Absolutely. Used to have to assess patients making a meal. The amount of times they got flustered simply because they were being observed was huge.
Memes didn’t start with LOLcats, their roots reach back to 1976, when evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins coined the term “meme” to describe how ideas spread and evolve much like genes. Dawkins imagined jokes, catchphrases, and fashions as cultural “replicators,” hitching rides on human brains and passing from person to person. Little did he know his concept would become the bedrock for our entire internet obsession with viral jokes.
Fast-forward to the early web’s wild frontier in the 1990s. Usenet groups and primitive forums saw the first digital memes: chain emails warning of mutant vegetables, ASCII art smiley faces, and “all your base” declarations scrawled in pixelated type. Those early memes were more about novelty than polish, copy-and-paste jokes that spread from one BBS to the next, carried on the shoulders of enthusiastic netizens.
By the mid-2000s, broadband and blogs supercharged the meme machine. Enter the image macro: a single photo, often of an expressive animal, an awkward celebrity shot, or a classic artwork, crowned with big, bold text. Suddenly, anyone could caption that wide-eyed cat or distracted boyfriend photo to fit their own hilarious twist of life’s little absurdities.
Memes became the ultimate DIY art form, remixing familiar visuals into fresh commentary on everything from Monday morning woes to global politics. Then came social media, and the meme galaxy exploded. Tumblr dashboards, Reddit threads, and Twitter feeds became meme incubators, where formats spread fast and mutated faster.
The people who moved to New Jersey didn’t live there, and weren’t allowed there.
One user’s joke about spilling coffee could become a thousand spin-offs, each flavored by its creator’s flair, rainbow font here, sardonic punchline there, and suddenly you’ve got a dozen niche memes by lunchtime. Today’s memes wear many hats: Reaction GIFs convey a “that’s me” shrug, deep-fried images turn everyday photos into surreal candy-colored shock, and TikTok sound-clips spawn viral challenges in seconds.
They’re shorthand for emotions we can’t always put into words, astonishment, dread, triumph, and they remind us we’re not alone in our absurd little moments. Underlying it all is the same Dawkinsian drive: memes survive by being sticky, funny, and easy to share. They evolve through remix culture, with each iteration building on what came before.
LOL, this happened to me the other day. Alarm was incorporated into my dream and in my dream, I was like, that's not right. What is that? And my dream self was, "it's your alarm moron, get up!"
In the ever-scrolling sea of content, memes are the life rafts of shared humor, carrying us across the digital tide one punchline at a time. They are even a way to identify a person, since, let’s face it, different generations prefer different formats. If you are, say, Gen X or even older, no doubt the memes your younger relatives post or share are semi-incomprehensible.
These days, you’d be hard pressed to find a topic, niche or even demographic that doesn’t have a meme page about it. A single university might have several meme pages dedicated to student life, the university in general and even separate clubs and organizations. People like that feeling of being “in on the joke,” which memes directly provide.
looks like one of those eels that pokes its head up from the sand lmao https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSxpSPzjpad1ZMli2_ZWy78syfOfjIy1Z3JDg&s
When they say "you look like so and so" , and you don't know who that is, so you don't know whether it's a compliment or putdown.
"Who is Marty Feldman? Oh a famous actor from years ago? He must be very handsome then."

My dad had the dreaded combover in the 80's. He started going bald in his 20's unfortunately. We all hated that stupid style but couldn't convince him it was better to just be totally bald on top. As a kid I can recall when the wind blew and that long piece of hair would stand straight up, LOL. It was not a good look for him.
I am very tall and finding a car the I fit comfortably in takes months of searching. So once I find one, I become very attached to it. The last one I had made it to 20 years old!
I'm 5'5" and this I call bullsh!t. Now sod off while I go herd my amoebas into town.
D**n, ai is getting scary good, this is the best ai world map I've seen yet (but it's still obviously pretty bad; Madagascar was the first indication for me)
My manager does that. "Why is no one working?" Because the machine's broken, d*****s.
Not only personality i have rough hands too. Had a hard time buying a bracelet for me few days ago. Those things are so delicate, have such soft designs. And that I hadn't shaved my hands didn't help.
Got my savings on my hips, so I may survive even if groceries got more expensive
Do you sit on the makeup trying to pee at 3 am? No. No you don’t. Put the d**n seat down. That water is cold!
Is "reel" another word for "movie" now? They're invariably made up of more than one reel, what's going on?
A girl did it to my friend on the first date. She wanted him to buy a top she liked at some store. He refused and there was no second date
If you are afraid of that you certainly aren't ready for marriage. While I understand that sometimes people in marriages need to keep finances separate, it is also one of the signs that a relationship has fundamental problems. If you don't trust your spouse to handle money how can you trust then in anything?
I read these lists from bottom to top so they always get better as I go. I don't know if you can do that on mobile, though.
