It goes without saying that memes are good for the soul. Sometimes you just want to stare at a phone screen until maybe 3 AM in the morning, reading about all of the relatable experiences other people have and then laughing at how you do that too.

The internet’s actually full of opportunities for this, with one of the more perfect examples being the r/absolutelynotme_irl subreddit that’s totally definitely “not your selfies of the soul."

    Once I was at my sister's and her son came in with his finger to his lips and hid behind the door to scare his mum. Then my sister came in, mouthed if I knew where her kid was, obviously I shook my head, so she ran to hide behind the door to scare him. Same door. They both screamed. He was maybe about 18 at the time.

    At this point, you know very well what memes are and why they are so darn good. Benefits of memes range from cultural information exchange and a form of communication to collective coping and just a good way to improve your mood. Also, it's a great form of stress relief when it’s 3 AM and you’re curled up in bed unable to fall asleep.

    Almost 50 and I have learned to enjoy cooking whatever I want and not having to worry if someone is allergic or doesn't like it. Everyone loves my cooking and it is amazing to share that skill with people who you care about but I still enjoy cooking for myself. You can always invite friends or strangers to dinner and impress them with a fantastic home cooked meal. I also have a 5 ingredient maximum rule *not including spices. Only cook with casties and gas *I do have one special stainless pan/pot

    Relatability. Don't be afraid to be real in front of the person you like, which means slipping up like this! Makes you more even on their level, and more approachable then, which means connection!

    Memes, however, do come with a warning label—one that you might not have noticed, but here is your warning:

    For starters, because memes are a form of communication—a very effective one considering the factor of virality, influence, what have you—it is also by proxy a potential vessel for misinformation.

    Not only that but memes are often designed to capitalize on our vices, i.e. our easily apprehended attention, triggering us to keep on scrolling, liking and sharing them. And that only adds to why folks consider meme culture toxic.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    You see, memes can often be disconnected from their original context. This in turn belittles the sense of distress in some more sensitive contexts.

    Adding to this is the fact that some of the more common tropes used in memes are dark humor and self-deprecation. While these can be positive, there is a concern that they might foster a social culture that does away with empathy and desensitizes serious issues to a point where genuine struggles are disregarded.

    I don't know about processing trauma, but when you get this emotional safety ( things like this more vast than two words, actually.) in one moment, you may be overtaken by a realization of smth, and the next moment you are completely healed of the trauma. It is the best sensation to experience, feels like freedom, lightness and absolute peace.

    This woman has low self esteem to make up this sort of thing

    Besides that, the nature of memes leads some to believe that they can’t really take heavy topics and problems seriously.

    And sure, the internet is very quick in debunking misinformation, but once a meme goes viral and the damage is done, it’s hard to undo it as netizens jump on the waning popularity of the meme and a segment of its audience is already gone.

    I don't have a load of these, but I still relive the horror of my crush in high school asking me if I wanted to come to his place to hear the new Kate Bush album (it's what you did back then, nothing scary) and I turned him down, wtf?! Didn't know who the hey Kate was yet (learned a few years later, she's been my numero uno music gal ever since) and thought it sounded boring. Boring?! What the heck was wrong with me?

    In my mid 30's, I was at my moms with my current GF talking about how many friends I had in high school that were girls. My mom said 'They weren't your friends". I started to get upset and argue when she said "I met them all. They wanted to be more than friends". i literally went "Why the F*&K didn't you tell me that then?" To this day, I am horrible at reading social queues from women so I err on the side of caution. Probly why I'm single, but very happy, in my 50's

    Another perspective to consider is how corporations use memes to boost brand presence. Sure, memes are definitely a helpful tool for companies to use to improve their bottom line. However, it just means that a meme was originally created to push a particular agenda—one that focuses on company profits and nothing more. And that agenda can be anything at this point.

    And it doesn’t stop there. Memes have the potential for encouraging a bandwagon effect and diminishing individuality. Because everyone thinks memes are cool, this pushes folks to assume particular styles, behaviors and attitudes towards a given issue, overriding their own personality and normalizing toxic behaviors.

    Despite the abuse, I treated my ex bf like he was the only one in the world. I haven't been with anyone else since. No thanks. I'm in my early forties.

    But, the point is to focus on the positives: it is a form of language for people that unites them through collective consciousness, evoking strong emotions that can serve as a form of support, humor, and political dissent. If done right, they can influence public opinion for the better, pushing away the tide of ignorance and letting societies prosper.

    I had about 10 years when I simply couldn't gain weight. I did eat a lot of fatty food to keep from losing more. At peak, I was roughly 130lbs (60kg) and about 6' (1.9m). I was eating about 8000 calories per day. My metabolism was high enough that I'd walk barefoot through snow and wear a T-shirt when the windchill was in the single digits (5F, -15C).

    Now, I start gaining weight if *someone else* looks at fatty food. I honestly am not sure which is worse.

    That won't make you healthy, though. Just skinny with fatty unhealthy organs.

    So cheating is fun now? Wish I'd known that when I could have used it.

    Cheating between a man and a woman can be fun... especially if they are really good-looking man and woman :D
