Memes

We don't think anyone needs an excuse to enjoy memes. Not only are they capable of improving one's mood, but they are also a solid (and safe) way to waste time you'd otherwise be spending doing nothing. Or, like, doing pre-pandemic stuff. Like eating at restaurants. Or going to bars. Or seeing live music. Anyway, the memes are here for you. Please enjoy them.

Programming is often touted as a smart and lucrative career path. It's a job that (sometimes) offers flexibility and great benefits. But it's far from sunshine and Nyan Cat rainbows. The hours are long. The mistakes are frustrating. And your eyesight is almost guaranteed to suffer. These memes cover most of the frustration (and funny moments) of programming. At least we can laugh through the pain. 

We love an easily exploitable meme format, and September's brought us some gems in that department. Our new favorite super-versatile meme has got to be 'Sure Grandma, Let's Get You To Bed'. The trend started on Twitter, but is popping up all over Instagram and Reddit- probably because it can be used in reference to just about everything. Most examples feature the "Grandma" character saying something (like "Netflix used to come in the mail") that sounds extremely hard to believe. The granddaughter character brushes the information off as nonsense, and suggests Grandma needs to rest her addled mind. We've put together some of our favorite examples of the meme, but we're willing to bet you'll find a lot more flying around the meme universe. 

We're back for another round Tolkien Tuesday batch of Lord of the Rings memes. And today's gallery is extra special as we're celebrating Halfling Day. This "holiday" commemorates the birthdays of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, the ring toting freaks that really made it all happen. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the shireposting. If you find yourself in need of more LOTR morsels, you can check out some previous installments here and here. We've got you covered.

Congratulations! You've officially survived a whole day of existence. Instead of cowering in a corner and crying, maybe you should do something a little more positive with your time? You know, like scroll through some dopamine-producing memes. It might feel like wasting time, but we're supportive of most activities that make you feel good.

It's always humbling to be drunkenly trudging home from a long night out and see people running. The contrast between being a piece of human trash and taking care of one's body is alarming. These running memes go out to the responsible and fit people with the strength to wake up early or strap on those sneaks after a long day of work. Keep making us feel like garbage - maybe at some point we'll join your elite and sinewy ranks. Until then, all we have to offer is memes.

TGIF, y'all! While we don't need an excuse to happily scroll through memes, Friday is generally a great excuse to do so. The promise of freedom is something we should celebrate, and we think that perusing amusing memes, clever tweets and arguably stupid shitposts is a great way to do so. We all deserve 'em.

If you're a fan of self-deprecating humor you'll absolutely love these brutal self-owns from r/suicidebywords. The subreddit is dedicated to people who go out of their way to mock themselves, sometimes to extremely dark results. We've put together some of their freshest masochistic tidbits, but there's loads more where these come. And they bring the pain.

Here in the United States, despite the wildfires and pandemic, temperatures slowly lowering and spook enthusiasts are growing excited. This year's autumnal festivities  may not be as fun as previous years, but we can still have some skeleton-forward Halloween fun on the internet. And this gallery will help you do just that.

If you fancy yourself a lover of spicy memes, or a lover of history, chances are you'll enjoy this gallery of memes. Most of them have to do with the World Wars, and many of them touch on some of the grislier battles and situations that our past has to offer. If you're sensitive to the horrors of the past, you might want to look for some fluffier content. But if you appreciate dark humor, you'll feel right at home.
