Human emotions are a funny thing; you might be feeling ecstatic one moment and become completely devastated the next. If you've ever related to that Pedro Pascal meme where his laughing face changes to a crying face in a second, you're in the right place.
The Internet has been in an interesting collective state in the past few years. We know the world is in a pretty bad place, but all most of us can do is laugh and meme about it. The "Funny and Sad" community reflects this sentiment pretty well, and here we have the newest selection from them for you to feel happy, sad, and confused by.

It Is A Facepalm To %1 Billionaires
We might think that crying and laughter are two very different emotions. But think about it: haven't you laughed so hard that you started feeling tears fall down your face at least once in your life? Yale University psychologist Dr. Oriana R. Aragón and her team claim that it's the body's way to regulate itself.
"People may be restoring emotional equilibrium with these expressions," she explained. "They seem to take place when people are overwhelmed with strong positive emotions, and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions."

Well Said
But this list is hardly about crying from laughter, is it? It's more about things that make us feel so desperate and helpless that we feel that all we can do is cry. Sometimes, we use laughter and humor to deflect so that we don't feel as much empathy.
As psychoanalyst and author of To Heal a Wounded Heart Pilar Jennings explains, sometimes laughter is the body's way of saying "I can't deal with this." If we allow ourselves to empathize with the person or the problem on a deeper level, we might open ourselves up to the same emotion. Thus, humor acts like a protective shield.

This Is Exactly What It Feels Like
People also laugh when they're anxious or uncomfortable. Researchers speculate that it's how we relax in stressful situations, similar to laughter's function when we see something funny. Margaret Clark, professor of psychology at Yale University and co-author of the study "Dimorphous Expressions of Positive Emotion", also hypothesizes that it's how we let other people know that we need help to down-regulate our nervousness.

I love this kinda thing. Being gay, I love disproving Bible thumpers. My response is simple. READ THE ENTIRE BIBLE, INCLUDING THE APOCRYPHAL TEXTS THAT WERE REMOVED. then you'll see that there's nothing wrong with it at all. It's all the different denominations and cherry picked Bibles that are the issue

I like to point out one only god can judge. Two it's a sin to be offended so there for them being offended by gay people is a sin so you all sinners at that point by their book

Let's face reality. The Bible has been seriously lost in translation over the last couple millennia. There were monks like Jerome who tweaked portions. So, the whole word of god stuff is just brainwashing. And, I think Leviticus hid behind homophobia because he was jealous of the guys who never invited him to parties.

Talking animals, men outrunning chariots, people strong enough to knock down buildings, turning water into blood, prophecies and visions of the future, witches raising spirits, the dead coming back to life, not to mention all the references to kraken, monsters in the depths of the ocean, and dragons. The Bible is cool as heaven.

Transgender people exist. As do people who are genderfluid and people who are non-binary. So yes, people who are born physically male can be "girls", and people who are born physically female can be "boys".

The "Funny and Sad" subreddit also fits in pretty well with the type of humor millennials enjoy. When we think about the TV shows, movies, and other media that we're consuming at the moment, it's hard not to notice how dark and absurd some of it is. In her article for The Guardian "'Horrifyingly absurd': how did millennial comedy get so surreal?" Rachel Aroesti points to shows like Rick and Morty, The Good Place, and BoJack Horseman.

Nathaniel He/Him Cis-Het 1 day ago
Literally anything that might help people or the community.....SOCIALISM! Get your commie butts out of here!
Aroesti seeks to answer the question "Why is millennial humor so weird?" and suggests that it reflects the sentiments of many young people that the world just doesn't make sense anymore. In 2017, The Washington Post offered another reason: we're becoming more rootless with the delay of marriage, kids, and home ownership, and disillusion with religion, so all that gets reflected in the comedy and the content online that we consume.

Aroesti calls the shows she listed "sadcoms" and describes them as "a strain of comedy-drama shuddering under the weight of personal hardship and the idea that actual jokes are largely unnecessary." This type of humor, according to her, pierces the panic-inducing online news cycle and gives us at least some reprieve from the world going to bits.

The world would be so much funnier if people like this just got automatically deported. If I was in charge I'd make that a rule for a laugh. I remember before the Brexit vote seeing people on the news with clearly non-English accents saying they shouldn't let any more of those foreigners in. lmao

Funny
Gen Z, in turn, amp up their attraction to dark humor by laughing at their own trauma and hardships. Much of Gen Z's humor reflects their struggles with mental health conditions and the dystopic state of the world. Some say that Gen Z is the most honest generation yet: they call it as they see it.

I'm currently going through something with my partner where I think it's probably going to end and one of the scariest things is that I can't really afford to live on my own. I have a decent job with the state and hardly spend money on "luxuries" but even just sticking with bare minimum it'd be so tight. So, now possibly staying in an unhealthy relationship because I literally cannot afford not to. Sorry to over share. :(
