Memes have been a popular means of expression in the digital age. While they are primarily a source of entertainment, these images that quickly go viral have also been effective tools to promote political agendas, for better or worse. 

Longtime Bored Panda readers, you know we’re more about the fun and laughter. You’re about to see content from the Zesty Supreme Facebook page, an online haven for 1.4 million people to relate with each other through humorous memes about the random aspects of life. 

We’ve compiled a list of posts about the struggles of getting up early for work, using a word processor, and the ridiculousness of some TV ads. You will likely relate to many of these, so enjoy scrolling through!

You’ve likely killed some valuable time scrolling through some of our meme articles. These images are instant sources of quick laughs when you need them. During the pandemic, experts saw them as a source of positive emotions. 

A 2021 study by a Penn State University research team found that memes boost good vibes, which helped people deal with COVID-related stress at the height of the pandemic.

Another 2021 study shared a similar finding, noting that memes were beneficial for people suffering from anxiety during the pandemic. These images often had a humorous take even on serious issues, adding some much-needed levity during a stressful time. 

The researchers described memes as a “therapeutic” and “beneficial coping mechanism” because of their relatability. 

“The use of humor itself may down-regulate negative and up-regulate positive emotions,” an excerpt from the study reads.

Since many people see them as a tool to find solace and humor, memes create a shared experience. Strangers online develop connections with each other. As pointed out by psychologist Dr. Mark Travers in an article for Forbes, they “foster a feeling of ‘I’m not alone in this.’”

Dr. Travers used the famous “distracted boyfriend” as an example of a relatable meme that depicts human relationship dynamics in a way that resonates with many. You’ll see it in the multitude of versions online.

In his article, Dr. Travers noted that memes are an effective way to express difficult emotions. He mentioned a 2020 study that revealed how people with depression find humor in memes that draw out their pain points and struggles. 

“The use of dark humor in memes helps individuals confront and share challenging topics in a less threatening way,” he wrote.

Artists and media managers were non-essential? Then where did all of those COVID-19 informational commercials, PSAs, brochures, websites, posters, etc. come from?

The higher conceptual thinking that the ability to make art represents is key to our identity as a species. But yeah I guess the leap to modern human behaviour and all it brought was non-essential.

As an artist: mmm, yeah I kinda agree. Yes, art is very important, but it's not essential. We can live without it.

Yes but the real power move is combining jobs. A doctor can't clean restrooms while doing a prostrate exam but a telemarketer can draw things while wearing a phone headset. /J

Dr. Travers concluded that memes can make a “surprising difference” to your day. However, he also mentioned an important caveat: memes aren’t to be solely relied on for connection and support. 

He noted that relatability and humor can “provide a momentary escape” to remind us that we “are part of a larger, supportive community.” This makes them a “timeless coping mechanism.”

Option two is they show gameplay in the ad that doesn't resemble anything like the actual game. Bonus points if the ad mentions how some games do that but not us

Fake or not, at least the landlord knows rats can be pets! Though, uh, rats usually wouldn’t be in the bathroom unless you’re running a hot shower (rats NOT in the shower) for them so the steam helps with any respiratory issues.

Cigarettes are something society could actually stand to ban. They serve no purpose besides poisoning people and the planet, they are literally just an addictive cancer stick.

This happened on Wednesday (sorry for the long rant but I gotta vent to someone): I find out that the guy I like (Lets call him Tom) likes this other girl (Lets call her Emma). Tom actually sends his cousin to Emma to ask her out for him. Emma says maybe but not now. I hear the convo and boom I run away like Lightning McQueen. I reach my class and burst into tears. My first ever heartbreak! Especially because me and Tom were really good friends and I had his number and we texted and talked alot, so I thought there was a chance but whatevs. ANYWAY I go back home, and text him that I heard him and his cousin and that I like him. Tom responds rly nicely and says that no he doesnt like me and that he likes Emma. I said yea thanks for being nice and we can still be friends yadayda and he fcking leaves me on read that pos ANYWAY cue the next day I have volleyball training. Hes on the guys team, and Emma's on the girls team. I couldn't focus. This happened 5 days ago. Thank u for listening :)

THeir stereotype is hating on other generations. I hope that's the minority, pointless hatred and generalization of groups belongs in the history books.
