50 Hilariously Relatable Memes To Take Your Mind Off The Horrors Of The World (New Pics)
Life is hard. Work is harder. And being a functioning adult can feel like a scam on the best of days.
Thankfully, we're living in an age where we don't need to traipse to the local library to find a funny book. Nor wait hours for our favorite sitcom to appear on tv. Long live the internet! It's like a 24/7 pharmacy, providing endless hours of laughter, which, as they say, is the best form of medicine.
There's one dispensary in particular, that might help anyone feeling chronically exhausted, over-caffeineted, emotionally unavailable or unseen... It goes by the name Sarcasm Daily and can be found on a little social media app called Instagram. It's clocked up an impressive 685,000 followers, many of whom are there to self-medicate with a good dose of humor.
The account shares hilarious, and often painfully relatable memes that could leave many people feeling called out while at the same time rolling around on the floor laughing. Bored Panda has put together a list of the best for you to scroll through instead of doing that absolutely important thing you're meant to be doing this minute.

The last time I bought an advertised product was - never. Now you know why.
Load More Replies...If your advert interrupts my video I will personally boycott you and inform others to do the same.
If the popup window occurs before I even know if I'm on the right page, I leave.
So true. Adverts absolute guarantee that I won't buy the product/service.
Memes make us laugh. But they can also make us feel seen and understood. And that, say psychologists, is a basic human need.
According to Los Angeles-based Take Root Therapy, the things we say about and to our loved ones often have to do with feeling seen and heard – or not – by them.
"In a fast-paced, urban city where we are often moving through our daily lives surrounded by people, but still alone (in our car getting through our commutes, or on foot or public transit wearing headphones, for example), it can be argued that many of us go through the day feeling almost invisible," explains the site, adding that feeling alone in public can take a toll on our mental health.
Many people use social media to fight the feelings of isolation, but it's not a true substitute for true human connection. Being seen by another living and breathing human being who just "gets" us.
My grandmother kept most photographies, especially those with the children or other relatives in addition to her ex, my grandfather. Grandfather literally cut her out of all of them.
Load More Replies...This person face was really clearly cut out for a locket or album.
I had a friend who would put those yellow smiling face stickers on people she didn't like any more.
I was really shocked to see my Mother had cut myself and my then Husband out of pics, what a horrible thing to do.
My mother in law did this to all the photos from my sister in law's first wedding.
When angry with her husband friend just folded paper over the frame of the wedding picture to cover his face. Easily removed when she changed her mind.
So how do we let the people in our lives know that we “get” them too?
According to the therapists at Take Root, fortunately it's a skill that can be learned. They say that one way to make someone feel seen is by using something known as reflective listening.
"Reflective listening is the process of hearing, listening, and putting what you hear into your own words, and saying it back to the original speaker," explains the site. "This shows them that you were, in fact, hearing and listening to them, which is a connection in and of itself, and it also gives them the opportunity to share even more with you."
Cats and their humans are usually a bit more subtle, but my girl is still always waiting at the door for me as soon as she hears the garage open.
Love this so much. But don't forget cat that give you sassy because you're 2 seconds late
A nicely angled Adirondack chair would be perfect here.

I'm so old, if I ever woke up and nothing hurt, I'd know i was dead.
Load More Replies...When it comes to getting others to see you, experts says it's partly your responsibility. "Misunderstandings happen when you expect others to read between the lines or when you stay silent about what matters most, and then feel hurt when no one notices," writes psychologist Mark Travers.
Helping others see you doesn’t mean forcing a connection or oversharing to be understood, he says. "It means learning how to show up in ways that invite the kind of understanding you crave." Share your inner world through clear and honest expression, advises Travers.
I don't know how it happened, but my mother and I have changed roles as I got older. I guess you really do turn in to your parents!
That's normal. Except those toddlers think they're a 100% right and still fully in charge of everything 😬🥲
Load More Replies...When my mother had an operation under general anaesthetic, and she could come home the same day if there was a responsible adult in the house with her. It took a few seconds for it to sink in that it was me.
I knew I was grown up when I became the "get the dead raccoon out of the attic" guy

Fluffy, the way rice should be. Get some veg and a spicy sauce over that and I'd eat it. Or her. I'd eat something, anyway.
A neighbor in our apartment complex had dogs dyed like this. Fooled everyone from a distance.
Then the zoo could have sold 'panda' experiences! Dogs would have loved it.
Someone else had to point out that my golden blonde maltipoochi is "sassy" 😆😆🐶🐶 she genunely walks with a switch, she sashays, she works it 😆😆😆
I don't have airpods because I know I'd lose them. And I'd probably lose these too.
Not if it tries to swallow that fish with all those barbs.

Pro?! Remind me to stay on your good side, Uncle.
Load More Replies...Better to dig it vertically, fill it in and then leave a dead animal on top to fool the cadaver-sniffing dogs.

My friend gave me one of these, but I can't bring myself to burn it.
I had one of those and it was a complete ripoff. Wick didn't go all the way to the bottom so I had to remove the rest of the wax manually.
Same with cats. Mine sleep across my feet to stop me escaping to the kitchen during the night without them.
Two of my boy dogs one now, and one passed sleep on my feet. Never had a girl dog do that
Load More Replies...Used to sleep with my young son on one side, the rottweiler on the other, the german shepherd across my ankles and the cats on the pillows. My husband, he was on the sofa downstairs until he became my ex.
😆😆😆 My manchester terrier would end up on my chest and multiple kittens. Something about me and my sleeping habits. Small animals sleep on me
Load More Replies...At least with dogs "let" sometimes works as a term. When it comes to cats, "let" only works when referring to the cat letting their human do things.
Considering I've busted my right ankle 3 times in 66 years... yeah.
Load More Replies...I did that in the jungle in Panama, with dark approaching, on my own. Lay on my back for a few minutes wondering if this was how my foolishness was finally going to catch up to me...
I feel seeeeeen. Also, after-hours socialising with colleagues is not in my contract, so ....
I saw one yesterday on bored panda that was made of cheese slices XD
Load More Replies...I just feel bad for that poor model! "You want me to wear what, now?"
"You've got to be the worst pirate I've ever heard of!" "But you HAVE heard of me"
that seems like a pirates of the Carribean reference but I'm also stupid
Load More Replies...I spent ₹100 on cough drops today. F**k my life because that was the only money I had left

Yes, do it. Had a guy follow me fro the station and try to get into my car. Got the door lock on in the nick of time. Now I don't take chances.
Real those dogs and cats on YouTube have a better skincare routine than me
Little Manyu is my fave. I hope to be reincarnated as someone's Little Manyu in my next life.
Load More Replies...I get stuck in traffic. Usually have to say hello to doggy.
Load More Replies...That book is making my eye twitch! Title on the back cover, blurb on the front cover, nothing on the spine, and the title itself is poorly structured. And the final insult to my senses is putting it in the hands of Dr. House, as if he'd even pick up such an abomination.
Compliments on your observational skills, Grandad! 👍
Load More Replies...Laugh, just laugh manically. I don't think HR can fire you for that lol
That's the difference between paying to be somewhere and being paid to be somewhere

Everything is so expensive and the recurring expenses never end.
And getting more expensive. I did a 'top up' shop and it cost me £90!
Load More Replies...Hard work won't get you that stuff anyway so might as well enjoy the extra sleep. Sleep doesn't cost anything, though I'm sure they're working on it.
How long til you have to watch an ad to get in bed?
Load More Replies...I don't know - I can't unsee that belly button.
Load More Replies...Sometimes I used to change my alarm from 04:10 to 04:15 hours just to make it feel like I’m getting extra sleep :P
What ungodly time to wake up is that? Do you work as a policewoman?
Load More Replies...To mean people: We get it. You hate yourself and take it out on everyone else. Stop. Go fix yourself instead.
I've had my car for 10 years now and I still feel this way lol.
A car and a house are two material purchases that at least give one the endorphin good feeling many weeks after their purchase. Most other things you are bored with in a week.
If you have had to deal with dishonest, stingy, critical landlords, owning your own place brings such peace of mind.
Load More Replies...As long as the toaster doesn't have those grates that close together to hold the toast.
Why? Would still work OK. You'd just have to live with the smell of burning pizza topping every time you used it after that. Although a proper thin pizza should fit between them without touching anyway.
Load More Replies...Why do people keep dressing pets? This one looks miserable, poor thing.
Is there a cat docile enough to just lay there in a onesie it doesn't want on its body? 😂
