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 have two cats and I always need to specify out loud which one is in charge before I leave the house
Load More Replies... Absolutely. They're already upset because they've just watched me get ready, so it would be rude not to explain how long I'll be gone.
Yes, and I pat them and kiss them and tell them to be nice to each other.
Of course, I wasn't born in a barn. But if I had been, I'd still say 'bye' if there were any animals kept in there with me.
I love the way my cat pretends not to care when I leave for work. She's such a trooper.
Absolutely. I usually tell my girl cat "be nice to your brothers" although I know she probably won't 😅
Only when cat is outside. Like - "You better come inside now or you are going to be stuck outside until I get back from town." While I don't think she understands the words per se, she seems to get the gist of it because she almost always comes back inside. She rarely leaves the porch - just likes to lie in the sun. She DID however seem to suffer some separation anxiety when I was overseas for a month. She was inside of course and cared for by a friend but when I returned home she was glued to me for several days.
Yes. All the dingdang time. (The operative phrase: "hold the fort til we get back.")
When I have to go into the office instead of wfh, I give my dog a chewy treat which he adores. So when I'm actually going and he's got his treat and I say goodbye, it's 'What? Oh yeah. See ya'. Separation anxiety my a*s.
Yes. I line all four of them up on the bed and give them some treats, then tell them to keep an eye out on the house and I'll be back later. Then when I get home, they're all waiting at the door (on top of the cabinets). They dash to the bed and I give them more treats, telling them they're good kitties and giving pets and kisses.
I did until my late cat chairman died. We love you chairman! We will always remember you!
I’ve been doing this for so long that my pet understands the difference between “soon” and “later”
Lucky , we have to bring our senior separation anxiety lil guy everywhere with us
Not stupid at all. Amusing and entertaining point to connect with other humans on 😊

Yes. In fact while pet sitting for my daughter, her pug went crazy when I left without saying I was going. If you tell. him no problem.
Yes! I cracked up my classroom aide and my Transitional Kindergarten kiddos when I told them I have a routine: I tell her I love her, to be a good cat, and that I will see her later. If there's an event at school I need to stay for, or I'm going out with friends, I also tell her I will be home late!
Yep, I tell the dog I won't be long, and when he looks at me dubiously I promise him I won't be long
Yup. Even if they don't understand the words, they probably understand the tone of the voice.
When I leave for work, I give my cat a treat and tell him to watch the house.
I give my cat a nose boop, a kiss, and let him know that I will be back at around 12:30 am or a little later.
Of course I say goodbye and tell them I will be back soon. I also put relaxation music on for the dog and tell him his brother the cat is in charge!
I tell them, "No boys... or girls for that matter. And no parties. George you're in charge. Razz, listen to your sister. I'll see you later. I love you." And then hit 'em with 2 air kisses.My friend was with me once and she was like, "What?" Lol
When I leave for work I always say "Bye kitties. I must go to work to make money to buy you cat food." They understand.
Be a good boy, I'll be back soon. Last words I say as I leave. When I had 2 dogs I would always tell them which one was in charge (usually the Westie)
I used to be as "Macho" as one could be until my wife and I took over our grand daughters 1 YO Yorkie; (who we have had for 2 years now), guess who talks like a blubbering idiot to this sweet baby? yep "unmacho" Papa, man life will smack you silly in a stinking minute for sure!!! LOL, sure do love that puppy though. standpipe-...6a15a9.jpg 
Never as it can create separation anxiety. If you go out the door with no fuss they don't notice anywhere near as much.
It as "I'll be back soon. GUARD." Of course my cats don't care but the dogs get to think they a big and bad.
I say, "Mama loves you, and she'll be back. Mama always comes back." That's because since I started working remotely, my cats have gotten very attached. They follow me to the door, looking very worried when I leave, and are usually sitting right inside when I return, looking relieved. Wherever I sit or lay, they are leaning in, making contact, one on either side most of the time.
I always tell mine to be good, guard the house, don't eat nothing that's not yours.
I tell ours we’ll be back and they look at me like, “Yeah, right.” But then we do come back and they’re so excited so I guess maybe they do think they’re being left forever.
I always tell the cats when I'll be home and to please mind the house while I'm gone 😆😁
Of course! We wouldn’t want them to think they’re going to miss dinner, would we?
We always tell her we'll be back, not that it matters, because she is nearly deaf.
Yes, and I talked to them about why they can't go and tell them that they can watch the house while I'm gone and I will see them in an hour or so
Sometimes. Most of the time I have to tell my cats no smoking and no parties.
I tell the farm/herd I will be back as I load up Hobbs the 3 legged wonder goat and ferrets that go everywhere with me
I always tell our kitties when I'll be back, especially for overnight trips.
You mean some people don't? I apologize if I'll be away longer than on most days.
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?

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?
