Please tell that to my wife. At age 68 she still blames her mother for taking Tylenol while pregnant for causing my wife's current health issues.

I always had a clipboard, notebook, folder... But made sure it had actual work in it. Luckily it was a car dealership and one had different buildings so we could walk between them with purpose and hide. Trust me, I worked hard. But these were my "cigarette breaks". It's hard being a woman working for Catholic in name only men owners. My coworkers were great so we covered for each other.
William Shakespeare was a genius because he truly understood the human psyche. He covered extremely universal themes in his plays, such as power, corruption, ambition, politics, revenge, fate, conflict, and most importantly, love. All of them were relatable back then. But they are also relevant today because humans stay the same.
Many things connect us, no matter how much time passes. Relatable memes might not be as grand or legendary as Willy’s plays, but the essence of “human connection” is similar in both. And speaking of memes, we associate them with something funny these days. But did you know that the word actually has academic origins?

The first one will profit someone. The second one doesn't. So, there you go.
In 1976, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins coined the term “meme” in his book titled “The Selfish Gene.” He compared biological genes to cultural ideas because both of them replicate, evolve, and get passed down from one person to another.
To describe how ideas spread and evolve, Dawkins wanted a one-syllable word that was catchy and sounded like “gene,” but also hinted at memory. So he borrowed from the French word “même” (meaning: same) and “mimeme,” derived from the Greek “mimeisthai” (meaning: to imitate), to coin the word we use today.

Today, not everyone knows why or who coined the word, but memes are pretty popular. In fact, people use them to communicate, make someone laugh, or just break the ice. Stats reveal that Instagram users share more than a whopping 1 million memes per day.
When it comes to relatable memes, they make you feel “understood.” I mean, it’s nice to know you are not the only one who has embarrassed yourself in front of your crush.

Therapist Theodora Blanchfield claims that memes get trivialized and disparaged, yet they’re an important social currency in this day and age. She shares its boons by explaining that memes:
- Create connections.
- Help you say the hard things.
- Help you build emotional capital.
- Contribute to a “shared language.”
- And help you feel seen.

Memes can also help you cope with difficulties. According to experts at Mayo Clinic, a good sense of humor isn’t a cure for everything, but laughter can do a lot of positive things. When it comes to short-term benefits, a good laugh increases feel-good chemicals called endorphins that your brain releases.
It also activates and relieves your stress response and lowers your heart rate and blood pressure. That’s why you feel better and more relaxed. Moreover, laughter can stimulate circulation and help relax muscles, which soothes tension.

Another important aspect of laughter is its long-term benefits. For instance, it can lower stress hormones that weaken the immune system and boost certain immune cells that fight illness. Guffawing over relatable memes might reduce pain and help shift your focus away from unease. Along with increasing your personal satisfaction, laughter also helps your mood.

Once in high school, I won 3rd place in a regional round of some English competition. I got a PocketBook e-reader while 1st and 2nd place won Kindles. I'd say I had the last laugh since my humble PocketBook is still running after ~15 years while the Bezos devices have probably succumbed to planned obsolence at this point ✌️
“Many people have depression, sometimes due to chronic illnesses. Laughter can help lessen your stress, depression, and anxiety. It may also make you feel happier. And it can also improve your self-esteem,” experts add.
Moreover, when you laugh about a challenging situation, it’s almost like taking a step back from it. This allows you to see things more clearly. And sometimes, the problem no longer seems as huge as it did before.
If you are stressed about something, or just struggling with life, we hope that these relatable memes help ease some of your tension. Which ones made you feel, “OMG, this is so me!” and which ones had you chortling? Give them an upvote or share your thoughts in the comments. Also, here are some more relatable memes to help you cope with your difficulties!

Me: hey Windows, can I actually save this document on my computer without backing it up to the cloud? Windows: attempt to save document to cloud, unable to save document because no cloud access, log in to cloud to save document, you can't log in to cloud because correct password not accepted. Unable to update to the latest version of Cloud. And more. Every frickin' time.

Change that 120 to 115 please. Nobody makes it to 120 any more. It's a planned obsolescence cliff. Fewer than 1 person in 60 makes it to age 95. Only 0.03% of people are age 100 or older.

I know exactly what I need without needing a list right up until the point where I walk through the market entrance. Is there a device in that doorway that blots out one's memory? Do they do this so that you will wander up and down every aisle trying to remember why you came in, and collect all kinds of stuff you didn't come in for just because it looks good?

I've seen this before and said as a person terrified of flying I would be happy for the distraction as long as the kid's parent understood I can handle my liquor on a plane and have never been arrested. I might need the alcohol if I have someone interesting to talk to instead of my husband🤣

Some people have told me to take some, and honestly no shade but absolutely nothing I've read on non-adhd brains has ever made me want to convert to this way of living. It does indeed look unwhimsical and boring. (Obviously if it's your brain you're used to it and I'm not criticizing you)

My mom used to give us a salt shaker & send us outside. She told us if we shook salt onto a bird, it would turn its head to eat it and we could catch the bird. Mom needed a break.

One rental house years ago. Previous owner had rewired it according to, let us say idiosyncratic, personal design. Had snipped off the main grounding wire. Reversed most switches. Installed a nice metal case around ancient fusebox. Fuses kept blowing. Replacing a fuse, I got shock.off fusebox lid! This matters in Aust as power kinda lethal. Actual government inspector came round (a lugubrious gentleman) and explained that toaster migt have gone live.. They had to turn power off at the street pole to rewire. Then there was the insulation in roof, one big rat nest!!
