Brainy memes might not be considered the most serious type of content; however, some of them can get pretty complex. Despite the seemingly straightforward format, they often carry hidden meanings or require a moment to connect the dots before the belly laughs start.

Plenty of such funny brain memes are shared on a public Facebook group titled exactly that—’Brainy Memes’. They cover everything from human behavior to math-based puns and even dinosaurs, among other things, and seem to be pretty enjoyable as the group consists of over 280k members already. Scroll down to find some of their brain memes and see what kind of cranial jokes make you giggle the most.

Funny Brain Memes, Statistics, and Internet Culture: the Real Impact of the Phenomena

Brainy memes have become such a major part of the internet culture that it would likely be difficult to dodge them online, even if you wanted to. The Washington Post revealed that according to the website Know Your Meme, during the years from 2008 to 2015, the total number of memes grew to 12,302.

It’s not only their sheer number that makes them feel omnipresent online. These funny brain memes cover nearly every topic and area there is, which means there is a little something for every internet user out there. Whether it’s cars, cakes, or science that interests you, there ought to be at least some memes about it.

Statista revealed that memes are some of the most shared content online among US internet users. According to their data, 35% of Gen Z and Millennials are very likely to share memes someone else created, while 29% are very likely to create them themselves.

That might be one of the explanations for the huge number of brain memes on the internet. People get creative by often using a popular template yet depicting something they find funny, important, or dear to their own hearts. Towards Data Science found out that back in 2018, for example, the most popular template for memes was the iconic image of Drake dancing in his Hotline Bling video.

I'm guilty of this, but in a question. Sometimes I can't understand someone talking, and when they ask a question and I already asked them to repeat themselves twice or so, I just answer and hope I didn't mess up.

Drake-related images are just one of the thousands of examples of meme trends based on popular culture. They often portray famous movie stars or characters (have you ever tried counting all the Baby Yoda memes you encounter when scrolling?), athletes who have just broken a new record, or singers and their latest hits. However, funny brain memes can also be used to cover more serious topics, such as politics, human and animal rights, and others. (Web Tribunal pointed out that as much as 60% of memes are politics-related.)

One of the most popular memes, predating the image of Drake dancing, is the renowned image of the ‘Expanding Brain’. The brain meme depicts the progression of certain ideas which seem to be stimulating the mind, similarly to the jokes shared on the ‘Brainy Memes’ Facebook group. Started back in 2018, it features a vast collection of puns based on science, knowledge in different fields, wordplay, or similar conundrums, which sometimes take us a second to work out. In this way these funny brain memes provide not only entertainment but mental exercise as well.

Cognifit emphasized that stimulating the brain regularly can help boost our cognition and support the cognitive skills we use every day, such as memory, planning, and focus. It pointed out that exercising our brain is as important as physical activity, which is why it’s crucial to properly maintain brain fitness as well. According to Cognifit, brain fitness is the brain’s ability to learn what the organism has to know to survive in a changing environment.

It's true because when the quiet kid recides enough is enough it is a lesson the bully (and the rest of the school) will remember for a long time. The bully is then in danger from all the pent up rage and anger.

I’ve often found there is a different kind of bully. It is the quiet kid who whispers in the ear of a large kid to cause trouble. They usually give themselves away by their smirk.

6th-8th grade for me because I was the big kid that got picked on but I was the bully for standing up for myself. And I wonder where my dislike for people came from?

Had that happen to me. After 9 years of being bullied by a kid I picked him up and bounced him off the locker. I never seen so many teachers run so fast. He never bothered me again though.

I was lucky that my bullies tended to attack me in isolated corners so no one was close or saw anything when I jumped one of them when there were only two and the other needed all his strength to keep me from ripping the other's throat out with my teeth. I mauled his shoulder like a dog while both of them tried to get me off of him. They didn't dare tell anybody because no one would believe that the two fittest boys of the whole school were attacked out of nowhere by the shortest, plump, silent weirdo that barely ever talked to anyone. Not even teachers. But the two were the worst of my bullies and after me fighting back with the intention to kill one of them spooked them so badly they did everything to avoid me at all costs after that. Seeing blood run out of my mouth while I screamed incoherently had shocked them quite a lot. They managed to push me off and ran like hell was after them. The others soon realised that something happened although no one spoke about it and I had my peace

I think it's like in workplaces, they know if something happens to the bully, or they actually have a word with the bully, then drama will unfold, there will be claims and court cases, or in the sense of the school bully, their parents will be called in blaming the school and suing them etc, whereas the nice quiet people who get bullied usually just keep it to themselves.

The teacher always sees the second action, so the bullied gets in trouble for defending themselves, verbally or otherwise. This is why I taught my daughter two rules: revenge is a dish best served cold; and be swift and surreptitious.

It's always the victims fault-you provoked it, you shouldn't have let him get to you, you should be able to stand up for yourself, he's only annoying you because he likes you, you need to learn to forgive-you're smarter than him and it makes him upset, if you didn't want attention you shouldn't have dressed like that, put yourself in his position and have some sympathy, and endlessly on and on. So sick of it.

Now show a meme of mothers of the quiet children (like me) taking down those teachers, parents of the bullies and the damned bullies themselves. YEAH. LIKE THAT.

The capacity to adjust to an ever-changing environment gets increasingly more significant as the years go by. Nowadays people have to keep up with constant and rapid technological advancements, which is why it’s crucial for them to train the brain in order to maintain the ability to continually learn new things. Such an ability is known as brain plasticity, which defines the nervous system changing its activity as a response to certain external stimuli.

Harvard Health Publishing pointed out that in order to boost the process of brain plasticity, a person has to practice somewhat challenging activities on a regular basis. Take sports, for example. Even though it’s primarily related to exercising the muscles on your body, quite a few types of exercise require combining it with brain activity, such as being mindful of your breathing or anticipating certain movements, among other things.

ADVERTISEMENT

Scientific American revealed that some activities, which people often believe they do on autopilot (such as walking, for instance), are more linked to brain activity than they might think. 

Research shows that different types of exercise result in positive changes to certain areas of the brain, such as the hippocampus (the part related to memory) or prefrontal cortex (responsible for our planning, decision-making, and multitasking abilities).

Fish shouldn't die that regularly if you care for them right. 1. Dechlorinate the water before adding the fish. 2. Do water changes (don't change all the water). This prevents toxic ammonia buildup. 3. Don't put fish in a bowl. It's way too small, esp. for a goldfish. A tank with a filter is much better for the fish and you can do less water changes.

According to Harvard Health Publishing, engaging in creative pursuits can also be a great way to train your brain. Whether it’s painting, playing an instrument, or taking up writing, activities of a similar kind can help improve your cognitive function.

In order to reach the best results, it’s advisable to follow three simple yet crucial guidelines: regularly challenging the brain, engaging in complex activities, and maintaining some level of constant practicing.

There's two ways this plays out according to clichés. The first is that the operator is correct (man-child cliché, let's leave this one here), and the second is that he's proven he's definitely the father, because that is definitely a dad joke.

Not totally true: the yellow is not because of the "gap in the colour scheme", it is a reaction on the lines that are black instead of blue.
