Memes to Get Your Day Moving in the Right Direction

I tried to Google how many memes there were onlien and while I understandably did not find an answer, I did find some info on a University College London study that examined the origins of around a hundred and sixty million memes.

That’s pretty mind-blowing to me. And pretty inspiring, too. Clearly I’ve been working with some real rookie numbers on my end. I thought I looked at memes a lot, both for this job writing these articles and also just while I’m wasting time scrolling through Imgur in bed, but 160 million? I’ve got some serious catching up to do.

Let’s start with these ten and then see how we feel.

10. Cake and toleration

I don’t think I can afford to give out that many cakes.

Via: Someecards

9. Guess who?

Oh baby I hear the bills are callin’, tossed salad and scrambled eggs.

Via: Someecards

8. Over-reaction

Not to make it even more of a cesspool than it already is but let’s be realistic…

Via: Someecards

7. Following instructions

They followed the letter of the law while ignoring the spirit of it, and for that they are heroes.

Via: Someecards

6. His and hers

I don’t want to meet the person who would be comfortable with this.

Via: Someecards

5. Talk the talk

Great, now they see that I’ve seen it.

Via: Someecards

4. I will not talk in class

I will not talk in class.

Via: Someecards

3. Growing and showing

Nobody starts perfect, so a refusal to change is never a virtue.

Via: Someecards

2. Come on and SLAM

Let it be known that THIS IS MY SPACE!

Via: Someecards

1. On the clock

Look out world, ’cause I’ve got DEPRESSION!

Via: Someecards

10 down, 159,999,990 to go.

2020 vs 2021 Memes Are Now a Thing

A lot of people seemed to think that when the clock struck midnight on December 31st, 2020, we’d finally be rid of the cursed beast that was that year.

However, while the year is over, the ripples and repercussions of the horrible things that began in that year (and years before it) carry on. What a bummer, huh?

At least we’ve got memes about it.

15. Try, try again

If at first you don’t succeed…

14. Clowning around

“It’s the same, and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.”

13. Clicked without reading

Slow your roll, fast-talker.

12. I’ll be good

I made a deal with the devil and the devil said no.

11. Sober reflection

I don’t even understand what the term patriotic pride is supposed to mean.

10. Twins!

It’s not just the parents who are trapped, it’s all of us.

9. I sense something…

You gotta stay on your guard.

8. A welcome invasion

Come one, come all!

7. Dead serious

It’s remarkable what we can all learn to adjust to.

6. Year by year

Time is relative, read some Einstein.

5. Dry January

From namaste to “Nah, I’mma stay in bed.”

4. Bubble boi

We expected the future to look like this, but for different reasons.

3. Boom

Which movie is this? I need to see it.

2. Under pressure

That’s not an act I’d want to follow.

1. The passive approach

We’re happy to be of service.

Things can get better. They WILL get better. In the meantime, it’s memetime.

Funny Memes for People Who Live in Front of Their Screens

Are you in front of screens a lot? Sure. We all do this. You’re doing it right now. I’m doing it right now.

And when I’m done looking at this particular medium-sized screen, I’ll probably catch up on a little business on my small screen before finally retiring to a relaxing evening in front of my largest screen.

Some may find this a sad way to live, but I think it’s a rad way to live. It’s extreme. Ex-SCREEN, you might say, if your brain was melted from looking at screens all the time.

Games, movies, trash TV, it’s what our lives revolve around these days. And we’ve got some memes about it.

13. The magic touch

But now that I’ve gotten here, what more is there for me to do?

12. Think fast

That’s a rap, I guess.

11. That smarts

Stand down in the face of true genius.

10. The master at work

What wizardry is this?

9. The blame game

Stupid controller.

8. Rare sightings

You can’t summon him without something microwavable.

7. A class act

Sorry, I was just feeling a little sluggish.

6. Skyrim’s the limit

This is my calling, you wouldn’t understand.

5. Shift in perspective

How much longer?

4. Keep your distance

Even the younglings?

3. Brace yourself

What am I gonna do, write outside this lazy trope?

2. Wait in line

We live in a civilized society, after all.

1. Weird vs. weird

As long as absolutely everyone is gorgeous.

May the remainder of your screen time today be a blessed screen time.

What’s your favorite thing to look at on a screen?

Are These Things “Cheap” or Just “Illegal?” People Describe Their Cheapest Achievements.

Twitter user Rubba Band Grant caused a stir on Twitter when he mused out loud about the “cheapest” thing he’d ever done:

As a lot of people were eager to point out, that’s not so much “being cheap” as it is just “stealing tires.” Not that we’re snitches here. We’re gonna give Grant the benefit of the doubt and assume this was made up for entertainment purposes only. And we’ll extend that benefit toward all the Twitter replies that followed which had…dubious legality.

Here’s a few ways people apparently skirt the system to save some cash.

10. Water, water everywhere

This is a perfect example of how you can be clearly deceitful without technically lying.

9. Up close and personal

If you’ve got those kinds of photoshop skills *on a phone* then I’ve got mad respect.

8. Pole vaulting

Oh my God…I’m so tempted…

7. Inspired / expired

You’d think their barcode scanners would be smarter than that.

6. The switch

Well done.

5. What a tool

Walmart will pretty much take anything back, they don’t care.

4. Book ’em

Pretty hard to feel sympathy for either Amazon or the textbook industry.

3. Signed, sealed, delivered

You gotta wonder how often people do this.

2. Free means free!

Seems kind of sad and ridiculous that they wouldn’t just give their employees a free sandwich on their lunch break anyway.

1. Since delivert

Didn’t they have some way to like, check your order though?

We’re not saying we endorse any of these methods. We’re not saying we don’t, either. WE AIN’T SAYIN’ NOTHIN’, YA HEAR?

Do you have a method like this?

Tell us in the comments. We won’t judge.

These People Went to Great Lengths to Get the Perfect Shot

I’ve worked on film sets and I know probably better than most people that every cool image you see had a lot of work put into making it happen.

Often that work is not at all glamorous. Sometimes it’s downright weird, or even demeaning. Occasionally it’s dangerous. You very much enter a mindset of “hey, whatever gets the job done” and you just start grabbing anything you can that might be helpful.

If you’re working without budget (and without permission) things can get especially strange. And that’s never more evident than in the world of amatuer photogs trying to bolster their social media presence.

10. Look at these two

That’s a public street, yo.

9. Leaf me alone

I’m actually very curious to see how that shot turned out.

8. Sidewalk saunter

Nobody’s gonna be looking, right?

7. Swing and a miss

Or, hit, as the case may be.

6. Honest Abe

Not really the place, honey.

5. Irony alert

Everybody huddle together now, we don’t want to miss catching this.

4. Seize your opening

“Sir you’re really supposed to wear a shirt in here.”

3. A bridge too far

This is gonna be quite a story for the memorial service.

2. Winds of change

When nature just won’t do her part.

1. Through the roof

Meanwhile I’m getting tickets for rolling to a stop at the sign.

I understand the need to get the shot, but for the love of God, be careful, and be considerate.

What’s the greatest length you’ve gone to in order to snap a picture?

10 Big Fails in the Name of Getting the Perfect Shot

I’m not big into Instagram or having much of a presence or a “brand” on social media, it’s not something I work to cultivate or think about a whole lot. But for some people, it seems like it’s a way of life. You gotta get the shot, no matter what.

And since necessity is the mother of invention, people get pretty creative – and pretty risky – in their pursuit of grabbing that perfect snap. Love it or hate it, it’s a real part of our world, and the behind the scenes results can be hilarious.

Just check out some of the things you may need to be willing to do in order to truly up your social media game.

10. Get a little wet

It’s so predictable but it’s still so satisfying to watch.

9. Make a scene

I think while we’re still having to follow mask protocols and aisle directions, this should be straight up illegal.

8. Get upside down

You really gotta work as a team.

7. Work the sidewalk

Excuse me…ma’am? I need to get to the bus stop. Ma’am!

6. Stop traffic

This would be a super cool way to die.

5. Go to space

How did you even get that thing, bro?

4. Wiggle that booty

Who wants to see this and why?

3. Catch some waves

Again, predictable and satisfying.

2. Get a little rocky

IT JUST NEVER FAILS!

1. Go up in smoke

We get it, you vape.

Hey man, ya gotta shoot your shot.

How much do you care about your Instagram presence?

Tweets That Really Deserve to be Preserved

Did you know that the Library of Congress used to archive every tweet ever sent?

Everything inane, everything hilarious, everything historic, everything Presidential, everything that fit all four of those categories. It’s really pretty mind-boggling to think about.

In fact their minds might have gotten just a little bit too boggled, because they became more selective about what they decided to archive starting in 2017.

From that point on, you might be gettin’ into the great library, and ya might not. The thing is, there are something like 350,000 new Tweets sent out every single minute, and continuing to archive that compounding mass just became too big of a task.

However, I’d like to nominate these particular tweets for preservation. For us. For our future.

14. Trouble in the water

Dolphins are the jocks of the ocean.

13. Money talks

Ok but can you explain shorting to me?

12. Marching on

Colbert has always been ahead of his time.

11. Crashing

Life imitates art imitating life.

10. Meme queen

Ah the good old days.

9. Taking stock

Education subverted.

8. It’s magic

This seems like what their strategy has been.

 

7. Dog on the run

Is he in the witness protection program?

6. Life hack

Work smarter, not harder.

5. It’s in the bag

My hubris has been my undoing.

4. Quiet down

You know what you did.

3. Don’t question it

Our butts have something to say.

2. Spell it out

This is the future that liberals want.

1. All an act

Thank you for coming to my one woman show.

Just perfect. They need to be passed down to posterity. Get on it, Congress.

What Twitter account would you like preserved forever?

Tweets That Are Totally Perfect For You

Have you seen any good tweets around lately? I’ve been lookin’ and lookin’ and for the life of me I just can’t seem to track any down.

I guess maybe I could try scrolling down. See if there are any tweets below this text. But, yanno, I DOUBT it.

10. Deep fears

I experienced quicksand in real life for the first time recently and let me tell you, it is, at worst, trippy.

“Oh crap I was supposed to take a picture, here ya go.”

6. Let him speak!

The pressure is too much and I just sorta crumble.

5. Checkmate

Just give them some bread and let them be.

Hey, that sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

1. On the flip side

It’s all me, and it’s all a mess.

Oh wow, it turns out the Tweets were here all along! On this very page! And inside all of us! The internet truly is a magical place.

Memes To Make You LOL

The memes we’ve gathered up today are mostly made for a female demographic, but I say bust the molds, screw the preconceptions, these are funny no matter who you are.

Unless who you are is someone who is incapable of finding memes funny, I guess, in which case you should really go see a doctor immediately.

Otherwise, you should sit back and enjoy these memes!
