We're all for relatable memes. They make us realize that our "quirks" and pain are shared with others, and that we're not actually alone. But when we are on a mission to consume a lot of memes at once, it's preferable that there be some strange (or even cursed) memes in the mix. So we're here to give you a little of both. That warm and relatable meme feeling, as well as some memes that boast strange, creepy, or depressing humor. You can have it all. 

As an aging millennial it's easy to find myself yearning for simpler times. While yes, dial-up was technically the internet, it was very hard to find yourself glued to a screen for 14 hours of the day. New music was something you read about in a magazine or stumbled upon at a brick and mortar record store. Blockbuster was thriving. We could wax nostalgic for days (what is a day, even?) but we'll save our breath and let these memes take you down memory lane instead.

They've been saying that Thursday is the new Friday for years. So why doesn't it feel as good? It lacks the feeling of imminent freedom, but boasts the same kind of restlessness that comes along with waiting for 5 or 6pm on the last day of the average work week. Fortunately, a little humor can go a long way where feeling like there's a light at the end of the tunnel is concerned. And there's a whole lot of it packed into these memes and tweets.

It is said that variety is the spice of life, and we're in agreement. That's why this collection of memes has a little bit of everything. There are some history memes for the buffs, a few philosophy memes for the thinkers, and then some of the more generally funny & relatable memes that everyone loves so much. Happy scrolling! 

It feels like just yesterday Twitter was roasting Nate Robinson after his fight with Jake Paul, but UFC's Twitter fanbase has a new victim as of last night: Conor McGregor. The Irish ex-featherweight fighter went down against Dustin Poirier in the second round of their match in Abu Dhabi. UFC fans - especially people who believe McGregor needs to hang up his gloves - were quick to meme photos of McGregor out cold. The memes, which are mostly relatable (or feature Bernie Sanders), have almost become more fun than the fight itself. If he ever ends up fighting Jake Paul, at least we know we have some comedy to look forward to. 

Happy Monday, y'all! We're back with fresh and (sometimes) clever tweets that were shared on Ye Olde Bird App this past week. While it kind of feels like politics have calmed down a bit since Joe Biden's inauguration, we still think it's worth avoiding Twitter. So we've put together this gallery of weird, funny and relatable tweets from some of our favorite accounts. It's not much, but it's honest work. 

Happy Monday, y'all. We know a lot of you are supposed to be working, but there's something to be said for rewarding yourself for simply making things work. Before you surrender yourself to responsibility, it can be good to carve out a little time to just enjoy life. For some people that might mean a morning yoga practice or an extra large latte. For us? It's all about enjoying memes.

Happy Friday! While it has definitely been hard to avoid some of this week's trending memes (cough Bernie Sanders cough), it's sometimes nice to take a look at the best dank memes that have popped up on Reddit over the last 7 days. That's why we are here to bring you "The Dank Drop." Unfortunately for some of you, a couple of the week's best memes were inspired by Wednesday's Inauguration, but there are still a ton of apolitical, stupid, spicy, and relatable memes to enjoy along the way. And if you crave more dankness, check out last week's list. We've got lots more where these came from. 

Happy Friday, y'all. You've officially made it through another week in hell on planet Earth! Unfortunately for many of us, it's kind of difficult to celebrate the end of a grueling workweek thanks to Covid-19. The only respite we have (besides, like, Netflix and going outdoors for "walks") comes in the form of memes. And we're bringing a whole lot of 'em straight to you.

Yesterday we covered the explosion of memes on Twitter inspired by images of Bernie Sanders sitting down at the inauguration. Since then, the internet has not stopped producing Bernie memes and so we thought it would be appropriate to do a follow-up collection of all the best memes that have popped up in the last 24 hours. We've got Bernie looking cold and stern in famous paintings, hollywood movies, Game of Thrones, Mike Pence's head, sitting next to Keanu Reeves, in a Where's Waldo scene, chillin' in the rain with Totoro, having a staring contest with Marina Abramović—by the end of the week, Bernie might have appeared in every iconic moment in history. Once again, we are thanking Bernie for the memes.

As you may have heard, today the 46th President of the United States was sworn into office. Sure, Joe Biden won the presidency, but Bernie Sanders won the internet today when he showed up in his iconic Burton winter jacket, a standard blue surgical mask, and huge woolen mittens made from recycled materials. In a sea of predictable black trench coats, Bernie really made a statement when he arrived clutching that manila envelop like he was stopping by the inauguration on his way to the post office. 

Unsurprisingly and with impressive haste, Twitter meme'd the hell out of Bernie's look every step of the way. We've collected some of the funniest Twitter memes and reactions to Bernie's whole inauguration vibe. Thanks for all the memes, Bernie.

We're not gonna sugar coat it: everything kinda sucks. But there's one bullet-proof defense us humans have against suffering, and that's humor. Humans are so damn good at laughing through the pain; it's remarkable really. Memes often perfectly reflect what we're collectively going through, and we've got some good ones that fit the profile. This batch also includes memes of encouragement, depression memes, absurd shitposts, and memes with dumb dad humor. An assortment of memes with one thing in common—funny.

On day two of the supreme court confirmation hearings, Amy Coney Barrett held up a blank notepad to reveal that she hadn't been referencing any notes during questioning. Many republicans were impressed by this 'epic ownage' of the libs, but memelords of the internet knew exactly what was about to go down. We all know what happens when a public figure holds up a piece of paper: memes, baby. 

We've narrowed it down to some of our favorite ACB notepad memes and even included examples of other times the internet did its thing with a blank canvas. These politicians make it way too easy. 

In trying times, Millennials turn to memes for generational solidarity, dumb humor, and temporary distraction from crippling existential dread. But while we all continue to scroll our pain away on the daily, rarely do we ever stop and think about the people behind the scenes who work tirelessly to provide us with top-notch content so that we may not die from boredom. Our mission is to find the creators behind the memes that make our lives that much more bearable.

In this installment, we caught up with Margeaux, a 27-year-old Brooklyn-based meme creator and the brains behind the Instagram account @spilledmyjuice, to talk with her about her creative process.
