twitter memes

There are many reasons people turn to memes. Sometimes it's because we're in the middle of a seemingly unending scroll session, avoiding reality. Other times it's because we need a little pick-me-up. The fact is that we don't think it's necessary to find an excuse to enjoy funny memes and tweets. The internet is your oyster and everyone should be able to indulge in its humorous rewards. Hopefully galleries like this make that indulgence a little easier. 

If you've been on Twitter at all this week, you're probably aware of all the discourse (and memes) about ADHD.While we agree that it's a bit over-diagnosed and some people should really not be tweeting about the disorder, the fact is that it plagues a large portion of the world, and it's really not easy to live with. The symptoms go far beyond not being able to sit still or not being able to focus on a task. These tweets might be a little too real for those of us afflicted by ADHD, but they provide a lot of insight as to what it actually feels like to struggle with the condition. 

If you're in the mood for a big ol' mix of memes and other funny internet gems, you came to the right place because that's exactly what we've got. Memes that range from dank to straight up dumb. Get ready to scroll!

Eccentric pop star Grimes never fails to perplex the internet, and this time everyone's talking about her new 'alien scars' tattoo. This week Grimes posted a picture showing off her full back tat—an unusual symmetrical design made to look like scars using white ink. Though most of her fans were supportive and impressed, a good handful people on the dubious side reacted with roasts and memes. And since we're all about the memes around these parts, that's what we'll be focusing on. Though we respect the pop icon's right to do whatever the hell she wants to her own body, we love a good spicy meme that pokes fun at a celebrity. Keep scrolling for some of our favorite funny Twitter reactions to Grimes' alien scars. 

The North remembers what happened at the red wedding, and Game of Thrones fans remember what happened in Season 8. It's been a decade since the HBO series first hooked millions of viewers, edging devoted fans with season after season of multi-layered storylines and cliff-hangers, all culminating in an underwhelming final season that felt like someone hastily sweeping dust under a rug. It's no surprise that GoT fans felt personally insulted after @GameOfThrones tweeted 'Winter is coming,' a famous line that was once heavy with the promise of an epic conclusion to the dramatic fantasy series. Game of Thrones faded out of the zeitgeist pretty quickly after that final episode, and yet even two years later, the fans are still bitter. Keep scrolling for a handful of the most amusing spicy responses to @GameOfThrones's triggering tweet. 

Humans love to throw around generalizations about the unspoken rules of dating etiquette, but when it really comes down to it, each and every relationship comes with its own little nuances and boundaries. I'm sure you've heard it a million times, so forgive the platitude, but communication really is key. Texting etiquette can be a tricky one, because unlike having a conversation in person, texting makes it possible to communicate something anytime, anywhere, to anyone who may or may not be able to receive the message at the time. This can quickly become a problem of (literal) miscommunication if the texter is putting themselves out there in a moment of peak vulnerability. The silence becomes loaded with uncertainty and maddening possibilities. For some, this can be too much to bear—I wonder what they're doing? Are they ignoring me on purpose? Surely they'd text back right away if they were actually interested. I guess they're not interested. Maybe I'll ignore them and see how they like it. For those on the other side of this anxiety, there are a million reasons why they might not be able to text back right away, the most obvious one being that people are simply busy. If someone's a serial offender of the late text, sure, it could mean that they're inconsiderate or even disinterested, or it could mean that they suffer from ADHD, or maybe they're a luddite who hates phones. The point is, there's no blanket rule for this sort of thing, which is proven in the fact that individual opinions vastly differ on the topic. This brings us to @Arii__876, who provoked an interesting discussion on the nuances of texting after she tweeted a pretty hot take claiming that nobody forgets to text someone back if they're genuinely interested in them. We've gathered a range of responses full of amusing insight on different approaches to maintaining relationships. 

Congratulations. You've made it across the treacherous and soul-sucking hump day mountain—an underrated achievement, in our opinion. It all gets easier from here. But if the promise of a relaxing weekend isn't quite enough to get you through the next couple work days, maybe these hilarious memes and tweets can curb the pain of monotony a bit. Scroll along, internet friends.

White Claw is getting a boozy makeover with its newest hard seltzer 'Surge' and the news has many reminiscing about the original Four Loko, notorious for its chaotic recipe consisting of taurine, guarana, caffeine and at one point, wormwood. The caffeinated iteration of the fabled 'premium malt beverage' was discontinued in 2010 after a series of Four Loko related deaths and accidents, but that hasn't stopped Twitter from expressing tongue-in-cheek nostalgia for those Loko nights of yore. Many are drawing comparisons between the infamous malt beverage and White Claw, which has even roused some hot takes from the Four Loko Twitter account. Whether you've got a taste for the sauce or you're a curious tea totaler, the fact that beverage news has triggered such an impassioned response is pretty amusing in itself. 

We all wish we could be ultra productive members of society with godlike strength and boundless energy, but alas, we're only human. And many of us on the lazier side of the spectrum require breaks throughout the day filled with mindless procrastination-fodder. If you're nodding your head in enthusiastic agreement right now, then you'll be absolutely stoked for what's about to come. Yeah, that's right. Memes. 

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.

Johnson & Johnson might be left out of that vaccine team to save the summer after all. Federal health officials paused distribution of the J&J vaccine today due to six reported rare blood clot cases in the U.S.  Most people are taking this news seriously, but of course in the world of memes, pretty much everything is fair game on the internet. Twitter immediately started personifying the vaccines in memes and pitting Pfizer & Moderna against J&J as if they were the cool mean girls in high school bullying the 'loser.' Scroll along for a collection of highlights from the spicy J&J Twitter meme frenzy.

Usher allegedly made it rain in the club with counterfeit money featuring the R&B star's own face. Usher's antics were initially exposed by Instagrammer @beel0ve in a story depicting the fake cash and a caption that read 'What would you ladies do if you danced all night for Usher & he threw this???' The exposé came just days after Usher tweeted images of himself posing with a transparent suitcase full of the fake 'usher bucks' in question. The singer is now getting absolutely dragged on Twitter for the transgression through memes, as he very well should be. Not cool, dude. Not cool. Scroll along for some spicy Twitter reactions and quips.

We've got just the batch of funny content to help take anyone's mind off those little annoyances.
