It’s kind of the whole premise of memes that ultimately, there is something better we could be doing than looking at them. Many of them operate in a humble way, in the knowledge that at the back of our minds we have the gnawing suspicion that we could be doing something more useful. While some may think that it detracts from our enjoyment of them, it’s so baked in at this point that it’s best just to give in to it. We know that there are more enriching ways to spend our time, or things we could be doing that actually have a purpose. It doesn’t mean that we don’t need our procrastination, too! Some argue that it ends up helping our brain work better. While we can’t conclusively prove that, we can help in the process. Looking at these memes might prove inconsequential, but at least it’s a fun thing to do.
