Happy weekend! If you're looking for a way to tune out and laugh your worries away, we're here to help. This hefty assortment of memes has a little bit of everything and that means there's something for every kind of meme lover. Dog memes? Check. Depressing memes? Check. Incredibly dumb memes? We've got those too.

Just like a special one-night-stand or someone "that got away," there are some memes that stay in our hearts forever, a sweet memory that never fails to make us laugh. And that's arguably healthier than having constant intrusive thoughts about a person whose personality is a total projection. Anyway. Twitter user @kittynouveau asked users to share their own special go-to memes in a thread yesterday, and the results do not disappoint.

While some of the memes shared are specimens we've seen many, many times before (enough with the cats, alright?), others were new to us, and some of those were a delightful amalgam of weird, dumb, and funny. And that's exactly what we gravitate towards. We've put together some of the best submissions in this gallery, but the thread is overflowing with almost every kind of meme. And almost every single one of them is funny.

Whether you need a good arsenal of memes in your back pocket to send to the group chat or you're more of a solitary scroller, there's no right or wrong way to enjoy memes. Sure, some might scoff and accuse you of wasting precious time on mindless drivel. But to all the curmudgeons out there, we leave you with this wise old saying: Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I scroll through dank memes in the bathroom stall on company time.
One of the best things about memes is how friendly they can be. Whether they are relatable or the peak of weird humor, consuming the best ones can be like sharing a joke with a friend. Even the most cursed, eye-bleach worthy ones give a sense of familiarity it is hard to find anywhere else. Should we ditch our real-life social circle to stare at memes all day? I mean, no, that is a terrible idea. However, in those times when it seems like the rest of the world is against us, it's nice to know there's something fighting our corner — even if it is making fun of us at the same time.
For months we've been hearing the words "Buy the dip" in regards to both meme stocks and crypto. But these days, the mantra is starting to feel like something of a joke. Bitcoin plummeted to under 30k earlier today, and hasn't rebounded by much. Ethereum is hovering around a sad 1.8k, and Dogecoin, unsurprisingly, has also sh*t the bed. The meme coin has dropped to 19 cents - the lowest it's been since April.
The dismal and bloody charts have manyHODLrs lamenting their dedication to buying the dip on social media - but some optimistic folks are actually lamenting the opposite. They wish they had more money to drop during the crash. We're just amazed that people have any money to throw into the ring. Despite the polarizing feelings, we can't seem to escape the memes and tweets. Here's hoping the jokes go from self-loathing and scared to celebratory. We could all use a little extra dough in our wallets.

If there's one thing the entertainment industry refuses to get enough of, it's rehashing what it's already done. This year alone, audiences will be receiving updated versions of everything from Beavis and Butthead to Sex And The City. Are they running out of ideas? Maybe. Do they know there is money in exploiting a readymade fanbase? For sure. Nostalgia sells, but it has to come with a modern twist.
This can be seen with Gossip Girl, one of the latest shows to undergo the reboot treatment. In the mid-noughties, the series defined an era of trashy drama with its portrayal of glamorous, upper-class teens being as horrible to each other as humanly possible. Created at the same time as a golden era of reality TV, its premise was just as ridiculous, winning it legions of viewers.
Fast forward to now, however, and the new version has added a surprise addition into the mix: a conscience. Showrunner Josh Safran has announced that the characters in the new generation of the show will "wrestle with their privilege", taking into account social movements like Black Lives Matter and Occupy Wall Street. Needless to say, many fans are far from impressed with these changes, and they have taken to Twitter to express it. If the terrible rich people escapism formula ain't broke, don't fix it.
Ah, Sunday. The day of rest. While some people spend it at church or by indulging in quality family time, we're more into burrowing into a cocoon and conserving energy for the horrors of Monday. Fortunately, scrolling through memes and binge watching television shows don't take much of our life force. And we've got a bunch of the former right here for your easy enjoyment.
We're surrounded by them from the moment we look at our phones after we wake up to whenever we put down our screens at the end of the day. Yet sometimes, this constant exposure to memes can make it hard to muster up much enthusiasm for them. This is the very reason that random meme galleries exist. Instead of being bombarded with the same old flavor of the month meme format, you get a more balanced selection in which you are bound to find something to enjoy. It's all the more reason to waste some more time.

First of all, we're not trying to roast anyone who's bad at spelling—we all make mistakes or fall victim to cursed autocorrections. But the results of an overlooked typo or malapropism are often pretty hilarious. Subreddit r/BoneAppleTea is totally on top of capturing these comical instances of spelling mishaps, and we've grabbed a handful of examples to share.
Ah, the vernal equinox. Spring is trying to get sprung for real, and the sun's shining just a little bit brighter. While things are starting to feel a little happier and more optimistic, we know your brains - and lifestyles - are going to need a bit of an adjustment period. So before that ambition leads to an epic day of spring cleaning, take advantage of your lingering laziness and indulge in some tasty memes. There's gonna be plenty of time to nurture hobbies and being outdoors.
It feels like Gen Z was born with their own social media logins and a smartphone in their tiny hands. For the boomers and post-war generations, things have been a bit more difficult. While some geriatrics outright reject modernity in favor of tradition, there are grandparents who embrace technology, both as a means of keeping in touch with their beloved families and complaining about, well, everything. Especially social media itself.
It's pretty easy to find old-timer posts in the wilds of Facebook, but if you're looking to enjoy them in one place, we recommend r/oldpeoplefacebook. It's a treasure trove of boomer blunders, wholesome caps-lock usage, and weird medical admissions. We've put together some gems, but there are many more where they came from. And fortunately, none of them are too political.

While we feel for people who are either lacking in the brain cell department or the education department, we sure do like laughing at their expense. These cringey geniuses really set the bar high for people who reject common sense and intelligence. And we're absolutely loving it.
Snooze the alarm all you like, it doesn't change the fact that it is the start of a new week. Monday is here again, and with it come a whole new seven days of trials and tribulations to get through. It's not all bad, though — we're bound to find some positives if we look hard enough. One of the easiest ways to do this is through the sweet relief of memes. There's nothing like some blissful meme-based distraction to make you feel like you can take on anything, or at least forget about responsibility long enough that it doesn't seem like that big a deal anymore.
It's good for some things to go from zero to 100. A blender. A train. Your grades. In these cases, escalation is both accepted and welcome. But sometimes the upturn is unexpected, unsettling, or just plain bad. This is especially true when I'm PMSing. But strange and spicy escalation doesn't just apply to moods. It's very present on the internet. From weirdly dark tweets, to mind-boggling AskReddit responses, these memes and posts are a reminder that the world is full of some very strange and very creative people.
There aren't many countries whose ego outmatches their size, yet somehow the United Kingdom manages it. It may no longer rule the waves (or much else for that matter), but its idiosyncratic society remains one of the most recognizable in the world.
Nowhere is this more apparent than on social media. The internet is regularly blessed with the delights of Scottish Twitter, and it's not hard to find memes at the expense of the Bri'ish people. However, it is Facebook that truly uncovers the inanity and insanity of Great British culture. No Context UK Facebook collects the nation's wackiest posts on the site. All in all, it paints a picture of a very strange country.
There are relatable memes in this world, and then there are starter packs. They're kind of like relatable memes on steroids, because they're not based on a feeling, they're based on real people and cultural trends that we're all very, very familiar with. Though almost all starter pack memes are incredibly specific, some of them riff on pretty obvious topics (potato-heavy clam chowder, Disney movies) while others choose to roast more distinct people and phenomena, like those "self-made" money-making gurus on Twitter. Aside from the achingly familiar themes, we love starter packs because they're constantly being made by Internet comedians, so there's no shortage of this excellent brand of humor.
