We never thought we'd have to say this sentence, but the new USPS delivery vehicle design is absolutely adorable. Which is kind of surprising considering Oshkosh Defense was contracted to build the next-generation truck—you'd think it would look like a tank with canons that launch packages into neighborhood yards. Instead it looks like a cute cartoon version of the mail truck we all know and love, or the flying car from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. The last time USPS delivery trucks got a make over was about 30 years ago, so it's safe to say they're due for a green new makeover.
Twitter is (mostly) smitten with the new design and it didn't take long for the truck to get meme'd. Not everyone is head-over-heels though—some would rather see something akin to Tesla's 'Cybertruck' (though we're not quite sure how practical that would be), and others care less about what it looks like and more about how environmentally friendly the vehicle is. We've collected some fun reactions to the newly released images of the USPS delivery vehicle.

Pixar is a well known animation studio owned by Disney. Various movies they have produced are Toy Story, The Incredible and Finding Nemo. Pixar is best known for CGI-animated feature films created with RenderMan.
On Thursday, Chris Evans expressed excitement over Pixar's announcement of 'Lightyear' coming out in 2022. He followed up with an intriguing tweet clarifying that he will be the voice of Buzz Lightyear the human, not the toy. Twitter discussed the implications of this and many were left confused and desperate for answers. Is this the origin story of the fictional Buzz Lightyear character that the toy in 'Toy Story' is based on, or is there a real Buzz Lightyear astronaut within the 'Toy Story' universe that this movie will be a sort of biopic for? And if the latter is true, does that mean the 'Toy Story' universe has sci-fi qualities (other than talking toys) we never knew about? Much to consider.
We've collected some highlights from the hilarious thread. Hopefully Chris Evans will follow up with some even more confusing clarification tweets soon.
Historically speaking, Disney movies make for some damn good memes. And this one, which comes from Inside Out. is no exception. The meme comes from a moment where Joy (voiced by Amy Poehler) reflects on one of Riley's core memories. The meme's that use the scene center mainly on embarrassing moments and blunders, or wholesome situations in which kindness made a difference in someone's life. They're pretty versatile and entertaining - and you can read more about the format over at Know Your Meme.
The characters of Pixar's Monsters, Inc. are far from strangers to the meme world. The most meme'd character of the films is probably the one-eyed Mike Wazowski, but this new format gives Sully the attention he deserves. This particular format hails from 2013's Monsters University, and features the big blue monster closing his eyes and making a hand gestures that denotes pure pleasure. It's being used to indicate the same kind of approval, and also for some, ahem, edgier jokes about war. Classic r/dankmemes. Here are a few of our favorites.
Do you ever see a dank meme that's mainly funny because of how incredibly stupid it is? Well that's kind of how we feel about this meme that features face-swapped Mike Wazowski and Sully from Monsters, Inc. It's stupid as hell and we're not totally sure why people started meme-ing it to begin with, but hey, we're certainly getting some dumb laughs out of it!
Have we mentioned how much we love Toy Story? So much so that every time we see a new Toy Story-themed meme we just gotta share it with y'all. This dank meme comes from the scene in Toy Story 1 where Buzz first discovers that he's a toy, and over the last several years has gained popularity!
The Pixar lamp intro has been a household name since the late '80s with the release of the short film "Luxo Jr." that depicts the little lamp character jumping on a ball. The internet has been making parody videos of the intro for years now, but lately memers everywhere have been creating dank memes out of the format. It's definitely a trend that we're loving right now. And speaking of childhood classics, these hilarious dank scooby doo memes are very telling as to the true nature of memes many of us take for granted.
