Inside of us all is a beast. It’s one that can be sneaky, and it threatens to creep up on us at almost any time. It is the bogeyman of boredom, and boy, does it get a lot of opportunities to wreak havoc with our mental state. A lot of things we do in life are pretty damn tedious, so it’s no wonder that our minds often go wondering. Having internet access is both a blessing and a curse when it comes to this. It allows us to squash that humdrum feeling, but it replaces it with a constant restlessness for more. Memes contribute to this by being a low-effort and high-quantity means of entertainment. However, if we’re already in the zone, it’s not like it’s going to do much more harm in looking at some more. Boredom has nothing on the power of the endless scroll. Congratulations at keeping it at bay for a little while longer.
