The internet is a messy place, full of debates, drama, and doomscrolling. But sometimes, the best way to survive it is to embrace the nonsense.

A perfect place for that is the aptly named subreddit Delusions of Adequacy. It defies easy explanation, and that’s exactly the point. Even its own description insists no need to figure it out—after all, as it states, “if you need it explained, you won’t understand. If you understand, you won’t need it explained.” It’s pure randomness at its finest.

No need to overthink—just scroll down and enjoy some of the best recent posts.

    According to Nick, not much has changed—except for the fact that he now considers himself a full-fledged meme expert. “If it has evolved, it’s not intentional, but I was recently interviewed for a university master’s thesis on climate change memes,” he told us. “So, I feel like I can now officially call myself a meme expert. Not that I didn’t do that before—but now, I have documentation.”
