due to six reported rare blood clot cases in the U.S.  Most people are taking this news seriously, but of course in the world of memes, pretty much everything is fair game on the internet. Twitter immediately started personifying the vaccines in memes and pitting Pfizer & Moderna against J&J as if they were the cool mean girls in high school bullying the 'loser.' Scroll along for a collection of highlights from the spicy J&J Twitter meme frenzy. 

Oh yeah, baby. It's Tuesday, which means we're serving up another hot batch of funny, dumb, fresh and classic Lord of the Rings memes for the nerds who love 'em. And that group definitely includes us. This week is a little heavy on the "After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?" meme of the great Bilbo Baggins. But that's okay. Because they're good. The rest of the gallery is filled with more of the random and nerdy tidbits that we love scrolling through. Tweets? Covered. Tumblr posts? Got 'em. Loads of shitposts from Reddit? Even more present. So what are you waiting for? 

We love weird niche memes and absurdly random shitposts that make no damn sense, but sometimes it's nice to find a meme that makes you think, 'wow, this meme gets me.' We've got a bunch of memes, tweets, and funny screenshots that will resonate with just about any human living through this cruel, cruel world. If you're in the need for some memes, you better get scrolling! 

It's hard to be kind of old in the age of TikTok. It can be hard to navigate the app (please help us) and whenever we open it we feel increasingly out of touch. The music. The references. Oh god, the dances. But there are still some net positives where the app is considered, and over the past week this has been evident thanks to the 'Trade Offer' memes that have been popping up all over Reddit and Instagram.

The TikTok meme that led to these less irritating image macros was started by @natebellamy4 who posted a video proposal to "God" involving trading hated humans for beloved and sadly deceased public figures. The meme took off, inspiring @bradeazy to share a slightly less wholesome (and less egalitarian) version involving trading "sloppy toppy" for...nothing. @bradeazy's version of the meme has since been utilized as very versatile meme format, for everything from happy "trades" involving caring for one's pets or spicier historical memes about conquistadors and sketchy CIA dealings in Latin America. They've definitely been spicing up our timeline, so we figured we'd share our favorites with you. Care to accept the offer?

Did you know that humor appreciation is located in the lower frontal lobes? So if you have a taste for dumb memes, it means your lower frontal lobes are totally ripped. Memes might be stupid as hell 99% of the time, but even someone who laughs at the most inane content has to be smart enough to appreciate them in the first place. Think about it. People who love memes are practically geniuses. Anyway, enjoy the memes. 

Some people like their memes dripping with relatability. Others prefer them to be stupid. And then there are the tweet-worshippers who can't get enough of the quick and easy humor. What if we told you that we could satisfy all of these meme-consumers with one hefty gallery? Well, we're aiming to do just that. This batch of memes is sure to have you saying "It me" and possibly chuckling a little in the process. And if that doesn't make your day better, we don't know what will. 

Edgelords can be pretty annoying when they put zero creativity into their provocative facade, but sometimes you catch a cleverly written edgy response in the comments that is as entertaining as it is disturbing. We've got a mix of cursed comments featuring wrong answers and dark, spicy humor from people who aren't afraid to go there.
