If a co-worker stops me at the coffee machine and asks how I’m doing, there’s a brief moment where I have to decide how deep my response should be, depending on how well we know each other. Then I follow up with a few sentences I try to make at least somewhat entertaining, so they’re rewarded for taking an interest in me—regardless of how genuine it is.

But online, things are much easier. If someone texts you, there’s no need for eye contact or even words! You can just send a meme and save the effort you’d put into yapping, because chances are, someone has already experienced what you're going through and has illustrated it with a spot-on picture/caption combo.

The Instagram account Sarcasm Daily is full of these funny, relatable memes, and scrolling through its feed is almost therapeutic. It's a reminder that we’re not crazy and that we have a lot more in common than we might think.

    I think they should give medals to the horses instead of the jockeys. They're doing the real work. And they're the ones getting k****d when they break a leg while doing the difficult tricks they're being forced to make. The jockeys don't run the risk of getting k****d when they make a mistake, so what do they deserve a medal for?

    Memes can help us not just in everyday life but also during challenging times. For example, during the coronavirus pandemic, Jessica Gall Myrick, a communications professor at Pennsylvania State University, along with two other researchers, surveyed more than 700 people to see whether consuming lighthearted memes eased their minds in the face of great uncertainty.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Their study, published by the American Psychological Association, concluded that it did. Respondents reported that viewing funny or cute memes helped lower their stress levels and made them feel more confident in their ability to face the global health crisis.

    "People [were] using memes as a way to cope and talk about life during the pandemic, and to make social commentary," Myrick said.

    "Because we're isolated, when you see a meme about covid and it reflects something about our experience, it's really powerful because you don't get to have as much interpersonal interaction with people. There's something about it that helps us relate to other people."

    "If you're going through a stressful time, the last thing or most difficult thing is feeling alone in that stress, or feeling as if you’re the only one in that situation," said Rebecca Ortiz, a professor at Syracuse University who has studied the public influence of political memes.

    "Memes are built upon the idea of shared cultural references ... It's not only the message that might be calming, it's the sense that this is something that's being shared among people who get it and might be struggling with the same issues," Ortiz added.

    However, bad actors have also noticed our affinity for memes. Research by Dr. Stephanie Alice Baker, who is a senior lecturer in sociology at City St. George's, University of London and Dr. Michael James Walsh, an associate professor in social sciences at the University of Canberra, shows that memes form part of a highly sophisticated strategy to spread and monetize health disinformation.

    The most infamous anti-vaccination meme, however, emerged from a now discredited 1998 study that falsely linked the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine with autism.

    "The meme 'vaccines cause autism,' which appeared on billboards and was circulated widely in the media, provoked doubts about the safety of the vaccine. The study, since described as an 'elaborate fraud,' was published the same year as the launch of Google’s search engine allowing “vaccines cause autism” to became a global meme," the researchers explain.

    Over time, the anti-vaccine sentiment became a powerful gateway to promote potentially harmful health products. Baker and Walsh discovered that memes were used to market unauthorized medical products by directing consumers to online stores.

    Me. I'm afraid it's less about the driver I'm with but all the idiots on the road. Had a near-miss on Friday due to a fool thinking he could overtake on a junction (illegal and dangerous). Had a couple of serious accidents (not my fault) and it left me much more aware of how easily it goes wrong.

    Countries use them for propaganda too. “Russia has weaponised memes as part of a broader strategy of offensive information warfare - using troll farms, state-controlled media, and AI-generated content to spread false and misleading information as part of their strategy to sow confusion,” explains Dr. Tine Munk, lead researcher and Senior Lecturer in Criminology at NTU’s School of Social Sciences.

    So it's important to stay mindful of the content we consume online.
