The Mashable Meme Machine is a daily look at five hilarious viral topics spreading across the web right now.
Time for your daily ride on the strugglebus to your ever-loving Meme Machine. We folks here at Mashable do love a good laugh, and thankfully our comedy is sustained by our constant obsessing over the Internet. These nuggets have the pop to emerge from their own weird corners of the web, and produce some chuckles along the way.
Today's theme seems to be conflict. Conflict with the government, conflict with animals, and even conflict with ourselves (and mismanagement in a resources-based viral iPhone game). So, time to enjoy a fancy bit of schadenfreude and consume some tasty memes!

Reddit has been upvoting some great pieces of material discussing SOPA and this cartoon is no exception. With a hearty helping of pop culture in the form of that scene in the original Superman where Christopher Reeve angry-flies around the Earth to prevent his lady-love, Lois Lane, from biting the dust. Humor aside, it is eerily accurate about what the affects of SOPA could do to our Internet lives.
Leave it to Reddit to drop a bunch of topical comics before blacking out.
I remember the first time I ever encountered Paperboy. I was six, and played the arcade version in the back of The Old Spaghetti Factory for two seconds before I threw seven papers into the bushes, flipped over a fire hydrant, and ended my game. I wished then that I could toss a grenade instead of those pesky papers, and it seems that someone has finally answered my prayers.
YouTube user daneboe, better known as "The Guy Behind the Annoying Orange," has unleashed another take on his long-running series, "Videogame Mash-Ups." What would happen if a military ops specialist had to deliver papers to a busy neighborhood? Well, I can tell you right now it's NSFW.
Sometimes babies are cute, and sometimes you see someone's spawn and think to yourself, "Is that human?" Fortunately, since loving little ones is hardwired into our brains for evolutionary reasons, that doesn't happen that often.
That is, unless you're a Renaissance Baby. This curated Tumblr unabashedly spotlights the most grotesque of toddlers from centuries ago. It'll leave you thinking: "Is that terrible artistry, or just an ugly baby?"
In New Zealand, three-year-old Sophie stared down a pissed-off eight-year-old lion as it attacked her through the glass at a local zoo. Sophie didn't move a muscle, and used the power of The Force to calm the lion down and make it back off.
A truckload of news videos, screengrabs and GIFs shared the story of this little girl's courage and undeniable swagger. Better watch out, Kanye!
Do you spend your commute feverishly playing Tiny Tower? Do you mentally kick yourself every time you accidentally evict someone instead of changing their job? What about spending bux on a construction site only to get the ever-helpful construction VIP two seconds later? Frustrated Tiny Tower kid knows your pain, and he's upset too.
Special shout out to Twitter user @_helloClarice, who pointed us toward this meme.
