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.
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."
My last roommate would match with guys on Tinder and invite them over solely to motivate both of us to clean 😂 unfortunately she’s also a nervous pooper so as soon as the guy said “ok I’m coming over,” she’d have to run to the bathroom and panic poop as fast as she could. Miss those days, she was such a funny weirdo 😂

I read this out to my wife who washed the front door & security screen door today because we have friends from interstate stopping in for lunch in 2 days' time. In case anyone asks, I was changing our cat's litterbox & putting out the rubbish bin for tomorrow's collection
I seriously scammed my ex one day by telling him I needed to get the house cleaned because I'm having a Tupperware party. I seriously bought snacks for it and everything. Then I faked a phone call and told him it was canceled.
My family and I did this over the weekend lol. My sister's birthday is today, and we celebrated yesterday for her to have friends over. The house was cleaned top to bottom Friday and Saturday-
every time we do this, I want to shout, "we can't let people know we SIT!!!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBwELzvnrQg Either that or I say, "Let us store irregular shapes inside shapes with flat sides." https://nathanwpyle.threadless.com/designs/we-own-things/home/fine-art-print "We own things, but we have hidden them."
My dad's grandmother was very Pennsylvania Dutch; she apparently used to say 'ret up.'

or while waiting to hear from IT that your system is coming back up... still here, still doing stupid stuff..
I just leave "Get Well Soon" cards on my mantle so that if anyone comes over, they'll see those and think I was too sick to clean.
I literally invite people over, just to make sure the house gets a proper clean up at least twice a month😂
It's amazing how much debris you can fit under a rug under the threat of someone coming over.
Just don't open the door to the home office during the house tour, everything will fall out like an avalanche.
It's amazing how much you can accomplish around the house while procrastinating on something else like a writing project too
It's amazing how much you can accomplish around the house when hubby goes away for a few weeks. OMG the place is nearly clean.
Yep! Had visitors staying last week. House is nice and clean now. Lol!
Thanks to mental health issues, it's no problem, no one comes over to my place.
Yup, and as for your room, you have two options: A.) clean the room, B.) shut your friggin door. (Does not apply of that one nosy kid is coming.)
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 ...
