A good, solid knowledge of grammar is important for anyone who wants to get their point across in an intelligent manner. But we all know those grammar snobs who just love to use the good old ad hominem fallacy - that is, attacking a grammatical mistake that is completely irrelevant to the argument at hand.

As we blast into another sad weekend with nothing to do, let's take a minute to enjoy some memes. They're a low-pressure and, at least for right now, low-guilt activity with which to expend ones dullest hours. This assortment of amusing tweets, Tumblr posts, and memes is just the tip of the iceberg. If you find yourself needing more, check out some of our latest meme galleries here and here. Happy scrolling! 

We often lament the current state of healthcare in the United States, but judging by these social media posts, we need to take a much harder look at the state of our school systems. These morons either cut all their Sex Ed classes or even worse - didn't have access to a sexual education program at all. 

For more cringey ignorance, check out these abominable posts we shared last year.

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the authorities have decided that school kids should have to go back to their physical classrooms this fall instead of taking online classes via Zoom, which has sparked obvious concern among teachers, parents, and students alike. All we can really say is: godspeed to the students reading this.

There are four types of students in group projects: the class clown, the popular kid, the dumb lazy kid, and of course, the smart kid who ends up doing all the work in the end. And if you're extra unlucky you'll end up with all of them in a group at once. If you happen to be the smart kid, we don't really have any advice for you other than that's just part of growing up.

Not a soul knows when schools will operate in-person again, so we thought we'd deliver you the next best thing to real education: educational memes. Okay, so admittedly they won't come anywhere close to the school experience, but at least they're more entertaining than school? Sure, we'll go with that.

We don't think that anyone needs an excuse to peruse memes. We think its our right to indulge in procrasturbatory meme-scrolling. It feels like life's been giving us so few rewards lately. We absolutely deserve some memes as a treat. And there are a whole lot of 'em right here.

As meme formats go, starter pack memes have been seriously killing it since their inception. The relatable and often very specific memes started in 2014, and became so popular that there's even a subreddit dedicated to the format. We put together some newer start packs for you to peruse, but we've got a whole lot more where these came from.

It's difficult to count the ways that the pandemic has uprooted our lives. Many of us are jobless. People have lost loved ones. We're all getting cabin fever from being cooped up in our homes. But kids have got it pretty weird. And so do parents. As their studies move to the internet, children are being forced to endure "Zoom classes." And while that seems pretty surreal and scary for many of us, kids happen to be super adaptable. And that adaptability can often translate to humor. These tweets, which come from parents eavesdropping on their children's virtual lessons, are some seriously wholesome proof of that. 

If you grew up in the '90s then scrolling through this Twitter thread will give you a serious case of nostalgia. Twitter user Melina threw together a hodgepodge of images of things we had completely forgotten about from our schooling days and let's just say, they took us on a little trip down memory lane.

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?
