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.

I'm an obsolete version that's no longer supported on any system.

That's what it's like with a lot of traits. "I'm super successful." Doubt it. "I'm a good person." Not very likely. "I'm highly intelligent." Yeah, no.

Never forget that, in software development, alpha is the more-unstable version before beta
I know someone like this. He's got issues he refuses to look into and dares to call himself an alpha male despite being in his 30s and stuck in middle school dropout mode.
The pack "leader" does so from the back so that they can make sure the pack is safe and protected. You know like a good leader would do.
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.
Too many American voters just proved this...
Load More Replies...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)
Take all the money away from a rich person. THEN give him $600. Watch him try to find his a*s with both hands. Give $600 to someone with NO money, and they will use it to the best of their ability. Survival makes people think.
Give $600 to poor person & within a week a rich person will have it.
It's like us poors don't understand end game capitalism. But at least we get to work until we can't.
We understand it, there's just nothing we can do about it.

Load More Replies...Too many countries have tax systems that reverse the Robin Hood principle, probably because the rich know the people who set the taxes.

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.
Load More Replies...As an Anglophilic American, I bloody love it! 😁
Load More Replies...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
We in the UK might have idiots as PM's and First Ministers, but at least we haven't, as yet, elected a looney-toon with the mental capacity of a dead gnat to lead us.
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.
I truly love this meme. I happen to hate it when people mock others who are specialists in their field and love what they do.
This is an old witticism from 2010 or earlier. Philomena Cunk is merley repeating it.

Load More Replies...Most people also have a commute that's 30-60 minutes, if not longer, so that needs to be added onto work. Work: 10 hours.
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.

And it's only true if you work from home, don't have a family, and have staff to do all your chores.
Beyond the math error, no one every takes into consideration the time needed to get ready for work or the commute. Those can really cut into your "off" time.
I have a 30 second commute. :) If you are able to work from home I can't recommend it highly enough! The only good thing to come out of Covid. 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
Used to watch him back then too...hs classic is unbearable now.... " 0 mana, 100/100 battlecry: win game" beating up a snow yeti

I really, really dislike seeing feet! Especially someone's toes hanging out where I have to see them. UGH!
UK still uses feet wherever possible, especially when you have to walk somewhere. When I was in school in the 60s and early 70's, we were taught in metric measurements and imperial.
I have never managed to convert myself to metrics. Born in UK 1948. If someone gives me an amount/weight/distance in metrics, my brain say "What? Que? Huh?" and I can't visualise it at all. 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.

The odor in a building I lived in years ago grew stronger everyday. The landlords were on an extended holiday, so we called the police. It took them a couple of days to swing by and find one of the tenants had died.
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.
How true. Police look at the serial killer when they catch him, say to themselves, How smart he looks, can't be a killer, let him go, and there is a dozen more episodes.
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.
According to psychologist Dr. Mark Travers, snarky commentary on societal norms may be perceived as “insightful” and “attractive” to people who appreciate thought-provoking conversations.

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.

I learned quite early in my career that a good idea doesn't need a meeting but a bad one often does.
Same goes for managers; a good one rarely schedule meetings, while a bad one schedules so many meetings about the work we need to do that we have no time left over to do the work. Also, the good manager brings cookies. The bad manger does not. Trust me. I know managers.
Load More Replies...No fun at all. I got dragged into budget meetings when I was doing maintenance, all the responsibility of a manager with basic wage. Upside was that I learnt a bit about budgeting and accounting and it came in handy in other jobs.
I don't hate meetings. I hate meetings that happen outside my work schedule. I work at a place that only has them to tell us stuff that is not important about people who are not in my office. I miss a daily or even twice weekly status meeting to at least say "This is how far I got but I am waiting on idiot in other department"

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've got a sit down bath, its a bit more effort to step into, but it's like sitting in an armchair. It's deep enough that the water comes up to my shoulders. There are lots of sizes, shapes and depths. I've never been sorry we got it

Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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
The Philippines past history was heavily influenced by America, Palau uses the American dollar as it's currency, Marshall Islands uses the American dollar as it's currency and Micronesia is an independent nation in Free Association with the United States.
Load More Replies...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.

Load More Replies...For sorting, the best option is year, month, day. 2025-03-01 will sort properly with other dates.
My birthday is 4/20. Don't be harshing me with these international quibbles.
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.
I've never experienced a single day that I'd rate 10/10, birthday or not.
Load More Replies...Respect rarely follows this opener. We all know it, but feel compelled to maintain some level of insincere social decorum.
The phrase has nothing to do with earned respect, it always means that the next thing said will be extremely disrespectful
When I’m feeling snarky I say “with all due respect”, pause, then add “…and not a skerrick more.”
There's probably a name for phrases that mean the exact opposite....but I am old and forgetful......
"With all due respect" is generally an introductory clause for a disrespectful statement.

Adobe is just as bad. And still charges a monthly fee. PDF is such a s****y format.
You can NOT compare Adobe w MS. Spendy and annoying subscription? yup but its only $600 a year for stuff that costs $1000 individually and mostly works. MS is low rent trash that makes me want to get a time machine and [insert bannable violence] to Bill Gates (for that and newer reasons).

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.
I played around with that back in school and came up with "Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänskajütenbarhockerbaumwollfüllungsflohbekämpfungsmittelindustrie".

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).

I've been told many times I hate German only bc of the war and that it's actually a nice, logical language, prettier than Dutch. Hmm, is that so?
German native here, Dutch sounds like a mix between German and English to me. I do think German is mostly logical, but the articles are not... forget about getting them right, no non-native learner has ever succeeded! (Fork is feminine, knife neutral, spoon masculine... Don't ask me why.)

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.
Hay is for horses, grass is free, buy a farm, you'll get all three
My grandad would ask how you were and 'I'm good' wouldn't be the right answer. He would then ask 'but are you well?' Also, he hated that I, as a student teacher, would say 'yeah' or 'yep' instead of yes. Definitely didn't change me.
I did not know that saying 'Hay is for horses' was to stop people from saying 'Hey'. I thought it was a snappy comeback, and still use it. Also in my repertoire: Guess what? Chicken butt. See you later Alligator Nighty-night Sleep tight

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.
You expect an American to a) read the packaging and b) deduce that "produto cosmetico" means "cosmetic product"? Bless your heart.

But it doesn't hurt to get used to it ahead of the next war. Besides, that's a whole week's cheese ration.

Onion and cheese are natural best buds, but I think there's better ways to do that... Like thinner slices of onion, some dijon and pepper, and maybe a bit of mayo as well.
