Memphis on the internet.

Memphis Things

Memphis Memes 901 asked Facebook folks last week, “What’s the most Memphis thing you’ve seen?”

There were potholes, busted cars, pretty sunsets, souped-up cars, cars with drive-out tags, and more. Local slang was on display, too. See above and below.

2023 Weather

Posted to X by National Weather Service Memphis

The National Weather Service Memphis created a cool story map outlining all the major weather events of 2023.

Remember the three rounds of ice we got in January and February last year? That was fun. Wind blew hard. Tornados threatened. Drought drained the river. It’s an interesting and scary look back.

MEMernet: Child Waxing, Penny, and Meme Perfection

Posted to X by Memphis Police Department

Memphis on the internet.

Child Waxing

The MEMernet was aghast this weekend over a viral TikTok that allegedly showed “a minor performing a wax on a nude female,” according to Memphis Police Department (MPD).

According to Memphis Reddit users, the video showed a 7-year-old that performed 24 Brazilian waxes on women in one day at a local salon.

MPD’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force was made aware of the images and an investigation is now underway. Police said, “DO NOT screen save or forward these images to law enforcement or anyone. Please do not download or upload these images in any way.”

File further complaints on the incident to The Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678 or Cyber Tip Report.

Penny

A fake statement announcing Penny Hardaway’s split with the University of Memphis started circulating on X earlier this week. It came after a blowout loss to Southern Methodist University last Sunday that had a frustrated Penny ripping apart his players.

MEMernet: Michael Myers, Old Couch/New Landmark, and an MPD Drop-Top

A roundup of Memphis on the World Wide Web.

Halloween Hitcher

Something is underway at a yard close to the corner of Young and East Parkway. New items — like a couch and lottery signs — have been arranged there, and more stuff arrives every day it seems. A neighbor there amped up the weird over the weekend apparently dressing like Michael Myers, holding a trick-or-treat bucket, and trying to hitch a ride.

Old is new

“A new Memphis landmark was spotted today,” wrote Reddit user u/Stilekid.

Drop-Top Cop

This convertible Memphis Police Department car was spotted in Memphis sometime this weekend and posted to the Memphis Memes 901 Facebook group. It wracked up an astonishing 761 shares and comments that ranged from explanations (that it was a parade car or had been seized in civil forfeiture) to “That is so Memphis.”

Hack Memphis

Last week, Reddit user runfreedog asked the internet for pro-tips or life hacks for living in Memphis.

Memphisvol8668: If you want to feel alive, drive in the lane closest to the sidewalk on Poplar in either direction.

KimJongHard-un: Or, alternatively, ride in the middle lane between a MATA bus and an 18-wheeler.

PenBandit: There’s no such thing as jaywalking in Memphis. If there’s no traffic, go on and cross. No one cares. We joke about turning your flashers on to park anywhere. This is not true. The parking enforcement people Downtown are some MFing, grade-A ninjas.

plentyinsane: If you grocery shop on weekends, do it (Sunday) morning when everyone is at church.
