Don't know if you noticed, Pandas, but the world is in a funny state right now. It can be hard to maintain a positive outlook, as stress levels are at an all-time high in the U.S. In fact, 40% of Americans report experiencing peak stress.
That's why letting yourself be a silly goose for a few minutes a day is important. And what better way to have a laugh or two than to scroll through some entertaining memes? Don't fret, Pandas, we've got you! Here's a compilation of hilarious pics from two different pages that specialize in all kinds of memes.

AI is really everywhere nowadays. Although its advocates often talk about how much it helps in our jobs and will do so even more in the future, people also don't shy away from using it to make others laugh. Just think of the "BBL Drizzy" AI-generated hit that was sampled for the "end credits song" to the Kendrick-Drake beef.
Memes are no exception, either. If memes once were the product of the ingenuity of the chronically online, they now can be generated pretty easily by artificial intelligence. You think that's as lazy as making AI do your job for you? Hold your judgment, because, with the help of AI, we might be seeing a surge of a new kind of meme.

People who judge other people based on the brands they choose are so sad. Corporations don't care about you Brenda, stop caring so much about their products.
In 2024, a video made with the Luma Dream Machine AI model started making rounds on social media. In it, the well-known "Distracted Boyfriend" meme had an upgrade. Someone altered it so now, instead of just looking at another girl, the boyfriend walks away in another direction.
People started playing with other iconic memes and dubbed them "Time traveler" or "Interrupting" memes. The main premise is this: either someone else shows up in the video of the altered iconic meme or the action goes in a completely different direction than was implied originally.

Other notable examples of the Time traveler/Interrupting memes include the "Noice" meme, instead of hearing the man uttering the famous phrase at the end, we see two men in black enter the frame, implying that the man is getting detained. The classic "Charlie bit my finger" video got the AI treatment too. The supposed "Time traveler" stops Charlie from biting his brother's finger.

I'm more interested in where the 4 year old is getting her income and transportation. /j EDIT: For the folks giving me the obvious answer of "a parent took them", Yes, I get it. I have raised / helped raise my two children and 7 grandchildren so I do have a clue how that works. My joking point was just that an adult chose to purchase the card and not explain that it was inappropriate to the situation.
Even the meme of the lady screaming at a cat got an upgrade. "AI finally settled this beef," one user quipped. The trend soon found a footing on TikTok, with people sharing videos about the time traveler memes. "POV: It's the year 2024 and ancient memes are being tampered with by time travelers," the caption of one video reads.

If my granddaughter calls me a bad b!tch when I'm 84 I'll be delighted.
Some people freaked out over the altered classic memes. "All of these AI videos are making me feel like I'm in a dream and questioning reality," one TikTok user wrote. Culture journalist Kristine Villarroel even wrote a piece for Vice, titled "AI is rewriting meme history." But is there any real danger that we will one day forget such iconic memes?

UBLOCK ORIGIN (makes every youtube video as "blessing from the Lord") EDIT: For folks wanting ublock origin to still work with Chrome, this reddit discussion may be a good starting point for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1j2ec76/ublock_origin_is_gone/
Know Your Meme editor Phillip Hamilton told Villarroel that these "Time traveler" videos don't pose any real threat to the preservation of meme history. "Generally, everyone knows the context," he pointed out. "The iconicness of the video is at the core of the trend... the core of the [time-traveler] meme is that popular thing being stopped."

Family doesn't necessarily mean relatives. I'd rather help my loved ones (blood related or not) than some relative i never see.

It's not just because many Internet users are well-versed in the memes of the past. These videos with "time travelers" in memes are still pretty sloppy in depicting human faces and body parts accurately. For some people, it adds to the uncanny feeling that fuels instant rejection upon seeing such a video.
#23
Perhaps we don't have to worry about AI rewriting the history of memes, but we should take note that it might get better than us at creating memes. Just this year, researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, LMU Munich in Germany, and TU Darmstadt in Germany found that people find AI-generated captions for memes funnier than human ones.

I know it's a meme, but some people actually expect employees to play heroes and confront violent and potentially armed robbers. Stores have insurance for that kind of things, and the devices on display are usually locked anyway. Employees don't have to put their lives at risk for no reason.
The AI didn't generate the memes themselves. Instead, the researchers used already popular memes like Doge, Futurama, and Boromir, from The Lord of the Rings. GPT-4o only generated the captions for them and performed better than the average human. "I regret to announce that the meme Turing Test has been passed," Wharton professor Ethan Mollick wrote, commenting on the study. AI vs human meme masters: 1-0?
But which memes from this list did you find to be the most entertaining, Pandas? Let us know your favorites in the comments! And if you're craving more random pics to chuckle at in your free time, be sure to check out our previous lists here, here, and here!

And then a ping from your phone to say that the delivery driver passed by but nobody was home. Looking at YOU, Chronopost, you absolute shower. 😠

This May there are several public holidays. And we're also doing "ponts" (bridges) which means if the holiday is on a Thursday (or Tuesday) then we will extend the weekend and not work the Friday (or Monday) either. 😺

A very old man married a very young woman. At the wedding reception some one said " A wedding night can be very physically stressful. Aren't you afraid you're risking a fatality?" He replied "I can't help that. If she dies, she dies."

Note for UK viewers - OP meant 'bags of thin potato crisps' not fried potato chunks. Which also explains the lack of fish ...
