When I went to therapy, my psychologist told me that worrying is a form of OCD. Ever since then I worry that I have OCD.
Detroit Citizen 1 day ago (edited)
@keyboardtek I actually have that. I call it the doom and gloom compulsion. Before seeking help i couldnt help but think worse case and make a plan by running what ifs about possible outcomes in my head. I told myself it was so i could be ready for any outcome. I also get a sense of doom, like a pressure pushing down on me. Ive been on meds since August. We figured it out and i feel so much better. Having it can be really exhausting. It even affects your personal life, relationships, etc. And yeah, sometimes when im a little stressed, i remember to recognize i have it, then yup, i start to stress if im doing the doom and gloom or if this is a normal stress.

Funny how people make up scary stories about other people they don’t even know (migrants, foreigners, “others” of any kind) and get scared, but the ultimate, proven scare story - global warming - they are like “Nah, I’m good with that, it’s just a myth.”

If you’re even a little guilty of endlessly scrolling through social media, chances are you’ve stumbled upon a meme that made you stop, laugh, and maybe even hit “share.” Memes have become a universal language of the internet, cutting across age groups, countries, and cultures. Whether it’s a relatable joke, a clever observation, or pure absurdity, memes are everywhere. They’ve evolved from simple image macros into a powerful form of digital expression. Today, memes are how people react, vent, and connect online.

Great joke, love p!nk, but comfortably numb is an absolute banger
Mary Ingram-Waters, Ph.D., associate dean and professor at the University of Nevada–Reno Honors College, explains why memes work so well. “Memes have to be translatable within a particular demographic group — a group that has a shared language, shared meanings, shared culture,” she says. That shared understanding is what makes a meme instantly funny or relatable. But the ones that truly go viral manage to cross those boundaries. They resonate with people from different backgrounds, making them widely recognizable and shareable.

Better cooking tip: unfollow anyone who advocates for kale smoothies (yuck!) and do it the Dutch way: mashed potatoes with boiled kale, gravy and sausage or meatballs (or a vegetarian version of those) is AMAZING. That's the reason kale exists, in my opinion.

My kale smoothie recipe is the best. Just substitute chocolate ice cream for the kale and then you have a kale smoothie that can't be beat.

Back in 2020, Instagram reported that over one million memes were being shared every single day, and that number has almost certainly grown since then. Memes spread fast because they’re easy to consume and even easier to pass along. Sharing a joke or a meme often signals shared values, experiences, or perspectives. It’s a subtle way of saying, “You get it too.” In many ways, memes have replaced long conversations with instant understanding.

It's been a month, and I can't stop thinking about a really nice meal I made for friends that I started a day before, worked on for hours and was super excited about. I put out snacks whilst doing finishing touches then served. I sat down and commenced with what I assumed would be a relaxing dinner with nice conversation, etc My guests we finished eating in less than 10 minutes. I had barely gotten through my salad. I tried offering seconds, but they were "stuffed." So my husband poured a bit more wine and had some conversation while I at least ate some main course, and he cleared the dishes and sent us to the living room and put everything away I felt like the lady in the painting for days.

Memes also help people say the hard things. Topics that feel awkward, emotional, or overwhelming can sometimes be easier to express through humor. A meme can capture frustration, sadness, or burnout in a way that feels lighter and more approachable. People often use memes to open conversations they wouldn’t otherwise know how to start. Humor becomes a coping tool, helping people process difficult feelings without feeling exposed.

Even politics hasn’t escaped meme culture. Memes are now widely used to comment on social issues, criticize leaders, or highlight injustices. They allow people to simplify complex topics into digestible ideas that spread quickly. For many, memes feel like a safer way to engage with serious issues without sounding confrontational. In a world overloaded with news, memes often cut through the noise.

One of the biggest reasons memes resonate so deeply is that they make people feel seen. That moment when you think, “This is literally me,” creates an instant emotional connection. Memes validate everyday struggles, insecurities, and small victories. They remind people they’re not alone in what they’re feeling. Sometimes, a single meme can say what words can’t.

Memes have even made their way into the world of money and finance. Meme coins are a type of cryptocurrency inspired by internet jokes, pop culture, or viral trends rather than traditional financial models. While they often start as humor, they can quickly build massive online communities. People trade them, invest in them, and rally around them for fun or speculation. What began as a joke has, in some cases, turned into real economic movement.
