October is when everyone you know drives an hour to pay a farmer to sit on a hay bale. This year’s pumpkin patch photo involves holding a pumpkin up to the lens until it swallows your friend’s head, which is finally my good angle. A new pile of memes of the day lands every night around now, and last Thursday’s batch is still up if you need a warmup. The pumpkin coffee goes first.

Tonight’s memes of the day, fresh off the hay bale

That is the whole night, and yes, I will now scroll in bed with my phone six inches from my face like a professional. If you want more spooky season memes before the porch skeletons go up, there are years of Halloween memes in the archive and plenty of relatable memes hiding behind them.
