future

The end of 2020 is finally approaching after what felt like a whole decade of disaster and disappointment. Many are lamenting the failures of this year by looking ahead and fantasizing about what 2021 would look like if it was as good as 2020 was bad. u/ilikepintobeans posted this exact question to r/AskReddit and the general consensus was that in an ideal world, coronavirus and global warming would be 'cured.' Some redditors put a pretty entertaining sci-fi spin on their answers. Considering all that's happened and what is to come, it's safe to say that we all desire a better world for everyone.

We're willing to bet that every once in a while, Bill Gates gets out of bed in the morning and has an "Oh God what have I done" kind of moment, regarding his contributions to technology. These memes poke fun at that sentiment, and more specifically they roast the totally moronic content that people on the internet (for some reason) find humorous in 2020. 

If you're in need of more dank content, we've rounded up last week's best dank memes here!

Rapper Future is no stranger to the meme game. He's been the star of many a mocking relationship-centric meme since "Future Sending Exes Texts" came onto the scene around Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, instead of making a mockery of ex-boyfriends, this meme seems to wag a finger at promiscuous women. The tweets feature the text "She belongs to the streets," which was popularized by Future - and many of the meme creators seem to acknowledge their misogynistic nature by labeling the rapper's tome as the "Book of Misogyny." We're hoping the people who retweet the memes are aware of the slightly problematic message - and hope women know it's okay to run free. We all know that dudes see no qualms about it.

Pretty much everyone has that toxic ex who just won't go away. Maybe they text you at weird hours. Maybe they like your photos from a year ago on days that meant something when you were together. Maybe you had to block them. These toxic exes always seem to pop up during the holidays, and these memes of the rapper Future perfectly exemplify these scummy and opportunistic individuals. The meme, which was birthed on Twitter, features several different photos of the rapper appearing to be sending a text message. The text is almost always a softboi-esque attempt at forcing someone to think of them under the guise of a wholesome message. The transparent "Thinking of you" texts are so relatable that this meme was pretty much guaranteed to take off. And take off it has. While they started around Thanksgiving, a wealth of the jokes have continued to pop up through Christmas, and we expect to see more into the new year. 

Futurism is a comic that takes sad parts of our technological/societal realities and kinda blows them up to show us some seriously sad future possibilities. For more dystopian drawings, give 'em a follow here.
