Some memes, just like songs or movies, get old quickly. I mean, when's the last time you saw Bad Luck Brian? Or Salt Bae? Others, however, appear to be timeless—whether they have the ability to capture some universal truth or corporate PR departments are still using them on social media in an attempt to keep their brands relevant because they are too lazy to find new ones, a select few memes just keep popping up on the Internet.
Like the Starter pack. It's a series of multi-panel photo sets meant to illustrate the archetype of a person, company, or pretty much everything you can imagine through a recommended selection of fashion articles, multimedia, and other consumer products. It's a lot similar to the so-called steal her look fashion guides.
Probably nothing validates this meme's relevance more than a subreddit, dedicated to collecting its best variations. Created at the end of 2014, r/Starterpacks is an online community that has already grown to 1.8 million members, and it looks like it's only going to continue to get bigger. Continue scrolling and check out why.

Things My Cat Will Drink Out Of
From 'things I thought were huge problems when I was a kid' to 'the shoes you wear when your mom tells you to take out the trash', the amount of themes you can see on r/Starterpacks is quite something. However, niche posts usually don't get that many upvotes. "More relatable topics tend to get more likes as people can say 'Hey! That's me!'" the moderators of the subreddit told Bored Panda.
2020 has been a really good year for the community—the subreddit has grown by about 500k new members, and it might even reach 2 million in 2021. "The Covid-19 Pandemic had a lot of people stuck at home and on Reddit. People wanting to look at memes about their current situation could be a major contributor [to r/Starterpacks popularity]," the moderators explained.

Science Lab In A Movie Starter Pack
The story of the starter pack started around the caveman years in 2014 on Twitter by a user named ItsLadinaPlis with the 'I date black guys' starter pack. According to moderator WaddlesJP13, that single post spawned a bunch of other starter packs, basically turning it into a meme instantly, and leading to the creation of many forums and pages dedicated to the format, such as r/Starterpacks. "Somehow, the format is still really popular 6 years later and the subreddit," they wrote. Pretty good for a meme!

The "...and in English?" one bugs me when it's used for something pretty common, but they're assuming the audience is incredibly dumb and/or can't use context clues. "His eye was killing him, so he went to an ophthalmologist." "Okay, right... and in English that's...?" "She's an eye doctor."

try being an adult disabled dependent and not qualifying, it sucks. i don't even NEED the money, it would just be a nice addition to the household pool of money plus i might splurge and finally get a nintendo switch, but i feel horrible for all the people with actual need for that money, i can't imagine the relief they must have now knowing there's (hopefully) money coming for them finally.

I'm lucky enough to be retired with a husband earning enough for both of us. I give half of my monthly social security to my son & daughter-in-law, and have also given most of my stimulus $ to them as well. I'm so happy to know we've got leadership now trying to do the right thing for all of us!

"I Don't Do Well In School But I Talk About Quantum Physics" Starter Pack
Daniel (ShadowDrakken) 4 years ago
Well let's see: Tom Scott is a software developer who just entertains on YouTube and has said himself that he frequently gets things wrong but does his best and will often make corrections when necessary. Derek (Veritasium) is a science educator with a PhD in physics and has also has done follow up videos to make corrections occasionally. Michael (Vsauce) is also a science educator, but with a focus more on entertainment. And CGP Grey has a degree in economics and a physics teaching certification. So I'm pretty sure two of these are 100% qualified, and the other two aren't trying to be anything other than entertaining and as accurate as possible.
