50 Funny Memes From This IG Page To Scroll Through Instead Of Doing Literally Anything Else
Interview With ExpertOne of the great things about memes is that they help us stay connected. When life gets in the way, weeks can go by unnoticed without us texting a friend, "Hey, how are you?” But as long as we receive a meme from them once in a while, we can rest assured that all is well.
Today, we have a collection of memes that are perfect for this purpose. Provided by the X page “Spill the Memes,” they are guaranteed to make anyone chuckle with their relatability. To find them, all you have to do is scroll down!
While you're busy sending them to your pals, don't forget to check out a conversation with expat friendship coach Sarah Siegert, who kindly agreed to tell us more about maintaining friendships with memes.

At least you grew out of that thinking - there is still some ADULTS who think like you USED to....
My high school janitor was very beloved. He was smart, resourceful, patient, and kind. When he retired, the school threw him a party. I’m lucky my school had a lot of respect for the custodians. It’s not a glamorous job but it is needed and should be appreciated always.
I always wanted to be a lab aide, because the one in our school got to wear jeans to work
I never tolerated this the-janitor-is-gross attitude and wound up in the principal's office a few times for smacking the kids who made these comments.
I live in a ski town and my circle of friends has always worked in the ski industry "because it's cool as hell!". Now we're middle aged and broke af. One buddy started as a janitor at the local school and now he makes bank and has free time in the summer. Changing our attitudes for sure!
Yeah, we're not stupid. We know businesses are in business to make a profit, but if you want a top tier employee, you have to dip into some of that profit. Everyone is familiar with the old adage: you get what you pay for.
According to expat friendship coach Sarah Siegert, memes can be a great way to stay in touch, as long as they're not the only way. “Sharing memes is fun, easy, and quick. It's sending the message of 'I saw this and it made me think of you' or 'I saw this and you would like it' which in and of itself is its own small communication,” she told us.
“At the same time, I think it is a relatively superficial and indirect way to communicate (using a medium - the meme). That means that the quality of the connection could be less deep, and the quality is poorer.”
Taking into account both sides of the coin, she says that using memes to stay connected with friends in a pinch can be better than nothing, but she also recommends planning in-person quality time meetups to maintain deep friendships. “Don't try to replace true human connection with memes,” she adds.
I grew up thinking this is how noses work. Then I swapped carpet for hard wood floors in my bedroom and discovered both nostrils really could work at the same time.
Can you elaborate, please? I have a big issue with that because I can't breathe through one nostril at night, which doesn't let me sleep properly. But when I was at a nasal doctor they said it was nothing and gave me some nose spray that doesn't do anything.
Load More Replies...Could be worse. You might have slept through and be currently 3 hours late for work.
Load More Replies...My alarm is wishful thinking. My cat wakes me up every morning at daybreak, even though I tell her she doesn't get breakfast until 7. Every. Morning. And she does sometimes get fed before 7 because she is that persistent. Guess she has me trained well.
I prefer this because it means my alarm won’t go off. I’d much rather wake up naturally than be jarred out of sleep (and no matter how gentle my alarm is, it still jars me out of sleep).
This is the worst. Wake up between 2-4am, you still get a few more hours, but 20 minutes before the alarm? What's the point?
The alarm does not go off when you are having night terrors. But in the most wonderful dream you can have, just before kissing the most delightful person you've ever dreamed about ...
Are you kidding? Sleep ending naturally ALWAYS beats sleep ending by interruption.
Ah when you get older you will understand! Though I may be too old to be alive
I dont like how people just shrug this off as “you’re too young to be tired” when in reality the age where you can “be tired” is slowly moving down the line as the youth mental health problem increases
People confuse chronological age with biological age. There are people in my building who are 25-30 years older than me who always poo-poo me when I comment on feeling old and tired. Honey, I'm privy to my medical records and what they're telling me is that a few of my organs are a hellava lot older than my birthday age.
The only time I say anything about being older is when it comes to pain, especially if you have arthritis or other joint or bone issues. The older you get the more wear and tear your body unfortunately goes through. I spent 26 years straight standing and running around on concrete floors, even when I was a lab tech I still had to stand and move quickly all day. Sitting down at any job I've had was not an option, add all the BMX biking, Skateboard, Roller Blades, Street Hockey, Football and every other sport you can imagine. It accumulates damage in your bones, joints, tendon, muscle, ligaments, etc. over time which, yes it will make the pain worse because the older you get the more trauma your body has gone through. I turn 47 on May 24 and I wish to God I had the same energy, less pain and recovery time as in my 30's because it takes a hell of a lot longer for my body to bounce back from pretty much everything.
Have you seen a doctor? Please get a checkup if you can. Tired is one thing; being on the floor - literally or not - is another.
Load More Replies...it's an honor making it to old age, being a whiny young person doesn't mean s**t.
Siegert further tells us that sending memes is most appropriate when the connection has already been established and people are trying to maintain it. “Building a new connection solely through sending memes is also possible, but the connection will be less deep and the quality of the connection will be poorer,” she says.
“Sending memes as a way to stay connected is also most appropriate when you have a busy period of time and you want to show your friend, 'Hey, I'm thinking of you!' without investing a bunch of time talking or meeting up. It's a tool that's most appropriate to tie things over in between the high-quality ways to connect (meetups, phone calls, etc.).”
Every time I see that meme I wonder what caused this little girl to cry so heartbreakingly.

Load More Replies...Backstory...Billy had the green and wouldn't let her use it...bastard.
i think that 3 years was the easiest to learn , since almost nothing happened after the initial panic and wipe-out- no wars, no terror attacks for 2 years! humans were confined inside and life went on festally on the outside. the planet rejoiced!
If you know your history, there's nothing new about this era. We've been close to the edge B4. And historically, older & larger empires have fallen.
Ok, but those were thousands of years ago. If the "empire" collapses tomorrow than 2050 kids will definitely study it
Load More Replies...I once had a cat that actually said mmmnnn nom nom nom mrrrr' every time he got fed. Made me laugh so much.
When I was a kid we had a cat who would tell us she was hungry by yelling "NOW! NOW NOW!" It was so funny.
Load More Replies...And second time, and third time, and . . .. Cats are always a joy to watch doing anything (including destroying your cherished possessions).
I've been sitting here taking pictures of my confused and curious cat trying to figure out why my glass of Pellegrino is making little pokes at his face. He's just so stinking adorable! Reminds me of Tom Kitten from Beatrix Potter fame.
Load More Replies...I grew up with cats, but haven't had my own since I moved out of my parents' house. Nonetheless, I have little doubt this will be me when I can finally make my dream of being a cat-mom come true ♥
I wasn't a cat person...until my now beloved Wife brought our maximum Supreme Ruler home. And yes! That's me since then he was a tiny little sack of hair...and I love it since day one! 😊
I can only make plans hours in advance, not because I'm spontaneous, but due to moodiness.
Me last Tuesday morning, in a great mood, planning to meet a good friend the next day to have her look at and buy a bunch of my excess inventory. Tueday late afternoon? My voice goes walkabout, my throat gets sore and I realize I just started a cold or flu. We rescheduled but damn, that was a fast and disappointing reverse!
Sounds like me when I make plans for my birthday which is New Year's Eve.
However, she warns that relying solely on memes for communication can make the connection superficial. “You can still use memes to express yourself, but they won't replace a vulnerable conversation with a friend. So the negative impact could be that you feel less connected to your friend and that the connection will be of poor quality because you both share less about what's really going on for you and so the connection fades away.
It's a light-touch form of communication. If you want a true, deep, and real friendship, you'll need to put in more work than solely sending memes. You need to speak to your friends, share information, ask questions, deeply connect. That's not possible solely through sending and receiving memes."
Pretty sure I saw this posted somewhere else a long time ago, with the caption, "Onward, Sir Honkers, there's fuckery to spread!" 😂
hey. if it works... but I would have to watch to see how this boating trip ended
um my papa knows someone who's brother was killed by those thing when they went kayaking...
This is me for an hour or more three to four times a day.
Due to my economic situation, ( being poor as f**k ) especially growing up I was ALWAYS excited whenever we were able to afford any type of new appliances. Even now as an adult that s**t is exciting and cause for celebration.
I have a cousin who sends me long voice messages on Whatsapp about his airfryer.
How many of you old farts remember Queen for a Day? A weep fest as women poured out their financial/medical troubles to the audience for a chance to win medical equipment, a washer, or some other badly needed item.
While sending memes is a quick way to connect and, at times, might even seem lazy, it’s comforting to know that it still counts as a genuine way to maintain relationships. This is especially helpful when our social batteries are empty or we are too tired to properly reach out, but we still want to express that we care about them.
Aussies and Kiwis be like it's not cold, unless you've got shoes and long sleeves.
Floridians be like, yeah it's cold but I don't own long pants or shoes that are not flip flops.
Load More Replies...Living in one of Canadas coldest cities I can confirm,Canada born kids are a different species lol they would rather look "stylish" and be cold in -40 with wind chill than wear a warm coat. Saw a girl once on the bus going to school,she was wearing shoes that looked like house slippers with regular socks,in a snow storm. It was kind of funny to see her get off the bus and step into snow that reached her shins.
My money says he's Canadian! Could be -12C. and for them, well, it is a bit warm
My bro in law has that pizza slicer! It was a present from me and he instantly loved it. :D
Fellow Pandas, do you prefer your pizza cut into triangles or squares? I'm triangles for thick crust, squares for thin.
How would you cut a round pizza into triangles? I mean you could, but there would be a lot of waste.
Load More Replies...To figure out that final zinger we didn't think of 6 hours ago, of course.
Sometimes we just don’t have the psychological power to answer a text, even though we’re mindlessly scrolling online. Lifestyle coach Dr. Mary Kempnich explains that this is more common than we might think.
“Responding to a message of a friend you care about actually takes some time and requires you to put in some effort especially if they’ve asked you questions that are not very easily answered in a minute or two,” she said. Whereas, passively scrolling is a more relaxing and distracting activity, especially if the person had a draining day or even a week.
She has to hold the pizza in her lap or the cats will run off with most of it.
No, silly, cats normally just sit in laps not run off with them.

I had a teacher who said he grew up so used to heartburn from his Mom's kitchen that when he went to college, he panicked because he could no longer feel his heart. No, he could no longer feel heartburn. You're not SUPPOSED to feel a burning in your chest.
Load More Replies...Literally had that conversation with doctors, more than once. My 10 is a very high benchmark, from a motorbike crash where I'd broken my entire ribcage and most of my vertebrae, so anything else tends to measure just a 2 or 3 by comparison. Pain scores are always viewed as subjective by medical professionals, as in, one persons' 10 might be another person's 5.
When I was in the hospital, actually crying because it hurt so much, that was an 8 for me. (I've had a baby that was a solid 9.something). The nurses made some comment I can't remember, but essentially it doesn't matter the number if you physically can't handle the pain. Meanwhile there are people with a headache who say they're at 100 and walking around fine. I think I had a point at the start of writing this. Oops.
Load More Replies...There are people who actually wake up with ZERO pain? No way, you're lying. 😏🤨
I absolutely wake up with ZERO pain. It's only when I try to get out of bed the pain kicks in.
Load More Replies...I have a high pain threshold, probably from years of manual labor. Just because I can tolerate pain doesn't mean I enjoy it and want it to go away.
I have a high pain tolerance due to injuries from early childhood. The first was when I was 18 months old when I fell down a couple steps where I wound up with a hair line fracture of my upper jaw and neck bone below my head. The second time was when I was 3 1/2 years old when I fell onto a pile of lumber where I reinjured my neck bone and bone just above my hips. I was told that I came close to severing the spinal cord both times.
Pee however you wish, but just keep the toilet clean.
Load More Replies...Helpful hint (maybe): keep one eye closed when you turn on the lights. When you turn off the lights close both eyes and open the other one (the one that was closed). It should still be acclimated to the dark and your eyes will adjust faster. Edit: it's been hypothesized that's actually why pirates wore eye patches. So they could adjust quickly to the dark ship cabins (or whatever that's called). (Added hypothesized for the pirate part. The time to adjust between light is not a hypothesis.)
Or better yet, don't turn on the lights. Get a night light and a toilet bowl light. You can do everything you normally do if you're coming from a dark room.
Load More Replies...Ha hah! This is when my disability has an upside. I pee in a bag! 😀 It's okay to laugh!
Him: Honey, I had a religious experience last night. I got up to take a leak and suddenly I was overcome by a blinding light followed by refreshingly chilling wave of self-realization. Me: You pissed in the refrigerator again.
If you find yourself avoiding committing to answering a longer text, Dr. Kempnich advises leaving a little comment or a like. This way, the friend is aware of your presence and informed that you’re not ready to reply properly just yet.

Luckily, in many friendships, there’s this unspoken mutual understanding that a person should not take it personally if the other doesn’t have the emotional capacity to send a text as usual. If memes are all we can do in the moment, that’s quite alright, said psychologist Andrea Bonior. It is certainly better than silence.
My husband uses his GPS no matter where he’s going. He says it makes him feel like he’s got company & not just driving around alone. He once bought a GPS that responded to voice commands. He was so excited when it arrived! But it did not understand his accent, so he had to return it.
listen, the space in my brain that i save by not memorizing directions is very precious to me
My father could drive somewhere once and remember the route for the rest of his life. I've forgotten which way to turn when I walk out of a store. Pretty sure I broke his heart on a regular basis.
My tech-unassisted navigation skills are pretty close to zero but at least they're better than my parents'. We'd be barreling towards the setting sun and I'd be like "I think we should be going east" and they'd be like "How do you know what direction we're going?"
I am guilty of this and my friend and her mum always mocks me for this. I use Google Maps to visit them despite being there several times.
“When demands get in the way of us keeping up our relationships in the ways we’d like, we feel guilty and pull a disappearing act altogether,” she told HuffPost. “Or we think we have to do some big grandiose ‘catch-up’ since it’s been so long, whereas in reality it’s the little things that can matter most.”
I somehow would manage to bounce my leg in my sleep since that was the only thing that would calm my son after colic cleared up. Would catch myself doing it for a year or so later.
I want to know where that picture came from and I want to frame it and put it up on my bedroom. It is sooooooo becautiful.
You guys must use a different kind of tomatoes. I hate tomatoes, and when I buy a sandwich those damn things hold on for dear life. Nothing is worse than that residual tomato slime.
I hate fresh tomatoes too and apparently I'm weird.

Wow, it's actually worse! Looks like a giant robot. 480085332c...0cd3ee.jpg
Sorry Milan, I'm just not a fan of Brutalist architecture. Overpowering, cold, and uninviting. All I can think of is the USSR or municipal buildings.
Audi? The evil supervillain is a subsidiary of Volkswagon? Well, actually that checks out.
After being MIA for a longer period of time, it can also feel a little uncomfortable to send an apology text, whereas sharing a good meme, an X post, or a TikTok can be a great icebreaker. “Sometimes having smaller, more fleeting interactions can keep things feeling more natural and connected than putting undue expectations on yourself that will only feel burdensome, or will lead to further growing apart,” Bonior said.
I cook the whole package of linguini, and used to take the whole bowl to the table and force it all into my gaping maw, but now I take a reasonable portion in a smaller bowl, and most of the time there is another meal to put away. Hooray for portion control will power. It only took 74 years of (not) trying.
The directions usually tell you to overcook it.
Load More Replies...I always end up with enough cooked spaghetti to feed an army that happens to drop by the house at dinner time.
I got one of those spaghetti spoons with the hole in and putting spaghetti through the hole does measure a portion of spaghetti,and when serving the spoon does hold one portion. Whoever invented those was a genius.
AKA Rural, Small towns and and a ton of bridges in Oklahoma. Our infrastructure is improving but it still has a LONG way to go in some areas.
I agree about rural Oklahoma. I have a lot of family in a very rural part of southeast OK, and the roads are horrible. Many of their roads are still gravel, but even the asphalt ones are severely neglected. I live in rural middle Tennessee, but our roads are, for the most part, fabulous.

When my battery runs out, you *really* do not want to be around me.
This is what being an introvert is like. My family thinks I'm weird because I go and sit alone after being with them all day when we're on vacation together. Really I've just run out of tolerance for other people.
My grandma always gets upset I do not want to talk more when I get off work... I have two jobs and frequently work doubles. All my energy and talking went to the customers...sorry but that is just how it is. Do not take it personally lol
Load More Replies...I can remember if I locked it because of the *beep beep* but can't recall if I turned off the lights and wipers unless I say the word as I do it.
I don't have that problem with locks, but if I take three steps from the car I have to go back and look at the gear shift to make certain that I put it in park. Every single time. 🤷♀️
Versus me, who got out of the car yesterday with the car key in my hand, then went to lock the car, with my house key. I then spent ten minutes looking for the car key that I somehow left on my seat despite having it in my hand as I got out of the car
Of course I remember locking the car. But was that just now, or last week?
absolutely... have this also with checking if my mic is off in meetings......
Poor obese cato. The people who did this to it should be in jail.
Load More Replies...My cat is obese and it's from being on steroids. Not all fat cats are being overfed or abused with food. We all know the serving suggestions and are well aware of the dangers of obesity but it's not always the owners fault. There are plenty of factors that could be at play
Please follow the serving sizes on the bag of cat food or consult the vet about a diet. Your cat is in big trouble health wise.

If you have young kids and they start to outgrow a favorite toy, like a doll or whatever, pull it out of rotation and save it. Coolest Christmas present I got at 40 years old was my beloved Baby Beans from childhood.
Yes. Agree. And, as well, some of my daughter's favorite toys were the ones my mom had saved from my childhood. No point in saving it all, but always save the favorites.
Load More Replies...I still have mine, thank god, and have added to them over the years. Pìssed about some other things though…
Load More Replies...I have certain containers of the kids toys marked. Son's wooden Thomas the Tank Engine and every Lego he ever received. God, I could vacation in Greece on what those alone are worth! And the 1st & 2nd Gen Star Wars toys (still packaged)? That's retirement! I've kept their favorites and any collectibles. Grandson is getting the Thomas stuff for his 3rd birthday in September.
This! My mom was always throwing out or giving away my toys and bedroom decorations when I was young. Usually it would be while I was at school, sports or a friend's house but other times she would make me go with her to the donation place. No amount of pleading or begging ever worked. Eventually I learned to hide my favorites, and others I might buy a few times over because there was always a reason I shouldn't be allowed to keep it. Ilove my mom but sometimes she drove me nuts when she was on one of her cleaning and organizing sprees!
I am still more than a little bitter about my dad getting rid of all my my little ponies. I'm having to slowly recollect them
My grandmother gave away my extensive Micronauts collection. Most of you will go, “Huh?” A few of you will share my tears.
My mom threw away my old artwork & drawings. Never asked. me if I wanted them. Sent me off to college & threw my stuff in the trash.
If my mother hadn't done that to me years ago, I could make a fortune selling all that stuff on eBay today!
Have you noticed how you do two weeks laundry because you're going away for a week, you're away for a week, then there's two weeks laundry to do. That's four weeks laundry in three weeks. I have no idea why

If all the tricks just don't work, I start stabbing the lid until the pressure releases then use what I need and if I have leftovers, put it in another container who's lid I can take off without violence
I wrenched my shoulder pretty bad in January trying to get open a pickle jar.
Get the end of a teaspoon under the edge of the lid & lever it out until the seal pops.
You just gotta hit the lid a couple times with the back of a butter knife. 💪
Heel of the hand to the bottom of the jar or ding around the lid with the thick end of a butterknife works every time!
It took a long time to teach Patrick how to open a lid.
That is why you carefully pick up the snack, pretend to eat it and than give it back. Double win for the toddler. You "ate " their snack and they get to eat it for real.
