Like a quick snack in the middle of a road trip, memes are that sort of bite sized popcorn, trail mix or candy-style thing one can gobble up quickly for a boost. Plus, just like with snacks, it can be nice to have them all in one spot, a handy location for easy access.

A tape of his wedding?? I realise that it could have been transferred from film, but he probably married in the 60s. Who even thought of filming their weddings then? And who could afford it? I'm so curious.
You are assuming they only married once, when young. Perhaps they married at 50 or 60. We were videotaping weddings then

I love people like this, and people like this are usually not noticed because they have poor jobs and are treated like dirt. We need more people like this
As a former trucker I assure you that I never withheld the air horn due to agism. Stay young at heart Panda😉
Load More Replies...Even more entertaining if you toot the city horn first, because it's just a regular car horn. Then, when they look all confused/disappointed, give them the full kahuna.
There's nothing like going past a grade school at recess and having a bunch of kids running toward the street pumping their fists , and the happiness on their faces when I happily comply.
My SO is a UK trucker. He's 41. He LOVES it. A truckers day, heck, work week, can be quite solitary. Give them a smile. :)
Memes hit the sweet spot by serving up tiny slices of humor crafted from everyday truths. They thrive because they capture those awkward, hilarious, and sometimes tragically real moments that everyone knows too well. A relatable meme isn’t just a picture with text, it’s a punchy micro-story that says, “Hey, I get you,” in just a few clever words and one well-chosen image.
At their core, memes work because they tap into shared experiences. Whether it’s that sinking feeling on Monday morning, the frustration of dealing with tech mishaps, or the joy of finally understanding a pop culture reference, these memes mirror our own lives with such accuracy that it feels like someone peered into your soul.
I have no idea why this is making my eyes well up. Ah, hay fever season of course, yes that's what it is
And every one of those little girls will be talking about their encounters with the sweet old cop for the rest of their lives!!
I loved my job, but that had zero effect on how I felt when my alarm clock went off.
The Supreme Court gave Trump that "Get Out Of Jail Free" card last fall.
Load More Replies...The balance of over-the-top exaggeration and everyday reality creates a powerful, tongue-in-cheek representation of common life events. The humor also comes from the unexpected twist or clever wordplay that flips a mundane observation into a memorable punchline.
I hope they texted their neighbors some pictures of this, too cute.
That’s not just any fluffy dog. That’s the patient golden retriever. And once, a German shepherd.
Isn't he just a clever pup! I would nap on fluffy dogs too if I could!
Memes often use hyperbole to amplify a minor inconvenience or quirky habit, transforming it into a relatable moment of hilarity. This blend of truth and absurdity resonates widely because it confirms that everyone is sometimes a little bit ridiculous, and that’s not only okay, but downright funny.
You ll young people would be amazed how many old people do games of all sorts, and more than just candy crash (?) on their phones. My generation grew up with Sierra and LucasGames adventures - and we still play these complex ones on our phone
My mom, at 96, is in a Wii bowling league at the retirement center where she lives. It's about the only exercise she can do any more, but she loves it.
Load More Replies...Similar happened in my family about 30 years ago. My uncle bought my grandparents a NES and they loved it so much he ended up getting them a SNES a couple of years later!
My grandparents lived about halfway between our house and school. We kids would always stop by on our way home. Grandma always had plenty of yummy snacks for us, and we'd hang out until near dinner watching reruns of mostly Western shows like Gunsmoke and Rawhide and Bonanza.
Visual elements play a massive part too. The casual, often minimalistic design lets the sharp wit and straightforward language shine through. A quirky image or a familiar facial expression can trigger an instant recognition spark, making the meme instantly shareable and infinitely adaptable to different situations.
I love this. This is perfect. This should be higher. This should be All Of Us. Always.
Every time you open it, it asks you to enter a product key before it will start
Went to a car dealer to buy one of these, and he said "Sorry, it's a subscription."
Another vital ingredient is community validation. Once a meme strikes a chord, it spreads like wildfire, with people sharing it as a badge of belonging. In an endless scroll of digital life, a relatable meme is a quick, unspoken nod to the universal comedy of our daily struggles. It reassures us that we’re not alone in dealing with life’s oddities, and that we all share a secret agreement to laugh at the absurdity together.
reminds me of that one pokemon that believes it can fly and grows up to be a dragon <3 i think it's final evolution is Salamence?
Recently got out kid a cat... Can't find more authentic happiness than that kids face when I told her she was hers.
I can just about hear the father - now son, a puppy is a responsibility, you need to feed him and walk him every day and take care of him ...
I thought kids back then were different from us now...nope...this makes me cry!
Or, as you just stand looking at them, do it TO them. More often than not it induces zoomies.
My husband didn't think "zoomies" was a real thing. Until 2023 when we got our cattle dog. 11am and 14:00 , every day, he experiences zoomies live.
Load More Replies...The classic 'play bow'. I loved when my doggies did this. It was so cute!
In short, what makes a meme relatable is its razor-sharp focus on the simple, universal experiences we all endure. It cuts through the noise of our busy lives with humor, wit, and a dash of absurdity, connecting us instantly over the everyday oddities we might otherwise keep to ourselves. Each meme is a tiny, hilarious mirror reflecting the ridiculousness of modern life, and we can’t help but laugh.
lol...they know they gonna die, so they pretend to have a seizure
Those peeps have seen some things. Some terrible, terrible things.
Reminds me of that children's song, "Five bears in the bed and thr little one said, 'I'm crowded, roll over...'"
Most dogs are intelligent enough to have some sort of sense of what we might call "shame" XD Some dogs cannot abide wearing clothing/costumes and often seem "ashamed" by being dressed up. Some dogs, like my Stilgar, learned early in life that they get fussed over by people WAY more and get a TON of attention if they're wearing clothes, and now he refuses to go on a walk without his baseball cap on XD (he had to be dressed in sweaters when he was a puppy because he was sick with distemper and couldn't keep warm, and EVERYONE gave him so much attention when he wore clothing, lol. He's got quite the doggy ego now!) stillyhat-...d1137a.jpg
Me, a badass chihuahua and she dressed me like this. I'll never be able to show myself at the park again.
Hey, that's his uniform! See the sticker next to him that says, 'Security Guard?'
I was driving home today and Melvin was in the passenger seat and at the stoplight a lady told me my dog is cute. Bcuz Melvin is cute.
I have not seen Melvin, but i can confirm.
Load More Replies...i envy people who have/had cool grandpas. both of mine were gone before i turned 6, with the one i most wish i'd known (my mom's dad) dying before i turned 2, so i don't remember him at all (tho there is a picture of him holding me as a baby). :-(
We've all worked with people who just can't stay out of hot water.
People can eat their slabs of meat any way they please, tyvm. And this is coming from a lifelong vegetarian!
Fully agree! And if you're pregnant you might need it towards the well done end.
Load More Replies...I once ordered a steak rare and the waiter said, that means the chef just sort of waves it over the flames. I said, that's just how I like it.
It's not hard to cook a well done steak that is still juicy. You're just admitting that you're a subpar chef.
As a used-to-be chef, I offer this warning: DON'T order a well done steak. You will get the oldest, least marbled, sorry-assed piece of meat the kitchen has. The thinking being it doesn't matter, you're just going to cook it to oblivion anyway, so who cares? Just an FYI...
A place we used to go said "Well done: Order chicken" and my Papa got SO offended
Sounds like the most fun way to play with your food I've seen in a long time!
Kid is pretty handy with scissors, too. Much better than I am.
Oooh, that is so perfect. I would revel in that each day. Ahhhhhhhh
Pretty sure you're not meant to have your fishtank in direct sunlight.

On a long road trip with my parents, we stopped off in Italy. I thought I'd get pizza, I felt fairly confident ordering, the price was only a little more than I would have expected but not so much to alert me to my error. Prices were by the kilo, I ordered 3 kilos of pizza instead of pizza for 3 people. We were popular on the campsite that evening.
my monkey arms have a new challenge! I can reach the bottom of a regular can!
I cannoli say, I've semolina a lot of benefits myself but some people get all stretched out.
I often fantasise about the old t-orture wracks and my entire spine from the base of my neck to my hips just popping all the way down!!!
Hay there, if you need something more heavy duty, try this - This is the working components of a hay conditioner (a/k/a hay crusher). The counterrotating rollers are rubber-coated steel, about 8' to 12' long depending on the model. The hay is cut, then goes through the conditioner (pulled through the field by a tractor). This cracks the stems and allows the hay to dry faster so you have a better chance of getting it baled before it gets rained on. Hay-Condit...821b5b.jpg
I often think of that Temple Grandin biography where it said she used to use the cow calming device to calm herself. It is a pressurized mechanism that is called the “hug box”.
I saw the film. It’s a comfort thing for sure as my son likes to squish into places

They would be the least of your concerns because you would plummet to your unalive by exceeding the 454 chihuahua weight limit.

I stopped eating there because for some reason their food gives me heartburn.
Yes! They smell so bad when you walk in. I don't understand how people eat there.
Load More Replies...Subway do not use bread. They sell cake. https://www.thenational.scot/news/19927787.subway-bread-classed-cake-due-sugar-content-amid-channel-5-documentary/
That would explain why that stuff gives me indigestion; in Australia they don't usually load the bread with sugar so I've got no tolerance for it.
Load More Replies...ate there recently. not a good decision, the "bread" tasted especially bland.
Around here they're not allowed to call that bread, because of the amount of sugar.
There was a tax case in Ireland which ended with the ruling that the bread was so sugary that it was legally a cake (and taxed as such). Not bread at all!
Worked at subway. Everything is pre-made and comes in bags. The bread is just frozen sticks. Only some of the vegetables are fresh.
These are called pizza rolls. They are a dough-like crust with molten hot lava inside after you microwave them. (pizza sauce and cheese, maybe some meat-like substance)
Load More Replies...I loved these as a kid. Can't stand them as an adult. They aren't the same product.
We had an arf to bark sized dog that only boofed. Really quiet boofs and less than ten times in total.
i had a cat that i thought was mute because she didn't meow for the first several months i had her. come to find out, she wasn't mute, just wasn't much of a talker.
Load More Replies...I have a dog that is half German Shepherd and half Kuchi Dog (livestock guardian breed.) He has his mother's bark (the livestock guardian dog side) XD He rarely barks, but when he does, he sounds like he is at LEAST 20 feet tall and weighs 2,500 lbs. It goes beyond "BOOF". It is a deep earth-rumbling sound. There is a purebred GSD that lives in the house behind ours and she is a stress-barker. When Stilgar gets tired of her barking, he lets out one single "BWORFFK!" and she goes silent instantly XD He'll do it to dogs at the dog park/on walks that are irritating him - barking at him nonstop - one deep woof and silence descends XD It's funny because he's really not much of a barker otherwise, so we know when he DOES bark, it's serious. stilly_on_...9bbea8.jpg
I have probably the quietest pomeranian on the planet. When she does bark, I pay attention. The videos of her little puppy barks are adorable.
that's from the infamous montgomery riverboat brawl of 2023. he and the rest of his racist buddies and wives/gfs got their asses beat for jumping a black security guard who simply asked them to move their boat because it was blocking the riverboat from being able to dock. unfortunately for them, the riverboat (and the pier) was full of black people who did not take kindly to that at all. (one young blaquaman even dived off the riverboat and michael phelpsed it to the melee. lol) it was a definite FAFO moment for this dude and his friends. it was glorious! :-)
Thanks for the enlightening (and hilarious) explanation. He deserved the entire can of whup-a*s he got!
Load More Replies...So curious about the criminal charges here. Slipped when he should have slid?
I never take mine down... then again, it's the rare species I jokingly call the "California Christmas Tree"... XD My mom bought it over 20 years ago and decided she hated it, so I somehow inherited it. It used to light up, but the lights burned out over the years. So I just decorated it for Christmas and leave it that way permanently. My mom keeps trying to get me to get rid of it, but I refuse. I love it now. It's mine. XD xmas_palm-...4003e0.jpg
Our snow shovels (4/12) are still leaning against the garage. Oh..we'll put 'em in, but..
We're almost halfway through Autumn & tomorrow's forecast temperature is 32C (around 90F)
It's barely spring where I am and it's been 39.4C (103F) for the last week 😬
Load More Replies...I, also, keep my Xmas tree up all year in my bedroom, although I do take off the ornaments. #1, because my husband complains so much about taking it down, and #2, I like the fairy lights in the evening while I read or stream a show.
Prevented grease burns, check. Completely ignited front half of my body in process.
Always fry bacon in the n**e so you learn to keep the burner on low.
In the oven, 410° on aluminum foiled cookie sheet. Perfect bacon every time. No mess.
I despise people like this , who seem to think their time is more valuable than everyone else's
maybe it’s not about YOU … then again, based on your attitude, maybe it is …

The furniture does that to my toes all the time. Actually scratch that, the world does that to my entire body.
Same here. I am constantly bruised and scratched up. Sometimes my mother and sister will give me the side-eye like I'm being hit by someone. I'm like no, I just run into every single piece of furniture, hit the walls, trip over the cats, get tripped by the dog, etc XD
Load More Replies...I'm about to do this. I want to go to a reptile expo that's happening at my local fairgrounds, but I have to take care of some stuff in the morning before I go. I'll report back later whether or not I successfully wake up early enough to Do All The Things and still get to see rad snakes and geckos, or whether I have failed at being a grown adult yet again XD
I need to do the same before going out for my brother's birthday tomorrow. If I can do everything and get out the door in time, I will catch the train (saving me petrol money) otherwise I guess I'm driving.
Load More Replies...would be more relatable if it could kick its legs out and in for no reason whatsoever

Untitled Goose Game. Check it out, it is a hilarious game and definitely worth playing (found it on Steam)
This needs to be the Perseverance page on the inspirational calendar - "Keep going. A little coronary artery disease never stopped anyone."
Our IT installed geo locate during Covid. He found one about 100 miles from our town.
I'll admit I LOATHED Crocs with a burning, irrational hatred through most of my life. Then when my older dog Stilgar was a puppy, he was diagnosed with distemper. He couldn't walk for two months and had to be carried outside to go potty several times a day. Sometimes there'd be accidents and we had to bathe him. I bought a pair of Crocs so I could have something to quickly and easily slip on my feet that WEREN'T flipflops. Plus Crocs can just be rinsed off if something gets onto/in them. Now I'm 43 and I have several pairs of Crocs - one at each egress point of the house XD I haven't quite moved on to the point of using Croc Charms, though. That seems one step too far. These ones ARE pretty cute, though...
Krusty Krab from SpongeBob. I still don't get the the joke, though.
