Dudes in the Old Testament are always having to do things for 40 days and 40 nights. Whether it’s Moses going up a mountain to hang out with God or Noah withstanding rain for all that time, it kind of seems like a bit much, no? Doing a task for 30 days and 30 nights is so much more manageable and far more aligned with our current calendar system, don’t you think? Let’s just do things for a month, see how they go, and reconvene after the month is over to see how it went. There’s no need for all of this hoopla.

We clearly don’t live in biblical times because, as a population, we have basically no sense of delayed gratification. We want everything, and we want it now. If you want to prove to yourself that you can make a good thing last a while, scroll through only one of these hilarious memes per day for 30 days. I believe in you.
