Nowadays, memes are more than just funny images that go viral. They’ve become tools for expression, whether it’s a political sentiment, masked sadness, or, in this case, sarcastic humor. 

That’s why Instagram pages like 50 Nerds of Grey exist. While an early version on a different social media platform focused on poking fun at the famous romance novel, this one is all about memes with a tinge of sarcasm. 

Don’t worry; the snarkiness isn’t off-putting at all. If anything, this list may bring you the laughs you didn’t know you needed today.

The entire "alpha wolf" theory that this is based on has been proven false years ago. But the fact is anyone who has to tell you that they are "alpha" is objectively not.

Not only disproved but the scientist who made it famous has spent decades trying to get his book taken out of print. The theory was based on unrelated wolves being put together in a zoo - so it's like judging human societies based on how things work in a supermax prison.

If you have to advertise being an “alpha male”, then you’re as far from it as possible. Because things like that, as well as things like being a “nice guy” and a good person, are not for you to decide about yourself. They’re for others to decide about you. The most you can say is you’re trying to be a good person and a nice guy, and will keep trying to be better. So STFU with all the “alpha male” self-proclaiming horseshit.

    Also the 600$ given to the poor now boosts the economy. The one given to the rich gets hoarded and is thus out of the circulation (and probably out of the country too in some tax evasion scheme)

    Too many countries have tax systems that reverse the Robin Hood principle, probably because the rich know the people who set the taxes. But there are more of the poor - which suggests that many democracies are mainly hornswoggles to make sure the majority are kept uninformed and powerless. Am I being naïve / over-simplistic / silly?

    The artist has taken the trouble to get the diagonals right - different width white around the red, with the red stripes ending in the correct place (not symmetrical around each corner). I approve for all that it's imperfectly done - I challenge anyone to get closer using M&Ms.

    Yes and no. The diagonals aren't supposed be centered in the intersection of the horizontal and vertical bars, but they're still supposed to be aligned with each other through the center of the intersection. Still impressive for doing it with M&Ms. Also, unlike Mars, they know how to properly pluralize M&M. untitled-6...4848bd.jpg untitled-67c4c554848bd.jpg

    Sarcastic quips don’t always land right. It requires a bit of mental gymnastics to come off as acceptable and not be too offensive. Because of this, it forces a person to be creative with their statements. 

    A 2015 study proved this when the participants–a group of college students–listened to complaints to a company’s customer service line. Upon hearing sarcastic comments, the students quickly came up with creative solutions.

    According to the study’s authors, the brain must develop something creative to understand and convey sarcasm. As a result, it allows you to think clearly. 

    “To either create or understand sarcasm, the tone must overcome the contradiction between the literal and actual meanings of the sarcastic expressions,” the authors concluded.

    For me, 9 hours at the office, and a total of 2 hours commute time. And I'm one of those people who unfortunately needs 9 to 10 hours of sleep a night just to not feel like absolute c**p the next day. Add a half hour in the morning for my normal morning routine. Then I've got an hour to make and eat dinner once I get home. That leaves me 90 minutes -- except I'm usually too burned out to do anything truly productive, so I just try to unwind at night by watching an episode or two of TV, and playing a computer game, before it's time for bed again. (And that doesn't even take into account any possible shopping that I need to do, which could add another hour to my commute home.) Fun times, this adulting thing.

My stress is about 50% less than when I had to go to an office every day. Although I do now have a closet full of clothes I almost never wear. Hell, most days I don't even wear a bra!

    For many people, sarcasm is also a coping mechanism for life’s challenges. It masks underlying sadness and makes it seem humorous. You will likely see many examples on this list.

    A 2021 study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research showed that people used sarcastic humor to ward off symptoms of depression and anxiety during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    I've met Disguised Toast XD I used to go to BlizzCon and a lot of local Hearthstone events (Hearthstone is Blizzard's online card game.) He's a nice dude. His name comes from a particular card in Hearthstone, the SI:7 Agent - the card plays a sound clip when you use it, and the Agent says "Heh, this guy's toast." A lot of people who played/watched Hearthstone misheard that as "Disguised Toast", and Toast started using it as his username ingame XD

I can still make myself understood in fabric & haberdashery shops who are used to sewists stuck in time, though!

    In 2000 or 2001, my father tried very hard to kill my mother, my brother had to drag him away. Two policemen came to gently encourage father to behave himself bc Christmas was coming. No arrest, nothing, despite 3 witnesses (teenage children). Mother sued father for domestic abuse and either lost or the case was thrown out.

    For a third POV, check out this segment of Michael Moore's TV Nation: The Serial Killer Next Door. They move someone into a nice suburban neighborhood and have him do mildly suspicious things. You know, like use a backhoe to bury 55 gallon drums in the front yard. Obviously a sensitive subject matter that some may wish to avoid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwNf-3VHRhE

    I discovered a cannabis farm next door in a rented house. I called the police and they weren't interested. At the time I was working shifts. I went round one morning and asked if everything was OK because I saw two men on large motorcycles outside the house at 3am the previous day. They were gone by the end of the day. By the way, the house was directly in front of a prison.

    The world’s state of affairs may be saddening and frustrating for some. Therefore, many of them rely on sarcastic humor to frame these absurdities in a more lighthearted way. And for the most part, it benefits them.

It would've been funny if the comment had an /s at the end letting us in on the joke, but unfortunately, cräp like this is meant to be complimentary. When everyone hailed Caitlyn Jenner for being brave, they completely overlooked her social status and income that allowed her to go public. How about the trans person from some ultra-religious Red state who's all on their own? Now, that's bravery.

That says a lot for the compassion? of the people reading this meme. I am utterly at a loss. But then again I shouldn't be. People are more interested in celebrities and their private lives, rather than the plight of starving people. Not that we can do much about it. But still.

    9 months ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Assuming you're from the US, the highest treasury bond rate is 4.5%, and even there was one at 8%, you wouldn't get the interest in monthly installments, you would get at the end of the term when you cashed in the bond. So it wouldn't be 20 grand a month it would be whatever that works out to in 10 years or however long the term of the bond is. But the most important point to make here is that this only works out if the US government doesn't go bankrupt under Trump's administration. And I seriously believe that that is going to happen.

    All the movies that ever feature AI also demonstrate how AI takes over the world and kills all the humans. Yet, now AI is actually a daily part of life we’re all happily saying “Hey Alexa, access all details and plan the next 10 years of my life and spend all my money” and we are not even the tiniest bit suspicious or cautious. We humans are ridiculous.

    Jane Austin: I met a gentleman of meager value, with an estate providing no more than the income necessary to sustain a moderate living. Though perhaps he could earn an adequate fortune by some other means, he lacked the charisma to charm me or my sisters. Hemmingway: I met a man. It was raining and cold enough that I saw the steam of his final breath. Nobody mourned his passing. We are the same in that way, he and I. Brian Greene: If we imagine an average person, composed of atoms, which are in turn composed of sub-atomic particles. We ask ourselves, as we dig deeper into the fabric of the cosmos, what is the basis for the verbosity of the standard model. Is String Theory an answer, or another dead-end?

    And here I thought I took long hot showers, because after 21 years as a Firefighter, and being forcibly retired due to OTJI's, I have 7 anchors holding my left shoulder together and 3 holding my right shoulder together. My pain level is always at a 5, I refuse to take narcotic pain medication. And, do not even get me started on the cost of the health insurance offered with my pension.

    I love baths, but it's rare to find a bathtub that's comfortable enough for a 280-lb guy to fit in, let alone relax in. After moving into a new apartment that had a tub after living several years in a place that only had a shower stall, I decided to use the bath the first night -- it was so small for me, I literally was almost unable to get myself out of it. But give me a nice, big free-standing clawfoot tub and I'll happily soak in that thing.

    I used to always mess that up when I traveled overseas, usually when entering passport information, and thought it was weird at first. But logically, no one can deny that the DD/MM/YY format makes more sense. Also, although the 12 hour clock format with am and pm is the standard in many places, military time makes much more sense.

    I argue that AM/PM time is not standard in many countries, that 24 hour time is standard. You ask for proof? Look up train and bus schedules in other countries. Those afternoon and evening entries are 24 hour time. There may be an option for AM/PM, but the default is 24 hour. Most other countries understand AM/PM time, but 24 hour time is their default. I am pretty sure that once again most Americans can not handle what the rest of the planet thinks is normal.

    The system we have in the US comes from the UK, when back in olden days they would write it out as say March the First, in the year Two-Thousand and Twenty-Five. So when people did numerical shorthand, they did 3/1/2025, and that has stuck around. But it is not the US Alone, the Philippines, Micronesia, Marshall Islands and Palau all use it

    Sorry, it's based on the way we say it. IN the Usa, today is "March second, twenty-twentyfive." So we write it the same way. 03/02/25. Do other countries say "Two March, twenty-twentyfive?"

    It has to do with how Americans say things. Much of the western world says, “It’s the 6th of March, 2025,” while Americans say, “It’s March (the) 6th, 2025.” I get that it’s a bit confusing but once you know how to translate, it’s fine.

    What's with all the Fourth of July stupidity? It's like the only date in the US that's said that way, and it's more like the name of the day instead of numbers. I was recently in the hospital, and they always ask your birthdate. I said it with the full name of the month, so my sister asked why I didn't just use all numbers. The nurse interuppte to say that he prefers someone to use the name of the month, because they get patients from different countries. There's no confusion with the name instead of the number.

    The beauty of the German language is, that we can keep adding nouns and the word still makes sense. Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänsmütze.... Donau = Danube (river), dampf = steam, schiffahrt = shipping, gesellschaft = company, kapitän = captain, mütze = cap. The cap of a captain who commands a ship of the Danube shipping company.

    Yes - German spelling is very logical. My daughter is 7 and learning German spelling here in Germany. It's so much easier than English! The grammar is complex, but very rule-abiding (as you'd expect...)

    You've got the idea! Leiter is ladder, but it's Leistung here. Hilfeleistung - something/someone who provides assistance. The actual translation here (without further research and not being an expert in fire fighting!), i.e. not word-for-word, would be something like "back-up water tender". But the fabulous thing is that no English-speaking kid would know what a water tender was, but every German-speaking kid would know what a Löschgruppenfahrzeug was because of the way the word is put together (I checked with my 3YO boy as a test subject).

    As a native germas speaker I would translate it to : "Assistance dowse-group vehicle" And yes, the fire brigade uses these words. And yes, that's what it says in the children's books. And the children like it. It's logical. This is the vehicle that assists the fire engines that put out the fire - because you also learn in these books that the fire brigade does a lot more.

    People need to understand bad emotions are actually good and there's no reason to avoid them. I once told a therapist that anger is actually a normal and good reaction to being treated unfairly and she didn't believe me. In Polish, the word for angry is the same as the one for evil, so people really don't get that.

    You don't pick up an option in advance, you decide with your partner what suits you both. It may be marriage or not. And not every marriage ends up in divorce. All options may be good!

    It says on the package, "This is a cosmetic product, not edible". And it is called "Plant Based Soap with Strawberry Yogurt Fragrance". I can see why an English speaker would be confused. Herbissimo is a Brazilian cosmetics brand, and they make a lot of shampoos and soaps which are plant based. I don't know why they partnered with Mentos, or why I'd want to smell like yogurt.
