You might think that funny memes are the biggest enemies of productivity and are just generally useless. But, during the pandemic, it was one of the ways people coped with their negative emotions. As a result of viewing memes, we get a mood boost, which equips us to better deal with problems in our real life.
So, why don’t you give yourself a few minutes to scroll through some random memes? We’ve got just the selection for that – a variety from The Best of Tumblr. Facebook page. Now, be careful: the memes actually have very little to do with Tumblr itself. But does that mean they’re less funny? Not a chance! So scroll down, and let us know which ones you like the most by, as YouTubers say, smashing that upvote button.

Seems like there had to be a s**t ton of foundational issues that lead up to a child being so entitled and having such a lack of emotional regulation that he acts out so destructively. If this was my child’s behavior, I’d be failing him as a parent & clearly had not been getting him the right help.
Well if he wants to selfsabotage let him selfsabotage... this is a valuable oppotunity to teach him a valuable lessen of the consequences of breaking stuff, and dealing with the sh!t you generate yourself. You had money, you chose to "spend" it on a tantrum/making a statement, and now you don't have money, and as a result, you can't get what you want. Simple as that, when you demonstrate that you can't handle certain things, you shouldn't be given more of it in the future, before you can demonstrate that you have learned your lesson. You did something stupid, now you must live with the fallout of that. Giving in to someone when the throw af fit, only teaches them that acting up is the way to get what they want... and the result is that you will see more of that kind of behavior in the future. You made your bed, now go lie in it.
I really don't know what I would actually do, but right now I would say since you don't like the amount you got you and this is how you treat your allowance, you are not getting anymore until you learn respect for the allowance you do get.
You are more tolerant, because this would be in my Top 5 and yes, I will take my kitties over crotch goblins any day.

Tape the bills together, take it to the bank & ask for new bills. The old ones get destroyed after the serial numbers are checked. Make him watch while you do it, then buy yourself something with the money. Tell him, you could have had this money, but you no longer deserve it.
We did this with a huge amount of lego bricks we still had. A friend of my mother's has a son with severe ADHD, so we decided to gift the family all our old legos. The mom called us a day later in tears and told us that for the first time in years her son was truly relaxed and focused on one thing. He covered the entire floor of his room in legos, but it was worth it
I like this. Lego blocks are brilliant for everyone of all ages. So glad the boy benefited.
Load More Replies...As a society we’ve become less formal about a lot of things, language, dress, dining etiquette. Personally, I like knowing I put the effort in to look good, to have a straight collar, sharp creases, shaved face, and shined shoes. We iron our clothes. It’s quick and easy, It takes 5-10 minutes of my day if I’m doing a shirt and pants individually, maybe 30 minutes after laundry to do all our clothes for the week. Time I honestly would probably otherwise be wasting on my phone or something. I wear a lot of collared shirts for work as does my son who is 10 and often wears Hawaiian or short sleeve button down shirts over an t-shirt. Even my wife irons her polos and slacks. Some fabrics don’t need ironing but unfortunately many are synthetic. We as a family try not to contribute to the microplastic problems buying natural and biodegradable fibers like silk, cotton, linen, wool, or rayon/viscose clothing or rather than polyester and nylon.
Load More Replies...I broke out the ol' iron for my cousin's wedding 2 months ago. Haven't touched it since!
Load More Replies...I never understood ironing things like underwear or t shirts. Formal clothes sure, you want them to look sharp. But who cares about casual stuff?
In prison, our casual clothes were grey shorts, tshirts, and sweats. The ladies who thought they were the coolest people ever would iron creases into their shorts and sweat pants. It looked so silly!
Load More Replies...Yeah.. These days the low quality polyester clothes don't need to be ironed. I wish I had money for those lovely cotton shirts that needs to be ironed.
Even some cotton ones you can get away with it (very carefully dried on a hanger). The ones I have to accept I need to iron are the cotton/linen blends. They don't get worn very much.

It's hard to imagine memes ever going out of fashion. The ways we share them, however, are slowly changing. When I was in my first years of university, we likely wouldn't go a week without sending each other the "This Is Fine" dog GIF. While the meme itself is still very much alive and well (and just celebrated its 10th anniversary last year!), I last saw it in GIF format quite a long time ago.
So, what happened? Did GIFs go out of fashion? According to the GIF search engine GIPHY, sort of. At the end of 2022, when the company was basically begging Meta to buy it, they declared that the reason that no one else would buy it was there was less and less interest from users. "They have fallen out of fashion as a content form, with younger users in particular describing gifs as 'for boomers' and 'cringe,'" GIPHY wrote in their filing for the Competition and Markets Authority.
Honestly, all the lads tell me it's a sex thing. Apparently they like dominating someone that humiliates them in public. I tried to be open minded, but I just cannot wrap my head around men sometimes.
You're to person to your children that you needed when you were a kid..... I heard....
I did that in my daughter's room, glow in the dark stars. It was great until, one by one, the double sided tape dried up & gave way and it randomly rained stars.
My husband recreated the nights sky at the time of our sons birth on his bedroom ceiling with tiny glow in the dark stars.
I know! My dad did for us. They glowed in the dark and it was so cool to see the Big Dipper on the ceiling at night!

When I was 8 I bought a pack of tiny star stickers that looked like stars actually do in the night sky from the bookfair at my school. There were over 800 stickers as well as a map of the stars and constellations. They spent a week on stepladders cricking their necks looking up to make it perfect. When I was in bed at night it was like being outside. One of my fonder childhoods and memories, too bad my family completely fell apart 5 years later 💔 😢
Is Midsomer Murders has taught me anything, you don't want to know what's behind those rocks.
And you need to use a bomb there, anybody else just hear that little chime from Zelda.
The whole filing sounds more like a roast than a serious legal document. "GIPHY has no proven revenue stream (of any significance)," is another great line. Interestingly, they don't provide any actual statistics, and they cite articles by Vice and Slate as evidence of the decline in popularity of GIFs, as well as a few posts from Twitter (X).
Ryan Broderick, an American internet culture writer, told The Guardian: "Gifs feel extremely dated. They were never easy to make and didn't work particularly well on mobile. So now they are basically the cringe reaction image your millennial boss uses in Slack. Rather than what they used to be, which was a decentralised image type for communicating on blogs and message boards."

Complete nonsense. You arrange your life according to your means, not the reverse. This entitled overconsumption-is-my-right nonsense is why people get into debt over there. If you don't have a quarter million saved, you cannot afford a child and are therefore morally bound to abort every pregnancy. If you don't, then your poverty is your own fault.
Sorry, but I still don't find poverty and struggling funny. Perhaps the folks who chose these "funny memes" has a different take on humor than I do.
For some of us we have to try to find the humor in our f****d up lives. It's a either laugh or cry situation, so I generally have a very dark sense of humor because it's all I can do to cope some days.
Load More Replies...I got thrown out of class sooooooo many times for this type of nonsense. My favourite one was Humanities when they started the human development unit. Partition open, three whole classes together, "YOU ARE UNIQUE" on the blackboard. I was early, ran to the board and wrote JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. Students trickled in, but as soon as my own teacher walked in, he took one look at the board and look straight at me with this "not cool, kid" expression, then nodded to the door. I came back at the end of the hour and had to take home a letter for my mother to sign.
People who may not be considered sexiest people alive or otherwise unable to get by on being objective for their looks spend their years developing interesting personalities and outstanding character. Apparently.
"They said beauty is only skin deep. As if men ever fell for an attractive pair of kidneys" (curtesy of T. Pratchett). Lucky those whose disinterest in extensive social interaction coincides with other people's disinclination to lure them out.
Load More Replies...There are many pretty women whose personalities are as ugly as those ugly guys look.
"Beauty fades with time, but a beautiful soul only gets more beautiful" - read that somewhere and it stuck with me.
Not everyone is attracted to beauty as the primary thing they look for in a partner. My motivators are kindness and intelligence. Beauty in addition to those is a bonus. Beauty without those things is ugly to me. I married beauty that I thought was kind. Turned out to just be a pretty monster.
Easy, treat me with respect, show me I'm worth effort and take initiative, be by my side and you could look like the elephant man for all I care. You'll be the most beautiful man in the world to me.
Most attractive people don't have great personalities since they rely too much on their looks for everything.
or...y'know...it's not about apperances? it's the quality of character of the person.
Make me laugh and you own my heart. Oh, and flowers. I love flowers. Chocolate helps.
Interestingly, at the beginning of the pandemic, GIPHY's popularity actually shot up 33% in one month. But what that probably meant was that your mom, dad, and grandma started communicating through messages and online. Upon discovering GIFs, they were probably the culprits of that popularity rise. That's why even some millennials now think of GIFs as something suitable for 'boomers' only.
I agree! It’s so fun going grocery shopping with your friends. But then you both come home with double a bill and a bunch of stuff you never needed in the first place.
We do charity (Thrift) shop-browsing, and meet up for daily walks bc we're getting on (age-wise) now, and need to work off the excess pounds we put on over Covid... 😭, so no going out for meals.

this is literally my Saturdays. Same best friend for 50 years. We used to do more active things but for a number of years now our Saturday routine is errands (Costco, Walmart whatever is needed), a loop through our garage sale route (summer time) and lunch at a casual place. In nice weather we sometimes go to an ocean side park and watch people / walk on the boardwalk.

To be fair, GIFS themselves are as old as Millennials. The inventor of the GIF is Stephen Earl Wilhite, a computer scientist at the then-huge online service CompuServe in 1987. In 2014, the GIF even had its own exhibition in the Museum of the Moving Image in New York. In the '90s and '00s, people used GIFs to breathe more life into their personal websites and social media pages.

Load More Replies...I'm not supporting the moon landing hoax theory, but people need to stop getting CGI and SFX mixed up. The point people make is 2001: A Space Odyssey, which looked amazing for its time, and was able to portray space, low gravity and landing sequences on a set, and therefore, the moon landing, which came a year after this movie, would have been possible to fake. The first use of CGI in a movie wasn't until '78, before that, it was SFX.

If they wanted to fake the Moon landing, it would have been possible in a Disney studio, using the sodium vapour process. But, they didn't.

I couldn't even make it through the first one. It was so bad. It's like listening to Star Trek technobabble, but it's about contemporary cars and I know how those work and they don't work at all like they are depicted. Example: Turbo buttons are not a real thing. You install N2O, you only want it when you're running flatout. The valve should only open when the throttle is wide open too. And if you are burning nitro in a consumer engine, you just burned your valves unless you built that engine from the ground up to handle the extra heat. You can buy one of those kits online but you're only going to use it once and your engine will be toast the next day.
The whole franchise is a street racer's corn. And like corn, it's not about being realistic. It's all about fantasy and for after market, pretty, flashy car decorating hobbyists to jerk off to. I saw this movie in the theatres. What was going on outside the theatres made me laugh and cringe at the same time. All the street racers drove around in their lit up, chromed out Supras, Mustangs and even one Viper, as if the movie was a casting audition, then after the movie went out to street race thinking they are Vin Diesel.

Tumblr was actually one of the platforms responsible for the rise of the GIF. Pages like What Should We Call Me were the home of the reaction GIF. People started saving them in separate folders to have reactions to any possible situation. A GIF artist, Matt Semke, told The Atlantic that the year 2007 and Tumblr were the place to be. "This was an art form that was native to the internet. Videos existed in other places; paintings, photos existed in other places. GIFs just didn't exist anywhere until the internet."

When does a thing become uncool on the Internet? When your mom and dad start liking and doing it, of course. Assistant professor of communication at Syracuse University and the author of books about Internet culture, Whitney Phillips, told Vice that GIFs were once subcultural and niche. "Democratisation creates a sense of disgust with people who consider themselves insiders. That's been central to the process of cultural production online for decades at this point," she explained.
One thing I noticed with the local supermarket, they'd introduce a new homebrand product and it'd be a decent price and amazing quality. I'd get hooked on buying it and stop buying the name brand product. I assume a lot of people did the same. Then after a few months of that the name brand product vanishes from shelves, justified because "no one is buying it". After which the quality of the home brand version plummets while the price increases.
I noticed that after one or two months after I switched to store brand products, it goes steadily up in price until what I'm saving not buying the name brand barely tips the scale.

I used InstaCart for groceries recently. When I opened up the packages of meat to wrap up for freezing, everything was spoiled. Multi pack Chicken, 4 Rib Eye Steaks, a Cross Rib Roast and a Multi pack of pork chops. We're talking over $175.00 worth of meat. When I contacted the Store they told me to bring them back to the store. I informed them I'd disposed if them due to the overwhelming smell. Initially I placed them in a reusable shopping bag and buried it in the snow bank at my front door. We had cats and dogs trying to get into it. So I threw them out. But I'd taken multiple photos of the spoiled meat. They still wanted me to bring them back. They couldn't seem to understand why I'd disposed if them. Oh, one more thing, initially they'd told me to contact InstaCart. I informed them InstaCart didn't produce the meat, they did. The responsibility was theirs, not InstaCart. I never received a refund!

Some people think that people use GIFs in online conversations when they don't really know what to say. They call responding with a GIF “the absence of saying something.” Experts theorize that this might be the reason why the younger generations don't relate to the format.

This is the main complaint people who don't like using GIFs have. They're just not personal enough, and they're too lazy.

I am not always on my phone because I’m a stereotypical gen Z. I am always on my phone to avoid eye contact with random people.
I can't help myself, I ALWAYS meet their eyes and say "Hello"! *****Storytime******* In 1989 I was in San Francisco overnight. Having never been before I took the opportunity decided to walk down to the pier. I've never seen so many people living on the streets & alleyways. As I'm strolling back to my hotel, saying "Hello" to EVERY SINGLE person I see! A "Restaurant Barker" observed me, and as I was about to pass by he stopped me and said, "You're not from around here, are you?". I said, "No, I'm from Alaska." He responded, "That explains it (chuckle) I should warn you, most of the homeless think you're saying you're making fun of them. For your safety you should refrain from acknowledging them, you could get hurt!". I responded, " Thank you, I truly appreciate the information. I plan to continue saying Hello! Everyone deserves to be acknowledged as a human being!" No one accosted me!
Always, goddammit! It's hardwired into the Brit's genes (& most likely passed on by Brit immigrants to the USA back in the day).
I try to smile at everybody I pass but I don't live in a huge city. It's pretty much Trader Joe's and the gas station for me. Imagine how different big cities would be if everybody was just smiling at every one of the 1,765,932 people they pass on the street everyday. Wow. Transformational.
I used to show my teeth when I smiled, even though I felt sefl-conscious about it because my upper lip curled up in a weird way when I did. When I was in my mid-teens I mentioned it to an adult I respected, and he readily agreed that yes, my lip did indeed curl up and it was indeed weird. I've done the tight-lipped smile ever since.

Aaand that's the earworm of the day taken care of 😄

I do them on my phone so the pieces don't end up under the sofa.
My first dog chewed a piece from a puzzle my mother was doing. She has never forgiven him. I mean it was only slightly chewed, after drying it off you'd hardly have noticed
Load More Replies...When Amazon first had their appstore out, they offered a BUNCH of Apps for absolutely free to get people to start using it. I got a puzzle app that can do 400 piece (I think, I forget the exact amount) puzzles and I can download any of the other puzzle pictures they offer, all for free and I love it.
i was staying with my best friend help her with her little one after she broke up with her partner i had been to her house lots of times but this was the first time had stayed over night and first time i pooped in her toilet i blocked the bloody thing
Story time: so a friend of a friend hooked up with a guy after a night out, he'd left for work in the morning, left a nice note saying food in the fridge etc let yourself out here's keys to lock door pop them back through the letterbox when you leave, please leave your number, would love to meet again. She freshens up, uses toilet, it won't flush, nightmare she doesn't want to leave a huge, pungent, morning after drinking poop in toilet. She liked this guy too. Comes up with a plan, gets some plastic bags gets the offending material from the toilet, ties it all up, cleans toilet, gets herself clean and ready to leave, leaves her number. She then grabs her stuff, takes keys locks door from outside and puts keys back through letterbox only to immediately realise she'd left a bag full of poop and tissue on his kitchen floor 😨 Needless to say she did not hear from him again 🤣
That's a normal human need. I just don't get this. What's so bad about it, you prefer risk of shıtting in pants.
What i cant figure out is what are these people eating that their poo is so dense it blocks a toilet?
Load More Replies...One of my dogs was thoroughly housebroken, but he pooped in just about every house we took him to the first time he went there. I think it was just his way of saying he had every right to be there.
this question would probably have worked if proper grammar was used. just say'n
I've said it before and I'll sy it again - always having a calculator is not (and will never be) a valid excuse for not knowing basic math.
Amen. I hate the blank look you get from people (usually under a certain age) at the register when you hand them $57.25 on a $37.25 bill. I've literally had some of them hand me back the $7.25 then get $12.75 out of the till and hand it to me. *sigh*
Load More Replies...Yes, what utter morons for being completely unable to accurately forsee the future. We definitely have no need for ever developing the skill of thinking. Let's just let the internet do it all for us. Nothing can go wrong.
Yeah. Try googling something without knowing anything.
Load More Replies...Either way it’s best to know your times tables and other basic math as it could save time in certain situations and your calculator may not always be reliable
Just what some teacher will way about teleportation before it's pocket sized 🙃
Load More Replies...Had an Econ professor use this excuse for not allowing calculators during exams. I recall saying that when the time comes we won't have access to calculators is the time we're trying to recoup from the apocalypse, and economics won't be nearly as vital as learning how to make soap, filtrate water, and grow food.
This is the greatest photo ever taken. Nothing will compare to this.
Yeah, but that made sense then, so this is a pointless meme, tbh. Are kids today allowed to keep their phones on them when they're having tests/exams??? Lucky sods if so, lol.
In high school, we’re allowed to bring and use our calculators (Texas Instruments graphing calculators usually) when we take tests. Even when we don’t have to use them for graphing, we’re allowed to do simple calculations on them. I still think memorizing the times tables and being able to do quick mental math is pretty useful, though. I also think that some middle schools allow this in higher math classes.
Load More Replies...If you don't continually do maths, you lose the ability. I used to be good, but now it takes me a lot longer to work things out
How little anyone could foresee the future. We all have magic mirrors, almost genies, with us all the time. Our phones can tell us anything they can summon almost anything, if we have the funds, we are so darn lucky. I never in my wildest dreams as a child thought of anything like this. Now that I am older or let's face it old, I think how lucky we are to live when we're living, ,despite all the problems in the world, things have probably never been better in so many ways.
My son did this. He kitted out the box with cushions and toys. Finished it off with a blanket and fell asleep 😆
Back in the early 2000s someone invented a device called the TV be Gone. It cycled through all the codes that could turn TVs off for turning off TVs in public spaces.
It also worked for neighbours who watched TV way too loudly in the night. Fun was had.
Load More Replies...Remember when remote control signals were that strong enough? The one for my TV will not work unless you're angling it at the right position, in the right stance and speaking to it softly.
Wave the wand in the right sigil and chant the proper incantation and you will see into other realms
Load More Replies...We need this in restaurants. I came here to eat and chat with friends not get the stats on the Kentucky Derby. Sheesh it's like they're willing to ruin the experience of going just so we shut up and eat a tiny bit faster.
And the blaring music, rude people on speaker phone or watching videos with no headphones. I used to love going out to eat but now I have to avoid most places because of all of this. I miss the days of a nice quiet restaurant with no tvs, no loud music,no phones where you could actually hear the person you're sitting with and talk.
Load More Replies...When I was in highschool this kid's dad had been to Japan or somewhere like that and brought him back a watch with a built-in TV remote. He spent the entire class messing with the TV the teacher had brought in so we could watch a video and it was hilarious seeing just how bewildered the poor teacher got. Kid had this evil little grin and his friends were all trying not to crack up laughing.
Back when remote garage door openers were a new thing, it was common for neighbors to open and close more than just their own garage with their remote!
Our individual bedrooms had cable boxes years back and I'd smuggle my remote into the living room and change the channel or mute it every time my roommate would reach down to pick up his beer. He was convinced it was the dude next door doing it. He developed such a hatred for the guy next door it was unreal! I didn't fess up until the day I moved out. 😂😂
Oooh! I want one of those for stereos - one of my neighbours still has one and blasts his music all hours of the night (usually w/e & occasionally in the week).
I had to get a new remote for my Sony Blu-ray. I was shocked when they all were the same
I repalced my Panasonic DVD with a Panasonic Blu-ray. The old remote worked just fine.

if you think about it then it means you both either expect to get cheated on or cheat on your partner so you need to some kind of financial incentive to not do it
Or it's a way to save up for a future together.
Load More Replies...Can never understand why people have to cheat. If you find someone better, just break up. FFS!! be honest, people.
Some people get a kick out of that very thing: knowing that they’re tricking their partner and doing something wrong. Honesty would spoil their “fun”.
Load More Replies...Half of which was yours or was that only his share? Trying to figure how long you guys were together.....
I'm guessing 29 months. I'm guessing. I'll be back with the real answer after I use my calculator. (Yes, I am right. The answer is 29 months. 2 years and...5 months? Yeah, because 2 years is 24 months and plus 5 is 29.)
Load More Replies...Maybe only 15 months. If both were both were putting $100 every month.

Not funny. People believe this c**p. The government does NOT use gift cards. Immediate payment when an accident has just happened is NOT required. Call your non-emergency police to check BEFORE you send/spend money.
True. Both old people and young kids are vulnerable to this. I have an old aunt of mine who once received such a message and asked a cousin to help her pay it over the internet. Aunt wasn’t tech savvy, cousin had just enough skills to handle the phone but was too young to actually understand stuff (he was around 6-7 years at that time). I think the message said something to the effect of her having to pay some amount to avoid her utilities being cut off. They ended up paying half of the requested sum before some other relatives heard of it and stopped them. It was still a large sum that they lost. Now this story serves as a learning curve for people in my family and gets brought up every time someone mentions a scam.
Load More Replies...Our supermarkets in Australia have warning signs posted at the checkouts to inform people they will NOT be asked to buy gift cards to pay genuine bills. Last Christmas I bought three gift cards, one for myself and two for my grandchildren, and the checkout assistant was quite concerned until I assured her I knew what I was doing. Grandkids bought themselves stuff they wanted, and so did I. And I did appreciate her actions.
Remember the 10-2 RULE. Before making a decision, wait 10 minutes and talk to 2 people.
Interesting, I'd never heard of this before. I am still waiting for the IRS to come arrest my husband for overdue taxes I refused to pay since I couldn't figure out which local Walmart was closer.
Load More Replies...This is so sad. Kitboga is one of my favourite scam baiters, really educational, and hilarious. DO NOT REDEEM!
Wife called me and said someone purportedly from the power company called her and advised we were behind on payment. "When was the last check we sent?" "A few weeks ago." "Did we get a credit on the bill from last payment?" Yes, it's a scam right?" Probably, we'll see.
I dont know why this one is still flytting around as funny. This is just a person who only know about two reasons to steam. And then judges others based on their own ignorance.
Twitch, discord, Facebook, YouTube. Gamers use twitch, YouTube, discord. Crafters use YouTube, Facebook. Voice/music reactions and analysis (the charismatic voice, Tank the tech) use YouTube, twitch for streaming. Sometimes discord for their own community. So many different things not to do with sex/ Only Fans.

Yes, because he knew the rental car he was getting would have brand new tyres. Or his tyres were so bad that he could guarantee the rental's would be better, in which case the rental company would almost certainly notice. So, yep, another story that checks out.
Had a friend who drove a short trip to a car dealer, then test drove a car just to save gas when doing some errands. He also once wanted to test drive a fancy BMW but he was worried they wouldnt think he was serious if he came there in his old sh!tty car, so he first drove to a Volvo dealer and they let him try a Volvo - then he drove to BMW in that one and they let him test drive a rather fancy Beemer.
The BMW dealer didnt see the dealer plates on the car. In USA, a test drive vehicle is very noticible.
