Enter the Pickuplines Instagram page. With more than six million followers and counting, the account features memes that may make you feel seen.

As always, we’ve picked out the memes that stood out to us, which, hopefully, you enjoy!

    Some of the memes on this list may seem unfunny or even offensive to others. University of Edinburgh doctoral researcher and Memes Studies Research Network founder Idil Galip describes these as “niche memes,” which are an acquired taste. 

    In an interview with the BBC, Galip recognizes these memes as a strong proponent of building communities online. 

    "They're meant usually to create things like in-group belonging, something that kind of strengthens a sense of identity,” Galip said.

    For you who don’t know, the spoon is so that he can see if anyone (probably his mom) walks into his room so that he can quickly change what is on the screen.

    Some of the most relatable memes that go viral often poke fun at the absurdity of life. As Galip noted, it’s a “replication of mundane reality” as an art form. She also pointed out how such an expression was practiced in Hellenic times, where comedy took real-life tragedies lightly.

    “You've got something like tragic theatre that takes things that happen to you that are upsetting and real-life and makes them into comedic things, which is what memes do,” Galip explained.

    This is funny because my husband and I had a discussion about this over the weekend. Mostly because the Biden smelling kids heads. I have always had people smelling my hair since I was a teen and started taking good care of my hair. Coworkers, people sitting next to me…men and women always commented about how nice my long hair smells. I like smelling animal heads. I had a coworker that said her void smelled like patchouli and mine smelled like baby powder. We were cosmetologists. Some people just like it when someone naturally smells nice. Unlike the one person I worked with and had to Fabreeze her office chair…

    Gentlemen, assuming you're straight, imagine a guy coming up & sniffing you & telling you you smell great while eyeing you up & down. It gives women the same skin crawlies. If you’re dating, that’s an entirely different scenario.

    It’s one thing for a meme to be relatable and go viral, but another for it to remain relevant. According to sociologist Nicki Lisa Cole, memes must be replicable online and offline to stand the test of time.

    As Cole pointed out in an article for ThoughtCo., a shareable meme should require minimal skill to reproduce, allowing it to evolve and boost its staying power.

    Cole used the “Be Like Bill” meme as an example that possesses three key “it-factors”: copy-fidelity, fecundity, and longevity. It is a simple stick figure introduced in 2015 to “passive-aggressively call out” annoying social media behaviors. 

    Because of how easy it is to create one through meme generators, it has taken a life of its own and remains relevant today.

    Anyone else ever compose a text, forget to send it, and then wonder why there’s no reply?

    All messages were received within 3 minutes. So at least that. Funny though.

    Did that before. Once when I was working a job at a brunch spot popular with the church crowd. Bible verses are NOT an acceptable tip. Most recently a warehouse job that was working me 60+ hours a week. 4pm until 4am. Days off were Saturday and Monday. Did that for six months before I gave them the finger.

    Not a man but same. It's called organized chaos. It looks like a cluttered mess but I can tell you exactly where all my stuff is in that cluttered mess. It's when I actually put stuff where it belongs that I can't find it

    That's actually sweet - the child is describing what *they* would like after a hard day, 'cos he's not yet heard of mummyjuice.

    Humour eases stress and pain. This is genius, funny, and good for everyone involved.

    MY college girlfriend claimed to be 5'8" because she didn't think being taller than guys was attractive.. When pressed, she'd admit to 5'10". In a picture of us together, she's wearing flat shoes, and the top of her head came up to my ear. I was about 6'4", so she was easily close to six foot herself. I don't know who she thought she was fooling. Apparently, she's gotten over it, because she married some short guy she absolutely towers over.

    Why do pictures of The Rapture always have people fully dressed and awake? Wouldn't this event capture people in the middle of swimming, bathing, eating, having their hair done?

    Part of the problem is that it's "heads up", as in "put your heads up". No apostrophe. It's not possessive, just plural.

    But I hate waking up in the middle of the night with my mouth open, gagging because my throat is all dried out. I have taken to taping my mouth shut before I sleep.

    It's basic respect to call a minute before the set time. Maybe they won't pick up but they will know you're reliable.
