It was Shakespeare who famously wrote that all the world’s a stage, and more than four hundred years later those words are truer than ever. The invention of social media has led to millions performing for the sake of clout, and one of the vehicles for doing this comes through memes. They get up on that stage every darned day and put on the performance of a lifetime just so we can exhale slightly harder through our nose, and maybe screenshot to send to a friend.

When you think about it like that it’s almost a bit sad, but we needn’t worry. That’s what they are designed for, and it isn’t like any of these images have a consciousness anyway. We can absorb as many as we like without stopping to take a breath. The ones that can be found here are as good as any to continue a scrolling session with.
