WTF is 2020, y'all. Honestly at this point should we even ask questions? Because absolutely nothing is surprising to us anymore. In this installment of apocalypse bingo, researchers found evidence that there may be a parallel universe where the laws of physics and time appear to operate in reverse. Many others are also skeptical of the findings, so take everything with a grain of salt. But of course, that hasn't stopped memers from reacting in the best ways. See some of the reactions below!

When  Hugo-Award winning writer Mary Kowal penned a New York Times essay about gender bias in space, she did not expect a wealth of responses claiming that women we kept from space travel due to a lack of adequate bathroom technology. The concept that only women would face issues relieving themselves was so preposterous that Kowal took to Twitter in hopes of enlightening the masses with some serious space potty history. 

In the thread, Kowal manages to destroy some seriously absurd bathroom-related gender bias and teach us a whole lot about the process of pooping and peeing in zero gravity. It's an informative yet wild and wildly funny ride, and really leaves us with the desire to observe a glove of purple piss floating out of a space toilet. If Kowal schooled you as hard as she did us, give her a follow on Twitter. She's got loads more wisdom to share.

If you've been in the dark (ha, get it?) about the news lately, then you may have missed the announcement yesterday that the first-ever images of a black hole were captured - a feat that many scientists believed was impossible until recently. 

While this news is obviously interesting AF to nearly anyone with eyes, memers seem to care more about the fact that the image itself is a little more blurry than they'd like. That, and the fact that the cloudy pic has been making for some pretty great (and very stupid) dank memes.

And in case you missed our first round of these fresh and totally ridiculous black hole memes, check 'em out here! Or check out this hilarious rare steak meme that has found a resurgence in usage.

Know Your Meme,our favorite authority on all things meme-related, just put together a pretty comprehensive entry on presentation meme formats. Those Lisa Simpson memes you love? Yeah, they're in there. We've rounded up some of our favorites, but we hope you'll take the time to make your own. We're firm believers that we should always "say it with memes." 

We never thought a Mars rover could make us get a little teary-eyed, but here we are. It was announced that the well-loved robot Opportunity finally bit the dust on Wednesday after a remarkable almost-15-year run. The scrappy rover lost power during a dust storm last June, prompting NASA's decision to pull the plug on the entire mission. Interestingly, Oppy's twin Spirit passed away in a similar manner on the other side of the planet after a five-year run. 

To aid the grief process, the internet has been meme-ing Opportunity, and we're here for it.

With these posters, NASA helps us to imagine a future without limits. The stunning (and free) space tourism posters were created to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Voyager missions, and depict other planets in a vibrant, nearly retro manner. As you look through the images, NASA implores you to remember that you can be an architect of the future. 

Bon voyage!

Don't show these memes to your mom. 

Let's get this meme party started.

Mike Pence is getting roasted following his visit to NASA's Kennedy Space Station on July 6th. During his tour, the Vice President was photographed gently caressing a piece of critical space hardware sporting a sign that clearly reads "Do Not Touch." The image quickly went viral, prompting a whole lot of photoshop edits and memes. Here are our favorites.
