It has been said that laughter is the best medicine. And even in times of extreme turmoil, it seems to be true. When U.S. President Donald Trump recently announced sweeping tariffs on imports into America, stock markets took a tumble. But instead of wallowing in despair, quick-thinking netizens flooded the internet with memes. Suddenly penguins were everywhere. It turns out Trump had also decided to slap taxes on Antarctic-Australia islands that aren’t inhabited by people but are home to thousands of flightless birds. The viral memes have caused a collective roar of laughter at a dire economic situation that really is no laughing matter.
It's a classic example of how memes can not only bring people together, but also help make us feel a bit better when things seem to be heading south. If you're ever in need of a good dose of meme-induced laughter, look no further than the Today Years Old IG account. With more than 9 million followers, the page is clearly doing something right. It shares facts, funnies, and a few completely random posts. Bored Panda has picked the best of them to see you through yet another less-than-cheerful news week.

I can’t climb a 1/4 of that height right now and only on my 50’s lol She is amazing
I kinda think this is sad. Certainly not side-splitting. Must suck awfully hard if she’s going to that much effort to escape it. I can see how it would be funny but this doesn’t tickle my personal funny-bone.
Sometimes people need to be confined for their own good. Dementia patients can get into a lot of trouble if they wander around as they see fit, and they can be very determined and very confused at the same time.

I live in China going on 10years now, trust me , the old people are WAY more fit than the younger ones these days
My next door neighbor Mrs. Robinson lived to be 102 and was a spitfire until the day she died. That woman had attitude and was still using a walker to get around. Everyone knew that Nonna was taken care of and protected by the Hood. Nonna had Home health, but even the gang members would help her. Grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, mowing the yard and making sure her flower beds were weeded, laundry, repairs around her house, etc. and anything else that her 'Caregivers" didn't do or was covered by her aid. When you have neighbors and member's of the "Crips" doing more than what your state aid and insurance covers, you know shīt is fūcked up. Sorry about the rant and venting.
My aunt climbed a metal security gate to escape. She had dementia and did need the care.
She doesn't like the place, or is something wrong with the nursing home?
Grandma got it. She did want to be there nobody listened to her so, she fixed it herself.
Many people would prefer not to read in-depth articles about politics... But that doesn't stop millions from enjoying or sharing a good, well-timed political meme. Statistics show that 60% of memes are related to politics. And that political memes are an effective way to get millennials involved in politics. The more memes they see, the more likely they are to participate in political discourse, and sometimes even voting.
Wdym what, if they challenged, they better be ready to defend themselves
Elwood- "It's 100 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses." Jake- "Hit it!"
Love the blanket, but she really needs some rhinestones or glitter on it.
I was today years old when I discovered people didn't know this. I thought the twinkling gold tooth was a handy giveaway. 🤔
My wife and I keep telling each other that. Outside opinions are solicited nor welcome.
If she can afford her own hot air balloon, she can afford customization as well.
*60% of pandas and redditors, probably more, puts their left foot on purple* (EDIT: Phantom Phoenix pointed out it was a foot)
"This or nothing"? Nah, I'll put you in the spam folder then you can count down your 30 days to deletion.
Ridiculous?! That's pure gold prose, I tell ya! I want a man to email me like this. 😂
Two options: She really hates that guy or she REALLY likes that guy.
My husband was hugging me and I said, "You're my favorite husband....... so far."
Exchange fish. Deep down at 1000m there’s a flying fish hanging out with a bunch of angler fish. He doesn’t speak their language, he’s baffled by the food they eat and honestly he’s all in the dark about the whole situation….
