35 Zoom Memes Shared On This Online Group With Almost A Million Members (New Posts)
InterviewRemember the days when we all were in self-isolation, working, studying, eating, sleeping and spending leisure time in the comfort of our home? That all-too-familiar comfort soon turned into cabin fever, and Zoom became this surreal substitute for real human communication.
Fast forward to today, and there’s still a lot reminiscent of these times – from people rethinking their values to employees switching to remote and hybrid work models. The memes of that time are also not going anywhere, like this Facebook group “Zoom Memes for Self Quaranteens.”
Launched on March 12, 2020, the group started as hilarious source of memes and today it’s home to a solid 958.4K members. We wrapped up some new memes from the page that anyone who’s currently under a burden (and a blessing in some other way) of work or studying will relate to. Psst! More Zoom memes can be found in part 1.
Bored Panda also spoke with Dr. Gleb Tsipursky, the best-selling author of Leading Hybrid and Remote Teams: A Manual on Benchmarking to Best Practices for Competitive Advantage (Intentional Insights, 2021) and CEO of Disaster Avoidance Experts about ways the worldwide pandemic transformed how people work, as well as the benefits of remote work for employees.

Sometimes just making it to school is an accomplishment. There are homeless kids, abused kids, mentally challenged kids, lazy kids. Some can perform regardless of their environment, some can't.
I know it’s just a joke, but the kid voted most popular had less to overcome than the kid (informally) voted most lonely
To quote Albert Einstein.. "The only difference between genius and stupidity, is that genius has its limits." That speech would be effing epic!!!
I disagree I did not want to give a speech. It would of blown my strategy of not being noticed.
YES! Graduation ceremonies would me much more entertaining that way!
Ya know, just because you didn't get great grades in school doesn't mean that you are stupid. Einstein dropped out of school at age 15. Not that I'm promoting this 😅
Dr. Gleb Tsipursky explained that prior to the pandemic, the habits and mental models of work centered around a physical space belonging to their employer. “However, during the pandemic, the 56% of all workers who could do their job from home changed their habits and mental models of work to focus on the tasks they did, not where they did these tasks,” Dr. Tsipursky said.
According to the CEO of Disaster Avoidance Experts, employees learned they can have much more work-life balance, less stress, more happiness, and more time with their family and friends, while still getting all their tasks done.
I still have my book that says if Bob buys 200 potatoes and eats 129 how many potatoes does Bob have
Bob is obese with a metabolic disorder. Yes Bob is fat.

Mine wasn't available during COVID for some reason so when we did groceries and I saw it again, I bought one and told the lady that the kids drank it all during Christmas. She looks at me and says "there's a gentleman that just came in and said the exact same story" so I asked if it was someone with a S&P beard "yes" "that's my husband". LOL. I got 2 bottles that night. I was busy with the cashier and he went and bought one while I wasn't looking. salted-Car...8722b0.jpg

The way the women are looking at him is what makes me believe the title
Yeah you can totally read their thoughts. "Not this again", "I can't wait till this is over", "I still can't believe this dumbass got promoted over me".
Load More Replies...I understand this can be a problem but also know women can do this too. I'm a stay at home dad and whenever I'm out with my kids it boils down to comments of baby sitting, giving mom a break and such. Every woman in my life whether they have children or not give me their two cents and explain parenting things to me when I'm quite capable. I've never had another male try to give me advice or correct me. I appreciate the advice and sometimes it's useful. But this is the same thing. We're capable of taking care of children, the house, schoolwork. All of it.
If it makes you feel any better: It's very common in my circle of mum-friends to give advice - I haven't noticed any correcting, but I'd need an example to compare. So what my husband would call annoying because "it's none of their business" is actually kind of normal exchange for me: one mother says her children still don't sleep through at 2 years old, and out come the tips from other mothers; one mother is a bit too late in running around the jungle gym and the one standing next to it gives first mother's toddler a hand in climbing back up... My husband would have an entirely different emotional experience on a playground from mine, just because he has another concept of what's "normal" concern for other people's children. - I do know that it's very common for fathers to be infantilised in many aspects, though. I'm just saying, maybe those women don't think anything of it. Parenting is something in which nobody keeps to themselves, and it's not always bad.

The man in question told me the paint he had just applied to the wall was wet with the words "you do understand this paint is wet right?" To which I replied "oh may is it, I didn't know paint is wet!"
A picture captures a moment in time, not the full event. I’m seeing someone be listened to by their peers. I would assume that before and after the picture was shot others also spoke and were afforded the same courtesy. Maybe I’m just too radical in that I don’t make snap judgements when presented with limited information using preconceptions to fill in the blanks.
You are speaking from the context of being a man, I presume, so you find it to be a positive image. The women commenting here have clearly experienced mansplaining, knows what it looks like and feels like. Different perspectives.

In theory this is actual students. Idk about Adelaide University but mine in Aus always took shots of people around campus with their consent for the ads and brochures. It was never staged or stock because of false advertising here. But idk about this University. Edit: yes they use students, I looked it up. As to the way it was staged, I'm guessing some sexist did it.
Load More Replies...they make these so that prison isn't just a place to put them, it's supposed to reform the prisoners and make them better people by treating them like basic human beings
You should watch some videos on YouTube about Norwegian prisons. They get their own private shower, comfy bed, video games and the inmates have a shared kitchen where they prepare meals and the guards hang and chat with them. And none of the guards carry guns. Wow. That s**t would never work here in the US…especially Texas! Lol
Unlike the US, they actually get reformed and their recidivism rate is practically 0. It's crazy what happens when you treat people like human beings.
Load More Replies...I want 25 to life. It's so tastefully designed. I bet they have underfloor heating too. You'd have to keep committing minor crimes just to stay another 3 months.
If you get life in Denmark, you can expect to be out after 16 years
Load More Replies...These are just the advertisement pictures. Don't buy this scam, the real cells are dark, dirty and haunted by the ghosts of the celtic graves they're built on
Honestly no. I'm from Denmark and these pictures are real. Sadly we see more homeless people every year, the recent economic crisis hasn't made it easier for those with lower income. However, everyone is provided with sufficient funds for living and the homeless are offered shelters and housing. I know of some who declined because they couldn't bring their dog. But then it's their choice, and they are still taken care of. Drug addicts are provided free controlled drugs or substitutes. And of course medical care, like everyone else. It really helps keep crime rates low by giving everyone a chance for a decent life. And yeah, we also have strict gun control so shootings are very rare. Everyone can get an education, no debt. Taxes aren't even that high, we have a high minimum wage. It's called democratic socialism. Because we all chose it democratically and the vast majority are very happy with it. I still struggle to understand why people elsewhere prefer a radically different society.
Load More Replies...Dane here, I can confirm, this is the new Storstrøm prison. The idea is to build the prison of the future, not the past. A lot of old prisons where actual modern when they where built. Also, it's not more expensive to make something look nice, but long term it's cheaper as people will vandalize it less.
Love d decor and d natural light 🙈 never thought id say that about a prison
Thinking we're number 1 and turns out, compared to other 1st world countries we're the feral children living in the woods afraid to leave our caves because it's the only thing we know.
When I lived in the Netherlands, I remember it being a thing that they would rent out prison cells to other countries.
When asked how remote work benefits employees, Dr. Tsipursky said that the large majority found they really like working from home: that's why 87% of workers would want to work remotely for all or a significant portion of their time, if given the chance.
He explained further: “That's because employees benefit immensely from spending time working remotely. They don't have to spend two hours in traffic every day stuck in a commute. They don't have to put on fancy and uncomfortable clothing, such as hard shoes or heels. They don't have to pay for overpriced lunches in downtown restaurants.”
Not me laughing so hard at this, until my toaster popped up. My laugh turned into a scream and that was how I died

Load More Replies...Why would I go to a planetarium to look at a planet I already live on? I'd boo too!
Omg. I'm laughing so hard I woke the cat up so now I'm apologizing and laughing and she's looking at me like I'm nuts.
Instead, Dr. Tsipursky argues, “They can spend much more time with their friends and family. They can have better balance as caretakers of children or elderly, which benefits women especially, since they are still unfortunately the major caretakers in our society.”
Moreover, “remote work is especially desirable for minorities such as African-Americans, since they still face microaggressions and discrimination in the office, as well as for people with disabilities, which is why minorities have a much stronger preference for remote work than white males,” Dr. Tsipursky explained.
The cat was smart. I'm guessing he did "work study" and had another pary-time gig on the graveyard shift to pay for his tuition outright.
Load More Replies...Our very dignified old pastor did this, managed to have a lot of colourful balloons as background for his sermon... 😂😂😂
Better then when my niece decided to create an only fans section of the interview and I made the interviewer feel like a worse parent then I was an uncle soothing my niece from crying while my sister in law put her clothes on
While there are so many benefits that come from remote work, it’s no secret that many companies are still reluctant to implement a fully remote work model. Dr. Tsipursky explained that this is because of cognitive biases, which are mental blind spots that lead to poor decisions.
“Many leaders feel a desire to go back to the world before the pandemic. They fall for status quo bias, a desire to maintain or get back to what they see as the appropriate situation and way of doing things.”
Moreover, “a major factor in leaders wanting everyone to return to the office stems from their personal discomfort with work from home. They spent their career surrounded by other people. They want to resume regularly walking the floors, surrounded by the energy of staff working.”
Do you know what Excel and incels have in common? They both incorrectly assume something is a date. Yep, this joke is old, I show myself out
Months are numbered wrong - Sept was 7th month, Oct was 8th, Nov was 9th, Dec (like decade) was the 10th, until Augustus Caesar inserted Aug and July to honor himself and Uncle Julius.

I love in America. We get no vacation time a year. Lucky if we have any PTO and sick days are taboo and can get you knocked hard on a performance review. Hell last week had to go home, fever of 103°F and I have to sign an attendance paperwork for "company records" on that.
To all the people saying that their jobs have better leave policies: That's very nice for you. I hope you realize how lucky you are. But there are a heck of a lot of people in this country who are not that lucky, and not all of us can just change jobs on a whim and expect to find something better. THAT'S the problem with the US: not that there are NO jobs with good leave, but that there are so many jobs without it and such a godawful job market. (And please do not reply that we could get better jobs if we would just try harder / go back and get a degree / etc. That's also not how it works.) Sorry, I'm not trying to flame you all. It just feel really invalidating to hear someone giving an honest complaint about the working culture in the US and have a bunch of other people be like, "Not ALL jobs!!!" We know. Not all jobs. But too many jobs.
Load More Replies...And your boss finds every teeny tiny itty bitty mistake you ever made while your on vacation and is going ballistic
And the pension is so bad you can barely afford to live after retirement
Struggling with that myself, I get 1 sick day every 3 months, we only observe 6 of the 12 holidays where banks or government are closed and after working for a year I successfully earned a week of vacation time.
Another problem is functional fixedness, Dr. Tsipursky argues. “When we have a certain perception of how systems should work, we ignore other possible functions, uses, and behaviors. We do this even if these new functions, uses, and behaviors offer a better fit for a changed situation and would address our problems better.”
“That's why so many companies are unable to implement effective hybrid work policies and are instead demanding that all employees return to the office,” Dr. Tsipursky concluded.
Wow, this answer made me really think. As it means, that while the girls worried about the grades, how to get the guys to work and probably shouldering the major workload... the guys learned with how much they'd get away with and how to coax other people in doing their job while still getting the fame.🤔
Load More Replies...Uni group projects should be cancelled, I almost failed a class because the other people didn't do s**t
My biology teacher does this. We will be halfway through the class and he will say something along the lines of, “Ok guys, only 42 more slides to go!”
Imagine being the presenter too - seeing 42 more to go hurts as much.
Load More Replies...We had a new VP of IT... She would do this PP smoke and mirrors presentation to justify her hiring more programmers while we needed more techs. She added levels of approval for every little task and moved knowledgeable people to dead end jobs. There were a mass resignation as well. Everytime she spoke many of us thought she is a fake. She ended up leaving after a year announcing she had accomplished everything she came to do (totally making our IT a dysfunctional mess). Rumor had it she was quietly asked to leave because she was an embarrassment to the higher ups.
I had a professor who did this but the slides were for multiple days and a quarter of the stuff was bullets of tips, notes, and some test answers but you only knew this if you did the homework. One class during October anyone who wore pink got 10 percent bonus on their worst test.
Okay, now imagine weeks of Earth Science until everybody could identify a million kinds of rocks. No disrespect to geologists, but that’s not the way to spark on interest
These were the loooooong presentations I had to sit through at work. Large screen and most of the presenters just stood in front of the audience reading all the slides out loud. Why couldn't we just sit at our desks with a cup of coffee and read them ourselves off the computer?
I'm the gingerbread man!!! (sorry, but only 42 days until Christmas!!!!)

I look up a lot of very specific things, and the last several months, Google has stopped answering the question I asked and has started answering the question it THINKS I asked, or the question a lot of OTHER people asked, which is not at ALL the same thing. Drives me nuts.
Amen! And it seems to be getting worse and worse. At some point, the whole thing will become completely worthless.
Load More Replies...Ugh, I HATE these crappy partial answers. In almost every case, it is either NOT what I was searching or just a PART of it, meaning I have to look it up and click links anyways.
Then you Google what you googled a different way thinking Google didn't understand your sophisticated question.
That’s because it’s only our money they want. Corporations couldn’t afford all the government agencies but they can afford to control the head guys like the FCC Chairman Ajit Pai. This happens because the Supreme Court allowed Corporations United, oops, Freudian slip, Citizens United, to spend as much as they wanted and as a result election spending has skyrocketed. This money men are who the politicians listen to. The Supreme Court now enact laws for corporations not the people. This desperately needs to change.

I have a doctorate in literature. I'm still not sure why they taught us algebra, trigonometry, or chemistry. I carried literally nothing useful to me out of those classes. I could definitely have used classes like Emotional Health 101, How to Do Your Taxes, and How the Heck Does Insurance Work.
One reason we're taught math, science, and other subjects (including literature) is so that we can decide which we want to do in a career. Nothing Charles Dickens ever wrote helped me as a mathematician, but education is more than just preparing for a job.

I'm afraid I've added to the collective idea that people who work in hospitality have no life outside of work by using the 'sorry I've been mad busy with work' excuse for years when really I've had plenty of free time but prefer to burrito myself in my duvet and not respond to messages

So when I was little, my older sister wanted to be a school teacher. During summer vacation , she would make up a class room in our basement & make my brother & I play along. I was so bored, I started quoting the Berenstein Bears on my work sheets. My answer to every question was, “Release another bee!! Muwhahaha”. Safe to say, I flunked “summer school”.
bro i was inputting a bunch of names and grades and graduation years and then manually entering all 120 email addresses (based off those things) bc i didn't want to deal with the formula, and then my dad was like NO THIS IWLL BE FASTER and wasted a FULL 30 MINUTES trying to figure out a fkin formula. I completed it manually in literally half that time.
