Memes

TGIF, meme-lovers. We're back at it with the best dank memes Reddit had to offer this week. And what a week it was. As is to be expected, there's a smattering of politics in this installment. But don't fear. You're not about to be inundated with memes about MAGA storming the Capitol. There's plenty of spicy, relatable memes that have nothing to do with the madness. We're very, very thankful for that. 

Ever see someone drop some complicated stats in a post that make you wonder if the math checks out? Well some nerds out there will literally do the math to prove a point, calculate the internal physics of a meme, or just for the hell of it. Let's be real, most of us plebs hate math, but it sure is entertaining to catch someone else dropping some mathematical knowledge on the rest of us. We've got some amusing examples of brainiacs in the wild that did the math.  

Do you have a sense of humor? Perfect, because that's literally all you will need to proceed with scrolling through this huge batch of hilariously ridiculous memes. Even if you have a very idiosyncratic taste in jokes, we're willing to bet there's something in here for everyone. All you have to do is love to laugh. 

Well. We've got to hand it to the optimistic people who thought all the world's problems would dissolve when the clock struck midnight on January 1st. There's been absolutely no end to the mental pain and suffering. Yesterday's incident at the Capitol was absolutely surreal (and stupid) and guess what? We also hit a new record of Covid-19 deaths. If all of this is too much to handle, you're definitely not alone. And we're here to hand off some memes that should help take your mind off it all, even if only for a little while. 

While we realize that not everyone qualifies for Mensa, these posts shout out people who have somehow managed to take stupid to the next level. And we have to admit we're completely here for it. There's something extremely satisfying about witnessing someone exhibit a lack of intelligence that rivals your own. It's a sick ego boost, but we'll take doses of elevated self-image when and where we can get them. We just hope these poor souls invest some of their time into exercising their brains and familiarizing themselves with common sense. They clearly need all the help they can get. 

If you're looking to inject your year with even more drama (albeit harmless), consider exploring the insanely popular game Among Us. The murder mystery game, which is available on Steam, seems to have won the hearts of hardcore gamers and the desperately bored alike. It's not hard to see why. The simple game boasts intrigue, strategy, and a whole lot of shit talking. What more could a listless internet user want? 

For those of you who already appreciate the game and its many opportunities for comedy, we humbly present these memes. They may bring back memories of conflict and betrayal, but they're pretty damn funny.

Anyone who's on Facebook likely has boomer relative somewhere who uses the social network to ask for advice about creating PDFs, or accidentally makes public events instead of sending private messages, or complains about innocuous problems, like the neighbor's dog barking too loudly. Well there's a Facebook group called 'a group where we all pretend to be boomers' and it's exactly what it sounds like. Everyone in the group must stay in character at all times, making for an absolutely spot on parody of the Facebook world of boomers. We've captured some gold moments from the group to give you a taste of what it's like. 

We've all come across one in the wild at some point. That acquaintance from high school you haven't spoken to in literally nine years who slides into your DMs for one nefarious purpose...to convince you to buy into a non-salaried workforce by peddling bullshit no one wants to buy, all under the guise of 'entrepreneurship.' Yes, we're talking about multi-level marketing schemes and scammers, baby! The truly sad thing about MLM is that the grifter is oftentimes just a victim of grifting themselves, caught in an endless cycle of preying on the down and out. We're all just trying to get through our own personal hells, so it's pretty infuriating to see these big pyramid selling companies succeed at exploiting us even more. 

If you're as fed up as us with all this wicked MLM nonsense, you'll surely get a kick out of these posts and memes that share your sentiment. 

Greetings, internet traveler. It's time to wake up and smell the memes because we've got a hearty serving of entertaining content that could brighten even the most jaded spirit. Take a break and enjoy a well-deserved chuckle or two. 

Okay, so 2021 isn't quite the fresh start Americans had hoped for, but right-wing insurrection and a literal siege of the US Capitol in the first week of January is a bit extra. Most impressive was the rate at which memes, tweets, Instagram stories, and TikToks were flooding the internet as the storming of the Capitol was still unfolding. Perhaps this says something about society, but we won't go there. Let's just stick to what we know best—memes. And if you're appalled because it seems like we're making light of a dire situation, you can kindly look the other way. Some of us are so jaded that all we can do right now is laugh and cry at the same time. 

Do you ever find yourself staring with unfocused eyes in the direction of a blank wall until you snap out of it and wonder how much time you just lost doing absolutely nothing? Have you considered filling the empty void inside of you with hilarious Internet Memes™? You can try it out right now with this mega mix of marvelous memes and other fun tidbits.
