Memes

Some people might not understand the phenomenon of possum memes. The large marsupials look something like giant uglier rats (sorry guys) and have an affinity for garbage. They don't move very quickly and have very poor eyesight, so graceful is the last thing we'd use to describe them. Nonetheless, the critters have become something of a meme legend, almost rivaling their arguably cuter trash cousins, raccoons. 

Possum (opossum if you're nasty) memes are often self-deprecating. You know the drill, "I am trash," yadda yadda. But some of them are downright wholesome, painting the homely creatures as sweet princesses or cuddly and adorable. We appreciate both brands of memes, and this gallery celebrates them, too. 

Let's face it. Everywhere you look people are going crazy. Is it the pandemic? Is it just...*gestures at everything*? Does it even matter? Not really. So while we're kind of enjoying the spiral but kind of feel like we're in hell, we're here to offer the only solace we know: humor. Relatable humor. Stupid humor. Maybe even some depressing humor that covers both the bases above. Hopefully memes can help you through this mess we call existence right now. 

Celebrity impersonators are cool and everything, but sometimes they try a little too hard (no offense). Isn't it way more fun to see some ordinary schmo minding their own business at the bus stop, looking exactly like a bootleg Tony Stark? r/WalmartCelebrities is a hilarious goldmine of off-brand celebrity doppelgängers caught in the wild. If you haven't already checked out the subreddit, it's your lucky day because we've collected our favorite examples of funny lookalikes and human puns. 

Who owns memes? We all do. We plucked these memes from the virtual treasure chests of shameless meme pirates who stole memes from other meme thieves, and so on. Now it's your turn. Go ahead, take 'em. Like anything you see? It's yours. Just make sure you pay it forward and share the wealth in your favorite group chat. 

Ever get the feeling that something is...off? That eerie sense that your whole life might be a reality TV show and everyone's in on it but you. That feeling you've experienced this exact moment before. The thought that maybe there is no such thing as a coincidence. What even is real? There is no spoon.

If you've ever seen or experienced something that feels like a glitch in the Matrix, you're not alone. In fact, there's a whole subreddit dedicated to these very instances. We've collected some perplexing images and examples of strange phenomena that range from unsettling to tongue-in-cheek. We're sure some brainiacs out there have explanations for these visual enigmas, and they should feel free to school us in the comments, by all means.

There may not be anything productive or educational about spending your time scrolling through memes, but there's also nothing inherently wrong about the mindless activity. When life is bringing us so little joy, it's only natural to try to elevate ones mood in any way possible. So why deprive yourself of a few light chuckles? Sit back, relax, and enjoy these memes. You deserve them.

We're back with another round of fresh and funny tweets from all corners of the bird app. In this collection, you'll find painfully relatable tweets about trying to be productive in the time of Covid, random and absurd tweets about nothing in particular, mildly topical tweets with a tongue-in-cheek edge, and plenty of other amusing Twitter gold. If you're in the mood for even more tweets, we've got lots more here. 

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.

School? Never heard of it. Bills? Throw 'em in the trash. Exercise? Maybe later. Work? I quit. Don't you wish it were that easy? You'll never escape your responsibilities for good. Even if you try, there they'll be, gnawing at the back of your mind. If you do want to attempt the impossible and escape your long list of unavoidable tasks, we've got the memes to help you out. But don't say we didn't warn you. 

Ever wish you could see what kind of casual and mundane things the Avengers get into when they're not saving the world? Well now you can. Sort of. Marvel doppelgängers have started a wholesome new trend on TikTok that initially splintered off from one Scarlett Johansson lookalike's videos in which she enjoys some tasty food to the tune of 'Leave the Door Open' by Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak. What started as a simple duet between Black Widow and Hawkeye evolved into a multiverse of bizarro Avengers virtually eating lunch together. Maybe in a few days we'll get to see the entire cast in a single TikTok!

If you love dad jokes, cheesy word play, and puns that make your eyes roll, you'll love these dumb memes that are sure to scratch that pun itch. Thanks to accounts like @Pun_Bible and @PunHubOnline, we never have to worry about running out of memes filled with the best kind of corny humor. We've selected some of our favorites from these hilarious accounts that you can either chuckle about to yourself or send to someone who will appreciate them. 

Communication is hard. Sure, we're able to communicate with pretty much anyone at any moment. But does that mean we're good at it? Quite the opposite. It feels like this ability has somehow broken our brains in a way that sometimes makes it harder to say what we mean. Or people are emboldened by the convenience of faceless discussion, allowing them to say things they wouldn't dream of uttering in person. Most of all, texting and DMs make for a ton of accidental cringe and comedy. These exchanges definitely fall into at least one of those categories - and sometimes fall into both. 

When the going gets tough, some pick up a new hobby or take a walk around the block to get their mind off the negative. Others turn to binge-watching TV, stupid memes and social media. The point is, we all have to cope one way or another. And unless you're one of those zen, galaxy-brained super humans who prefers to meet life's obstacles head on, we've got just the sort of distracting content that'll push those worries under the rug until they mutate into a horrific monster that you can't ignore. 

Everyone loves genuinely nice guys who respect boundaries and show compassion towards others. But Nice Guys™ are a whole other breed of dude. Cringey Nice Guys will become friends with a woman with the assumption that the friendship will lead to sex. Nice Guys think that performing basic social expectations means they are entitled to sex. Nice Guys are anything but nice. We've got a handful of cringey Nice Guy moments that were immortalized in screenshots forever.
