In Case You’re Having A Bad Day, Here Are 35 Hilarious Memes Shared By “Meme Lord” Instagram Account
If laughter is the best medicine, then memes are over-the-counter medication, available everywhere on the internet. There are also so many different types of memes about pretty much any topic or from a certain community that you’re bound to find something for you.
Today, we’re sharing memes that will probably be at least a little relatable to everyone, shared by the aptly named IG page Memelord.
With the scene set, let's talk about memes.

Have you ever thought about what memes are, anyway? That word is used so often, in “did you see that meme I sent you?” and “I love these kinds of memes”, that we don’t really think about its origin anymore.
For example, the word ‘chair’ - what makes a chair a chair?
Well, it turns out that word may come from the 12th-13th century, referring to a bishop’s throne, which in turn, stems from the latin ‘cathedra’, meaning ‘seat’.
So what is a meme?
The memes we talk about nowadays are from the internet - internet memes. Regular memes are defined on Wikipedia as “an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.”
According to the “explain like I’m five” Reddit community, memes are units of culture - ideas, jokes, phrases, stories.
Memes have a curious trait - they’re like genes - the successful ones replicate, remain in the public consciousness and spread, while the bad ones drop away and are forgotten.
Retention and transmission therefore are very important to these “meme genes.” They need to stay in people’s consciousness, as the more a certain meme is used, the longer its lifespan becomes.
But they also need to be transmitted to other people so they can ‘infect’ even more people, stay in the public consciousness longer, hopefully be transmitted again, and so on.
What’s really interesting is that the definition of internet memes or memes in general is a meme itself now. What I mean by this is that we’ve transformed the definition of “meme” and now use it to refer to pictures with slight variations in them or a banner of text above them.
So this idea, as mentioned previously, is engrained in the public consciousness so deeply now that it has mutated the original definition - memes are not units of culture, but rather funny pictures to us.
Since people wear ties at the base of the neck and not the chin level, I'd say 2.
Spiderbat was a failed Super Hero because he kept flying into his own web.
One of the first widespread memes was “Kilroy was here,” a little graffiti doodle with the same tagline. It rose in popularity during World War II and can still be encountered in the wild from time to time.
If you were to think about it, are there memes that have stuck with you since your youth till now? Consider the “shut up and take my money” meme, which isn’t hugely popular nowadays, but can still be found as a common expression. Or that image of the guy with his girlfriend, leering at another girl and making his girl jealous - did you know that image has been around since 2017? That’s like, 6 years now, I hope I made you feel old.
I was lucky enough to get a. Partner last year and I have never been happier so if you are in a toxic relationship there is no way out (in my experience) so I know it's a cliche but there are more fish in the sea!
If Jesus wasn't crucified, he still would have died young due to poor nutritional choices.

Otterbox case. I’ve hucked my phone across the room accidentally because I forgot it was in my hand, and I’ve never so much as cracked it XD Those Otterbox cases are srs bsns. P.S. treating one brand of phone-user as inferior to another brand of phone-user is idiotic. It’s approaching bigot-levels of cruelty and insult in some of the recent comments I’ve seen on a few BP posts lately. How about we don’t hate someone else just because they use a different brand of PHONE than you do?
I somehow managed to crack the corner of my otterbox case. I don't know how, but at least my phone is still in perfect condition

I had the iPhone 1 and then the 3gs. If I counted how many times I had to fix my screens I'd lose count. Back then for 17 you could do it yourself. I went broke. Then I got android out of frustration. How many times has my Andy screen broke? 0
As someone who worked tech support for a major phone service provider, I would NEVER get an iPhone. Basically Zero tech support if you don't have access to an Apple store, they break if you look at them wrong, and WAY too easy to get locked out of your own account. I have neurological issues and have dropped my Galaxy 100s of times, including multiple times down concrete steps/stairs, and not only is it still working great, the screen isn't even SCRATCHED. 4 years and going.
My iPhone is six years and going. Fantastic support, and it can take pretty much anything. I don’t know what you’re doing to your phones.

I paid less for my car than people pay for these overpriced phones!!
Samsung here, and I actually wish I had iPhone because the system on my phone takes up 90% of space every time....
Obviously something is wrong there. Why wish for another phone instead of just getting the phone you like to work properly. No one else is having that problem.

Lol I'm a teenage girl and have managed to keep my iphone uncracked. Can't say the same for my classmates though
I prefer android cause I can listen to music while it's charging. My screen protector is still a bit cracked but that's just because of who I am as a person
My son inherited my tendency to keep things until they are 100% nonfunctional. I think he's even worse than I am because a couple of phones ago, he was literally carrying it around in a sealed ziplock bag to keep all the pieces together. Somehow it still worked.
My friend dropped her tablet in the sidewalk a few years back and the whole in tire right corner’s glass thing just shattered
That looks very much like the screen of my teenaged son's phone when he forgot to take it out of his pocket before SkATEBOARDING.
my parents took my phone and gave me a NOKIA helpfctvghbjnhbugvyfctdfvgh
I can’t figure out what they’re doing to their phones! None of mine EVER shattered, doesn’t matter how many times I drop them. They’re tanks, man, they just keep on going.
And then argue about how they don't like using a case because it makes their phone "too thick!"
i am just adding a comment because the last comment was fuckwittery..trust me
"Okay, stop me if you've heard this one" ( but they never stop).
My mom learned to forge my grandma’s signature at, like, ten, and since they have the same initials, now they both have the same signature.
So on Valentine's Day, he plans to knock someone unconscious in order to get a date?
