40 Chucklesome Memes Shared By A Facebook Page Called “Cheerful Nihilism”
Interview With Owner
Sometimes no soothing words or actions will help soothe the pain caused by our absurd and Sisyphean existences. The only thing that will lift our spirits out of the dumps or brighten our days in moments like this are - you guessed it - memes.
Turns out there's a Facebook page that’s just like that - cheery as a graveyard in the midst of summer, dubbed Cheerful Nihilism, where the most painfully relatable funnies are posted daily.

A friend of mine pointed out that I had cat hair on my leggings one day by calling it "kitty glitter" ... that has stuck with me ever since.

I have an idea. You make a shirt only made out of cat fur so it would looks normal even if there is cat hair on it.

Also, every time there's some new technology, it's only a matter of time before it becomes a paywalled, sanitized corporate tool to milk money from people.
ValdaDeDieu 2 years ago
Metaverse, anyone? They've fired thousands of staff just to pay for it. With NO practical or humanitarian purpose -- nor sustainable, environmentally-friendly implementation; just another Corporate, Dystopian-creating money grab. All the e-waste, all the pollution, millions of homeless (THAT not addressed) many addresses CANNOT get the internet; equipment is too expensive and impractical; some people barely able to afford rent, food, meds -- but SURE, let's create a "virtual world" and leave the real one in shambles.

I found myself doing that with computer languages. I'm an old school programmer and anything after html I was doing the same thing, "I'm not learning that, I hate it."
Sue User 2 years ago
I was working someplace and creating email template. The language was xlst. I didnt kniw the syntax and a young programmer was amazed. I tried explaining that I remembered when HTML was created. Then it was SGML, then XML. Its fine if the new ones were leaps and bounds, but I am seeing less and less improvement.

Oh, 'healthy living' is available. Question is; can YOU afford it? Billionaires take 12 vacays a year. They have Organic food prepared by chefs and water flown in from pristine glaciers in Iceland. They've Far Infrared Saunas to detox and the best of All-Natural supplements and the latest Anti-aging therapies. Massages, time to de-stress and no worries over how their bills are paid. HEALTHY LIVING IS AVAILABLE. But to whom? And why only some of us? Being born means you have the same sovereignty -- natural rights, as everyone else!

Looking at a meme page, your first thought may not be about who created it or how they got the inspiration to do so, but Cheerful Nihilism’s creator’s story may make you start wondering about things like this.
They were pursuing a PhD in Health Education when their “advisor” presented their dissertation as their own research at the American Public Health Association National Conference in Denver in 2016.

The department backed the tenured professor, while they lost their funding. “I reported her to higher-ups but they also took her side. I left academia in disgust.”
They mention this made them lose the meaning and purpose in their life, after their life-long goal of being a researcher was taken away from them. This led to them starting the page as an outlet for frustration at the absurdity permeating life.
“Turns out a lot of people resonated with that idea that it's liberating to see life as meaningless, because then you can make whatever meaning you see fit to make.”

The page owner is inspired by the feeling of community. “I'm generally a pretty asocial person, I am neurodivergent and I dislike being around lots of people, so parasocial relationships meet my social needs.”
Furthermore, they feel a kind of obligation to the audience, because when they needed it most, they had all of their support and mutual aid.
They also mention watermarking memes in the beginning, but stopped as they didn’t want to have ownership over them, feeling that they belong to everyone, not only the page owner.
As for the creation of the funnies, they sometimes hop on a trend, but usually it’s random inspiration. “I also get sent memes by followers a lot and whatever strikes my fancy and makes me laugh quietly to myself gets shared.”

They aren't extinct though. Those types, yes. Chickens are dinosaurs.
Speaking about the community they’ve created, the page owner adores them. Of course, they’ve got rules to make the comments less toxic than on other pages.
A big reason why they’ve continued running the page for all these years is because of the community and the message they get. It seems as if they’ve helped people get a sense of connection and community.
“In a world where it's easy to feel disconnected, being able to chuckle at your phone screen in the wee hours of the morning when you're not able to sleep and knowing other people 'get it' can make a huge difference.”
And this final bit is just too good not to quote:
“Funny story, my husband actually followed my page and he friend-requested me impulsively in 2018. We met up in person in 2019 and got married during lockdown in 2020.”
Bet that you’ve never thought about the person running a meme page, their story, and how it’s shaped their lives! Hopefully this will inspire you to do so.

I dunno… I didn’t have trauma, but then Lockdown happened and i emerged like a scraggly, insecure shrimp who lost any social skills she gained prior to the lockdown. First panic attack happened very recently after lockdown ✌🏼I think everyone should experience SOMETHING traumatic at least once in their lives. Whether it’s big or not. It could be a phobia not taken seriously as well. I was also traumatized by those videos of a supposed “painting” that moved when the girl wasn’t looking, or those videos that startled you with a horrific face after peaceful music and nature scenes
