The longer you surf the net, the greater your chances of accidentally stumbling down one of the many digital rabbit holes. There, even the most toughened-up internet veterans might find themselves utterly befuddled by the content they encounter.
Enter, stage right, the ‘Iconic Posts’ account on X (formerly Twitter). It’s a project that documents some of the most bizarre, unhinged, and chaotic memes ever to grace the World Wide Web. We’ve collected some of the strangest images to confuse and amuse you. Check them out as you scroll down.

Byee see ya in 2044 (Hope you don't mind me rounding up to celebrate the holidays and I expect my job will waiting. Send paycheck to Hundred Acre Wood)
I'm near The Hundred Acre Wood (aka Ashdown Forest). Be popping in for a few years myself!
Load More Replies...We just moved back to the Forest. I look out my window and see the river, mountains, wildlife, and snow is starting to fall. So good for the soul!
Where have you been all night and why are your eyes so dilated?
Why can't you be more like your brother? EDIT: Wait, no. Gross!
As it turns out, quite a few people are massive fans of utterly unhinged internet content. At the time of writing, the ‘Iconic Post’ (aka @origins_audio) X account (formerly Twitter, thanks, Elon) had a following of nearly 890k internet users.
It just goes to show that weirdness will always have an audience. Even when the chaos is turned all the way up to 11.
Bro is brutally honest at his breaking point. The customer is a good friend.
I think that Gemini was saying the second person, not the first. A perfectly reasonable statement.

Load More Replies...My best "short" nap was from 2 pm to 11 am, I was almost late for work XD
Load More Replies...Yep. We're a whole subset of the "I'll just rest my eyes for a minute" subspecies. We exist.
Load More Replies...I know this all too well.. incredibly irritating. It's like my phone just said screw you and your alarm-
I call those involuntary naps. I know it's a bad idea, but my body is demanding it so it's happening
I knew it was time to resign from a job (that stressed me out and ruined my wellbeing) when I wanted to go to bed without supper upon arrival home...
Memes, at their core, are ideas, bits of content, and glimpses into people’s identities. They get shared (and hopefully reshared), whether that’s on the internet or in real life. So a meme, by definition, is only as successful as it is viral.
Memes that barely get any attention are simply failed attempts to lodge an idea in people’s minds. On the flip side, something that spreads everywhere is an example of success, even if it might be slightly controversial, bizarre, or not up everyone’s alley.
So, you're bleeding... But...could you weally punish this little-wittle face?
FYI Cats biting is actually their equivalent of kissing - it's a very intimate gesture. Scratching is the problem, but this is claws-in.
Picture 1. I know it's an arm BUT - Picture it as a finger and you get a weird miniature cat.
And if it's early in the morning and you're only on your second coffee, then it's a carrot
Load More Replies...Exactly my thought!!That's not remorse in it's eyes. It's questioning it's whole existence and why all that fierce hunter-energy is squandered in this, subpar, way.
Load More Replies..."I's sowwy. (Snort) Yeah, sorry your arm wasn't covered in fish paste."
Please can someone explain Venmo to me? If someone sends a request, do you have to pay it, or can you refuse?
I think u can refuse... but i dont have venmo so...
Load More Replies...I tried not to laugh at such villainy, but the devil on my shoulder kept making me stare at it until I broke.
I'm already a Catholic, but if he wants to talk with me about his Lord and Savior, I'm still letting him in. Heck, I don't care if he's Mormon.
"You know how you've always wanted a real diamond engagement ring? .....That's right, I've bought a horse!"
Load More Replies...Should I be more impressed by the hat or that the horse only has three legs? /S "HIGH HO TRIPOD! AWAY!"
Reminds me of Bruce Willis in The Whole Ten Yards. MV5BNDc2Zj...a3b43e.jpg
Where did he get a hat? Did he notice the high sun that day and put it on before leaving the barn?
However, a meme’s lack of context (as evidenced on ‘Iconic Post’) is very much a double-edged sword. It can work in favor of the meme itself just as much as against it. For one, when an image is chaotic and doesn’t have a caption, it leaves the audience baffled by what they’re seeing.
While some might find humor here, others are turned off because what they’re looking at is completely random.
So I checked and learned Lady Gaga became world famous fifteen years ago. She is just one of those new pop stars to me.
I am going to say, she is much more than a pop star. Love her or hate her, but she has insane talent. She is an incredible song writer,she has a powerhouse voice, she is a chameleon has transformed herself many different times, and has put out an album with Tony Bennett, and she is a great actress. I also know her former audio tech from when she was touring, and he said nothing but amazing things about her. She was always super respectful and treated all the crew like friends, she found out everyone's birthday and would bring them a birthday gift, go to the bar and have a drink with them, and have dinner at their houses when on a break or in the persons home city. When she 1st came out I wasn't too impressed, but the more I learned about her, and the more I read about, and the more I heard her, I absolutely love her. If you want to see her amazingness, watch the most recent "A Star is Born". She blew me away in that movie

If cartoons have taught me anything, if you drop them from high enough they bury themselves. /S I was trying to see if this was real or a joke and stumbled across a related rabbit hole - horse diving. Atlantic city - the horse(s) jump 40 feet into a 12 foot pond. There are various videos on youtube. == https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX7JIjEBM0U

Load More Replies...Omg WKRP!!! My bro and I have laughed for decades over this line
Load More Replies...A coworker of my Dad ... told a story from when he was in the Luftwaffe in the late sixties, maybe early seventies. They were still using the Noratlas transport planes, not yet the Transall, which indicates it can't have happened much later. They were in Crete, and had befriended a stray Donkey there, and decided to take him home. Knocked him out pre-flight by Valium, but didn't have more with them to reknock when waking up doesn't go that smooth. Once he woke up, they regretted to not have more sedativa with them: he panicked, ran around and kicked about, and one of them opened the door meant to release parachutists, some thousand meters above the mediterranean sea. The donkey made his way out, and, likely, died on impact on the sea, or was knocked unconscious and drowned. Sad story. Stupid attempt - not having any backup medicine to avoid a panicking Donkey on a plane sure doesn't have a ring of thoughtful planning to it, ... Poor Donkey. Stupid humans, as per usual, ...
I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt the person didn't know what ghosting means. I mean I'm pretty sure my mother doesn't know and likely much of her age group.
Load More Replies...Wrong time to try on something you don't fully understand the meaning of
This lack of context, however, shows memes at their purest and rawest. When you have just an image, without any verbal explanation whatsoever, you’re relying on the visual to carry the entire message. If the image goes viral, it can become iconic and entrench itself in internet history.
Besides that, there are plenty of people who love the whole mystery aspect. They enjoy doing some detective work and guessing what the images are all about and what exactly happened.
Just make sure you close it first. You don't want those pixels to spray everywhere!
Load More Replies...I got the flip and like it, I feel like the fold is more of a tablet
Load More Replies...Why are they showing me a sandwich right now? It's after midnight, I'm in bed covered by cats...and starving! I call not fair!
If you are covered in cats, you are already doing better than 90% of humanity. Starving is a small price for the overlords' happiness. At least that's what my cat is telling me - when I am Stück starving in bed petting her.
Load More Replies...More like: Lets add sh*t you dont want that will slow your device down and force you to get a new one
Computers, brother in Christ, and sandwiches? Care to explain this one to a non American?
Microsoft often suggests that a user finish setting up their computer despite the computer being set up already, brother in Christ is an emphatic response, and I have no idea about the sandwich.
Load More Replies...I have an old HP that's steam powered, I swear, and it just gave me the same message. HAHAHAHA
U be like shut the f**k up stupid a*s you B like likky liky doo d oo sahit a*s f**k
There is another layer to all the unhinged weirdness that you’ll find in these memes, though. It’s exactly because memes live and die based on their virality that they need to be relatable. To put it bluntly, if an image resonates with you on some level, you’re likely to pass it on.
On the other hand, if you feel no connection whatsoever, you’re likely to ignore it. So memes, whatever form they might take, need to be relatable. At least to some extent!
They have to get a little happiness however they can. They work at Starbucks.
Little Happiness is one of my favourite Aluminum group albums!
Load More Replies...They asked for his name and he responded, "Uh, Chris" and instead of writing his name down as "Chris", they kept the filler "Uh" as a part of name. Even when it clearly isn't.
Load More Replies...For the life of me, I can't figure out what your name is supposed to be. All I'm coming up with is "pyro", which isn't even a name.
Load More Replies...My nickname is “Pip.” I once got my coffee back with “Pimp” on the label. I’m a little old lady - one who laughed hysterically at that moment.
ive grown accustomed to biological life, so ive seen this show before(quite good, i put it on when rumble and frenzy are being loud to babysit them for soundwave), and no. you tried, so i wont hold it against you, just do better in the name of megatron next time, you got that?
Load More Replies...And he would have gotten away with it, too... if it hadn't been for those darn kids
Load More Replies...AND I WOULD HACE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT TOO. IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR YOU MEDDLING KIDS.
Something that also helps memes spread is adding some humor into the mix. Though it’s definitely not required, comedy can help content go viral. After all, if you’re laughing and enjoying yourself, you’re likely to want to loop your friends into the whole thing, too. However, people have very different senses of humor.
It’s essential to recognize this because you’re going to attract different audiences based on the jokes you share.
Nobody wants to hear footlong, airspeed velocity, and swallow in the same sentence.
Load More Replies...My irl name is hard to pronounce, so when I was in highschool everybody called me George (does not slightly resemble my name, idk why they chose George)
In the area of Spain where I live, we are famous for always answering a question with another question. Even the simplest questions, like "do you like apples?". Answer "why?". It drives my mad! All the time. I hate it!
Hope so. I mean, I wouldn't want my Last Meal to taste bad. And eating glass is a last meal -- you can't survive having your esophagus, stomach, and intestines shredded like that. Even if you get to the hospital right away, it's still a very iffy thing.
Load More Replies...I'm sure that has gone poorly at some point in history
Load More Replies...Dad jokes, for example, are corny and inoffensive, so they’re almost always a safe bet. Sure, you’ll get people who don’t like them because of their cheesiness. But for the vast majority of the internet, dad jokes are a bit of good old fun.
Now contrast that with Gen Z humor which often very heavily relies on randomness. It has plenty of fans, but it’s going to go over many people’s heads, too.
I recently finished a jigsaw that took me just two weeks to complete. I'm really pleased with myself because it said '3-5 Years' on the box.

It means that el mosque has emerged from the Missouri River. Don't worry, they usually just eat cattle. But you'll probably be safer in McCook or Wauneta.
At first I thought you meant Mosque like the temple and I was like WHOA
Load More Replies...What it means? Home of the Hexham Grey. "The Hexham Grey is a formidable insect. It is a mosquito so monstrous in size it would not be out of place buzzing around a herd of grazing dinosaurs. Consequently, even though they are scarce, Hexham Greys are certainly noticeable when present."
Got to break it to you… think you’ve made the journey to the centre of the earth…
Ideally, you’ll end up with a meme that’s relatable and funny (at least to some people). Something that can help you go viral is commenting on important recent events.
There’s a potential problem, though. As soon as the news is replaced by other events, your meme might lose a lot of its context. That might make it incomprehensible to people in a few years or even just a few months.
*gets on massive soapbox* People, this right here is why using proper English - including capitalization, punctuation, and grammar - is SO F*****G IMPORTANT! *wheezes with exertion* I got massively triggered there, my apologies.
Its OK Laura we all understand calm down chill (I think you forgot your meds)
Load More Replies...Someone tried this on me. Not a hacker, a weirdo troll. I kept messaging back asking what was taking them so long. "I opened the fancy biscuits for you!" and "The pot of tea is going cold". Never heard from them again.
It’s a far safer bet to make memes that tackle fundamental questions about being a human being. Things like health and wealth, relationships and parenting…
...As well as upvoting memes in the middle of the work day while being chronically exhausted now that you’re an adult with tons of responsibilities.
I LOVE GOLDEN CORRAL (the steak guy did a trick for me once, i didn't even ask)
If anyone is annoyed by this? Then I definitely do not recommend buying an album called "Short Music For Short People" by various rock/punk type artists and are songs that are all 30 seconds or less long! 🙂
I've actually got a solo on a chord progression that I'm working on since forever ... from the attempts - usually, you have a set of licks and method of improvisation inbetween instead of note-by-note composing or writing down - that I considered unfit for this one, I've derived four soli on different progressions. Some things just take time, some are surprisingly fast, ... Paranoid by Black Sabbath, was written and recorded within half an hour. Great song? Sure so! Other ones, by them and by other bands, took years from the first recordings or first lines written down, to a recordable state of song, ... sometimes, I guess, you just have to accept how things work, ...
🪤 huh it comes up on my phone as "trap". Never seen it before!

I feel like even without the double meaning it's bad. What acronym includes "un" as its own word in the acronym? I'm unreasonably angry at it, haha.
And doesn't "silent" imply "quiet?" Seems redundant to me.
Load More Replies...Every single time I see this one I start laughing almost uncontrollably for absolutely no reason at all. It's not even that funny, but my brain says "let's run out of oxygen on this one".
