Gas Is Expensive. Memes Are Free

By: Rylan B.

Please tell me you also looked at gas prices and just stood there for a second.

Filling up your tank now feels like making a financial decision with long-term consequences.

Before we start calculating miles like it’s 2008 again..here are monday memes.

1. SpongeBob Deep Cleaning The Bathroom

Scientists still can't explain what causes this phenomenon.

You'll spend three weeks walking past the same toothpaste stain. You'll see it every day. You'll acknowledge its existence. You'll even make eye contact with it.

But then one random Tuesday at 10:36 PM, your brain suddenly activates.

Now you're scrubbing baseboards.

You're moving furniture.

You're cleaning places that haven't seen daylight since the Obama administration.

2. My Opps Hate Me Because I'm A Sweetheart

Some people have enemies because they stole money.

Some people have enemies because they started drama.

Meanwhile you're lying in bed trying to figure out why someone dislikes you when your last major crime was taking too long to respond to a text because you got distracted by a Wikipedia article about abandoned malls.

The investigation remains ongoing.

3. Hello Jesus, Put Your Sandals On And Come Down Here

There are levels to emergencies.

Flat tire? Manageable.

Lost wallet? Unfortunate.

Someone sends a screenshot so insane that your first thought isn't calling the police, HR, or your therapist.

Your first thought is:

"Yeah we're gonna need upper management for this one."

4. Minion Pool Meme

Every generation claims they're protecting children from confusion.

Meanwhile children are currently growing up in a world where refrigerators have Wi-Fi, AI can make videos of dinosaurs starting podcasts, and this image exists.

Kids aren't confused.

Adults are confused.

Kids will look at this for three seconds and immediately continue playing Roblox like nothing happened.

5. Trix Yogurt

This isn't yogurt.

This is a time machine.

One glance at this container and suddenly you're seven years old again watching cartoons from six inches away from the TV while your mom yells from another room that you're ruining your eyesight.

Life was simple.

Your biggest financial concern was whether your Book Fair money could stretch far enough to buy both the cool eraser and the dinosaur poster.

Now look at us.

Paying bills and comparing insurance plans.

Tragic.
