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.

My local radio station occasionally plays "Wake Me Up Before You Gogo" by Wham, and even if it is early in the morning I have to get up and dance.

After high scool when I had my first 9-5 job, there was a radio staion that would play Everybody's Workin For The Weekend" every Friday at 5:05PM. Which was right when I'd start my car. It was awesome.

For me it's Take on Me by A-Ah, when my daughter was young I embarrassed her because I sang it all at the top of my lungs. Now 15 years later she sings it with me!

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….
