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.

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.
Not to mention forming a political party, getting elected to Government & forcing their atheistic policies onto everyone
A sign that the USA has become progressive is when the President forms a cabinet to fight bias against atheists.

Sir, do you have a few minutes to talk about your savior, yourself?
The word is apparently out, so the number of Johos knocking on my door is exactly the same as the number of atheists knocking on my door. untitled-6...cd124b.jpg
People in my building hang rosaries, pictures of Jesus, and other religious items on their door. Perhaps I should hang a picture of the atomic whirl or the spiral that represents the Fibonacci series and the golden ratio. Not that anyone would make the connection.
I've got a stained glass atom on my front door - I've always hoped it would ward off the jehovas witnesses, but they're unstoppable
Load More Replies...Wait, so my bejeweled atheist necklace and gemstone atheist earrings are...in poor taste? Damn!
Not to mention inventing tortures to force people to be atheist. Going to war as no-one is on their side.
We only tell you when you've tried to shove your imaginary friend down our throats.
Organized religion is the biggest scam ever perpetrated on humanity.
Your atheists sound like vegans in that they will tell you so within ten seconds and then try to force you around to their ideology. So glad they keep a low profile in my country - atheists, not vegans. They're everywhere.
And man, those vegan fighter pilot Christians!

Just replace atheist with Christian and that would be more reflective of actual conditions.
TBF, I know one or two atheists like that. They may be not much into construction and all, but you better not mention any particular deity in their presence.
So it would be like mentioning Allah to a maga Christian?
Load More Replies...Nope. This is just a line religious people like to push to somehow equate their unreasonable demands with those made by people who want a clear separation between church and state. I am an atheist; I believe in no god. That's it. There's no religion there, nothing to follow, no doctrine, no dogma. A simple rejection of any sort of deity. So... try again.

“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.
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 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.
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.
What about you? Which of these memes were most relatable to you and why? Are you a fan of this kind of humor? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
Shares meals with riff raff (prostitutes, tax collectors. Suggests “turning the other cheek” in disputes. Helps poor and sick people whether they are deserving or not. Is full of clever and interesting stories (parables). Is uninterested in the trappings of wealth and does not suck up to the rich and powerful. I could go on…
. . . and now Trump & Putin are doing their best to start World War III; you're F*kd
Hey Eddy, say you are a rich d-bag with absolutely no common sense without saying...
Even the dang Wi-Fi routers in Australia look like they could kill you!
I hope there's never a reason for police to search my Google history as it now includes cost of parts of a human body. 8000 gets you a skeleton, livers etc are Much more expensive.. :-)
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? Me: I had way too much fun writing these
4. This could have been an email. You are all now my eternal enemies and will be smited if it's the last thing I ever do.
I like ISO 8601: YYYY-MM-DD. That way your files names are always sorted and easily grouped into their correct order
Ahh, the younger generations will never know the greatness that was Word Perfect for DOS. It was, and still is, the greatest text editor.
And, to steal an old joke, all of America eats like they have free health care.
Keep your eye on the ball, your ear to the ground, and your nose to the grindstone. Now try to work like that.
I asked a flight attendant "how is your cat" and she was like "ummm... how did you know I have a cat?". I said, "the scratches on your arms, you either have a cat, or recently got into a fist fight with a weed-wacker, and I guessed that probably wasn't it".
Falls under the "Accurate but Useless" category of information. Kind of like the autopsy report will be.
And when they inevitably turn on you, then you get to electrocute them.
If you're having a baby with him, then you're bros with benefits.
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.
I'd eat the Holy Bajesus out dat... add some mustard? EAT LIKE A KING!
Unrelated but y'all haven't seen the full scope of human aggression until you witness me trying to close one of those F☆CKING ads in these listicles !!!!
The browser extension uBlock Origin might be some help there. BP, if your ads weren't so intrusive, I wouldn't be using an ad blocker. Think about it.

I use kindle fire10. I've never d/l an ad blocker and I've never seen an ad heere
I'm really tired of the rude references to Christianity. What is wrong with you??
