Do you ever come across a screenshot of a text or comment that makes you feel like you just stepped on a lego? We just winced our way through r/cringetopia and r/insanepeopleonfacebook to check out the latest masters of mortification. To be fair, not all of them are that bad. We can't be too hard on someone who never learned how to properly eat chicken wings. But damn, some of these people should really just log off. Be warned: these painful displays of cringe elevated us to new levels of facepalming.

Language and memes have a lot in common if you think about it. They're both important communication tools. Both are ever-changing foundations of contemporary culture. Both often require some context to better understand their nuances. It makes total sense that a linguist might be interested in image macros. Memes sort of function as a writing system used to tell stories—like 21st century hieroglyphics. If you're into both memes and linguistics, this batch of wordy memes about the quirks of language might be right up your alley.

If you're a fan of cooking competition shows, there's no shortage of 'em to choose from. The hectic vibe of Guy's Grocery Games. The professionalism and drama of Top Chef. The sob stories of Chopped. But where craziness is concerned, there's really nothing like the absolute chaos of Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen. There's sabotage, steep falls from grace, and (of course) some very good looking food. If you haven't indulged in the program, these memes will give you a taste of what the show is all about. And if you have? Well, you'll laugh along with the rest of us. 

If you consider a connoisseur of all things nerdy, you're going to love this gallery. It boasts a wonderful hodgepodge of Dungeons & Dragons memes, Lord of the Rings goodness, and a whole lot of gaming references. And a bit of puntastic humor for good measure.

Tumblr is a special place because quite like Reddit, reactions and replies to posts are all out there in the open for anyone else on the platform to see. The comments are just as interesting as the posts they're responding to, if not more so. If you scroll around Tumblr for long enough, you're likely to find some quirky exchanges, clever observations, and random facts—which can sometimes be a bit of a problem if you don't want to find yourself in an hours-long Tumblr hole. But you don't have to worry about that now, because we've grabbed some amusing bits and pieces for all the hasty scrollers out there.  

If you're bored of relatable memes and fluffy wholesomeness, this cringe-packed wince-inducing batch of memes will be seriously refreshing. Instead of thinking about how wonderfully alike we all are, why don't we focus on the people who are f*cked up and all the terrible things that exist on the internet and IRL. 

Let's just get this out of the way: English is a terrible language that makes no g*ddamn sense. If you're currently trying to learn it, then all we can say is, godspeed to you and we hope that these memes will help to make you feel a little more understood in the struggle.

We're not usually ones for zany Tumblr writing prompt threads, but this one is an exception. It encapsulates everything we love about quirky Tumblr. The story starts from the point of view of someone simply making a sandwich. After accidentally drawing a magical symbol with condiments, a demon is summoned to your home. And somehow manage to quell his demonic rage by making him a sandwich of his own. He likes it so much he returns with other demons. The rest is a creative, imaginative and kinda wholesome whirlwind. And it's all below.

Practically any woman can relate to this scenario: you're in a clothing store and you find a pair of jeans you like. Only thing is, when you try them on, they're tight in one area and too loose in another. And when you find another size, the same thing happens. What gives? This fascinating Tumblr thread explains why brands intentionally make arbitrary clothing sizes and why celebrities always look like their clothes fit perfectly in every single photo!

Social media users who are more active on platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit might forget that Tumblr is still active and brimming with content gold. We've got a bunch of snapshots of funny exchanges and amusing observations that illustrate why Tumblr is its own special little insular world.

Did you know boredom is the most frequently experienced human emotion? Okay we definitely just made that up, but it's not hard to believe, right? Maybe it's more that we feel so present in our boredom. Emotions like sadness or joy can be experienced in the present, when reflecting on the past, or anticipating things to come. But boredom is a particularly immediate sort of feeling, and urgent problems call for urgent solutions. We find that furiously scrolling through memes is one of the easiest and most efficient ways to stop this evil boredom in its tracks. If you haven't tried it yet, you really should. Here's some memes to get you started.

Sometimes ya just need a good ol' dose of some fresh Tumblr posts to get you through the day. There ain't no shame in that. If you're craving even more Tumblr content, click here! You know you want to...

We share a lot of nerdy memes with you. There's our Tolkien Tuesdays serial, constant Dungeons & Dragons shitposting, and, of course, tons of gaming memes. This "mixed bag" of geeky goodies instead offers a little bit of everything. After all, variety is the spice of life.

There is SO much funny and entertaining content all over the internet which makes it difficult to parse it all down into a cohesive, themed gallery. So how about we don't do that. How about we just throw a bunch of dank memes, funny tweets, and bizarre pics into a big, unwieldy pile. This would be more true to the internet experience, after all. There's one big difference though—we always weed out the bad content.
