Memes are a surefire way to spark a conversation online. You can create visual content worth sharing on social media with clever wordplay and a fitting image.
It’s also why online communities like the Meme Life Facebook group remain relevant in today’s era of TikTok dance videos. Its 888,000 members keep the page alive with chuckle-worthy and relatable posts that best describe daily life.
We’ve picked some of the standouts from the deep well of posts about doom-scrolling, corny puns that tickle the funny bone, and questions that stir curiosity. Keep scrolling, and you may just find the exact meme that perfectly encapsulates your current state of emotions.

Clever. And now that I realize that is idea is likely true, I am scared.
Memes have a staying power that has allowed them to outlive many internet trends that have come and gone. Even with the drastic switch in content creation these days, they still remain relevant. Why is that?
One possible reason is their impact on society. An article by the University of Westminster pointed out a meme’s ability to elicit emotions through a simple image and text. Greenpeace co-founder Bob Hunter called this concept a “mind bomb,” a photo that sends a strong message and urges action.
Exactly. Serial killers should have a better grasp of correct grammar.
Greenpeace also used memes to make statements about the causes it promotes. Most of their posts covered misinformation about climate change and protecting the environment, which got the younger audience's attention.
Have to give her the devil's due - cats are not always easy to train.

Oh sh*t, I thought 65 was her age. I was like she looks more like around 90. 🤣

Pets, children, husbands, and extended families are famously known to be hard to train. But, it sure is fun watching them try.
I need to get to work! I don't have 40 years. Hell, I don't have 4 years!
Now come on now! Does anyone really believe that this is true? Give me a break! 😲😅😏
Have you ever tried training ONE cat? She should receive a medal! Besides, chances are they're only stealing cat food.
Don't get duped like others. Snopes.com: On 3 November 2017, the fake news web site World News Daily Report posted a story reporting that an 83-year-old woman named Ruth Gregson of Columbus, Ohio, had trained her 65 cats to steal valuable items like jewelry from her neighbors..." This is false. The clue is obvious.
Unfortunately, outdoor roaming cats are the number one predator killing wild birds. The small rural town we live in has a wild cat problem. Four come around every day to kill the birds at our feeders. Then they p**s on my grill and in our garden, scratch the hood of my car when they climb up on it to get warm on cool days. A general nuisance. Our local animal control has no way to deal with them.
Another possible reason for memes' longevity is their pop culture connection. Many of them include images of some of the biggest celebrities in the world. Remember crying Michael Jordan? How about Ron Burgundy’s famous catchphrase from the first Anchorman movie?
These famous faces have been used to express an emotion that everyone could always relate to, making these memes stand the test of time.
I am afraid this Meme is too accurate and will have to be removed from BoredPanda.
He's a bit in-bread but at least he doesn't loaf around. (Sorry, sorry.)
But what makes a meme so effective? Entertainment publishing entrepreneur Kit Chilvers attributes it to their shareability through humor, which brings people together.
In an interview with the New York Times, he pointed out how memes can make people feel like they belong to a tribe of like-minded individuals. Content creator Saint Hoax agrees, describing these images as "editorial cartoons for the internet age."
Saint Hoax has over three million Instagram followers, building their online presence almost exclusively from memes. They also credit the “transmissibility” of these funny yet relatable posts and how they can translate within different cultures.
“It has the ability to capture insight in a way that is in complete alignment with the zeitgeist,” Saint Hoax said in the same Times interview.
Now, we’d like to hear your opinions. Why do you think memes are still as popular as they were almost 15 years ago? What do you think is the reason behind their longevity? Let yourself be heard in the comments!
Is anyone else gonna come into Hell for laughing before I close the door? (EDIT: The REPLIES ROFLMAO)
They start googling it and I get my “I told you so” ready
So that's a polite way to suggest the person parks better. Can't get mad at that, can you?
That's how my toe looked after breaking bones, I tried pulling it straight thinking it was dislocated and put my socks and boots on.
Do sales Preparation H increase after elections as we all seem to be feeling well and truly f****d in the a*s with their broken promises.
Except for the last one. It could easily be replaced with 'most people '.
