In order to make a dank meme, it is very useful to know what a dank meme is. Dank memes are bizarre memes, that often use out of fashion or highly unconventional formats, templates and messages. There are many sub categories to dank memes, the most notable being Surreal memes 

and Deep fried memes. Nevertheless, you don't have to be a dank meme connoisseur in order to make one. Many images that circulate online as dank memes, can be made completely unintentionally, like the famed  category of Science diagrams that look like shitposts, for example. Actually, being pure and uncontaminated from shitposting and dank meme aesthetics might be an advantage in making memes that look unique and  have never seen before. The instructions ahead are not a definitive guide for making memes, but a  way that the author found to facilitate your journey in making memes

1- Think about something. It can be anything, from your dog  to the economic crisis in Thailand. Just be creative, free yourself from the need to make important takes. It's a dank meme that you are making. Get an image that may or may not relate directly to the thing you are thinking about and download it for the next step.

2-  Edit - Make your image weird. Screenshot it  on  an awkward zoom, download it on a very poor resolution, pop some ugly Instagram filters on it, deep fry it, add emojis, do anything that will make it look highly ironic, out of fashion, of "poor taste" or profoundly unprofessional.

 

3-Bottom Text -Add some text. Or don't. Your image can be posted without any context. You are engaging in a digital and involuntary avant-garde movement that heavily relies on higher forms of irony. Just enjoy yourself. You could add the first word that comes to your mind, or even just the first letter. You can paste the entire text of Don Quixote inside your 450x450 pixels image, a̷̡̧̢̟͓̖̳̱̺͍͒́͒̏ ̴̧̱̹̟͎͔̫̫̓̑̋́̃̋̋̆̀̌̈̃w̴̤̃̃͗̈à̷̹̻͓͋͝ŷ̴̘̖̜͋͗̇͝ ̴̛̱͂̃̒̂͒̕͘͝t̵̨̛̰͓̠̹͕̟̮̲͕̞͌̊͌̒͒́̄̋̒̚h̴̛͕̼͚̠̰̥̯̩̼̫̐̓͊ä̷̮̣̫́̈́́͂̋͑͝͠t̶̡̠͎̤́͑̀͝͠ ̶̨̭̬͖̹͍̣̺̝̫́̾̆̂͆̉́͝ń̷̨̖̹̲̪̭̹̀̈́́̔ǫ̵̡̯͔͈͇̟̜̯̽̆͛̾̍̒́̄̆̍̕͠t̵̡̪͈̼̝̖̜͎͍̹̰̓͋͊͆͂̈̈͛͌̚ ̷̬͉͙̙͚̬̘̓̍͒͐̍͗̄̀̕ĕ̵̯̱͓̥̝͗̌̇͆̍̐v̷͇̽̓͊̈́̂̈́̊̄́̚͝͝ę̷̠̲̝̫̲̻̪͔̻̥͖̤̔̉̂͐̇͐̇͋͝͝n̸̞̱͙̟̖̹̰̦̱̮̱̊̀̒̒̊̽̾͒̌ ̶̡̳̓̽̚͜͝͠ȁ̶̡͇̺͙̥̘̳̑̇̍͜ǹ̴͙̗̝̺̼̟͙̱̻̼͉͎͑̎c̵͇̰̈̇͛̑̎̆͑͜͝ǐ̶̛̭̲͋̇̓̉̈́̓͂̕̚ȅ̶̛̬̠͆̋̏̏̈̔̽͐͝ņ̵̳̟͇̮͙̃́̓̀͗̓͋͘t̴̨̡̢̠̯͕͔̦͔͋̐̈́̑̈́̆͑̈͆͛̚̚ ̷̢̛͎͙͚͇̬͔͔̮̫̣̥̋̐͋̋̓̈́̓͘ͅg̶̡͍̠̮͉̙̬̺̝̫̮̏͋̆͜o̸̬̣͖̬̦̓̎̈́̅̌̓͌d̵̢̘͍̜̭̳̓̈́̃͂̽̐̐̕̚s̸̳̣̆́́̑̈́͐͂͝ ̵̥̪̖̹̰̰͉̼̣̰̤͖̹͂͑̀̌c̵͖̜̖̙͑̈́͊͛̑̓̋̀̔̕ͅǫ̵̫̪̫͎̘̫̭̫̜̪̐̅̂u̵̧͔̦͗͗̈̄̾͆͛̀̚l̶̪̫̱͕͍͈͔̹̦͔͇͆d̴̢̧̮̜͈̲͕̦͓͖̲͗ͅ ̶̡̼̤̹̙͌͗́̊̊͂́̚ŗ̸̤̺͈͚̦̬͕̿͊̊̓ḙ̶̦̹̟̗̦̠̬̬͋͒́̔͊͛͒̄͜à̷̢̛̉̉͑̈́̂͑̊͂̊̈́̋d̷͎̝͚̩̱͓̞̹̰̐͑̔̓́̓̑̏͌̔̈́̿ You can jus put your name on it. Or maybe a badly recorded audio of a common doorbell. The 21st century has arrived. The idea of specific signs and symbols having specific meanings has its minutes counted. Everything can mean anything, and yet, everything is meaningless. There are 10 years to fix the climate crisis, and the human species probably won't manage to do it. Elon musk and his clan of robots will leave us to die in a deserted wasteland while the multibillionaires colonize mars in their penis-shaped rockets. Just do whatever you want.

4- Post it (or better please, don't) !  In the internet, everything is possible. Believe in your dreams. Zuckerberg or algorithm probably knows about it and might make it come true.
