7:00 am	32 Memes That Motivate For the Week Ahead https://cheezburger.com/22650885/32-memes-that-motivate-for-the-week-ahead Is Monday the most infamous day of the week? While the traditional work calendar dictates that Wednesday is the hump and Friday is sweet, temporary freedom, it's Monday that gets the most press simply for kicking off another seven days of whatever life chooses to throw at us.  That can be an intimidating prospect, even when it's something that you've done literally thousands of times before. It's like an arbitrary pressing of all our built in reset buttons, but without making any of our anxieties or issues magically go away. It seems more than a little unfair. There is no way to make the start of the week feel like the best thing in the world, but there are ways to mitigate the misery. For anyone reading this, it's likely that memes are part of that package. Take a gander at the ones we have below, and hopefully they'll give a welcome distraction. (Comment on this)
8:00 am	The Best Relatable Work Memes This Week (October 16, 2023) https://cheezburger.com/22652165/the-best-relatable-work-memes-this-week-october-16-2023 We're fast approaching a particularly magical time of the year: the time when it's dark outside when we start work, and dark again when we finish. It's like society really wants to punish every single seasonal depression sufferer. As if we don't have enough to be depressed about already. If we were to honestly survey the working population, the amount that dislike their jobs all year round would probably be pretty high. It's not that work is a terrible thing. Many different fields provide necessary services. However, the way in which we work is something that tends to leave everybody but the richest in a state of burnout and/or apathy. It's a blessing that we have the world of memes to give a voice to all our job-based woes, because many don't have the energy or inclination for anything else. They're not the only form of relief that we have, though. (Comment on this)
9:00 am	The Cringiest Parenting Posts of the Week (October 16, 2023) https://cheezburger.com/22656517/the-cringiest-parenting-posts-of-the-week-october-16-2023 If one group of people dominates Facebook, it's the moms. For at least the past ten years, Facebook has been a breeding ground for many things, but moms connecting with people from their past has got to be #1. I can't imagine having no way to contact so many people from my past just to get a website where you can find anyone from your middle school boyfriend to your least favorite professor! If I want to find someone from my past, I can look up their Instagram and pray it isn't private. When my mom was in her twenties, there was nothing of the sort.  I understand why Gen Xers and the generations following and preceding them love Facebook. However, not all of them use it for good. Some use it for evil, but most use it for some form of cringe. These are the cringiest parenting posts we've found this week.  (Comment on this)
10:00 am	Amazon Delivery Driver Calls Out Entitled Customer Requesting He "Do Something Silly" in Front of Ri https://cheezburger.com/22655493/amazon-delivery-driver-calls-out-entitled-customer-requesting-he-do-something-silly-in-front-of-ring In a little over a decade, many of us have become hopelessly dependent on the gig economy. We order our takeout on DoorDash, travel from A to B in Ubers, and get entire grocery shops delivered straight to our door. The catch is that those who provide these services to us are usually underpaid and overworked, as well as struggling in a system that some would argue encourages disrespect. Our convenience comes at a price, and often we don't even realize it.  When one Amazon driver took to Twitter to complain about an audacious delivery note that he received, it was hard to tell whether the customer was being ignorant, or just plain rude. Demanding that the worker did "something silly" in front of his Ring doorbell when he delivered the package, his justification was that it was for the entertainment of his young son. It's fair to say that a lot of people on the internet were not impressed with this request. Would it have been more or less insulting if a tip had been offered as well? (Comment on this)
11:00 am	'OP isnt feeling 22': Swifties hilariously troll Redditor who 'doesn't understand the Taylor Swift https://cheezburger.com/22658053/op-isnt-feeling-22-swifties-hilariously-troll-redditor-who-doesnt-understand-the-taylor-swift As part of a human in a human society, you understand that everybody is unique and has different opinions on things and not everyone is going to like the same things as you. However, we are also a pack-mentality kind of species, so it's also common to want to enjoy the same things that everyone else is. Hence, popular activities, places, and, of course, celebrities.  For example, Taylor Swift. It's not crazy that she has a huge fanbase (known as "Swifties")she curated an inclusive atmosphere that catered to some of the basic wants and needs and thus a lot of people could relate. Plus, her songs are in the classic pop format that people tend to go crazy for.  That being said, that does not mean that Taylor Swift is everyone's thing. One person who is in this demographic took to Reddit to get some help in trying to jump on board the "Taylor Swift phenomenon" because they just didn't get it. The comment section quickly got flooded with hilarious Swifty trolls answering in Swifty puns. There were, however, several sincere responses as well, but the puns are perfectly hilarious for any Swift fan. We added our favorite puns (and sincere responses) below!  (Comment on this)
12:00 pm	Student Memes For High Schoolers Trying to Survive Monday https://cheezburger.com/22660613/student-memes-for-high-schoolers-trying-to-survive-monday Ah, high school. It's the worst time in a person's life, and yet Hollywood wants to make the most movies about it. When you're in it, you can't even tell how bad it is. Your emotions are out of control, but no more out of control than they've been every year since the end of elementary school. You have to grind all day at school and work on homework all night, but that's all you've ever known. Once you get to college or start working full-time, you realize just how rotten your high school experience really was. I know high schoolers don't like adults to say that life gets better after high school because it's so trite, so I won't say that. All I'm saying is that these high school memes might make the long days sitting on a desk listening to boring teachers a bit more tolerable. Just don't get caught scrolling in class.  (Comment on this)
1:00 pm	Shady IT Department Forces Applicants To Quit Their Current Jobs, Immediately Eliminates The Job The https://cheezburger.com/22658565/shady-it-department-forces-applicants-to-quit-their-current-jobs-immediately-eliminates-the-job-they Applying for a new job while you're still employed is a tricky process. It's difficult to know what order you should do things in, especially when a prospective new job wants you to begin as soon as humanly possible. You can risk putting in your two-week notice before you get an offer letter, but that's not very smart. Even if you 100% think you've got the job and just have to sign your offer letter, you should wait until that letter is in front of you and signed before making a rash decision.  One IT worker recently went viral on Reddit for sharing the story of a company stealing and then discarding another company's workers. The shady company would tell their applicant they needed to quit their current job right away so they could start ASAP, and when the applicants did that, the jobs they were applying for suddenly disappeared.  (Comment on this)
2:00 pm	"Beefing with babies": Millennials Roast Gen Z Nostalgia Bait as Evidence That Zoomers Are Becoming https://cheezburger.com/22658821/beefing-with-babies-millennials-roast-gen-z-nostalgia-bait-as-evidence-that-zoomers-are-becoming Only 90s kids will remember how seemingly every generation loves to get older and do nostalgia posting. Boomers have their cringey Facebook memes, and millennials cling to those Instagram accounts that generate all their engagement through whacking a defunct brand of toy or junk food on a 1080x1080 square and calling it a day. Heck, even the perennially forgotten Gen Xers have their moment in the sun with their own 'remember when' type posts. Realistically speaking, it was only a matter of time before the youth of today got in on the act. The oldest Zoomers are now the wrong side of 25, and they've started looking down on the people that are going to take their place. When a Gen Z TikToker made a condescending video claiming that "2000s kids" had far better animated movies than children in 2023, millennials and their younger peers unanimously dismissed the move as cringe. If this is enough to rile up the Zoomer Boomers, then nobody mention Skibidi Toilet around them. (Comment on this)
3:00 pm	20+ Soup Memes That Celebrate the King of Edible Liquids https://cheezburger.com/22660869/20-soup-memes-that-celebrate-the-king-of-edible-liquids There are so many different positive qualities about the miracle that is soup. It's comforting, it can be made in just about every flavor under the sun, and it's one of the easiest ways of sneaking extra vegetables into our diet (even if we're fussy). It's also a great excuse to eat half a loaf of bread, and act like that's kind of healthy.  Just like diehard stoners with weed, soup devotees will tell you that if you don't like soup, you just haven't tried the right type yet. Some may accuse the average soup lover of acting a like a cult member, but can you blame them? When a food type inspires memes like this, you know it's got to be good. As those of us heading into fall and winter seek out the food to make our seasonal blues go away, soup is near the top of the list. The humor is just here to remind us of that.  (Comment on this)

12:00 pm	Entitled Mom Allows Her Four Kids to Blare Loud iPads on Airplane, Flight Attendant Saves The Day Wi https://cheezburger.com/22629125/entitled-mom-allows-her-four-kids-to-blare-loud-ipads-on-airplane-flight-attendant-saves-the-day Nobody likes it when someone blares their music publicly for everybody to listen to. Even if you have your noise-canceling headphones, it's annoying and attention-seeking behavior that gets on most people's nerves. I believe some people do it for attention, but the vast majority do it because they don't care about how other people perceive them. They're just in their little world and don't care if their choices annoy people for however long.  Parents especially are guilty of allowing this to happen with their children's iPads. Many parents tend to tune the noise out in their homes because it's constant, and if they listen to Bluey intently for hours, they'll go insane. But when they're in public, I believe parents should be smart enough to turn off the sound of their kid's games or not allow them to watch loud television in public places. One mom tried to let her kids blast their iPads on a crowded plane, and a thoughtful mom and flight attendant were not about to let that happen.  (Comment on this)
1:00 pm	20 Skeletor Memes Until Next Time https://cheezburger.com/22628101/20-skeletor-memes-until-next-time I will be honest; I am not up on all of the Skeletor lore. I know that he was the main villain to He-Man and that he's the star of a meme that feels like it's been going on forever but has actually only existed for two years. I will focus on the latter because, despite what you've heard, I have little patience to discuss Saturday Morning Cartoons from the 80s in any real detail.  Skeletor Facts is a meme where Skeletor presents a strange or disturbing fact and promptly runs away to the tune of "Until Next Time." It's a great way for meme people to share a fact that's been on their minds without just stating the fact with no funny context. It feels like a meme from 2010, and that's what I love about it! If you like Skeletor because you're an 80s kid or you just like a good meme, these Skeletor memes will hopefully suit your fancy.  (Comment on this)
2:00 pm	'Like, who all is gonna be there?': Guy tries to spook American women about being drafted, women cla https://cheezburger.com/22628613/like-who-all-is-gonna-be-there-guy-tries-to-spook-american-women-about-being-drafted-women-clap-back Oh, to be a woman! It's grander than society wants it to be. With every excruciatingly controlling political thing after another they put on women, you'd think we'd be a bunch of bummers. But we shine bright, baby! And boy, do we love to laugh.  Recently, some guy on TikTok made a video trying to spook American women about being drafter. Saying that women between 18-26 years old aren't safe from being drafted into the military. Instead of women responding in fear, they trolled and it is comedy gold. One women stitched the video saying she can't go right now because she just woke up and was going to wash her hair, but to let her know about it later and if she's feeling up for it she'll totally go. The comments to this stick became a beautiful hodgepodge of women going along with the riff. "Like, who all is gonna be there?" "If my mom drives us, can you're pick us up?" "What are we wearing though?" And more and more hilarious responses.  Can you imagine these young women getting a call from the government (ok, first of all, who still answers unknown numbers??) telling them they are going to be drafted and they responded with, "Awww, thanks for the invite, babe. Not really my vibe, but hope you have fun! Send pics" and then *click *, they hang up? THAT IS COMEDY GENIUS, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY.  Check out 30+ of our favorite responses below.

Spooktober is a beautiful time filled with black cats, orange pumpkins, and gore galore! It's a dream for anyone who celebrates Halloween. Sure, sure, you get all those houses with lights and whatever for Christmas, but Halloween needs to get more rep for their decorations. I mean, we've got the 12foot skeleton and now Lewis! Please tell me you've heard about Lewis. He is a tall creepy figure with a pumpkin head that so sultry says, "I am not a jack-o-lantern! My name is Lewis." He's become a celebrity and everyone is on the search to snap a pic with Lewis. The decorations are so fun they fill entire houses with them and people pay money to walk through them and get spooked! It's honestly the best time. So if you love to get into the Halloween spirit and wish (and maybe you do) to have your spooky decor up all year round, these memes are for you! (Comment on this)
4:00 pm	15+ First World Anarchists Who Don't Care About Breaking the Rules https://cheezburger.com/20555269/15-first-world-anarchists-who-dont-care-about-breaking-the-rules Let's face it, the majority of us lead rather conventional lives. Our daily routines are dictated by countless predictable societal norms. Go to work! Find a life partner! Don't run that red light! These are the rules we live by, often more out of obligation than genuine enjoyment. However, there's a certain freedom in acknowledging that we don't have to conform if we're willing to accept the consequences. As long as our choices don't jeopardize the well-being of others, why should we feel compelled to obey every guideline? While there are clear advantages to conformity and respecting the law, true experiences often lie in bending a few rules. No one understands this better than the mischievous first-world anarchists, who inject a sense of excitement into their lives by pushing the boundaries. It's not a path for everyone, but the very act of testing these limits is exhilarating enough to make you want to try. (Comment on this)
5:00 pm	Mom Slides Down Giant Slide Holding Her Babies Hand, Dangerously Jostles Baby https://cheezburger.com/22634245/mom-slides-down-giant-slide-holding-her-babies-hand-dangerously-jostles-baby Did you know that slides are the most dangerous playground equipment for children? Most of the injuries on slides aren't caused by kids but by parents trying to go down with them. Many parents think that if they slide down a slide with their kid in their lap, it will be safer, but that's how kids' limbs can get stuck on the side of the slide and break. Fun stuff, I know. Basically, a good rule of thumb is that if a kid is too young to go down a slide by themselves, they shouldn't be going at all.  Unfortunately, not every parent has the common sense not to go down a giant slide holding their baby's hand, putting them at serious risk bodily harm. One mother decided that would be the idea way for her and her baby to enjoy an indoor amusement park, and it's simultaneously terrifying and hilarious to behold. (Comment on this)
7:00 pm	Memes That You Should Look at Right Now https://cheezburger.com/22629637/memes-that-you-should-look-at-right-now I'm usually not super susceptible to peer pressure. However, I've recently fallen down a hole that I'm happy to stay in, and that's TV show recommendation peer pressure. I was hanging out with my friends this Friday, and they talked about the HBO series Girls. The conversation lasted so long, and I got so frustrated with my inability to participate that I watched the entire first season of Girls this weekend. It's actually pretty good! Who knew that a critically acclaimed show that everybody is rewatching right now actually had merit?  I have such a difficult time watching TV because I usually don't like new shows that much. I can't stand the thought of wasting my life watching hours and hours of a mediocre program. I'm quite lucky that my college friends haven't kicked me off of their Max account so I can be on the pulse of resurging cultural conversation only HBO shows could inspire. Thank you, peer pressure and peer support! (Comment on this)
7:00 am	Memes To Accompany Your Morning Munchies https://cheezburger.com/22625285/memes-to-accompany-your-morning-munchies I don't know about y'all, but I'm a breakfast girlie. If there's ever a time of the day when I'm going to go out and get myself a little treat, it's between the hours of 7-10 AM. I haven't always been a big breakfast food person (I was one of those kids who would body a leftover Domino's pizza for breakfast), but I've never been a person who can just skip breakfast and function normally. If you're one of those divas who gets sick if they eat too early in the morning, I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm enjoying my chicken fried steak and eggs before the sun comes up, thank you very much.  Breakfast can be a lonely meal, especially if you live alone and have to haul yourself to work every day! You don't have enough time to watch an episode of Frasier to accompany your eaating, so take a second to scroll through these morning memes.  (Comment on this)
8:00 am	20+ Programming Memes for Coding Geeks (October 15, 2023) https://cheezburger.com/22623237/20-programming-memes-for-coding-geeks-october-15-2023 I know all the smug "learn to code" people are annoying and give programmers a bad reputation, but I do understand a little bit of the smugness. Everyone who has worked with computers in the past fifty plus years has had a hand in building the frameworks that so many of us consider essential today. There's a reason why a lot of people are taking a technical understanding of computers more seriously, and it's not just because they're seeing dollar signs. This stuff is only going to become more important. As far as we're concerned, a bigger pool of coding afficionados can only mean one thing: we're going to get a heck of a lot more programming memes. We support that, and if you're reading this it's likely you do to. It's a match made in heaven! With any luck, you can relate to the stuff that's going on below this intro. There's plenty more where that came from. (Comment on this)
9:00 am	The Funniest Disney Memes of the Week (October 15, 2023) https://cheezburger.com/22613253/the-funniest-disney-memes-of-the-week-october-15-2023 I have a Disney sin I need to confess. Last weekend, I watched Hocus Pocus for the very first time in my life. I know, please don't hang me like a witch for this, I understand it's totally unacceptable that it's taken me this long. If it's any consolation, I thought that the movie was excellent, and I totally understand why it has become such a cult classic. I was lucky enough to watch Hocus Pocus in the movie theatre for the 30th anniversary, and I felt completely transformed back to 1993. I loved the badly-performed teen-bully characters. Kid's movies love to shoehorn bullies as mini obstacles before the real conflict begins, and I eat it up every time. I was surprised by how many times the young protagonist's virginity was brought up; it got funnier and funnier as the movie went on, especially in the closing line. And, of course, what can I say that hasn't already been said about the Sanderson sisters? I'm afraid their iconicness defies description, so it's time to move on to some slightly less iconic Disney memes.   (Comment on this)
10:00 am	Wildest Posts From the Depths of Facebook (October 15, 2023) https://cheezburger.com/22614021/wildest-posts-from-the-depths-of-facebook-october-15-2023 We're currently living through an opinion sharing epidemic. No matter what happens or how much we know about it, us social media users feel compelled to give our knee jerk reaction out to everyone on the internet.  There are multiple reasons why this has become a trend, and one of them is Facebook. We've all gawped in a horrified way at our screens while watching a high school acquaintance or distant family member go on a deranged rant on the platform of the Zuck, and I think this is something likely to continue for some time yet. That being said, Facebook isn't all bad. It can also offer up some entertaining moments, which may or may not be slightly horrifying at the same time. As TikTok slowly takes over everything, it's fun to remember when words ruled and people other than your grandma regularly posted status updates. Those were some crazy times. (Comment on this)
