If you disregard the physics of time actually 'stopping' and what that would mean, essentially the real question becomes: If you had 48 hours to do anything you wanted, what would you do? According to the answers in this r/AskReddit thread, people generally fall into two categories—those who would do crime and those who would prank as many people as possible. A handful of the busier redditors would love to just do nothing for once. We've collected some of the most amusing answers from this popular thread. It's hard to read through these without considering all the different possibilities, which makes for a pretty fun daydream session. 

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. 

Ever see a meme or tweet that while cursed or coy, was actually 100% true? If not, we're happy to introduce you to r/technicallythetruth. The subreddit is jam-packed with clever, smug, and sometimes unintentional sentiments that can't be argued with. While they may not be revolutionary, and some of the memes might be dumb, they're pretty damn entertaining. We've put together some of their latest and greatest arguably true tidbits for your perusal.

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. 

As long as social media has existed, women have been the unwilling recipients of cringey, creepy solicitations, and more recently - graphic, unwanted imagery. And as new messaging sites and apps are becoming popular, the messages are multiplying. Fortunately many women are not afraid to SHUT. IT. DOWN. These are their stories. 

If you're feeling down on yourself or like life has dealt you a raw deal, take comfort in the fact that you're not one of these horribly cringe-worthy individuals. From horrifying social media posts, to regret-filled pieces of "art," we're willing to bet these cringe pics will make you feel a hell of a lot better about yourself and your situation.

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!
