In case you were in the mood for a little dark and depressing humor, you've come to the right place! In light of the Global Climate Strike happening today, we're bringing you some climate change-related memes that probably won't give you any hope for our dying planet! On that note, please enjoy the memes!

Are you a smart person? Did you study philosophy? Are you into...theory? Well, these memes are for you. They're heady. They're philosophical. And they love to name-check Foucault. While we're not expecting everyone to *get* each image macro, we love that they exist at the bizarre intersection of academia and easily digestible humor. And if you crave more? Check out Welcome to the Desert of the Meme. The page is in the process of pivoting to Instagram, but you can soak up their classics on the ol' FB.
Want to feel like absolute shit about love in a digital world? Well, cartoonist Tommy Siegel has some cartoons for you! He's taken Necco's (RIP) classic conversation hearts and put a seriously dark spin on the Valentine's confection. Instead of cutesy messages, he uses the hearts as to convey some seriously depression truths about dating, relationships, and marriage. And somehow, we can't get enough of his dark work. If you like what you see here, give the dude a follow on Instagram. He deserves it.
The internet is reacting to comments made by Donald Trump during a COVID-19-related press briefing held yesterday. Trump claimed that the virus could be treated by bringing "light inside the body" or injecting a disinfectant. Thankfully medical professionals were quick to denounce these claims, and people on the internet have since been creating some excellent memes on the matter.
This should go without saying, but please don't inject yourself with disinfectant, y'all.
Poor ol' Joe Biden has been the subject of many memes in this election cycle. Whether you love him or hate him, you have to admit that they've been pretty amusing. This particular meme mocks a campaign avatar where one can insert their image next to text that says "I'm on team Joe!" It's moderately cringey to say the least, but cringey makes for the best meme material.
Let's face it: Donald Trump's son-in-law and Senior Advisor Jared Kushner doesn't have many fans. The newspaper publisher and real estate investor has been at the heart of conflict-of-interest controversy since as early as 2017. Right now, however, most of the negative attention towards the dude is based on his appearance. Twitter user @calleread saw an old photo of Ivanka's husband and was stunned by his apparent deterioration. She uploaded a photo comparing the old Kushner to the new and decidedly not-improved Kushner and other users were quick to theorize what had happened. From Botox to horcruxes, the theories are pretty hilarious. Especially if you're a Kushner-hater yourself.
Twitter user @Voodoo_Pork wowed the site yesterday when they posted evidence that many failed presidential candidates share this one weird trait: "Sad Dad Beards." The tweet came with ample evidence of this trend, with snaps of presidential hopefuls from Pete Buttigieg to Ted Cruz. Funny replies started stacking up, with some serious zingers and a whole lot of photoshopped images of female candidates. And guess what? We've put 'em all here for your easy access. Bearded Elizabeth Warren is definitely something else.
Are you a total freak who actually enjoys the incessant political commentary stemming from the coronavirus disaster? Well, you're in luck! We've trawled Twitter and Reddit for these politically charged tidbits. So you don't have to. Just try to keep your blood pressure in check while scrolling. Gotta take care of that immune system.
In these trying and crazy times, Kentuckians are looking to Governor Andy Beshear for answers. His daily 5pm livestream updates have become popular for their wholesome messages and his amusing call-outs to stubborn bingo halls that just won't close for coronavirus quarantining. He's even earned himself a Facebook meme page, entitled "Andy Beshear Memes for Social Distancing Teens."
Check some of them out below!
Last night Americans tuned in to watch the audience-free live democratic debate between remaining candidates Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. Topics of discussion included the Green New Deal, Donald Trump, and of course, the COVID-19 pandemic. You can watch the debate here to decide for yourself who won, and click here for more political memes!
Here's a message for stupid people everywhere who refuse to take the threat of coronavirus seriously: not everything in life is about you. And there's perhaps no one who needs to hear this message more than Katie Williams, former pageant queen and candidate for Board of Trustees in the Clark County, Nevada school district.
Williams has tweeted some unbelievably moronic things regarding the coronavirus pandemic, but luckily people have been calling her out on it with the hashtag "Corona Katie." That's right people, this woman is running for office, and she doesn't care if she spreads the disease to anyone else!
For those who aren't yet sick of the dark humor, have some COVID-19 memes!
There are two camps of people in this world: people who understand satire, and people who...don't.
The following facepalm-worthy posts exist solely as a reminder for you to always read up on the smallest amount of current events simply so you don't end up like these unfortunate people. RIP.
