35 Relationship, Life, And Other Chucklesome Memes Shared In This Online Group With 513K Members
It goes without saying that memes are good for the soul. Sometimes you just want to stare at a phone screen until maybe 3 AM in the morning, reading about all of the relatable experiences other people have and then laughing at how you do that too.
The internet’s actually full of opportunities for this, with one of the more perfect examples being the r/absolutelynotme_irl subreddit that’s totally definitely “not your selfies of the soul."

Once I was at my sister's and her son came in with his finger to his lips and hid behind the door to scare his mum. Then my sister came in, mouthed if I knew where her kid was, obviously I shook my head, so she ran to hide behind the door to scare him. Same door. They both screamed. He was maybe about 18 at the time.
So, when are you both coming out? Him the closet and you from under the bed? 😅🤣
So, r/absolutelynotme_irl is a subreddit that’s all about memes. There is no strict category on the theme and topic, but it just so happens to be heavily focused on personal experience and relationships.
The group is home to 513,000 members who tune in daily for memes that the group describes as “absolutely not your selfies of the soul“.
It's nice until you're bloated from your period. Then you inevitably let out a fart that would make a cow jealous and embarrass yourself horribly.
I don't think she can even swim let alone to put down the phone long enough to notice anyone else
Same exact mentality I have. Like why invite someone somewhere and not have the common decency to pay
Load More Replies...At this point, you know very well what memes are and why they are so darn good. Benefits of memes range from cultural information exchange and a form of communication to collective coping and just a good way to improve your mood. Also, it's a great form of stress relief when it’s 3 AM and you’re curled up in bed unable to fall asleep.
apparently, there is a chick under the bed and some dude in a closet.... just waiting.... That is all.
As a former clueless idiot, (thank you to my now-wife, for having the self-confidence and patience to deal with me) these crack me up.
I remember a girl asked me once to go to the basement alone with her. I just met her and right away she asked. I didn't go was a chicken.
No, deciding what to cook for one vegetarian , one 10 year old and one carnosaurus is even worse.
Yep, that sounds like we have very similar households. Is your vegetarian a 12-year-old who's not really into veggies as well?
Load More Replies...I live alone and wake up thinking wtf will I eat today!? I am one of those annoying people who makes from scratch, but if you have no one to share it with you lose the urge to think about food. And no I’m not that much of a saddo, he died and when you are 50 plus it’s difficult getting back in the saddle 🤷♀️
Almost 50 and I have learned to enjoy cooking whatever I want and not having to worry if someone is allergic or doesn't like it. Everyone loves my cooking and it is amazing to share that skill with people who you care about but I still enjoy cooking for myself. You can always invite friends or strangers to dinner and impress them with a fantastic home cooked meal. I also have a 5 ingredient maximum rule *not including spices. Only cook with casties and gas *I do have one special stainless pan/pot
Load More Replies...Easier when you’re single. Hmm what can I do with yogurt and tortillas. F**k it. Just I eat both. No cooking!
Little bit of cinnamon and sugar some heat and you don't even need a spoon and you can get it all out of the container
Load More Replies...That used to be the best part of my day. And then I hit 40 and it all became 🍕🍔🍟🥗🍷
As an autistic I don't have this problem. I am perfectly happy having the exact same thing every single day :)
Cook up a giant batch of something and eat leftovers for a week until you are so sick of it you want to vomit. Try again next week with something else.
And first husband couldn't have onions, second was a vegetarian and third has diverticulitis. I gotta make two meals every time.
ChatGPT to the rescue! (Maybe. It could already be plotting how to execute our collective demise, for all we know.)
It is super cute. Tip: you can use "they" if you're unsure about someone's gender :)
Load More Replies...Memes, however, do come with a warning label—one that you might not have noticed, but here is your warning:
For starters, because memes are a form of communication—a very effective one considering the factor of virality, influence, what have you—it is also by proxy a potential vessel for misinformation.
you know he won't cheat on you if he rejects you because he is in a relationship with you, and being with you would be cheating on you
Load More Replies...Many, many years ago, I congratulated a guy that acted as the male lead in the town's production of South Pacific. I literally told him that his parents have good genes. Fast forward a year or so later when he's dating one of my cousins. They were even married for a time.
Me reading this at 3am next to my sleeping partner with only the meme light
Not only that but memes are often designed to capitalize on our vices, i.e. our easily apprehended attention, triggering us to keep on scrolling, liking and sharing them. And that only adds to why folks consider meme culture toxic.
You see, memes can often be disconnected from their original context. This in turn belittles the sense of distress in some more sensitive contexts.
...and that's because hands are required to work the can opener.
Load More Replies...Find yourself someone like Netflix: always there for you after a long day, supports your long hours on the couch with chips, and always gives recommendations for something better in your life.
And constantly checking to see if you're still there.
Load More Replies...This is seriously just what I want in my life. True Netflix and chill.
Adding to this is the fact that some of the more common tropes used in memes are dark humor and self-deprecation. While these can be positive, there is a concern that they might foster a social culture that does away with empathy and desensitizes serious issues to a point where genuine struggles are disregarded.
You can "break down" and "process" trauma? I've just been covering it with nacre like some kind of giant traumatised oyster
It's like the world is not a nightmare, you can't believe in, but something it suppose to be.
Load More Replies...I don't know about processing trauma, but when you get this emotional safety ( things like this more vast than two words, actually.) in one moment, you may be overtaken by a realization of smth, and the next moment you are completely healed of the trauma. It is the best sensation to experience, feels like freedom, lightness and absolute peace.
Never. And I doubt ever... Got issues with trust as is... Processing trauma with someone.. nah..
I think I speak for all males when I say this: we are really bad at hints.
That guy is way more alert than me, I'd likely be thinking "Huh, wonder if that hot woman ever got her drink at the bar...?" XD
Besides that, the nature of memes leads some to believe that they can’t really take heavy topics and problems seriously.
And sure, the internet is very quick in debunking misinformation, but once a meme goes viral and the damage is done, it’s hard to undo it as netizens jump on the waning popularity of the meme and a segment of its audience is already gone.
You know what's worse? Having someone telling you "I was hitting on you all those times, but you were too dumb to realize." Oops, my bad dude~
I hate that I was so naive in H.S. edit: well, first year of high school
I don't have a load of these, but I still relive the horror of my crush in high school asking me if I wanted to come to his place to hear the new Kate Bush album (it's what you did back then, nothing scary) and I turned him down, wtf?! Didn't know who the hey Kate was yet (learned a few years later, she's been my numero uno music gal ever since) and thought it sounded boring. Boring?! What the heck was wrong with me?
Now that does not happen to me, if I don't know it at first, I also don't know it later. Unless someone is telling me :D
In my mid 30's, I was at my moms with my current GF talking about how many friends I had in high school that were girls. My mom said 'They weren't your friends". I started to get upset and argue when she said "I met them all. They wanted to be more than friends". i literally went "Why the F*&K didn't you tell me that then?" To this day, I am horrible at reading social queues from women so I err on the side of caution. Probly why I'm single, but very happy, in my 50's
Uh oh give them some privacy... Edit: Either I speak poorer English that I hope or people don't get my jokes... Sad. Edit2: thanks guys for your upvotes!
I'd just like to put out there: no girl in the world says "panties". For some reason boys think it's more polite I guess. But yeah, say underwear. We do.
Rule of thumb: make sure you bring a pair into the bathroom. Or keep a few spare (clean) pairs hidden in the back of a cabinet, for a worst-case scenario.
Another perspective to consider is how corporations use memes to boost brand presence. Sure, memes are definitely a helpful tool for companies to use to improve their bottom line. However, it just means that a meme was originally created to push a particular agenda—one that focuses on company profits and nothing more. And that agenda can be anything at this point.
Anyone else notice how the folds on his belly look like the face of a frog?
Or worse, wonder if you could ever feel comfortable letting someone else see you like that.
Just in case your brain forgets to remember..... You did awesome today!!!!❤️
Load More Replies...whoa whoa whoa, now we have all new problems, whose brain are you and where the f**k did my malicious sado/masochist one go.
*Door opening sound in my mind* "Jerry, what did we talk about? This is my job, you get certain parts of the day."
And it doesn’t stop there. Memes have the potential for encouraging a bandwagon effect and diminishing individuality. Because everyone thinks memes are cool, this pushes folks to assume particular styles, behaviors and attitudes towards a given issue, overriding their own personality and normalizing toxic behaviors.
I've gotten wings for my broke as* homie too, because he's gotten wings for my broke as* too at some point. We be breaking into them wings together because that's what homies do.
Despite the abuse, I treated my ex bf like he was the only one in the world. I haven't been with anyone else since. No thanks. I'm in my early forties.
But, the point is to focus on the positives: it is a form of language for people that unites them through collective consciousness, evoking strong emotions that can serve as a form of support, humor, and political dissent. If done right, they can influence public opinion for the better, pushing away the tide of ignorance and letting societies prosper.

Is it just me having very weird thoughts on how to interpret that statement? Dad is going to get bf laid and later maybe even pregnant? 🤣
Turning up the intensity during the session, don't think it's meant literally.
Load More Replies...Wasn't afraid exactly more like a deep respect he knew different ways to make me disappear.
I'm so sorry, RH-8514 ... it feels weird to upvote your comment, but thousands of Pandas and I are pulling for you!! :)
When the professor is so passionate about the subject that his shirt is drenched in sweat by the end of class. (true story!)
Along with all the other students. (PE class)
Load More Replies...Kill your lawn and replace it with vegetation appropriate for your climate. If it relies upon irrigation and regular chemical application to exist, it is not appropriate.
Um, I’m glad this is your fantasy and all, but clearly no sane human will go near a stove w/o a shirt. 🤣
Surely baking cookies is the safest naked cooking activities. It's not like she's deep-frying a turkey.
Load More Replies...Somebody's got to do it and it ain't gonna be me, this is exactly what I ordered lol
I don't know about you, but whenever there's a joke about aliens probing, I think of Puscifer.
Load More Replies...I was that mom. No need to stop right this second, the chores aren't going to run away. Just as long as he eventuallly did them, fine.
Load More Replies...Not cause I'm cute... just don't want to start Anything l already know I'm not going to finish
Well, at least she's making progress, and he seems aware of his own faults.
You don't print out videos to keep? I have a scrapbook full of them.
Load More Replies...Just because I can bench 225 does not mean that I have 2 functioning legs
Is that... me? Well, l just don't know what got into me... when was this? You don't say! Beginner's luck, you know how that is.
They are judging the person who broke their friends heart
Load More Replies...Then use that freakin GPA and learn how to shoot a Panzerschreck
I had about 10 years when I simply couldn't gain weight. I did eat a lot of fatty food to keep from losing more. At peak, I was roughly 130lbs (60kg) and about 6' (1.9m). I was eating about 8000 calories per day. My metabolism was high enough that I'd walk barefoot through snow and wear a T-shirt when the windchill was in the single digits (5F, -15C).
Now, I start gaining weight if *someone else* looks at fatty food. I honestly am not sure which is worse.
Load More Replies...That won't make you healthy, though. Just skinny with fatty unhealthy organs.
64 and my husband tells me all the time how sexy he thinks l am... which makes him sexy.
This had four funny memes, then it turned down the corner of guns and teenage sex drive. 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I apologize on behalf of everyone. The fact that you think showin' affection and carin' for others is cringe-worthy is sad. I sincerely wish that you have a better life than the one you're currently "living".👍👍👍👍👍
Load More Replies...These are great! Now that the obvious is outta the way, could you please fix your ad problems? Between the ads loadin' before the content and the fact that for some reason your website interdicts whatever music app I'm listening to and starts playing an ad, it's......not right.
