Real-Life Memes..?

[Ben]

This is a super random question/thought, but have you ever encountered a meme in real life?

I ask this because as I was driving today, I happened to notice a groundhog standing by the road, upright but twisted around to look at my car, basically the same as the classic gif below. The moment my brain registered the connection, my phone notification went off playing the Metal Gear Solid alert sound. I lol'd. I wish I'd been in my other car that actually has a dash cam, but alas.

What's the closet you've gotten to internet humor without a screen in the way?

Isn’t that a prairie dog?

That's just an African groundhog.

Edit; fuck I was thinking of meerkat...

Prairie dogs are American

Prairie dogs are American

I realized after posting I was thinking of meerkat.

Point being, I said LIKE that. Fat rodent of varying flavor looks surprised.

Just your typical People of Walmart variety memes

That’s all I got. Baltimore isn’t a meme. It’s just a shit show.

I snapped this photo 6 weeks ago. It made me giggle. No one else was amused.

Glad I quit soda, it's way too expensive.

 

[Jawneh]

That's the per tooth price included

 

[Nae'blis]

That better be the best damn soda ever.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Tea is the way.

Can't do hot drinks, I tried so many teas because some were really cool with how they steeped. I have a coworker that goes to Japan and gets some really artisanal ones that bloom into flowers, too.

Unfortunate. Tea is greatness.

Baltimore's Finest got me laughing

Baltimore's Finest got me laughing

It’s STILL there, they replace it whenever the adhesive wears off. I wonder what the Health Department thinks when they do inspections…

I don't have a picture of it, but there was some meme I saw once which was a message spray painted on one of those concrete barriers they use in road construction a lot. The next day I was driving around town and saw it in irl! Luckily it was just after a stop sign so I wasn't going very fast, it took me so much by surprise I probably would've wrecked otherwise.

I guess it shouldn't be that surprising. There are probably billions of memes and those pictures of things have to find from somewhere. It was like the first time you run into a teacher in the grocery store, though.
