Memes are excellent forms of expression, whether it’s humor, a strong emotion, or even a political belief. As you’re about to see, they are also effective tools for communicating sarcasm.
For this list, we’re featuring posts from a Facebook group called Relatable Memes Served With a Side of Cyanide. If the name doesn’t give you a clue, it features images that convey some cynicism through visual humor.
Most of these are slightly snarky in tone to perfectly capture life’s daily stressors, passive-aggressive anger, and the discomfort of embarrassment, to name a few. And as always, we’ve compiled the best ones for your enjoyment.

Reading level doesn't really seem to count for much. Being able to read at a college level doesn't mean you are going to read things that are useful or that could help you be smarter. In the end most people I know just read what makes them happy regardless if it is age appropriate let alone at the correct reading level.

This. In elementary school, I was placed in "gifted" education programs, and accelerated classes in middle school. Truth was, I could ace any hands-on class - shop, home-ec, or any technology - based classes. However, I utterly failed the structured "advanced" classes that I was placed in (mathematics, grammar, etc). This resulted in getting constantly berated for "not trying" or "not applying myself"...

I was put in advanced classes in 5th grade (middle school). I was taking HS English and acing it. However, it pulled me out of math class 3x a week. Did great in everything but math. 9th grade I'm taking college English and got accused of writing my sister's (12th grade) research paper just because I gave her some tips. But I was failing intro to algebra. Honor student in college, but still couldn't pass algebra. Being gifted in one subject doesn't mean gifted in all subjects.

The equivalent of that little pop up that says “(their name) will remember that”
Sarcasm is a hit among many people; all 407,000 group members are just a fraction. But why is that? According to mental health counselor Anthony D. Smith, it allows us to mask hostility with humor.
In an article, Smith pointed out that people who use sarcasm may not be able to confront their real emotions. Therefore, they resort to a "cloak-and-dagger" approach to communication.

Smith adds that some people may use sarcasm to help them deal with possible intimacy issues. Apart from allowing them to “expel brewing contempt” in a less hostile manner, it may also serve as a barrier to keeping a distance from people.
He also pointed out other potential issues like pessimism and low self-esteem, which may explain why they react negatively towards people who aren’t fans of sarcastic behavior.

As abrasive as it may be, sarcasm has some known benefits. A report published in Scientific American Magazine revealed that people who engage in sarcastic conversation display higher levels of creativity.
For a sarcastic comment to work, the person must understand the contradictions between literal and actual meanings. This requires some critical and creative thinking.

I worked with a guy who used to troll the plant manager at a printing plant. TBF, he was terribly hung over most of the time and was pretty pliable. The shop "foreman" would bait him after meetings with stuff like "I can't believe he (the owner) would talk to you like that" and stir 💩 until the plant manager would go back in railing. That's how he eventually got fired, lol.
However, even with its perceived benefits, experts advise using sarcasm sparingly. In an article for Psychology Today, renowned psychologist and lecturer Dr. Clifford Lazarus compared it to adding spice to a dish and how too much can ruin the experience.
“A big or steady serving of sarcasm will overwhelm the emotional flavor of any conversation and can taste very bitter to its recipient,” he wrote.

Dr. Lazarus isn’t entirely against using sarcasm. However, he recommends tweaking the approach and using clever wit instead. As he explained, the primary difference is in the intent.
While sarcasm is meant to sting, witty remarks are more about magnifying an issue's absurdities. The humor involved is usually harmless, not creating any tension.

When I finally got to the point in life where I could slow down and think about things, I realized how much my childhood did impact me. I'll offer hope. I had a terrible childhood but it doesn't have to ruin your life. I understand my parents had problems and probably shouldn't have had kids. My parents had serious mental health issues and did not come from good supportive families themselves. I think they were doing the best they could. When you realize it wasn't personal, it feels better. I was part of a messed up situation. It wasn't my fault. I'm glad I made it through and giving my kids a much different life. Your past does not have to destroy you or be your future. You can always do better.
