Edit: Both styles have advantages. Wood homes are cheaper and faster to build, modify, or demolish. Updating such homes with wiring & plumbing is also far easier. By comparison European homes are far more difficult to modify.
Further Edit: It seems people don't understand the meaning of the words "tend to", and somehow believe they translate as "always". I'm not knowledgeable or arrogant enough to claim mastery of how every European community builds homes. There's homes built in the US out of concrete. There's homes built in Europe out of wood. The TREND is otherwise, and that's what the image is pointing out. Stop being pedantic.

#3 Explain It Peter. I Have No Context
Peter Griffin is a famously dim-witted and hilariously reckless fictional character and the protagonist of the American animated sitcom Family Guy.
That is a huge part of why the ‘Explain it Peter’ page works so well. Because he’s not exactly a rocket scientist, and he doesn’t use a bunch of big, fancy college words to break things down. He explains the joke exactly how he sees it — in the simplest, most straightforward terms possible.
To the confused everyday user, it’s a genuine relief because the explanation is stripped of all the confusing internet jargon. The point is, if a guy who once got his head stuck in a banister can understand the meme, then anyone can.

The artwork is the two clocks in the image, which start in sync. As time goes on, the clocks with inevitably become out of sync, most likely when one of the clocks batteries give out. This represents Felix and his partner Ross, Ross having passed away from AIDS.
Felix also passed away from AIDS. Felix did multiple pieces on this theme, I will respond to this with two of my favorite works of his.
Edit: I can’t believe I forgot this, but we do have this excerpt of a letter that he wrote to Ross prior to them passing, with a small drawing of two clocks: “Don’t be afraid of the clocks, they are our time, the time has been so generous to us. We imprinted time with the sweet taste of victory. We conquered fate by meeting at a certain TIME in a certain space. We are a product of the time, therefore we give back credit where it is due: time. We are synchronized, now forever. I love you.”

The ironic meme format started around 2018 on platforms like Reddit and Facebook, after a user noticed that a lot of modern internet humor made absolutely zero sense to the average person. They were so layered in irony and inside jokes that people were genuinely confused.
In this format, an additional panel is added to a humorous image with character Peter Griffin explaining the joke. Today, there are several subreddits and spin-off communities actively using this format.
#7 Explain It Peter
Nietzsche's theoretical "Übermensch," an aspirational model for humanity, wasn't a traditional "strongman," or a superhuman by way of genetics or social capital, or even a "man" at all.
Nietzsche's Übermensch was a self-possessed person who developed their own values and morality regardless of prevailing or outdated "wisdom" and rejected religious "other-worldliness," finding meaning in the here-and-now of life on Earth vs. learned helplessness and obedience with the hope of a supernatural reward after passing.

GM_Nate:
yes, it's basically the vacuum cleaner of the solar system.
The format became so popular that users started branching out into other pop-culture figures. Now, commenters will routinely answer posts as Peter’s doctor, Quagmire, or Joe Swanson, altering the tone of the explanation to match that character’s specific voice. For example, Quagmire making it inappropriately dirty, or Joe yelling the explanation in aggressive all-caps.
A spin-off YouTube series (Cartoon Fight Club) was also created where an AI-voiced version of Peter Griffin becomes a supervillain. He accidentally destroys entire universes and eliminates a hundred other meme characters just by explaining the jokes of the episodes they are in.

TheWesternDevil: This is what happened to my mother after battling cancer for 2 years. She was told the treatments were working extremely well, she was doing great for a week, and then she declined overnight, and passed away 3 days later.
#12 Explain It Peter, What Is This About?
The internet is brimming with content, and it’s completely normal to feel lost at times.
It usually happens because of context collapse, when multiple completely different audiences collide into a single online space.
In the real world, a joke meant for your coworkers wouldn’t be told to your grandmother. Online, however, highly specialized medical humor, hyper-local political facts, and even niche subculture references are thrown onto a single timeline without much background info.

American woodlands are vast, untouched, dangerous places. Sizeable mountain ranges, often minimal infrastructure, access. Low pop density= further from help. Substantial dangerous flora and fauna, including large predators such as bears.

Research shows that modern memes are deeply layered cultural artifacts that constantly mutate.
A single meme template might combine a '90s cartoon, or a snippet of a song from last week. These posts evolve and expire so quickly that if you haven’t logged onto social media for a certain amount of time, you miss the building blocks required to understand the punchline.

Online communication relies on weird metaphors and abstract symbols that completely strip away the normal context we use to understand each other.
This is getting even worse with the latest trend of “vagueposting” — when people share incredibly cryptic, dramatic, or inside jokes without giving any background info.
Instead of using social media to connect, the vagueposting format turns everyday posts into a tool for drama, confusion, and gatekeeping.
That is exactly why communities that help break down complex jargon are a lifesaver.

#20 I Just Don't Get It. "Explain It Peter"
At its core, the internet was built to connect us, and experts believe that memes are supposed to be the ultimate universal language.
According to a study, internet humor functions as the “glue of digital communities.” When a major global event happens, memes act as a unifying force, providing a collective release and building emotional bridges. They help foster a deep sense of belonging across cultural and linguistic barriers.
In that sense, trying to understand memes isn’t a waste of time… it’s actually how we stay connected to the world around us.
