Remember when we all thought Kim Kardashian's selfie broke the internet? Well, today, Rogers' service actually did.

Canada is facing country-wide outages, and so many Rogers customers have been living without wifi or reliable cell service for hours.

While this definitely isn't convenient, with Ontario police even warning residents of the difficulty in reaching 911, some funny memes have been forged from the fires of this debacle.

Starbucks became a service provider 

It's not unusual to see a big lineup at Starbucks, but thanks to the Rogers outage, it turned into a watering hole for remote workers and anyone in desperate need of wifi.

This Twitter user snapped some pics of a busy Starbucks filled with people on their laptops, writing, "In Canada today, @Starbucks takes @rogers spot on list of biggest internet service providers."

Even Rogers probs went to Starbies

A Twitter user poked fun at Rogers, saying even the internet provider probably had to visit their local Starbucks to send out their apology tweet. "ROGERS:'QUICK! Someone run down to #Starbucks and send this!'"

Back to ye olden days

Rogers customers across Canada are getting a taste of simpler times. This Twitter user couldn't help but crack a joke by posting an old-timey photo of a Western family in bonnets captioning it, "When ⁦@Rogers⁩ is your internet provider #rogersoutage."

Rogers is now part of an infamous trio...

"So, Rogers, Air Canada and BC Ferries walk into a bar...," writes a Twitter user. Sheesh.

Shampoo bottles are premium content again 

Andrew Phung hopped in on the fun and tweeted, "Rogers is down. Had to read a shampoo bottle while sitting on the toilet like a chump. Not gonna lie, all these years later, the bottle still holds up."

Rogers sales can't stop, won't stop

Someone spotted a Rogers salesperson and posted a pic of them to Twitter with the caption: "Worst day to be a Rogers salesman #rogersoutage."

People went bannas

Someone went as far as to make a banana phone, tweeting out a pic of it with the caption, "Rogers system down, I am turning to an alternative method of communication. Call me on my banana phone. You know what to do!" Ring, ring, ring...

Bell looked like they were being petty AF

Bell is not passing up a prime advertising opportunity, and this Twitter user is "kind of living for it."

"Bell putting out ads during the Rogers outage is so petty, but I'm kind of living for it," reads their tweet. The tweet in question though is nowhere to be seen on Bell's Twitter page, instead, they, too, look like they're dealing with some service issues of their own.

Rogers hard at work

Someone let their imagination run wild about what Rogers support team is up to. This Twitter user posted a hilarious pic of a worker with their hands on their hips in front of a cabinet of wires captioned, "Rogers trying to fix their outage."
