# 100K Memes Dataset

Hi!
This is a massive collection of 100,000 haha (un)funny meme images packed into a 15GB .7z archive. Think of it as a time capsule of internet culture that was used to create that "top 100000 memes" video on YouTube
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D__PT7pJohU).

## What's Inside? 

This is basically a huge dump of memes collected over two days from:
- Various existing meme datasets
- About 50,000 images manually scraped from VK.com
- A mix of English and Russian memes

The images are simply numbered (like 1.jpg, 3453.jpg) without any descriptions or captions (and yes, some might be broken - that's the nature of bulk downloads)

## Can I Use It?

Absolutely! The whole point of memes is sharing, so here's what you can do with it:
- Train your AI models
- Making fun of r/ComedyCemetery like memes from 2015 (lol)
- Create your own meme projects
- Whatever else you can think of!

Just one tiny request: when you use the dataset, drop a message in the Community section on Hugging Face. I'd love to know what cool stuff you're building!

## Technical Details

### Structure
- One big .7z archive
- ~100,000 images
- Mixed formats (jpg, png, etc.)
- Sequential numbering
- No captions or metadata
- Raw and unfiltered

### Collection Process
It was pretty simple:
- 2 days of intensive collection
- No content filtering (so yeah, you might find some non-meme stuff in there)
- Grabbed everything I could from VK.com and existing datasets

## Warning!!!11!

Few things to keep in mind:
- Some images might be broken
- Content is completely unfiltered
- You'll find both English and Russian memes
- Not everything might technically be a meme
- Quality varies wildly

## Recommendations

Pro tips for using this dataset:
- Check the content before using it in your projects
- Maybe add your own content filtering
