The details of things are what makes life fun. Things wouldn’t be the same without that random thing you saw on the street this morning, or that cute thing that somebody you love always does that is unique to them. For the most part, memes are all about these tiny features; they often love to make the most of those moments that we might only appreciate for a second otherwise. Perhaps this is one of the reasons that we gravitate to them so heavily, seeing as there are so many other things in the world that take up space in our minds otherwise. Memes are here to make sure that we designate some space for something stupider, and don’t get bogged down with all the heavy stuff. Or maybe that we do think about the heavy stuff, but in a way that makes it less depressing. Either way, it makes for good entertainment.
