By now, we can all admit that, at some point while scrolling through random memes, we've stumbled upon ones that describe our lives perfectly, resonating at 100 percent accuracy. Relatable memes often evoke the biggest laughs because they enable us to look at ourselves objectively, realizing that what seemed unique and exclusive to us is essentially a shared struggle or source of humor for everyone.

Despite its niche name, the Facebook page 'Blockchain Memes for Decentralized Teens' is dedicated to a broader audience, sharing the best memes that most people can relate to.

Scroll down to enjoy a selection of the most hilarious memes posted by this community, and to find out more about the psychological angle of memes' popularity from Dr. Laura Williams, whom we had the pleasure to talk to, so make sure to read our full interview.

I don't want the nervous system walking into my room (google images "real nervous system").

Relatable memes capture the essence of our everyday, ordinary situations that we can easily recognize and refer to. They can range from the challenges of getting up early in the morning, dealing with some common chores, or problems in relationships. Seeing that portrayed in the form of memes, we find a connection between us and other people dealing with the same simple things.

In order to find out more about the relatable meme phenomenon, we reached out to clinical psychologist Dr. Laura Williams. Apart from her clinical practice, the trauma and relational specialist from the UK is also the author of the Know Your Own Psychology podcast.

We were wondering why people gravitate towards and engage with relatable memes on social media and Dr. Williams helped us to get a better understanding of this topic: “I think that people gravitate towards relatable memes online because they validate some aspect of our life experience. We can see within the meme an aspect of ourselves that we might have never had the opportunity to acknowledge. Often, memes portray parts of ourselves that we would ordinarily keep hidden from view. They make us feel seen and reduce shame around whatever the content relates to.”

What’s also worth mentioning is that relatable memes feature universal emotions, allowing people to connect on a personal level with the humorous content. Whether it's expressing frustration, happiness, or nostalgia, they all experience some sort of emotion that is the elementary component for this kind of meme.

We wanted to know if the psychologist believes relatable memes foster a sense of community or belonging online. Dr. Laura Williams told us: “Yes - I think that memes, particularly those that have been engaged with to a high level, make us feel more connected and less alone. They tell us that our experience is shared by others. They also offer an opportunity to see the funnier side of what can be the challenges of life.”

Unfortunately by the time you figure this out, and have enough money to do it, you've reached the point in your life where cake everyday sounds terrible.

Some memes regard pop culture, some popular trends, or references that a wide audience can understand and relate to. They often use humor, wit, dialogue, or clever captions to convey a relatable situation, making people laugh or smile at the experiences they share.

We were curious about what the popularity of relatable memes reveals about contemporary societal trends or challenges in Dr. Williams' opinion, looking at it from her professional standpoint. The expert shared with us: “I think the popularity of memes online points towards a shift in how we connect with others and know ourselves and our individual psychology. Though they validate challenges in our life, these moments are fleeting as much of the content we consume on social media is there one second and gone the next. In some senses, they raise our self-awareness. However, I suspect this rarely leads to a level of reflection that goes deeper than the few seconds we are engaged.”

This reminds me of the Uraba lugens moth caterpillar. "As the caterpillar ... grows, it sheds its exoskeleton – but rather than getting rid of the previous head section, it stays attached to its body to create a bizarre “hat”. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg24632881-200-weird-caterpillar-uses-its-old-heads-to-make-an-elaborate-hat/

Lastly, Dr. Laura Williams added: “I wonder about the superficiality of that and indeed about the memes that validate and perhaps even perpetuate more 'harmful' messaging. One example of this is the rise in memes that target 'mothers' asking 'Is it gin o'clock yet'. I'm sure there are many more examples that target specific groups of people.”

I couldn't't stand it without wanting to sneak a little treat under the table. Trouble is, the owner would be able to see me, so that would probably deter me.

They're called preauricular pits. Less than one percentage of people are born with them, but this percentage seems to vary with geographical location.

Did that once in a bar in South Georgia when I was in the Air Force. The locals made it clear we weren't welcome so before we left my friend put a dollar in the juke box and selected the most redneck song he could find for 10 plays in a row.

I don't agree with this at all. Pros: No one will stop you on the street because they either only see a blurry glimpse or they know they can't catch you even running. You are wild as the wind, free, unbothered. Cons: There are none here, the introvert can only win. Or maybe the fact that if you bump into something, you'll lose the golden rings.
