30 Memes That Nailed The Struggle And Charm Of Midwest Life This Week (July 31, 2025)

I’m born and raised Midwest. If you saw me, it’d be obvious. If you talked to me, you’d know even faster. I’d probably apologize for absolutely nothing, then say “ope,” and follow that with another apology for saying “ope.”

It’s a special place. Maybe I’m biased, but if you live here, work here, or have ever scraped ice off your windshield with a rewards card, these funny memes will hit home. Or at least hit like a lukewarm Casey’s breakfast pizza…comforting and weirdly perfect.
