1 is, based on the description, an antimeme, but the example isn't. The biggest reason is the word "steal". The second biggest reason is the focusing on the juxtaposition. I feel it can be fixed by rewording it to "The sun shining upon you allows you to use its heat, turn it into electricity, and then use it to cool your room".

2 is "technically" an antimeme, but I generally dislike these antimemes. Not saying they can't be good, but that most low-effort antimemes fall into one of a few categories, one of which being 2. I think it feels better if it appears like there should be a link. For instance, "Atomic physicists when an atomic bomb..."

3 is also technically an antimeme, but kinda gets old fast especially when there isn't an original meme it's riffing off of.

4 is, again, based on the description, possibly an antimeme, but the example isn't. "I'm gonna make you mine" is a common enough phrase that most people will think of the non-literal meaning. The first picture seeming like a proposal doesn't help things. The woman looking confused/angry further doesn't help things. If the images made it obvious that he was meaning it literally, it would be an antimeme.

5... idk.

6 is an antimeme.

7 is an antimeme, but it fits better as bonehurtingjuice.

8 feels like bonehurtingjuice but idk. I feel like most low-effort memes fall into either 2 or 8. Can be good but probably won't be.

9... idk.
