If there is one thing that netizens don’t seem to get bored of, it’s memes. Coming in all shapes and sizes and covering nearly everything from A to Z, they add up to quite a big chunk of the content on the internet and are a focal point of many social media accounts.
Today, we want to shed light on one of them, the ‘nowthatsfunny1_’ Instagram account, boasting an abundance of random funny memes and a fan base of more than 132k followers. If you’re curious about what said account has in store, scroll down to find some of their best memes on the list below. And, while scrolling, you know what to do – make sure to upvote your favorites!
On the list below, you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with Dr. Lynn Zubernis, a licensed clinical psychologist and the Program Coordinator for the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program at West Chester University, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions about the role online communities play in people’s lives nowadays.

I pick my phone up, and.... I Hang up turn to moms body and yell at it "DAMN IT MOM, I KNOW YOUR DEAD, CALL MY BROTHER OR SIS CAUSE I ALREADY KNOW!"

Dark humor helps. When my dad died, mom's birthday lunch (88 yrs.) had been reserved for the next day. She said we should all still go out so my sisters and I, 2 husbands (1 official & 1 quasi-official) and several grandkids all went out for a very fancy lunch. When time came to pay, mom and my oldest sister, the accountant, were trying to decide which credit card of mom & dad's to use and mom said "we'll use (dad's name) card. If he can't make it to my birthday lunch then the least he can do is pay for it". We all stared at her and then started laughing hysterically because we all knew that if dad had been there, he'd have been laughing the loudest at her comment.

The coffin ejector seat needs a little more work done I'm sorry to say.
Started back in 2017, ‘nowthatsfunny1_’ is now a community of over 130k like-minded people, seemingly united by a love of funny memes. But that is just one of the countless groups and pages dedicated to one topic or another, showing how important it is for people to belong to a group of like-minded individuals, even if over distance.
While talking about the significance of online communities, Dr. Lynn Zubernis noted that people are naturally motivated to form communities. “In an evolutionary sense, if a human was not part of a community and was isolated, that usually meant being eaten by something. So we retain a strong need for a sense of belongingness,” she told Bored Panda in a recent interview.

“In today's fragmented society, finding a group to join is not always easy,” Dr. Zubernis continued. “Neighbors may not know each other, or may have little in common. Families may be geographically spread out. That leads people to look for community elsewhere, and having a shared interest or passion makes finding an appropriate group easier. That's why fandoms are often important communities for people, because it gives strangers an immediate bond of something in common, and they can build a relationship—either virtually or in person—from there.”

When it comes to overpacked napkin dispensers, we have no choice. Workers overpack them so they don't have to repeat this task throughout their shift, but it doesn't work because they end up on the tables and floor, so the dispenser needs to be refilled. Just do it right, for everyone's sake.

They should have explained automaticity. You end to go on " autopilot" and will only reach for or grab items you have to use at that location like a purse. Most kids inadvertently left in cars end up there because of a break in routine. The person who has them that day isn't the one who would normally have the kid at that time. Combine that with sleep deprivation and automaticity and bingo kid gets left. So if you are suddenly on drop off etc some kind of cue may be needed to break through " autopilot"

Unfortunately many new parents are so sleep deprived that they drive directly to work on autopilot instead of driving past the daycare centre first and simply forget that they haven't dropped the kid of yet. Or they are so tired that they forgot that today they were bringing the baby to daycare instead of their spouse and don't realize the baby is in the car because their brain just switched to their standard routine.

My car remembers that a back door was opened every trip. I get 8 peeps if I forget to open and close the door. I have still forgotten "something important" many times.
Aidan Pite 1 year ago
I think a statistic I read is that most times children are forgotten is because of a change in routine, like if the mom always drops the kid off at daycare but one day the dad has to do it and then while driving autopilot takes over and he just goes to work... so think of it less as 'put something important in the backseat' and more 'always put something in the backseat that you have to retrieve every single day to ingrain it into your daily habit to always check the backseat'.
According to Dr. Zubernis, we need social support and connection to be healthy. “Social and emotional connectivity is one of the most powerful weapons against stress, loneliness and depression – particularly important in a time when loneliness has been called an 'epidemic'.
“Having a support network is associated with greater resilience and lower chance of developing post traumatic stress symptoms after a negative life event. In fact, the World Health Organization recommends improving social connectedness as a public health strategy to reduce rates of suicide.
“The more socially connected we are, the more likely we are to be happy,” the expert added. “Being part of a community is even associated with increased longevity. So, we're highly motivated to form communities.”

According to Dr. Zubernis, online communities function in similar ways to in-person ones; netizens form virtual communities for reasons ranging from entertainment and finding friends to searching for a place to belong.
“They can form around anything that people enjoy or are interested in – a sports team, a TV show, a breed of dogs, a Youtuber, a celebrity, and so on. When we're passionate about something, we naturally want to find others who share that passion – it's often described as finding like-minded people who are the only ones who ‘get it’. That's a good feeling, a way of feeling validated in our own proclivities,” the clinical psychologist explained.

And some chucklehead with a perverse sense of humor once said, There are no dumb questions.
Discussing how the internet has shaped interactions, Dr. Lynn Zubernis noted that there have been both positive and negative influences. “The positives include making finding a ‘place to belong’ easier, without geographical proximity required, so the scope of possible others is vastly widened. People might initially reach out to others based on a shared affinity, but the hyperconnected networks they build end up being useful not just to share that passion but to connect to others and form personal relationships that can be long lasting and life changing.
“On the other hand, the perceived anonymity of the internet can facilitate people who are already prone to bullying doing just that, and doing it more effectively and efficiently thanks to social media's algorithms and the ease with which one can hide behind an avatar. In my experience, many people who join virtual communities also seek out some of those individuals in person, coming together for concerts or conventions or other kinds of meet-ups.”

For many of us with husbands who have the flu, euthanasia has always been an option we have considered. Just TBH.....
“The fact that online communities are groups means that basic group dynamic theory also applies, and sometimes that can also be a negative,” Dr. Zubernis added. “In-group/out-group behavior is part of all groups, including virtual communities. Identifying an out-group and vilifying those people serves to shore up group identity and self esteem, increasing cohesion in the in-group. It also means that the internet is full of group A attacking group B in every possible permutation.”

You know how parents can pass their fears onto their kids? Well, my mother was petrified of spiders, I mean hysterical-level fear. So, of course, I developed the same fear. Until one day I was taking a shortcut through a tunnel on campus someone told me would really save time between campuses. Got about a 1/3 of the way before I noticed it had an awful lot of spiders. Like something you'd see in a Nat Geo special. When I got through that tunnel, my fear of spiders was gone, and I've actually grown fond of them.

I love spiders. Granted, I live in a country where the spiders can't kill you. I'm always kind of spiders actually, now that I think about it, one of my favorite books when I was a very little kid was literally called "be nice to spiders". It was about a guy who worked in a zoo and he was mad that the cages had so many cobwebs so he went on a spider eradicating bent, but then there was a million flies, and he realized that the spiders were keeping the flies away, so after that he didn't go after spiders anymore and everybody was happier in the end.

My best friend and I were about 14 yrs old and laying in her living room watching TV. She freaks out and throws her blanket off, there was a giant hobo spider on it. We are both unreasonably arachnophobic so we stand on the couches screaming as the thing runs behind the TV. We decide we can't relax in that room anymore so we move to her mom's bedroom and lay on the bed and put our movie back on. A few mins later the spider runs into the bedroom after us, we both freak out and stand on the bed screaming. The thing stops at the foot of the bed with it's front legs in the air like it was trying to fight us. After about 10 mins of screaming and throwing things at it we finally hit it with a candle. They call hobo spiders the aggressive spider for a reason.

When I realized I had gone off into a field, I was afraid to stop until I found the road again, or we'd all probably have frozen to death." Grandpa had been so focused on not losing his only guide, he'd never even noticed that had happened.

No doubt apocryphal, but there's an old story about two guys who were trying to follow the road in very bad fog. They were both poking along at just 20 mph, leaning out their open driver's doors looking at the double yellow line. Everything went fine until they met each other and had their respective doors slammed shut by the other guy's door.

There is a time when you just pull over at a bar and Grill, eat dinner, drink lots, and pass out.

Grew up in the middle of nowhere on a gravel road that was the last to get plowed by the county. Am I in a field or on the road? I don't know, just gas it and hope for the best. At least you learn how to navigate bad road conditions.

I'm 5'11". The last time I flew, I could literally not sit straight, because my knees dug into the seat in front of me. I had to sit sideways. I have no idea how people over 6' can fly...it should be illegal...it most certainly isn't safe.

My idiot boss booked my flights and the return flight from Chicago (I would have rather drove) had me between two tiny young men who obviously hoped no one would be in the middle seat. I was 5’ 8” 165 pounds so not fat just tall and curvy. Omg a Smart car is more roomy. They made me so uncomfortable and it was my first trip by myself and in a storm so I was nervous. I will never fly unless it’s an emergency or free which is unlikely.

PSA: progress is never linear. But think about it; if airlines still operated this way, how many of you do you think could even afford to fly? I imagine flights would cost around twice as much as they do now if there were more room and they served meals.

Nobody talks about the fact that the golden age of air travel was enjoyed by the 1%. The people in the pictures then, are on private jets now. Economically, it is lightyears better. We are so spoiled. And logistically, you sit in a 3 story building that somehow leaves the ground, goes 550 mph and you end up in destinations that not 100 years ago may have taken weeks to get to, under varying degrees of physical threat, sometimes extreme. FFS get over the "rigor" of air travel. The cheapest/for safest, most democratizing, world-altering, form of transportation ever invented.

I don't... I just say "tuna sandwich" or "tuna and cucumber". Maybe it's an American thing. They do like to clarify stuff like "English muffin".

We call them English muffins in Australia too, we have to distinguish them from sweet muffins. I tried putting just 'muffin pizzas' on the afternoon tea menu for work (after school care) and got some weird looks.

Originates from the 1900's, when Tuna was a rather exotic and little known fish in most markets, even though the meat was cheap to come by even then. So, when offered a Tuna sandwich, the average person then wouldn't know what it was; so adding "fish" to the name helped people understand.
