From start to finish, most memes are a lazy enterprise. Their creators throw them together in a couple of minutes on their phone, and half of them don’t even think of a witty caption for them when they share on their platform of choice. Then, most of us consumers barely spend seconds on each one before we pass our fateful judgment. Perhaps they get a nose exhale, maybe we even send them to a friend. All in all, though, the process takes a minimum of effort and time.

As we all know, this is a key part of the appeal. Who has time to concentrate when they’re meant to be relaxing, anyway? Arguably, arranging them in a list like this is a bit more involved, but only slightly. We’re all stress heavy and time poor, and the memes are meant to flow with ease to make us forget about that.
