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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
