If we wanted to, we could come up with countless theories about the true purpose of memes. Still, most people would probably give answers that center around the fact that they exist to give us a quick escape from reality, offering anything from a few seconds to a few hours of dumb and mindless entertainment. How much of our valuable time we devote to them is entirely up to us—determined, in the end, by how much self-control we choose to exercise. As we know, this often does not end up being very much, if any.

Here at Memebase, we do our best to serve these memes in convenient portions that do not take too long to get through. Whether you keep scrolling after you’ve reached the end is completely in your hands. We can’t influence that part, but we certainly hope you’ll stick around for another taste of dumb internet humor.
