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.

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.

Even if he did discover the jelly, one would just assume your wife used it to make her own sandwiches and not to psychologically mess with you. That would be quite the jump in logic, "a different kind of jelly in the fridge means my wife is messing with me."

my dad always complains when my mum buys non brand name coffee he only drinks Nescafe so my mum buys Aldi own brand coffee and refills the empty Nescafe jar he has no idea

My dad always wanted my mom to use fresh brewed tea for his iced tea, not the mix. She used the mix. He never knew. Mom was not about to be bothered with that. She told me if he wanted fresh brewed tea, he could make it himself.

Grape jam sounds horrible. Y'all need to embrace blackcurrants as your "purple" flavour, America, it's infinitely tastier.
Sue User 11 months ago
Black currants were banned in the US between 1911 and 1966, and some states still have restrictions, because they were believed to be a vector for white pine blister rust, a fungal disease that is deadly to white pine trees, a key component of the timber industry. And thats why we cant have nice things. And why i always bring back 2 bottles of Ribena and as many packets of tarts as i can.

I get this is mostly off-topic, but is PB&J really as popular as it seems to be online? It sounds absolutely gross (even putting aside that Aus' jelly is US jello, so that could be an interesting sandwich). Crunchy or smooth? What flavour jam (jelly) -- is grape typical? I have so many questions...
Austzn 11 months ago (edited)
It isn't my personal favorite but I get the combination. It seems pretty popular around the midwest and mid-south of the US. Grape is typical but I imagine many fruit jams would also be good. Always smooth, haha, I've never met anyone personally who likes the crunchy stuff but they still sell it in the stores so I have to assume some do.

My Mom would drink coffee from morning to late evening, every single day. I tried to get her to drink the half caffeine coffee, she swore up and down that she could taste the difference. I started slowly mixing it in with her regular coffee grounds, by the time that canister was gone she was drinking the solid half caff coffee. By that time, I was the one doing all of the grocery shopping and putting stuff away, making it very easy to just dump the grounds into the old canister. That was also how I switched her from regular Italian to fat free Italian dressing. I can't even tell you how many things that I did swaps, and she NEVER knew about it. What makes it even funnier is when I would take her to the Doctor for a checkup and her blood work. Her blood pressure and cholesterol levels kept improving. She would gloat saying "see I didn't have to change my diet, stop b******g at me!" Of course, the doctor knew what I was doing, but we kept our mouths shut and Mom never knew about it.

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….
