Memes are full of contradictions. One of the wildest is how the longer you spend scrolling through them, the more they start to blur together, and despite that, you can’t seem to stop looking for more. Part of this comes from our habit of using online entertainment as a form of escapism from reality, and part of it stems from the persistent hope that the next meme will offer something so new or surprising that it makes it all worthwhile. That hope isn’t entirely misplaced; even though internet memes have been around for many decades, the creativity and innovation never truly stops. The trick is knowing where to look, which is not always straightforward. Maybe the memes ahead will all blend into one for you, or maybe a few will stand out in a way that makes the whole experience more rewarding than you expected. There’s only one way to find out.
