Here at Digg, we try our best to cover the most important and confounding memes that come across the timeline. But the web is littered with tons of great memes that never quite hit the mainstream and instead just bounce around the weird corners of Twitter or Reddit. Enter our recurring feature, Memes, Ranked.
This week, we're naming rocks, getting tired of Jada Pinkett Smith "revealing" things and enjoying Pete Davidson playing a Swiftie.
3. Name a rock
The Meme
Every once in a while you see a post that makes you let out an honest chuckle and contemplate, "why didn't I think of that?" X user @kcjj_04, who I can only assume is a fan of petrology and all things rocks, put out a feeler: "Gun pointed at your head, name a type of rock."
Honestly, I think sedimentary is the only name that pops up into my head — and if you gave me a few more minutes, I'd probably throw in a made-up name or two — but people on X were far more creative with their replies.

2. Jada Pinkett Smith
The Memes
Ever since the infamous Will Smith-Chris Rock slap at last year's Oscars, rumors and speculation have swirled online about the intimate details of Will and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's relationship.
The gossip and social media chit-chat has only intensified with the release of Jada's new memoir, and recent interviews in which she delves into some of the revelatory disclosures made in the book. After more than a year of Jada-Will Smith discourse, though, we're getting tired — and this was the general sentiment across the memes that have emerged.

Pete Davidson as a Swiftie
The Meme
Former "Saturday Night Live" alum and every celebrity's short-term boyfriend Pete Davidson hosted the "SNL" Season 49 premiere last week. The show took a long hiatus because of the WGA and SAG strikes, but it's back now, and with it comes memes.
Pete was in a sketch about the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift relationship dominating NFL coverage, and he played a sideline reporter who was more interested in tracking their whereabouts than the Jets-Eagles game (which the Jets won, by the way).
The following memes consist of Pete in a pink fuzzy hat and a microphone, which is just about the most wholesome thing in the news right about now.

And if you're hungry for more memes, here's the last edition of "The Week's Best Memes," which featured a threatening movie trailer teaser, Cam from "Modern Family's" press shots and the glorious return of Posh and Becks.
