At this point, we don’t think any convincing is really necessary in terms of funny memes. They’re memes. They’re funny. Yes, you deserve to indulge in some. Take a friend with you.
Incidentally, there’s an Instagram page that dishes out chucklesome and relatable bits of internet content to waste everyone’s time because of course you can’t help but show at least one of them to your friends.

Always. I never leave without telling my baby that we'll be back soon and not to worry. He also doesn't care less. But he is the bestest of dogs
I’m sure you’re already aware of the nooks and crannies where memes flow freely. We’re also sure you won’t mind getting a new venue to virtually peruse too. @EpicFunnyPage on Instagram is one such venue, currently on its way to 13,000 posts uploaded since late 2013 (averaging at 1,300 posts per year). Plenty of mileage there.
It goes without saying that memes as an internet phenomenon don’t really get old. By that, we don’t mean that memes themselves don’t age—they do. New ones are created as others die and fade into obscurity. Thus is the cycle of internet life.
No, we mean that people just don’t stop consuming memes. And there’s a lot of reasoning behind it. Some of which is inevitable and the other is unavoidable. Embrace it.
Wait... Who read my mind? Especially if the blood is shiny on the neck and the shadows move.
The inevitable and unavoidable comes from the fact that memes are by nature viral. They spread across the internet and just never go away. Why? Because they are relatable and funny—they provide a sense of comfort by showing just how universal some human experiences are, all the while throwing out some gags and goofs about it.
Where can I get this guy's number? I mean, I'm married. Just...asking for a friend...
Another factor of their inevitability is how ingrained they have become in our lives as a form of communication. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, sometimes a meme is worth just as much, and it actually uses words. Just that there aren’t that many of them. But match that up with an appropriate image and you got yourself volumes at this point.
But the one thing which is more seldom considered is the idea of memes as a form of escapism. Considering that everything has been seemingly going down the drain since, maybe, 2015, with things like the pandemic, economic crises, war, and that’s on top of the already problematic world we live in, it’s no wonder why people need to find some room to breathe.
Addiction and mental health help venue Fort Behavioral Health discusses escapism as a form of coping with real life challenges and struggles. Among the more conventional methods of escapism, like reading, music, and exercise, things like video games and scrolling through memes have become viable options through which to escape a stressful reality.
Escapism, while sweet and juicy at times, can be taken to an extreme and, seriously, nobody wants that. Drugs and alcohol are the more traditional modes of escapism and that in and of itself doesn’t lead to good things. So, if you get addicted to memes, the results might be quite similar—both you and your ability to face reality might start to change in ways where you wouldn’t be able to cope, creating a vicious circle of sorts.
I'm a millennial and I hate calling the doctor's office. Or really anyone. Please don't make me.
And if you think you can’t ever get addicted to memes, don’t forget what empowers that: dopamine.
Because memes are predominantly found on social media and relevant websites, and we often gravitate there as a reward for a job well done (or nothing done at all, still applies), we get that sweet dopamine release making us feel good. Memes have the same effect.
I think we should change. that "customer is always right" BS to "you wanna buy something here or not?"
In such a case, just remember that everything should be taken in moderation. Pace yourself, take breaks from memes and keep yourself busy with other things. If it does get out of hand, seek help. Ain’t no shame in that.
But if you’re more than fine, continue scrolling and keep another article open in a new tab for an encore.
Given a choice of various types of monsters, this is the best kind! 😎
I honestly don't understand why hight matters. Do they make you feel good about yourself or not?
I’m a 5’10” woman and I’ve had a couple guys that were an inch or two or three shorter tell me to my face that my height makes them feel too insecure and less masculine. I don’t get it either 🤷♀️ one guy was attracted to me but obsessing that “men shouldn’t be shorter than women.” I was like “well you’re a man and you’re shorter than me, a woman, so does that not give you a hint that your standards are a little unrealistic compared to the real world? If men were “meant” to be taller than women why am I taller than you?” Poor guy is still massively insecure to this day, and chronically single.

I've never lied about my height. But also - LOL at the condescending attitude considering the woman is much more likely to be wearing - false nails, false eyelashes, dyed hair/wig/hair extensions, a push up bra to make them look bigger, heels to make her look taller, makeup to cover imperfections.
Okay, but there is nothing stopping you from wearing hair wigs, heels, or makeup, too. It was good enough for the Founding Fathers to wear!
Load More Replies...I've always loved being tall. For practical reasons, though. It's a level of independence being able to get things off the top shelf all by myself.
But that means you never had the opportunity to learn all the "short people tricks" we use to get stuff done, like climbing on the counter, or knocking things off a high shelf with a stick.

I don’t wear heels to look taller, I wear them because they are beautiful.

Men who golfed with my late 5'7'' Dad would often say, "Hey, Bobby, stand up.....oh, you are standing up!" 👎👎 This week, we had some people come and make a presentation about an event at my school. The presenter looked to be about 5'4'', maybe. The guy who came with him, only a bit taller, made a crack about his colleague only being 3 ft tall. The shorter guy took it in good part, but I felt for him. My Dad was a good role model, so my brothers and my nephews never turned that junk into. a reason to be jerks. Being really good at sports, ike having a handicap of 4, lettering in wrestling, football, or track, or getting jr. black belts in karate helped them blow off the stupidity! But the reality is most "little guys" deveIop "short man syndrome". I don't condone it, but I do understand where it comes from!
My gf is shorter then me by a bit and i occasionally get on my knees while she's watching a show and go, "uppies!" She responds with, "you know i settled for you... you're only 5'11"."
Then why do you say you are a size 2 when you're waiste is more than 2 inches?
I've always preferred shorter guys because I am super short.
True. Girls generally lie about their age not their height. LOL
My daddy said Son, when you're lying down, doesn't matter who's taller!
A dear friend of mine has a son who is very short. He has a very well paying job, a good education, dresses nicely, practices very good hygiene, is interesting and has a variety of interests, and is well traveled. Women will not give him a second look. Once women learn he's stretching it to be 5'3" that's it. He says he's tired of being rejected and my friend is sad he will likely not find a life partner. Sadly, looks and physique are very important to a lot of people.
what is considered tall for a woman? I thought 5”7 was average before this…
Women do lie about their height. My girlfriend in college claimed to be 5'8" but would admit to 5'10" if pressed. She was actually a smidge under 6 foot. She didn't think being tall was "feminine". She must have gotten over it. She married a guy she towers over.
It's not the size of the wave that counts, it's the motion of the ocean.
A guy once had the audacity to ask me if I'm sure I'm 5'7" because he lied he was that height and was actually shorter. I am indeed what I said I am.
wait wait wait, what's going on with her feet, is she like barefoot with high heels attached to her feet?
I’m 6’4” which is normal height. If you doubt me, you’re confusing average with normal. The average number of arms is less than 2.
The average number of skeletons in a body is higher than 1

These are fun until some grumpy person feels the need to inject their grumpy angry opinions into it
Sometimes we watch daft films or low effort TV, sometimes we like our brains to just vegetate and relax. I call it chewing gum moments, our brains aren’t doing anything significant or challenging, they are just chewing gum. Memes are the embodiment of that, no harm done, no moments of enlightenment, just scrolling along and chewing gum.
Or you’re just killing time while you wait for the lawnmower battery to recharge but it’s not long enough to do anything too useful or taxing, so relax on the sofa instead and pet some cats?
