Are we going the JRPG route for cat cafes? Fine, here's my idea:

Louis Wain Cat Cafe, but it's basements instead of floors
An image sequence of Louis Wain's cat paintings, starting from the top relatively tame and picturesque, and ending completely psychedelic and scary at the bottom. The image filename reads "JRPG storyline"

Once you hate someone, everything they do is offensive. "Look at this bitch eating those crackers like she owns the place"

Shame on CNN for "partially obscuring" images of the bodies.

Revealing the truth that an oppressive apartheid state is trying to hide is more important than "protecting" us from graphic imagery.
Bulldozed bodies in shallow, unmarked graves. circa 1945

Behold,
A two-panel comic with an exaggerated artstyle: On the first panel feature Pokemon Trainer Brendan and Charizard. Charizard makes a karate pose. Brendan says "Think you can beat my dragon Poke'mon!? Mister your on!! Charizard I choose you!!" On the second panel, the Dragonborn from Skyrim yells "Fus Ro Dah!" and cuts off Charizard's head with a sword, while Brendan is looking distraught from a distance.

Post a random picture, or else everything will go bad in September
A two-panel meme comic that combines two famous notifications from the game Dwarf Fortress and two back-to-back photographs from the results of the 2017 Catalan Independence Referendum. On the first panel, a crowd of people is cheering excitedly with arms stretched up in the air with the caption "Raw adamantine! Praise the miners! (Press Enter to close window)". On the second panel, the same crowd has stopped cheering and has surprised/disappointed expressions on their faces, while the caption reads "You have discovered an eerie cavern. The air above the dark stone floor is alive with vertices of purple light and dark, boiling clouds. Seemingly bottomless glowing pits mark the surface. (Press Enter for more)"

shoulda just played the video game
an old photo edit I found on the internet. an elderly woman with a stern expression on her face is holding a PS2 game case that's edited to read in Gothic font "Hegel: The video game" and an image of Hegel below. Behind the elderly woman, a much younger woman (aged 15-25) is giving two thumbs up with an anxious smile on her face

The quote: "I don't wanna take my time going to work, I got a motorcycle and a sleeping bag and ten to fifteen girls. What the hell I wanna go off and go to work for? Work for what? Money? I got all the money in the world. I'm the king, man. I run the underworld, guy. I decide who does what and where they do it at. What am I gonna run around like some teeny bopper somewhere for someone else's money? I make the money,man. I roll the nickels. The game is mine. I deal the cards." misattributed to Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Get in the dang robot, Shinji

same energy
The cooler Daniel meme. Among a series of photographs in a yearbook, two of seemingly the same guy: the first one is captioned "Daniel" where he is smiling, the second one is captioned "The cooler Daniel" where he has a serious face and wearing sunglasses.
