the rock

We're not terribly picky when it comes to wasting time on the internet. There's not much opportunity to be choosy when we're constantly being inundated with terrible news and politics. So sometimes we have to turn to memes of yore to keep us busy. This gallery is a mix of old and gold memes and some fresher memes to keep things current. Here's hoping they help dull the pain for a little while.

You're gonna need an ice pack after you read these sick burns from Twitter, Reddit and more!

It's hard to believe that The Rock is 6'5" in this photo which shows him next to Chinese retired pro basketball player Sun Mingming, who is 7'9." He previously held the title of tallest basketball player in the world, and he and his wife currently hold the record for tallest couple in the world.

This "Dad and the dog" dank meme combines two of our favorite things: dads and doggos. The meme exploits the idea that dads are truly marshmallows under their tough exteriors. The first instance of the meme featured Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson with a cute dog, paired with a joke about a dad's hesitance about getting a dog, and his eventual love for the damn critter. The memes have been popping off since early this week, and it's easy to see why. 

We lament the end of The Office  all the damn time, but we're starting to realize the show has been pretty much immortalized by memes. It's almost impossible to scroll through Instagram or Reddit without stumbling upon hilarious jokes about the show or using its imagery. While the show concluded over six years ago, it's brought us some incredible meme formats - most of which are represented in this gallery. Our favorite? It's definitely Jim Smiling Through Blinds, but there's something here for every Office fan.

Happy Scorpio season to all youastrology freaksout there! And rest in power to Libra season. To celebrate the beginning of an intense month, we put together these Scorpio memes for what we like to call the "fire signs of the water signs." Don't try to cross a Scorpio, especially during their season. You won't emerge unscathed. That's a promise.

As shallow tabloids go, the Daily Mail is one of the worst offenders out there. The publication is famous for "reporting" on female celebrities faces and figures as they go about their days. Some of their choice headlines today include "Christine McGuinness flaunts her tanned and toned figure in an underboob baring thong bikini as she hits the beach in Mallorca" and "Ashley Graham puts growing baby bump on display in black leggings to workout... as she praises her fans for sharing their stretch mark photos". Twitter account @MaleDaily1 (The Daily Male) is here to flip these sketchy reporting practices and apply them to all your favorite male celebrities. Reading about Danny Devito "pouring" into a black outfit and Piers' Morgan "hiding his famous hourglass physique" really shows you just how awful the Daily Mail is about featuring women. We're not sure if this account will flip the script on their reporting, but we hope that it'll make the general public a bit more aware regarding these gender discrepancies. In the meantime, the photoshops are wildly funny, and we can't wait for more.

We've finally made it to the weekend, y'all. It's time we enjoyed a palate cleanser after a depressing, draining, soul-sucking week. That's what these memes are for.

If you're looking to enjoy the wit, bullsh*t, and general nonsense of Twitter without the unending political commentary, this list of funny tweets is totally here for you. From Nintendo references to puns about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, these tasty tidbits will definitely waste at least 2 minutes of your tedious time. 

Whether you're shirking your duties at your pathetic, dead-end desk job, or just trying to find a way to escape reality while endlessly studying for your finals, these memes are here to help you out. If you need more procrastination fuel (which we're sure you do) please check out some more time-wasting memes right here. Remember - we're here to help. 

These photobombs prove that even our favorite celebrities are capable of making or ruining photos with their goofy presence!

The well-known stereotype is that men aren't the...cleanest human beings on the planet. Obviously stereotypes aren't always true, but these Twitter users are posting the grossest mens' bathrooms that they've personally seen.

We've got cute animals, witty tweets and general stupidity all wrapped up here!
