Let’s be honest…the landscape of memes right now can be depressing. There are so many memes about catastrophic global events that browsing the internet can become as unfun as watching the news. What happened to the good old days when wholesome and humorous memes ran this town? I don’t want to see vaguely humorous pictures bemoaning the backbreaking reality of American hegemony. I want to see photos of funny birds. I don’t want to see a TikTok breaking down every single solitary unethical thing that some random micro-influencer has done. I want to see a picture of a cat wearing a funny hat with large, bold white text on top.

There’s a reason funny animal memes have stayed relevant and pervasive in the meme world all these years. So many of us want to cut out the drama, foolishness, and waste of time that is online discourse. Discourse? More like, look at this horse.
