50 Funny Memes From ‘Sarcasm Daily’ That Might Help You Forget Your To-Do List (New Pics)
If a co-worker stops me at the coffee machine and asks how I’m doing, there’s a brief moment where I have to decide how deep my response should be, depending on how well we know each other. Then I follow up with a few sentences I try to make at least somewhat entertaining, so they’re rewarded for taking an interest in me—regardless of how genuine it is.
But online, things are much easier. If someone texts you, there’s no need for eye contact or even words! You can just send a meme and save the effort you’d put into yapping, because chances are, someone has already experienced what you're going through and has illustrated it with a spot-on picture/caption combo.
The Instagram account Sarcasm Daily is full of these funny, relatable memes, and scrolling through its feed is almost therapeutic. It's a reminder that we’re not crazy and that we have a lot more in common than we might think.

And they're the ones getting k****d when they break a leg while doing the difficult tricks they're being forced to make. The jockeys don't run the risk of getting k****d when they make a mistake, so what do they deserve a medal for?
I believe the horses receive the medal when it comes to horseraces. When it is showjumping, both horse and rider, as a team.

Destination? The afterlife! And rest assured that it'll be quickly if that plane is a Boeing!
Memes can help us not just in everyday life but also during challenging times. For example, during the coronavirus pandemic, Jessica Gall Myrick, a communications professor at Pennsylvania State University, along with two other researchers, surveyed more than 700 people to see whether consuming lighthearted memes eased their minds in the face of great uncertainty.
Their study, published by the American Psychological Association, concluded that it did. Respondents reported that viewing funny or cute memes helped lower their stress levels and made them feel more confident in their ability to face the global health crisis.
Yup...not enough urgency or not enough novelty and we are stuck in neutral forever.

"Life is very short! Procrastinating wastes precious seconds which should qualify as a mortal sin."
Load More Replies...Like every single meme that starts with "Nobody" the nobody should not be there just post the rest, you are not special.
"People [were] using memes as a way to cope and talk about life during the pandemic, and to make social commentary," Myrick said.
"Because we're isolated, when you see a meme about covid and it reflects something about our experience, it's really powerful because you don't get to have as much interpersonal interaction with people. There's something about it that helps us relate to other people."
"If you're going through a stressful time, the last thing or most difficult thing is feeling alone in that stress, or feeling as if you’re the only one in that situation," said Rebecca Ortiz, a professor at Syracuse University who has studied the public influence of political memes.
"Memes are built upon the idea of shared cultural references ... It's not only the message that might be calming, it's the sense that this is something that's being shared among people who get it and might be struggling with the same issues," Ortiz added.

Greenland's name was an overt propaganda move by whichever Viking it was, to encourage colonization.
If in doubt just look into the fridge for inspiration. Never worked for me, but I'm sure next time I'll find it there
'Inspiration'. Dang, I *knew* there was something else I was supposed to pick up at the grocery store! So - you keep yours in the fridge?
Load More Replies...There have been times when I was mid-stride and just stopped b/c I forgot what I was going to go do.
Yes!! The doorway effect. Doorways act as perceptual boundaries that cause the brain to update its "event model," essentially flushing out the previous context to process the new environment, leading to a short-term memory lapse. Or something like that...

However, bad actors have also noticed our affinity for memes. Research by Dr. Stephanie Alice Baker, who is a senior lecturer in sociology at City St. George's, University of London and Dr. Michael James Walsh, an associate professor in social sciences at the University of Canberra, shows that memes form part of a highly sophisticated strategy to spread and monetize health disinformation.
Well, the two belligerents will cease hostilities. They will instead unite against the jokester. It's likely to be only a short-lived detente, however.
That's me in any project status meeting. My peers love it, my superiors hate it. And tomorrow, I will repeat
"Memes aren't a recent invention. They have featured prominently in anti-vaccination messaging for centuries," the researchers write.
"When widespread smallpox immunisation began in the early 19th century, political cartoons published in print media used memes ... to evoke fear about the safety of the vaccine."
Oh don’t worry, every day gets the same amount of hate. No favoritism here.
I especially hate Tuesdays and Wednesdays because I actually have to go to the office. Oh good, tomorrow is Tuesday! I can’t wait to wake up super early and take public transportation when I can do the same job at home! Huzzah!

"You are not poor because you have less, but because you want more" Consumerism is probably the word you are looking for?

It's the digital version of when you have to cross someone on the sidewalk and you have to choose whether you cross on the left on the right, and you both end up choosing the same side again and again, creating this weird little dance together.
When a cell phone call gets interrupted, what is the etiquette? Who calls back, the caller or the recipient?
The most infamous anti-vaccination meme, however, emerged from a now discredited 1998 study that falsely linked the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine with autism.
"The meme 'vaccines cause autism,' which appeared on billboards and was circulated widely in the media, provoked doubts about the safety of the vaccine. The study, since described as an 'elaborate fraud,' was published the same year as the launch of Google’s search engine allowing “vaccines cause autism” to became a global meme," the researchers explain.
Over time, the anti-vaccine sentiment became a powerful gateway to promote potentially harmful health products. Baker and Walsh discovered that memes were used to market unauthorized medical products by directing consumers to online stores.
Oh gosh, that's me. I often answer in completely the wrong language if I'm interrupted when I'm in full concentration mode.

Me. I'm afraid it's less about the driver I'm with but all the idiots on the road. Had a near-miss on Friday due to a fool thinking he could overtake on a junction (illegal and dangerous). Had a couple of serious accidents (not my fault) and it left me much more aware of how easily it goes wrong.
Load More Replies...My mom put me behind the wheel in a manual transmission in a hilly and snowy grave yard. I did drivers ed but nothing prepared me for that. I can safely say, nobody was k****d or injured, except my trust in my mother.
Load More Replies...She's probably pushing down on the floorboard 'brake,' too. (I always did.)
Countries use them for propaganda too. “Russia has weaponised memes as part of a broader strategy of offensive information warfare - using troll farms, state-controlled media, and AI-generated content to spread false and misleading information as part of their strategy to sow confusion,” explains Dr. Tine Munk, lead researcher and Senior Lecturer in Criminology at NTU’s School of Social Sciences.
So it's important to stay mindful of the content we consume online.
Last one I got made zero sense. "The rubberbands are all running in the same direction." What the hell? LOL!
I love how most athletes after winning say "I'm going to Disneyland", Simone says "I'm getting a b**b job"!

I always propose to get rid of the bed because I sleep great on my sofa. Sofa has TV, couch table with snacks,...

Serious question. Why is this hard for people? I have chronic health issues and I see a lot of doctors so I can't relate to this.
Same. I'm used to going to the doctor a lot. This is probably weird but I thought it was fun to sign the medical consent form myself once I turned 18.
