Memes are so prevalent in today’s internet ecosystem that it wouldn’t be surprising to the average user that the very fabric of this so-called world wide web would be literally made of memes. You are what you eat… or consume… or… you get the point.
While you probably don’t need any proof of that, you’re gonna get it anyway with Epic Texts, a Facebook meme page that’s all about wildly funny and wholesome texts and memes. Enjoy!

I really need to know the dogs name so that I can make up theme songs about their friendship in my head...
So, there’s a meme page on Facebook called Epic Texts. Its legacy points towards the idea of having shared predominantly funny texts as memes, but has since then branched out to include regular, run-of-the-mill memes too.
The page was created just before the pandemic hit in February, 2020, and has since then accumulated a following of 54,000 people.
And about time! Although, for the record, I'm a white person and my skin isn't that weird orange pink colour. They should make bandaids in a sort of porridge colour for couch potatoes of Northern European descent.
Porridge. 🤣 The "shade" of my powder is transparent, i.e. anemic ghost. Light gray thin tights are nude to me.

I'm white. Sixty years old. Never once had a bandaid that's been close to my skin colour. I believe all bandaids should be either patterned or primary and secondary colours.
I'm so blonde that it never occurred to me that bandaids were meant to be skin color until they came out with different skin color ones. I just thought it was just the ugly bland color the company chose...
Yeah, this seems to be some kind of perceived injustice against black people. In food preparation they are required to be blue.

I'm 62 and mine have unicorns on them! U-NI-CORNS!! I sometimes try juggeling knifes just to have an excuse to wear one...
Or maybe make them clear, so it will always be the "right" skin tone...
We used to have clear ones when I was a pup in Swaziland. They worked for everyone

It never occurred to me that they’re supposed to match your skin and blend in because they were always brown but ya know what, this makes sense
Every single time this is posted, anywhere on the entire internet, it generates tons of comments from outraged white people. If black people being happy about a very minor form of representation that doesn't affect you in any way makes you angry, maybe take a good long look at yourself and ask why.
We can never be happy about anything. It pisses me off. I've been buying alot of stuff that's "my skin color" from crayons to bandaids. I even bought a black(brown) unicorn. One of my kids loved it because it had skin like her. (Kinders are different idk).

They've been making brown bandages for years. Getting hospitals and retailers to buy them... That's a different matter.
It's truly ridiculous how long it took the Band-Aid companies ito get that idea.
The white people saying, "tHeY dOnT mAtCh MY sKiN cOlOr EiThEr!!" and "tHiS iSnT rAciSm!" 🤣🤣
This is why I prefer bandaids that look like animals. That beige color doesn't match my skin either.
Everyone should insist on the bright, colorful ones they give kids. Dinosaurs, T-Rex (specific dino), or whatever. Don't hide it, flaunt the color.
this is great! but i have to say i was impressed with my nurse placing a Bugs Bunny Bandaid on my arm today after i got a shot!! not my matching skin tone, and i have traversed the sun almost 70 times now LOL
This is why I buy children's bandaids with ex. Spiderman pictures, because my skin is very light, so bandaids are easy to see anyway.
I heard about them years ago but never saw them in stores until recently.
I've never thought a band aid's color would cause so much problem to people. Like it never ever matched my skin tone either. No one has orangish/brown color like that. It is simply made for covering small wounds. It is just a band aid.
So, we need LCD bandages with color that you can automatically adjust using a phone camera & app.
can someone explain why it matters what colour/pattern a bandaid has?
I'm happy for you and I understand the context, but I agree with Jennik, my (I'm white) skin doesn't even come close to a band aid.
I am a very average white guy, I have NEVER had a bandaid with my skintone. I don't even understand why it would matter
Racism doesn't matter to you because you're white. That's why you don't understand why it matters.

Good for you but just so you know: I'm white and have never had a bandaid that was as barely spotable like yours :-)
I always thought the point of bandaids was to stand out. Originally as a conversation starter (‘hey fellow classmates, please ask me how I got a really stupid papercut so that I can boast about the bandaid for some reason in typical kid fashion’) or later as a ‘please be aware I am some degree of injured and I might need to go change this bandaid to avoid it bleeding again/possible infection/et cetera’. Either way, bandaids that blend in are a good thing for people who might be self conscious about it being visible (and I am reminded I should buy dino or space bandaids for myself)!
same goes for those who use the diabetic sensor thingy, make skin tone colors in those also!!
I’m so sad this took the world long, but so glad it finally happened! 🥹
Under what not offensive name tey sell it, if I may ask? Body or not body tone?
That's just wholesome! And just the kind of professionals we need more and more around us!
If you dive deeper into the internet, you can find opinions on various forum platforms like Reddit and Quora of folks debating whether memes still have it in them.
Face value, that’s understandable. Memes aren’t for everyone, and hence there will be people who never find it funny. Then there are others who think they have overstayed their welcome, or have run their course on the internet.
It always amaze me that cats don't meow to each other, they just talk to us, this one was just really seducting and it worked !
One internaut pointed out that memes haven’t been funny to them ever since ca. 2018. In their post, they mentioned the likes of Ugandan knuckles, VR chat, DDLC, Logan Paul, "Pictures preceding unfortunate events," Spaget and more, which were “peak”, but nothing significant thereafter.
And the cat is somewhere in the middle, very confused thinking "what the hell is going on here?" 😅
For others, memes were never really funny. One such netizen asked the question as to why and one Quorian pointed out that memes don’t have to be inherently that. They are obnoxious, rude or antagonistic, but not really funny.
And since it’s a form of communication for some, it doesn’t have to be funny all the time. Especially with topics that are hard to verbalize, like mental health or just pure sadness.
There are also folks, however, who have always loved memes. Even if they are now past their expiration date.
One Redditor vented about how folks are quick to declare a meme dead and by proxy they assume it’s no longer funny. That’s not how humor works, nor is it based on objectivism. In the words of this one Redditor, “There's a video that actually explains why dead memes are still around."
All jokes aside, the discussion continued elaborating what it really means for a meme to be dead. It’s not necessarily how long they lived, but rather how often people used and abused it. And since everyone experiences meme frequencies differently, everyone thus thinks certain memes are dead or not. And also funny or not.
Another Redditor also elaborated that the same applies for a number of other things. Music and fashion are prime examples as, say, people might listen to some songs on repeat, but sooner or later they might just become so meh that they could get removed from playlists. But that’s subjective experience, and otherwise doesn’t mean that something is dead per se.
Nothing makes me happier than to see a dog that enjoys his job. 🥰
To be fair, there is a slight nuance. In reference to movies, different movies from different eras have different structures to appeal to different strokes of different folks. Say that ten times fast. Action movies, for instance, these days are significantly faster than they used to be back in the day. Memes can be subject to that too, if given enough time.
“The parliament of overprotective owls” sounds like it has a potential movie script in it 🦉🤎 ...And we would watch!
:-) That remind me of an incident years ago when my daughter was about 6 years old. I had been made redundant and the company I (no longer) worked for did a marketing stunt at their flagship store where people could write on post-it notes and stick them to the big front window. My daughter wrote one that said, "WHY DID YOU MAKE MUMMY LOSE HER JOB?".
Revenge prank: Photocopy a piece of their favorite candy.. Get it on film, and you might have an AFV winner! 😏

And don’t forget there’s memes everywhere, including on Bored Panda, so the journey doesn’t have to really end here.
“Yeah, Jeff, the best kind of cat IS the kind you own, think about that for a second.”
My daughter puts mascara on in the car, I announce "BUMP" every time we hit a, well, a bump, so she knows to take the wand away from her eye. Scary thing is when I accidentally do it when alone ...
