Gardeners, dirt enjoyers, and people brainwashed by an absurd TikTok trend involving cute dogs and voice AI, rejoice! Today is a very special event. That’s right, we are here to celebrate World Soil Day. Good old fashioned dirt might be humble, but we all have a lot to thank it for. It is what grows a lot of the food we eat, and gives us stuff to build on and with. It’s the main reason our ancestors crawled out of the ocean all those aeons ago, for Pete’s sake. 

The one thing we must conclude from all of this is that we should be paying it some well-earned respect. It might be annoying to trudge through when it’s raining, but we owe soil a lot. We shouldn’t just be taking note of it when we want to plant something. With that in mind, take a look at a few memes on the topic. They always have something insightful to say.
