Tuesday is the worst day of the week. You haven't passed over the hump, you're just stuck in the beginning of the agony that is a Monday through Friday workweek. Fortunately we have a sizable batch of stupid memes, ready and willing to distract you!

Toronto, the capital of Ontario, is the most statistically multicultural city in the world. While there are probably millions of heartwarming success stories, the tale of Nav Bhatia, who immigrated to the city from India in the 80's, is especially touching. After almost 25 years of never missing a game, he's been given the official title of Toronto Raptors Superfan and community ambassador. His presence at their basketball games, and court-side seats, have been well-documented, but until now, his amazing story has been pretty much under wraps. That changed when correspondent Mohammad Lila shared Bhatia's saga in a touching Twitter thread that we're going to be remembering for years to come.
We've made it to the home stretch, people. One more day and us Monday through Friday office drones are free for an extremely temporary couple of days. Will we actually make use of that free time and do something productive or meaningful? Absolutely not! These memes will help you prep for a weekend of doing the bare minimum. You're welcome.
So, we have to admit that we don't normally care too much about sports, but we do love when a good meme comes around. After the Portland Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard hit the winning shot against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday (which you can watch below), Lillard stared right into the camera with an apathetic facial expression as his teammates celebrated around him.
The still has been getting meme'd and photoshopped like crazy by people playfully mocking Lillard for having an incredibly lackluster reaction to quite a feat!
Whatever you do, don't make eye contact or look at the screen.
Time to plan my next move.
It's not often that clickbait does anything more than elicit eye-rolls or lamentation from most of us, but today we're happy to say this is not the case. We're here to thank The Daily Mirror for composing a tweet so incredibly clickbait-y that Twitter has turned the damn thing into a meme. To promote a piece about a Tinder love-connection gone wrong, the publication tweeted the following:
"Woman's perfect Tinder date with 'The One' shattered by five simple words."
It's a pretty histrionic title, especially when considering the five words: "Stay away from my boyfriend." Her supposed Prince Charming was not, in fact, an eligible bachelor. The spicy yet vague headline immediately put Twitter to work. Social media jokesters started to tweet five words that would leave them shook - and the rest is history. We'll keep our politics to ourselves, but Julia Carver's (now deleted) tweet is on point. This website could never love someone who doesn't get down with some Popeyes.
If you've ever wondered exactly which day Ice Cube was rapping about in his 1993 classic "Today was a Good Day," then boy are you in luck! Some genius on Tumblr took the time to do some deductive reasoning to solve the mystery, using the lyrics of the song itself.
