Sometimes you just have to put your head down and suffer. Not today.
If life is suffering, then memes are a break from all that. Memes help us remember what’s good about life. We have so much stuff to drudge through that we need a break from. Memes are just that. Memes demand nothing of us except a passing glance. They don’t ask us to give anything of ourselves over. They don’t even demand that we read that much. They just demand that we look and perhaps laugh. And who doesn’t need a laugh? Laughing immediately makes everything better.
Have you ever laughed and had a bad time? Maybe, honestly. Sometimes you laugh at stuff that isn’t funny, just to break the tension. Those are not fun laughs. But a good laugh will change everything. The type of laugh that comes up when you’re riffing with your friends, and it feels like a punch in the gut, but in a good way. The kind of laugh that brings tears to your eyes. The kind of laugh that makes you remember why you were put on Earth. These memes try to bring you there, and they make no apologies for that. Maybe you’ll like some of them, maybe you’ll forget most of them, but it’s a numbers game. The more memes you look at, the more likely you are to come across one that will change your life. And that’s what we’re trying to do today. Change your life. For the better. Yep, those are the stakes of this.
