It's probably impossible to find a person who uses the internet and hasn't chuckled at a meme at least once during their lifetime. And that's normal – memes have become an important part of our culture, or at least internet culture.
Memes can be funny, relatable, heartwarming... There are so many types of them, anyone can find something they like.
Yet, sometimes all we want isn't some specified theme, just a batch of memes to take our minds off other stuff and laugh a bit. That's where today's memes come in – they're random and amusing for sure. So, let's dive into them, shall we?

Making something beautiful, even if temporary, is never a waste of time.
These were actually done by a female professional sand builder. https://www.today.com/life/professional-sandcastle-builder-janel-hawkins-rcna146476 This image was just stolen by a bot account that added the controversial text.
Girlfriend has poor taste in sand sculptures. He, on the other hand, is clearly a man of culture 👌
Obviously she’s never watched SpongeBob and it’s showing
LOL my adorable older lady neighbour who brings me canned peaches is named “Mila’s mom” in my phone. Mila is her cat. At this point we’ve known each other so long that it would be awkward if I asked what her name is, considering she knows mine 😂
Load More Replies...My MOTHER did this to a neighbour. I can't even remember the name... she, for some reason thought his name was, like, "Brad" or something... and she'd wave, say hello... SHOUT HELLO across the street... "HELLO BRAD!"... **years** later, she finds out that's not his name. It's not his dog's name... my mother apparently pulled the name out of her a$$.
In "What's Up, Doc?" Barbra Streisand's character called Ryan O'Neal's character Steve when he was really Howard, and it worked out
My first thought was “Steve" is an odd name for a dog. Then I remembered I had a horse named Steven.
Same with my classmate Martin, I called him whole highschool by some really awkward name he had nothing similar ... And for a reunion I yelled "OMg *that awkward incorrect name" you are here, I've haven't seen you for ages... "
I've been calling my next-door neighbor "Ron" for years. I just found out his name is "Jed".
LOL!!!! My name Storm. My dogs name was Bryn (kind of a Welsh Brian) When my hubby was over in the UK for work, the guys at the office thought he was gay, and Bryn was his hubby, and Storm was the dog! :-D
All he needed was a waffle in hand, then it would have been: "LEtsGO Eggo!"

It was busy years for you. Want more such little job ?

Load More Replies...Does it work ? Please tell me it works, if it does, I'm stealing me some LEGOs from the toy box
If you came to this article, you know what a meme is. But do you know how to define it? Well, Encyclopedia Britannica writes that it is a part of cultural information spread by imitation. Doesn’t reflect how we typically understand it, does it? The New York Times has a tad better definition: a piece of media whose purpose is to deliver a cultural, social, or political idea, usually through humor.
One of the first viral memes happened all the way back in 1996. “Dancing Baby” or “Baby Cha-Cha-Cha,” a 3D animation of a baby dancing, hence the name, became a sensation in the late 1990s. Some say that this exact meme shifted the way internet users started engaging with online content.
See, this is what happens when you promise a massive tip in advance.
"It was just a joke officer... Are you... did you write that down as well?" "Yes" "And that?" "Yes" "And that?" "Yes"

Load More Replies...Oh you're just trying to cause a wreck and get somebody hurt or killed
Sonds like me sometimes looking for my glasses when they are on the top of my head, looking all over the house, can't see clear without them.
Speaking of internet users, Bored Panda got in touch with one of them, named Gerda, who agreed to share some of her thoughts about the topic of memes.
She confessed that while spending time online, she sees memes quite often. It could be because she follows some pages that either create or post memes. Or maybe memes have simply become an irreplaceable part of the internet culture. They tend to reflect current events and pop culture. This makes them a great way of discussing either lighthearted or serious topics in a relatable and captivating way.
DUnun, DUnun, dundun dundun dundun dundun dundun dundun dundun dundun, DununUUUU, DUNdundundun DUNdundundun
Load More Replies...I had a cat named Mister. He was a good boy in the backyard so I used to let him out there with me sometimes. He once started wandering a bit far away so I authoritatively said, “Mister… Mister!”. My next door neighbor looked at me very confused because he didn’t know what he was doing wrong.
I don't know but I really like those mustard colored shoes.
Load More Replies...While in the service, me and several shipmates would play frisbee in an empty parking lot at 2 am. Cops came by, but never stopped.
Some of my best times with friends were unplanned. Going on a road trip and eating in the car, or stopping at some hole in the wall local place wherever we were. Best times.
Gerda also said that “Relatable feelings can be communicated through memes in a way that many understand.” After all, some say that humor is a universal language, right?
Serious ideas can be expressed through memes as well. In fact, there have been many times when they have been used as a political tool. The most current major example is Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. When British singer Charli XCX tweeted that “Kamala IS brat,” the Harris campaign’s official Twitter page didn’t wait long before changing their backdrop to symbolize brat green.
Wow - you've won carring. Now would be a good time to step out of your car and seek shelter behind a block wall or other heavy object.
Don't be concerned when the mechanic hides behind his tow truck and starts praying. That's normal.
Load More Replies...Can not fathom what the flower symbol is trying to tell you.
Just kick back and wait for the GAME OVER-NEW HIGH SCORE light to come on
But it’s the dog calling YOU a “son of a bïtch”
Load More Replies...For context, “Brat” is a dance and electronic pop album by the mentioned singer. The green color used for the album's cover became its signature color, and the album name became a synonym for accepting imperfections and owning your authentic self. The album took the music world and internet by storm, becoming a relatable and even politically usable meme.
Gerda agrees that memes are an irreplaceable part of internet culture. In her opinion memes are the things that drastically shape the way the internet is. “Without them, it wouldn’t be the same.”
I got my first girlfriend when I asked her if she could start the necklace I was making for her in 5th grade!
My father used to referee tournament basketball games, and I would consistently make whistle lanyards for him. Totally forgot about this until I saw the picture.. I wonder if I could do it again?
I'm happy to hear they're still around after decades!
Load More Replies...I'd always start them for my friends. Now I want to go make a gimp keychain.
Lol i was the one who needed to start these for others. Was fun, wondering if i still have those plastic thingies in the basement somewhere
All my toys were psssed to my younger brother (10 years difference). He destroyed all of them. The sad thing is some of those toys now could be valuable to collectors...
My dad gave me some trains he got in 1946. I replaced missing parts, painted them, made them like new. I built some pretty cool car models for him. He let toddlers destroy them
This hardly the same thing, but my ex’s brother and the guy’s four year old daughter came over once when I was at work. She saw my Lego spaceship and wanted to play with it. I was so fúcking píssed because of course I found it in pieces.
Load More Replies...That's why i prefer donating to strangers. So that I don't have to see the fate of my stuff
My stepmom took my most beloved books and gave to her own daughter as I had outgrown them, she said. I was fourteen, and 1) I still re-read them, 2) they were gifts and/or heirlooms from my relatives and 3) they were _mine_! If she had asked if her princess could borrow them, sure thing! But right out stealing them was just horrible (and I am still clinging to my book hoard even today)
She also noted that memes, or more specifically their formats, tend to have different lifespans. While some, like Drake from the “Hotline Bling” music video or the car scene from “Umbrella Academy,” are still used years after their creation, others live way shorter. Yet, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t important for the overall internet culture.
As the answers on this Quora thread suggest, memes are here to stay. This brings us to the meme account on Instagram that’s currently called “Lasting Meme.” While we cannot guarantee how long the memes shared on this page will last, we can guarantee that they’re funny. And sometimes that’s all we want from a meme, isn’t it?

One of jakuza members, they bathe together in Japan
Load More Replies...I had a cat that did that. We let the 3 of them outside to see what they would do. One of them wouldn't take her back paw out of the house. She stretched out to look around, but that paw stayed safely in the house. The other two explored the shrubs and pine straw. Don't worry, my daughters were with them the whole time.
Love it or List It. I could binge those episodes for days and still feel like I've accomplished something great.
Load More Replies...I don't watch them anymore, especially since they stop rinsing while the water is still brown. and above all, why not do the rinsing on a grid, they just move the dirt from side to side
She only did it so she'll never be asked to babysit again! Great strategy.
You get there and it doesn't look like that at all. Classic bait and switch
I did it a few years ago (when I was about 40-42.) A man looking like a real, old-fashioned village idiot tried to befriend me. I directed him to my mother to ask for her permission. My maneuver succeded.
The sniper is holding the ketchup silly.
Load More Replies...I shared this with my husband a few days ago with the low breath utterance of "I want to shake you" because he does this all the time, and once he saw he said "yeah, I wouldn't blame you, this is so true. Sorry wife!" 😅 ETA: no husbands were shaken in the making of this comment.
I call BS on the ketchup - unless it's behind a gallon of milk. You can't let the milk win
Glad ketchup is still practicing social distancing (edit, spelling)
Ah, life with astigmatism and myopia... One night I walked to buy something and I was stuck and couldn't cross a street because I couldn't see anything but lights, everywhere.
I did not learn until the age of 37 that no, everyone does not see lights like this.
I have astigmatism too. It’s like eternally driving in the rain. I finally had to buy glasses that go over my regular glasses and block the glare. Not expensive and work pretty well. They also help when some a*****e doesn’t turn their brights down when they’re facing you, or right behind you with their brighter than the f*****g sun headlights bouncing off your rearview and side mirrors.
I reangle my side mirrors to reflect their headlights back to them. Amazing how fast they either back off or turn the brights off.
Load More Replies...I was driving a friend once when it was foggy and she was "Slow down! How can you see anything?" I told her this is what I see all the time when I drive, foggy or not.
I generally see starbursts but sometimes diagonals. I remember mentioning as a kid that some lights in a parking lot looked like 'stars' or something and doodling (it was nighttime), thinking of course everyone saw this...they did not.
Load More Replies...You are lucky. I'd give anything to be farsighted. As it is, I can barely see my feet without my glasses. Yet I can read tiny print holding the card up to my nose. All this with astigmatism also.
Load More Replies...Once I was helping my husband pick up sticks and put them in a wheelbarrow. One knocked my glasses off while I was standing over the wheelbarrow and I played Velma from Scooby Doo for a while.
I play on these when I see them. I'm not quite 60 yet, so I don't think I'm too old.
That's cool af! Why have I never seen one of these before? It's not fair 😡
I... Oh god. I'm so sorry that you never got to experience this.
Load More Replies...I saw a grown a*s grandpa alone at the playground playing on one of these
Is that a criticism? Read Karl's and RabidChild's comments. #NeverTooOld
Load More Replies...I’ve never seen one of those before but I would have loved that as a lil kid
I have adhd and I forget people. I also say hello to people I don't know. I once said hello to a lady whose name I couldn't remember. It was in Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge. It was Queen Sophia. (In those days, no bodyguard.)
If I see someone I know in an area I don't expect to see them in I blank them.
Load More Replies...I have aphastia, multi sénsory aphantasia so I don't know your face or voice if I wasn't expecting you or you're out of context. It's really sad as I can't see or hear my late mother at all 😔
I have normal eyesight, yet sometimes people come to me to ask why I didn't say hallo. I am not sure they believe that I didn't see them because my thoughts were somewhere else, but that is the truth.
It runs in the family. My father is said to have once walked past my mother in the street. The mother of his four children. She never let him forget it! But I do it , even with my glasses on. But why do people walk around without their glasses on??
The prescription is out of date and we are broke? I'd love to be able to see better. I miss the stars
Load More Replies...I just can't remember faces. I know who the face is when I meet the face at the right location though. Face at supermarket - never seen before. Same face at work - hey Ann, how was your week-end?
🎶 and you may find yourself, getting in a lovers, spat/and you may find yourself, getting Apple Pay from your girl🎶… and you may ask yourself, “oh, God, what have I done?“🎶
If your girlfriend has to pay to get your attention you have certainly got the better deal.
I hope that the girlfriend is making a joke, bc I really dislike the culture of constantly suspecting your partner of cheating. his response was cute
They changed the theme to love right after that message. Someone's got moves.
I'd prefer this. Just before I started grade 6, they took out the grade 6 playground, with really tall monkey bars and old school climbing frame, and replaced it with a prep (kindergarten) playground. Grade 6s had to play on another smaller playground (also new) with the 3-5s.
Grade 7 was my last year in elementary school, and they totally changed the playground the summer I left. I feel bad for the kids who didn’t get the old (more dangerous but much more fun) playground lol
Load More Replies...This happened to me! I spent my entire time at junior school in a cold in winter/sweltering in summer cabin that leaked when it rained only to be greeted by a brand new building for the juniors on the final day of my attendance. I left to go to high school before I could even use it.
My elementary school got a new playground and new gym and new computers for the computer class
I thought the pic would be too close to home for you? 🙃 /jk

I would have to rent a bucket truck so I could get right up next to it and yell "Luuuuuuke, I am your faaaaatha"
I live in southern Alberta where we have that kind of wind... it's like getting your face sandblasted with random debris.
We used to have to sit in the car while our mother went shopping. I would start fights just to cut the boredom, and my brother was older and would just cream me. It taught me that it is more enjoyable to be beaten bloody than to sit and wait for somebody.
I was working one evening several years ago. My daughters were at home, more than old enough to be left alone for a few hours. 16, 14, and 10. My oldest and youngest had a barroom brawl at the same time that my crazy a*s next door neighbour had her CPS worker visit. Got called home from work. I was not happy
Anyone else have whisper fighting with their siblings as a kid? Full on brawl but almost silent so parents don't hear
No, because I’m six years older than my brother. He would instigate things and then hide behind mother when I retaliated.
Load More Replies...Do NONE of you actually read books? Even back in the 70s we had books: do none of you read? Thank god I never met most of you, you sound horrendous and probably spent most of your time tied to trees or something. . . . . .you've HEARD of books, right? What a pack of brainless ferals . . .
I’m trying so hard not to write what I want to reply…
Load More Replies...Hope it was ice cream or something else yummy. (the picture, not the screen.) :)
I'm more concerned with whatever that black thing is inside the drink
Does it count as more fun if the urgent care is involved? Sometimes you just can't rub dirt in it and carry on.
Load More Replies...See now, this is what "boys will be boys" is really supposed to mean.
My teenage son came home with a broken nose from a church youth group pool party. He said he got hit by a cooler. I asked how, and he looked at ME like I was the crazy one, and said it was because they were throwing around a cooler in the pool. I’m the type of boy mom who has learned to not ask “why” anymore…..
I can remember making a five-level stack of furniture dollies, then trying to balance on it. My coworker was hoping to get into the Olympics, and we almost broke him.
OHHHH FUCKK THIS ONE IT SUCKED SOOO BADDDD I had to do the balloon one alottt
Really - an eye test? Thought it might be your target as seen through a sniper scope...
Used to see the house, but they changed it a couple years ago. Never seen the balloon.
I've seen the balloon in NZ at the local Specsavers, and the house one in India. Either way, I don't consider myself lucky to have seen them :/
it's part of the first map in the game Among Us. it's a great place for killing (in-game) cus in some situations lots of people gathered in this room, so the killer can easily murder people without being noticed. hence it being scary
