Dogs are beautiful, perfect creatures whose sacred bond with humans has only strengthened through the centuries. That said, they can be a real pain in the butt when they want to be. Pet owners everywhere have taken to the internet to expose the crimes of their furry friends—a pretty amusing way to make light of disaster. Whether they're peeing onto running fans, colluding with cats, or eating all the toilet paper in the house in the midst of the great TP shortage of 2020, there's no limit to what calamity these naughty dogs can get wreak upon domestic order. But who can stay mad for long when those puppy dog eyes are looking up at you?

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.

We know life has felt thankless for a lot of people lately, and we can't blame them. The world is extra messed up right now. But every now and then something comes along to remind us that there's still some good shit happening that deserves to be celebrated. 67 year old Joie Henry and his emotional support alligator are today's source of happiness. After Henry lost 3 family members and 4 close friends in the span of two weeks, he was understandably crippled by severe depression. In lieu of using antidepressants, he contacted a friend who rescues alligators who gave him Wally, his emotional support gator.
Having a carnivorous reptile as a support animal might seem a little insane, but these videos show a loving relationship between man and gator that, while unexpected, warms our cold, cold hearts - and the hearts of many others.
The phrase "You learn something new every day" is widely attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, and we have really got to give Twitter some props for bringing an insane amount of truth to those words. It feels like every time we log onto the bird app, we learn something horrible, interesting, or altogether puzzling. Fortunately, today's learning moment falls into the "interesting" category, and involves a plane dumping a buttload of fish into a beautiful Utah lake.
FISH DROP: Thousands of fish were dropped from a plane into lakes near Bicknell, Utah July 6. The goal is to restock the lakes, which are only accessible by plane. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources says, "survival of aerial-stocked fish is incredibly high." pic.twitter.com/7Q3RFPHLsE

The video comes to us from Kansas City's KCTV5 Twitter account (and Reuters), who shared the footage of the "aerial restocking" with the assurance that the "survival of aerial-stocked fish is incredibly high." Restocking lakes with native species is important, but some lakes aren't reachable by car. That's where planes come in.
Knowing that most fish were not harmed in this process allows us to truly appreciate the insanity of what looks like the plane diarrhea-ing into pristine wilderness waters. We're not the only appreciators of this crazy video. The clip went viral pretty quickly, inspiring awestruck reactions, concern, and, of course, jokes on Twitter. While some were better than others, we're just glad to see this phenomenon in video form. Here's hoping some of the fishies get to enjoy their new homes before finding themselves on the end of a hook.
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.

If you love exploring the internet for dank memes almost as much as you love lifting up huge rocks to check out what kind of cool bugs are hanging out under there, this collection of savage content from one of our favorite Facebook groups Wild Green Memes for Ecological Fiends is right up your alley. Unfortunately, we can't always be outside admiring strange frogs and fungi, but at least we can appreciate some dank wildlife memes whenever we're stuck in polite society doing human things.
If you're cold, they're cold. Bring them inside. Otherwise, they might burst through your wall and make themselves at home.
When ceilings aren't just spontaneously falling down on their own, fuzzy critters of the night are crashing through roofs to wreak havoc on unsuspecting Floridians. @haley_iliff is one such victim of wildlife dropping in uninvited. After coming home from a trip, she found that a raccoon had fallen through a hole in the roof and trashed her whole bedroom. Apparently, it's pretty common. @haley_iliff shared the experience on Twitter, which inspired an insane thread of stories about possums, trash panda families and weird Australian creatures invading people's homes. At least they're pretty cute, for the most part. Keep scrolling for some of the best tweets from the wild thread.
We get it. You're tired.
So are we.
Existence is exhausting. Waking up day after day in this thankless cycle of work, with only a few hours each night of respite. Time we should spend with loved ones, or on our passions. Hours that end up spent with our eyes glazed over, attempting to feed ourselves or accomplish those nagging chores like laundry that we'd really rather not do on the weekend. Once that two day vacation comes around, we find ourselves devoid of energy. We laze, or drink the pain away, barely able to recharge for another joyous week of toiling.
The constant suffering and exhaustion mean that we have to entertain ourselves in easy ways. By doing things that barely exercise the few brain cells we have left. This usually means we're staring at yet another screen. Either at the TV, with some dumb show or movie. Or at the computer, killing some imaginary foe with the friends we don't see in real life. Or at our phones, looking at memes. We can't assist in the former activities, but we can definitely help in the meme department. Here's hoping these quick and easy tidbits of humor help to kill a little of the pain. We all deserve better.

We almost completely control the lives of our pets. We are responsible for how they get fed, entertained and even groomed, but the only thing they can't rebel against is the fact that we can name them pretty much whatever we want.
Petfinder names collect all the most strangely titled animals that can be found on adoption websites, and it proves just how much the names we pick for pets reflect the quirks of our own personality. There are some pretty unconventional choices here, but a lot of them are also strangely fitting. They remind us that ultimately, the only criteria for naming your pet is how many strange looks you want to get when you call for them outside.
Happy weekend! If you're looking for a way to tune out and laugh your worries away, we're here to help. This hefty assortment of memes has a little bit of everything and that means there's something for every kind of meme lover. Dog memes? Check. Depressing memes? Check. Incredibly dumb memes? We've got those too.
Happy weekend! As the weather here gets warmer, a lot of people seem to be abandoning their couches for grassy, tree-filled parks or sunny beaches. The light of summer beckons the active, luring them into happy bike rides and Instagrammable picnics. After over a year of staying indoors, we definitely can't blame people for wanting to get out there. But there's another part of the population who needs the weekends to really recharge. This part of the population recognizes that being horizontal is a luxury that is hard to pass up when you're grinding the whole week long. This group of people needs easy entertainment that doesn't require standing up or lacing up some sneakers. And we're here to provide that in the form of memes, tweets, and weirdo posts that will soothe souls without making you break a sweat.

One of the worst assumptions we make as humans is that we're the only living things that have personalities. Our brains may (allegedly) be a lot more developed than other species, but that doesn't mean other animals don't have the capacity to express themselves. Some might call it anthropomorphization, but where's the fun in that? Most animals might not be able to speak, but actions speak louder than words anyway. There's nothing strange to see here in this gallery, just a few different creatures going about their business with no questions asked.
Frog memes are kind of a thing. Not quite as popular as the "monke" memes that have been flying around over the last year, but popular nonetheless. It's not hard to see why. The amphibians can be insanely cute - and they come in all kinds of sizes. The biggest frog known to humans s the aptly named "Goliath frog," which can grow to a massive 12.5 inches and weigh more than half that. The smallest? They boast a whopping size of 7.7 mm and were actually discovered in Papua New Guinea in 2012. Here at Memebase we're not size queens, and appreciate every kind of frog imaginable. But most of all, we like them in memes. And thanks to the internet, there's absolutely no shortage of weird amphibious comedy. See for yourself.
Howdy, meme wranglers. We're getting closer to the summermonths, and here in the United States, the weather is starting to make us feel a bit...different. Pretty soon the pavement will be looking wavy from the heat, and commuting to the office will feel more like an energy-depleting slow roast than an invigorating, blood-pumping journey. These vibes always make us feel a little like a lone cowboy swinging open the doors of a dusty saloon as tumbleweeds bounce behind him.
Though our realities (office drones safe in air-conditioned spaces) really don't align with that of Wild West cowhands, we can get into the vibe with the wealth of dank memes made in their honor. We've put together this gallery made up mostly of weirder ones, but you can scroll through a whole lot more over at Know Your Meme.
While it's truly amazing that people struggling physical and mental illnesses or disabilities can receive assistance from a service animal, this thread points out just how easy it is to fake these needs to abuse the system. Lying in this way can give service animals a bad reputation, complicate the lives of people who really need the animals, and could even hurt people. This Tumblr thread couldn't cover these issues more perfectly.
It's pretty hard to feel one with nature when you're trapped inside your room all day. Seems like the closest some of us city-slickers can get to an epic outdoor adventure is watching Planet Earth or scrolling through some funny animal memes. Well, if you're looking to temporarily ease that desire to go camping, perhaps these nature memes will help with that. We've got a whole bunch of funny and wholesome memes and tweets featuring owls, cats, lizards, frogs, and even king of the wild himself—David Attenborough. Until we can all frolic through the wilderness, let's enjoy some epic memes in the meantime.
