Nowadays, memes are synonymous with culture. If an alien came down to Earth and wanted to understand our species, one of the best ways to explain to them how humans work would be to present them with a catalogue of relatable memes. Here’s how we feel when we have to go to work in the morning, here’s how it feels when a dog cuddles up next to you, and here’s what it feels like to publicly embarrass yourself.
Memes are an important part of many people’s lives, so if you’re interested in getting your daily dose, you’ve come to the right place, pandas. We took a trip to Movielinesx on Instagram and gathered their most relatable posts below. So enjoy scrolling through these funny images, and be sure to upvote the memes that make you feel seen!

But make sure your second cousin doesn’t block your escape with her car.

My thought exactly. You need to park on the street, down the block, preferably at the corner so they can't block you in.

My mom and sister often press-gang me into going to one of my mother's beloved tribal casinos with them (there's 3 of them within a 2-hour drive of where I live, and my mom goes to one of them pretty much EVERY WEEKEND.) One glorious time I somehow managed to convince my mom and sister to let me drive my own car and I met them there. I was able to leave when I wanted to, rather than being forced to stay for extra days/extra activities. It was glorious. XD

I somehow managed to join the Wampum Club. Either Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun, I forget which. That was 20-ish years ago.

Oh god, this was a must at any family gathering on my Dad's side of the family. After Dad was killed when I was really young, it made our relationship with his side of the family even more complicated. This also applied, because someone would ALWAYS bust out with moonshine or homemade wine, so the LAST thing you wanted was to get boxed in by a bunch of drunk country folk.

I always take my own car, and I give my husband a good excuse to not come at all. No need for us both to suffer! Most of my family are fine but one sister and a BIL (not one married to that sister) are both utter b!tches. He's worst.

When we found out my father had a half-brother that he didn't previously know even existed, the family asked us to visit them and stay over night. The whole evening was a complete s**t show and we were so glad we didn't stay there. We had a hotel room to escape to and a car to get us there.

Or just live somewhere with good public transport so you have plenty of options.

The exact same reason to meet a first date somewhere, do not let him pick you up. A lot safer that way as well.

Or host it, so that you can grant some rights to younger people because you are their uncle (and are thankful to those who did the same for you in the past).

Park down the block, so you can say you are going for a walk, and just jump in your car and leave

Problem is that you end up having to give other people lifts before you can make your own way home

Last weekend I drove 10 hours each way to a family reunion. Nobody asked for a lift.

Home is where you have a good book, a cat, and nobody around to bother you.
At this point in time, you’re probably used to coming across memes every time you open up social media. You might have several sitting in your inbox that your best friends sent, or you might see dozens about current events as you scroll through your feed. I mean, I must have seen at least 50 memes about the CEO who was caught cheating at a Coldplay concert not even 24 hours after it happened.
But have you ever stopped to wonder what exactly a meme is or where the heck they came from? Well, according to Alexis Benveniste at the New York Times, this phenomenon didn’t begin with the internet. She explains that even the word “meme” has been included in the New York Times Crossword dozens of times since the 1940s.
Kirby Conrad, a professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College, explained the concept of a meme as “a self-replicating chunk of information,” such as an inside joke that’s been bouncing around your friend group for years or a jingle that’s been stuck in your head for decades.
“That chunk of information, the joke or the jingle, self-replicates because we humans like to share and repeat stuff,” Conrad told the New York Times. “When we repeat the joke, or sing the jingle, that’s an instance of the meme reproducing itself.” Nowadays, however, we tend to see memes multiply at exponential rates as they spread like wildfire online.

Companionable silence and stillness are rare things nowadays.
It’s sort of beautiful how today’s memes can be shared worldwide in a matter of minutes. What once would have been only local news or spread via word of mouth can go viral overnight. And now, we all know about the teen who was denied entry into the United States for having a meme of JD Vance on his phone, which, of course, inspired hundreds of other memes to be created.
However, like many words, Benveniste notes that the definition of the word meme has transformed over time. But it’s hard to encapsulate all that they are, as they’re much more than just silly images floating around making viewers giggle. They can also be powerful tools in political discussions and protests for human rights. Meanwhile, some say that memes have been extremely beneficial for their mental health, and therapists are even seeing their patients utilize them.

Duygu Balan, LPCC, wrote a piece for Psychology Today breaking down some of the pros and cons of mental health memes. First, the therapist notes that these silly images can help us feel less alone when we bond over shared experiences. They can also help us reframe our thoughts and break stigmas surrounding mental health issues. Plus, they can allow us to build a sense of community amongst those who enjoy similar memes.

I wish I had a human bestie! But I do have this guy, who I TOTALLY still tell all my gossip to! XD (he's a wee bit larger now than he was in this photo, of course, and not so easily picked up, lol...) the_lakoto...f3efe6.jpg 
On the other hand, though, we must be careful that we don’t use mental health memes to trivialize serious conditions. We can also accidentally retraumatize others or ourselves when sharing triggering memes. And viewing your condition through a humorous lens might be tempting, but it can encourage us to avoid issues that we shouldn’t shy away from. Plus, if we’re constantly exposed to jokes about serious topics like mental health issues, we might become desensitized to the actual problems.
To safely use mental health memes, Balan recommends adding a trigger warning any time a sensitive topic will be addressed. It’s also wise to share resources for anyone who might be struggling with the mental health issues referenced in the meme. Be careful not to consume too many of these memes, as it may be healthier for you to seek out uplifting content instead. And if anyone responds negatively to a meme that you share, hear them out and respect their point of view. You never know what they might be going through.

I always put 2 alarms and always end up getting up before the first one. It's the insomnia + anxiety because what if i don't hear the first alarm even though it literally never happened?

My brain sucks so bad when it comes to emotions. If something mildy pisses me off I’ll have to leave the room or I’ll start crying. The worst part is when I’m arguing with someone and they’re completely willing to listen but I get so choked up that I can’t convey anything

Oh man, I remember being a kid, maybe 11 or so, and telling my dad, with full, calm, cheerful confidence, that I was going to "go play on the freeway" (i.e., díe/unalive myself) when I turned 45 years old, because I had arbitrarily decided that 45 was "old enough" and living PAST 45 years old was "too old." I remember my dad just standing there are staring at me, silent, sort of goggle-eyed in horror for a while. Now that I'm older, I realize that HE was 51 years old at that point, and I was basically calling him too old to live XD (I didn't exactly know how old he was when I said that, lol.) Now, of course, I'm 43 and I think living past 45 sounds grand, especially since I have kittens and young dogs!

Yeah, it can. Security, home, stress levels down, food on the table, bills paid, children clothed and fed, vacations possible, no car troubles, able to donate to charities, and so much more. When you're secure in your life, basics taken care of, yes you can start to be happy and confident.

Ever watch that movie and try to notice if their/her freckles matched up? I never did just because I didn't see it on an easy-to-pause, high-def computer screen. But for all the people who can't imagine the parents would be so clueless as to not notice their daughter has been swapped out, ya gotta figure they're like, "No, that can't be the twin... I'd never forget those freckles..."
