Context is a crutch. Most of the time, knowing the backstory, the source, the original post, and the thread that preceded it adds something to a meme. But on the rare occasion, context would actively ruin it. In the space between what you are looking at and any reasonable explanation for its existence, the joke comes alive.

The @isitworthitmemes page has built an audience on exactly this premise: memes so completely unmoored from any traceable origin that adding an explanation would be the comedic equivalent of describing a punchline before delivering it. You won't find a "this started because someone posted a photo of their uncle's garage in 2019" preface. Leave your context at the door, please; we are about to get random and rowdy.

    This past June I walked onto my porch and there was a bag of Chinese food there. I checked around with my immediate neighbors, waited a bit, but the food went unclaimed. Ever since they I pray to the porch food God's when I outside. That was a good day! For me anyway.
