In today's day and age, where a hectic office culture and lack of work-life balance reign supreme, it's vital to take a few moments for yourself. Whether that's pouring yourself a cup of coffee or firing up your social media, we all sometimes need a break.
For this one, let's take a look at 'Classical Sarcasm.' This fun internet project mixes humor and art to create memes, and they perfectly describe our everyday ups and downs. Here's to escaping the stresses of modern life. Even if for a moment.

When i was in China a few years ago i had this conversation with one of the few english speaker i met in a Guangzhou street market, he was genuinely not able to recognize different white people.
I've often wondered if the rolls of hair on the side of the men's wigs denoted rank somehow.
Nah, it was how many sausage rolls they could hold in the curls.

Well, of course. We are trained in the ancient rune language from early age to be able to do that. Öguggungebill!
Just like Jesus I'm a carpenter, forged in Valhalla with the hammer of Thor!
Load More Replies...Is that still funny for swedish people or are u tired about Ikea jokes ? I mean the meme is good but the joke soooo overheard
It's not still funny. It never was funny. The only thing that's funny about it is that people can find it so hard to assemble furniture with simple clear instructions.

I mean, thousands of years ago people were making cave-paintings of things that the hunted.
And I, who thinks it is annoying to have to wait a few seconds untill the other person has taken the picture before I can eat - imagen back then...
Reminds me of a joke I heard recently: "Mom I'm going to Ken's for a sleepover." "Make sure you bring protection." "Mom, I'm only 14." "And I'm 28 so here's a condom."
Don't you know a foot rub, turns into a back rub and then the back rub turns into a
Damn girls are aware of that back rub proposal as the "i want sex" tactical approach ??! We use to think how clever we are...
Did you wanted?? Edited to add: maybe i5's baby talk and I did not get it

That is an awesome victorian meme, like a lesbian legendary move. Should be number 1 here.
Several of my relationships summed up in one picture. Painting. Meme. Whatever

Reminds me of guys who wear skinny jeans and sneakers, and in winter they roll the jeans legs up to tempt us with their bare ankles, red from cold.
Oh lordy why did you have to put that ghastly picture in my head...

Swedish churches tended to be all white inside in modern times, until it was discovered that people hundreds of years ago started to hate the pics in the ceiling.. Lota of them, like hundreds, sometime sexually explicit (ladies and the devil) or pure gore from the saints executions. It was painted white at many places. Now most of them are restored and you can indulge in medival storytelling during sermon.
I don't think it was about people hating the pictures, the white walls came with the Lutheran protestant thesis that didn't believe in saints and thought that people should not be entertained with pictures in a holy place.

That aside, temple steeples where often the tallest structures in the days of old, thus they were prone to destruction by lightning strikes. That behind, lightning was often ascribed to ancient gods as emanating from their temples. "The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance."__B. Franklin (inventor of the lightning rod)
I sometimes think I am the only one, but I find them unattractive on others and certainly do not want any myself.
Load More Replies...What, you expect a physicist to do something about a virus? That's like asking a business major to run the country.
Newton *did* propose a cure for the plague. It used lozenges made from the vomit of a toad that has been killed by hanging it upside down in the smoke from a fire. The guy was a groundbreaking physicist but also totally into alchemy, magic and stuff. He's the original poster boy for expertise in one area not translating into authority in other domains.
Load More Replies...That's all very well Isaac but is there colour on the Dark side of the moon?
It's dark to us, but not to the sun. Pink Floyd knew.
Load More Replies...Also dusting... Where the heck do all these dust bunnies come from?
Load More Replies...She looked really familiar. Realized that pic is on the book "Pottungen" that I just read 😄. Had been wondering if it was an actual classic art or just a illustration, now I know!

Maybe I’ll get a bigger washtub and put it up on a table. Nah, that’s stupid. This is better.
I've read that this painting is probably meant to imply that she's getting ready to wash her nether regions, while still being subtle enough to hang on a wall in public. The position of the bowl, and (for some reason) her exposed foot are the clues. I'm not an art historian, so I don't know if it's true--but the pose definitely makes more sense that way.
Load More Replies...Oh no you don't have to be employed to get replaced, all those fanfics you made about Napoleon Bonaparte online are still replaceable.
The voices in my head keep me company when I'm lonely. Sometimes I'm glad the CIA and Bill Gates put those microchips in my brain.
I heard those chips act like a cell phone too! Great! Now I can leave my brain at the bar!
Load More Replies...Myself no more then normal. Now where is it, did I put it over here or over there? I think over there. Continue conversation..
I hear Voices In My Head. They council me, they understand. They talk to me. *If you know, you know ;-)*

Load More Replies...From the moment I get this text I begin worrying, will they follow the instructions to ring my flat so I can buzz them in or will they leave it in the unlocked vestibule where any loser can grab it.
That is already taken. Looked it up. But didn't wanna go to the page, just in case, to see what it is. Either porn or just parken to make a profit?
Load More Replies...I have only you problems . Now go be someone else only problems.
And some friends does the overly dramatic PLUS vagueboiking. So you dont know if they are sad or currently invading North Korea .

GrubHub menu for those who want to be tormented by food porn for hours then decide what they want….only to realize that they close in 15 minutes…that’s my life.
Try to do work for just two minutes. Tell yourself it's only two minutes. Sometimes, you'll be able to get work done after those two minutes. Sometimes, you won't (in which case you can try again later). But those two minutes of work are better than doing nothing and scrolling on BP :) Which is what I'm doing right now, so I guess I'm not very qualified for advice, am I?
My shrink told me to make a list of 3 things I wanted to do the next day. The satisfaction of checking them off was motivational. She said even if only one got done, it would still feel like an accomplishment. It helped a lot.
Load More Replies...I hate this so much. I’m not lazy but told myself I was for years because that was the common theme around me. ‘You’re lazy’. I’m not lazy. I struggle with starting things. Once I start I’m great. I can get a million things done in a short time. But man the anxiety is crippling sometimes. And I just turned 40 fyi
I struggle with starting things too. Once I start them and really start getting into it, I can work quite efficiently. But when I haven't started it, I'll never get around to it haha. I believe this quote helps sometimes: “Well begun is half done.” - Aristotle. If we only start, we have a chance at finishing once we get the momentum going.
Load More Replies...I'm always surprised by how much I can get done with a timer set for a mere 5 minutes!
The execution of Lady Jane Grey! I saw it at the National Gallery in London as a teenager and haven't forgotten it since.
Me too!! It is an incredibly moving painting and I bring up its "awe" way too many times in conversation!!! Moved me to tears even as a teenager 💔

well he is 3 times your age and you don't even have a safeword.. to start with..
I need to relook through my grandma’s genealogy collection, but I think my family’s related to her in some way.

Reality? Women dress for other women because most men are that particular. Getting a compliment from a woman is the height of the evening.
Women of that era would be shocked about how modern men have let themselves go. No makeup, high heels or wigs! Maybe they would would even seek out our Drag Queens to feel more at home /j
Why joke? We all dress like peasants worshipping insane peasant kings on a magic little screen... We can't even imagine the work it took one of them to take a leak compared to how we are now haha!

It seens Bored Panda users are so depressed is actually sad to read all the "me too", "thats so me" comments
Happy people have less need, to post comments on social media, I think.
