It has been said that laughter is the best medicine. And even in times of extreme turmoil, it seems to be true. When U.S. President Donald Trump recently announced sweeping tariffs on imports into America, stock markets took a tumble. But instead of wallowing in despair, quick-thinking netizens flooded the internet with memes. Suddenly penguins were everywhere. It turns out Trump had also decided to slap taxes on Antarctic-Australia islands that aren’t inhabited by people but are home to thousands of flightless birds. The viral memes have caused a collective roar of laughter at a dire economic situation that really is no laughing matter.
It's a classic example of how memes can not only bring people together, but also help make us feel a bit better when things seem to be heading south. If you're ever in need of a good dose of meme-induced laughter, look no further than the Today Years Old IG account. With more than 9 million followers, the page is clearly doing something right. It shares facts, funnies, and a few completely random posts. Bored Panda has picked the best of them to see you through yet another less-than-cheerful news week.

Many people would prefer not to read in-depth articles about politics... But that doesn't stop millions from enjoying or sharing a good, well-timed political meme. Statistics show that 60% of memes are related to politics. And that political memes are an effective way to get millennials involved in politics. The more memes they see, the more likely they are to participate in political discourse, and sometimes even voting.

If people can have therapy monkeys, I feel I shouldn’t be denied a therapy speedboat, even if it is slightly harder to fit in the cabin of a plane.

I know someone who got a jacuzzi hot tub paid by insurance because they needed it for their bad back. But that was in the 80s. Now I can't even get them to pay for PT for my back.

If you can find a doctor to say a speedboat is necessary, you deserve it.

I would agree, but I worked in health insurance. There's only so many people you can hear argue that a toddler's ear piercing should be covered by their medical insurance before you lose all hope. And for me, that number was one.

Sambear, with all the joking aside, right now there is a motion in California that the insurance company cannot refuse a claim made by a doctor as medically needed unless they have their own doctor check out the person. An insurance company cannot simply say No. you might even be able to guess whose name you're using to name the bill.

I have honestly seen a prescription - like on a prescription pad - for "a house on the west side of Maui where the trade winds provide clean air." She had chemical sensitivity. He assumed we'd be like, sure doc no sweat. Yeah I do medical administration.

If she can afford her own hot air balloon, she can afford customization as well.

Exchange fish. Deep down at 1000m there’s a flying fish hanging out with a bunch of angler fish. He doesn’t speak their language, he’s baffled by the food they eat and honestly he’s all in the dark about the whole situation….
