Paging all fathers, grandfathers, surrogate fathers, and maybe even some George Michael-style father figures and zaddies. This collection of memes has been carefully curated with your brand in mind. It's full ofdad jokes, bad jokes, puns, and some memes about fatherly duties for good measure. It hasn't been an easy time to raise and mess with ones kids (hello, perpetual home-schooling) but here's hoping the gratification of molding a human's future (and pestering them with corny jokes) hasn't gone anywhere. Here's to you.

They're everywhere, all around us. They are omniscient. They're a powerful, unstoppable force. They influence the way we think and feel about the world. The mere sight of them is enough to emotionally manipulate us. They demand our attention at all hours of the day and distract us from urgent matters. They once imitated life but now life imitates them. They've infiltrated our communication channels and they flood our devices. We speak through them and they speak through us. They are…memes.

Memes don't always have to be straightforward and relatable to everyone. Sometimes a meme that feels slightly off can make your brain do a double take. They're not for everyone, but weird memes have their own special charm that deserve appreciation. If you were always the odd one in school or feel like an outsider in most social situations, these are probably the memes for you. Embrace your inner weirdness.
Twitter is an absolute minefield of horrible discourse. It's kind of like Rule 34. If it exists, Twitter will find a way to debate and troll it to oblivion. As summer is swiftly approaching (our chub-rub chafed thighs believe it's already here) the discourse has taken a turn to summer fashion. Specifically, men's shorts.

Twitter user @cheracuse seems to have inspired the controversy with a matter-of-fact tweet that argues 5" inseams are the only correct path for men who want to wear shorts. A statement like that is bound to garner reactions, and these Twitter users were happy to oblige with their two cents. While some men were concerned that their thunder thighs or extra meat wouldn't work with this specific trend, most people (especially women) seem to be on board with the PSA. We're inclined to agree with the thirsty people of the internet: 5 inches or higher is the way to go. But we're here for the debate because, well, it's nice to see the internet fighting over something like shorts for a change.
If you're feeling bored right now, you're definitely not alone. Even dank memes and amusing tweets can lose meaning. That's why we like to pepper our internet browsing experience with painful cringe pics. Not only will they make you feel something (mostly discomfort or disgust) but they'll make you appreciate fluffy content more than you ever have before.

Growing up my mother used to accuse me of "creative incompetence," a complicated manner of getting out of chores that I really, really didn't like. You know, like sweeping. I'd dramatically "fail" at sweeping to be absolved of the tedious task and my mother's 99 cent store brooms. These geniuses? Well, they're definitely creative. But it's looking like while they're risking it all (and definitely not complying to OSHA) they're actually...getting the damn job done. Maybe someday I'll have the same ambition.
There's no shortage of insecure people who need to convince everyone around them of how badass they are, and boy do they make themselves known on the internet. Whether they're posting empty threats to no one in particular or aggressively captioned mirror selfies of their epic ripped six packs, they make sure there's no doubt in anyone's mind about how tough they are. We've got a cringey collection of messages and posts from bros who think they're very badass.
Ever been hit with a smug comeback or 'fun fact' that you're certain is illogical but still can't be argued with? The sort of remark that feels wrong but is technically true and makes you want to simultaneously punch and high-five the perpetrator. You know what we're talking about. And if you don't, then you've probably missing out on the comedy gold of r/technicallythetruth. Not to worry! We've collected a bunch of amusing posts from the sub for you to laugh and/or roll your eyes at.

Concentration is overrated. It might be what allows us to get things done, but it's also extremely boring. It makes people tired and when it's done hard enough it causes headaches and irritation. Luckily, we already know the perfect antidote to this: memes. Humor will always be there to take the pressure off the hard work and the internet blesses us daily with more and more examples of it. There's no shame in indulging in a meme scroll again, especially when they're this good.
What would the world do without memes? Not only are they an increasingly dominant form of humor, but they also allow people to communicate all types of things that they might not be able to otherwise. Memes can reveal our darkest secrets, or voice opinions we haven't found a way to express. They chart our failures and successes, or simply act as a way to air the grievances that don't get heard elsewhere. All these uses mean the internet is never short of things to raise a chuckle or two, and you can find a tiny handful of those here.

Out of all the characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Loki is the only one who could get away with trying to kill us all twice, dying three times, and then still getting his own Disney+ show. But, before MCU Loki came along, the lovable scamp already had 50 years of villainous stories in the comics - stories like Loki's unhealthy obsessions with candy and eugenics, his troubling love of female identity theft, and the time he turned the god of thunder into the frog of thunder..

Another day, another dollar. Sometimes it really does feel like we're all working our whole lives away. Whether you're working from home, in an office, at a bar, driving drunk people around, in a grocery store—it's essentially all the same sh*t if you think about it. Just a dull, thankless hell making more wealth for the big boss as the bills and debt pile up. Well you know what, there's one thing they can't take from us: memes. Scroll on the clock or text 'em to your coworkers. Hell, maybe even take it to the next level and make some work memes of your own in those moments where you've just had enough.
In the words of Dolly Parton, "9 to 5! For service and devotion, you would think that I would deserve a fair promotion. Want to move ahead, but the boss won't seem to let me. I swear sometimes that man is out to get me."
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.
TikTok from the outside appears to be a pretty insular online community with a chaotic method of delivering content that is daunting to inexperienced users. Because of this, many stay on the outside and make up their minds about the app, but we'd argue that these people might be missing out on one of the most interesting parts of TikTok—the comments. This shouldn't be a big surprise, since we all know you can always find gold in the YouTube comments, for example. The comments are also an interesting insight into what's going on in the minds of Gen Z—though all ages use the app, almost half of the users are under the age of 24.
Since June, Twitter account @commentsooc has been doing a great job documenting some of the best of TikTok's comments. If you're interested in taking a look into this world but are too scared of the app, you've come the the right place.
While the internet has given people the ability to share images of themselves and (apparently) the world around them, it's also give people the opportunity to attempt to alter reality with the handy dandy tool that is Photoshop. Or worse, budget programs that are meant to alter ones appearance on dating apps or Instagram. Blatant catfishing aside, the practice not only takes people for fools, but it reveals some seriously messed up insecurities. Or, in the case of retail websites and photographers, a seriously stingy practice of cutting costs. While we feel for those with crappy body image, we can't help but laugh at these arguably terrible attempts at suave photo editing. They're cringey. They're shoddy. And they're absolutely hilarious.
Have you ever thought about how many memes are living in the great expanse of the internet? The number must be staggering. Thousands (if not millions) of memes are circulating the web at any given moment, making their way to the screens of bored, humor-seeking individuals such as yourselves. The variety of memes that exist is also staggering. But relatable memes and memes about cute animals seem to be the most popular. If you look further into the meme-filled abyss, you'll find that there are some weirder, more subversive examples of internet humor to be enjoyed. This here gallery boasts all of the above. And just think - you're only viewing, like, .0005 of the world's memes. Wild.
