We're spending more and more time online. The Pew Research Center reports that 31% of Americans say they're almost constantly online, up from 25% in 2015. We do many things online: argue with others, read the news, watch TV shows and video essays, and, of course, meme 'til we drop.
As we hang out online more and more, the world seems to make less and less sense. And that's reflected in the memes, as they're getting weirder and more random by the minute. So, kick up your feet, relax, and have a chuckle as you scroll down these random memes from a page that fuses hilarity with weirdness brilliantly.

I once called a friend and asked her what she was doing Saturday and how much money she had in the bank. She then asked what the he!! was I gonna ask of her. Which of course was reasonable of her to ask. Someone at work had theater tickets to a show they couldn't go to and were selling the tickets cheap. It was a show my friend wanted to see, so she did want to spend the money. But she was very nervous of what I had in mind given how I started the conversation. I just thought it was funny, because I knew she didn't have much money in the bank.

I'm of an age when I now say, "Why? What would you like to do?" and if it's not something I want to do, "Sorry, I'm really not in the mood for that. Why not ask John or Mary, they love that stuff!" Turned down politely, given a better suggestion. Ageing rocks!

As a cis-gendered, middle-aged man living in America, I can definitively state that there is nothing more insecure and fragile than the male ego.
We love random memes; we like the nonsensical chaos that they bring. Yet we're starting to dislike the chaotic Internet from which they are born. What was once fun and exciting, nowadays brings us only anxiety, rage, and exhaustion.
In 2023, right before the New Year, The Wall Street Journal published a story about how people don't post on social media as much as they used to. They mention that 61% of Americans say they've become more selective about what they post on social media.

I think, when commenting online, one should still attempt to indicate tone with /jk or /s or indicate that they are roleplaying. Because otherwise, we are left with only the literal words, to be taken literally, since words on a screen are by nature without tone. I will sometimes make comments here on BP pretending as if I'm an actual talking wolf, but I always make it clear when I do so, because otherwise, people could make incorrect assumptions about what I am trying to say or not say. If I simply commented as if I were actually a wolf, without indicating that I am essentially roleplaying, I would sound absolutely deranged and someone could be concerned for my actual sanity.

Folks don't really like being on social media anymore, either. They feel that no matter which platform you go on, it's just too divisive, full of bots and trolls, and chaos in general. Others point out that social media are becoming more about selling a product than fostering relationships between people.
"Facebook, Instagram—many of these platforms have been excessively commercialized to the point where they lost their immediacy, the sense of place they afforded, the sense of community they facilitated, the sense of belonging they offered," Zizi Papacharissi, who studies internet trends, told NPR.

When I was 11 years old in the 90s, I told my dad that I was going to end my life when I was 45, as I considered that "old enough" to have lived enough of a life without getting too old/having too many health issues (I'd recently watched a number of family members decline in health/die, so it was much on my mind.) My dad sort of side-eyed me (he was in his 50s at the time and was probably like "oh sweet summer child, you consider 45 to be OLD?") Then for a while in my 20s/30s I was like "nah, it's fine, 45 isn't old, I'll rescind my self-expiration date!" Then the last 5 or so years happened and I'm starting to consider my 11-year-old self's decision again :p ....I'm 43, btw XD

I'm in my mid 70, born shortly after the WWII ended. We had very little. My father was a professional sportsman and an engineer so he did well. I was educated under the intransigent regime of a Catholic Convent school which I hated, mainly because they didn't know about ADHD in those days. I grew up in a world where freedom and individual rights were fought for, where women should have the same opportunities as men. But people didn't know where to stop. Now there are no women, where some misogynists have usurped the roles and freedoms of women and turned into us. Where t*******m is celebrated. Where the wants of the rew subsume the rights of the many. I am just waiting to die, I don't want to be a part of this world any more.

They're failing," he concludes.

One TikTok creator points out how there's less and less discussion on the most popular social media platforms among young people—YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch. "There's this divide that wasn't there before, between audiences and creators," she told The New Yorker.

I'm 43 and I still occasionally remember the time, in 3rd grade, when it was the end of the year and we were all wandering around signing each others' yearbooks. I was one of the "nerds" and thus only had gotten the teacher's signature so far. Suddenly, the most popular boy in class walked towards me with his yearbook in his hands! I grabbed it, shoved mine into his hands, and started signing his yearbook. He stood there for a second, confused, and then said "Oh, uh, I was just going to ask you if you knew where Ryan was." Ryan was his best friend in class. I was mortified. He was very polite, though, and still signed my yearbook XD Adam, if you're out there, and you remember this for some reason, I apologize for being so cringe XD
