One could ask what is the one thread or theme that unites all the memes shared by this dedicated account on Instagram and turn to its name, only to find that there is accordingly no indication of one topic there either.

However, such efforts might well be the opposite of what one does while scrolling down to check out some memes online. One might feel that we put in enough effort while carrying out our daily job and home responsibilities and that “for once” we might wish to just let the various relatable life experiences take control and flow freely through our perception, sparking various unrestricted feelings and associations.

 In other words, an Instagram account under the name “Nugget” fulfills its name by sharing memes for all life occasions without excluding any of them.

I hate this. I mean if the dude can walk without shoes maybe the lady can do too. If the lady had not been with the guy she would have to walk along with the her damn shoes on, right? (Sorry, if my views are not right)

Personally if I made the wrong choice in shoes, I would not let someone else go barefoot for me. My fault, I'll go barefoot if need be.

And why doesn't. s h e ` walks barefoot? Or, wears more comfortable shoes in the first place 🤷🏻‍♀️, asking as a woman who not for one day understood the allure of high heels.. "Wer schön sein will, muss leiden."(who wants to be beautiful, needs to endure the pain.) we Germans say. Sorry, zero compassion on that case, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    That being said, that is not to say that the account name “Nugget” rings no bells; on the contrary, the wordplay leaves us wondering whether it has to do more with a lump of gold or some other substance, a valuable idea or a person acting stupidly. The account has 10 million followers on Instagram.

    As Chloe Arkenbout, Jack Wilson, and Daniel De Zeeuw state in their introduction to “Critical meme reader”: “Memes are bastards, and we love them for it.” The way they explain such an idea is that memes merge many seemingly incompatible qualities, such as sense and nonsense or signification and circulation. The authors go as far as to acknowledge that the term ‘meme’ itself exhibits a certain level of ‘stupidity’ because it repeats itself twice as kids often love to do when playing or teasing one another.

    However, the meme’s ‘stupidity’ is not unintentional, as the scholars put it: “it is not ashamed” of it, on the contrary, this repetition and a certain level of ‘stupidity’ is a generative principle of the meme. The authors cite Einstein, saying: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” and in many contexts, that is true; however, to an extent, it might very well be funny, especially when brought up to be so.

    In his study “The ‘grotesque’ in Instagram memes”, Idil Galip discusses specifically the memes from Instagram and the grotesque as their essential element. Galip notes that the word grotesque comes from the word ‘grotto’ associated with feelings and senses of being damp and bizarre, as is one’s laughter and the uncanny feeling described as grotto-esque and caused by a thing of the sort.

    While discussing grotesque memes, the author uses the distinction discussed by Mary Ruso between two types of grotesque. First, there is the comic grotesque and, second, there is the grotesque as uncanny linked to feelings of unease and fear. He notes that while researching the internet for meme artists on Instagram, he found both types of grotesque to be widely used.

    Idil Galip ends his article by noting that, as opposed to the carnivals from previous historical periods, the ‘carnival’ of digital life, as he calls it, is uninterrupted and continuous. “It is available for consumption, spectatorship and participation around-the-clock”. And what connects all the different activities and things associated with such memes is, according to the researcher, the experience of “in-betweenness”. 

    According to the researcher, similarly, as the Middle Ages carnival experience was something between penance and festivity, in the digital world, it is the experience of something between embodiment and virtuality. However, they both share the effect of creating ambivalent laughter in people.

    Can't sleep? Shut your computer screen or TV off. Blue light is bad in this instance. Instead, turn on a relaxation video of soothing sounds and while calmly doing breathing exercises until you drift off.

    Once, my dorm roommate's friend organised a speed dating event. There weren't enough women, so the roommate and I agreed to go. Oh, boy. I'm an introvert. Couldn't do that without alcohol. One guy was fooled so badly he wanted to meet again! Ha!

    This is a few steps up from my (now) husband's apartment when we started dating. It was all given to him by older friends when they got into relationships.The thrift shops wouldn't take anything when he moved out. It got passed down to a younger friend. I imagine it's still out there. Circle of life.

    Way back, just out of high school, I worked in a mall. Stores opened at 10m, but the old people had been amassing in the mall an easy hour earlier. They would peer in at us while we got things ready. Kinda freaky, like a low-budget horror film.
