There is one morning every October when the heat kicks on for the first time and the whole house smells like a toaster with a secret. I stood in the hallway last night sniffing a vent like a bloodhound, decided it was probably fine, and went back to bed. Here are 25 fresh memes, same as every morning, and yesterday’s batch is still up if you missed it. Scroll before the smoke alarm weighs in.

Fresh memes, served before the coffee kicks in

The smell is gone now, which means either the dust burned off or my nose quit, and I am not looking into it. That’s the meme dump for this morning: the Nightcap lands tonight at 7 with another round, and a new Morning Commute shows up here tomorrow. If you need more funny pictures before then, the animal memes are where I go when people are too much, and the Halloween memes are open for the season. If one of these got you, send it to the coworker who will pretend not to laugh.
