It’s safe to assume that everyone likes to feel heard or have someone—or something—they can relate to, be it a friend from school or internet content that feels like a hug. In the digital age, the latter often comes in the form of memes, as many meme enthusiasts would likely agree.

Today, we want to shed light on some of such memes. So if you’re looking for some relatable content, scroll down to find posts shared by the meme treasure trove titled ‘Puberty Hits’, and take comfort in the fact that whatever the situation you’re dealing with, you’re likely not alone.

    Scrolling through something we can relate to might be appealing for many reasons, the main one arguably being that we’re familiar with the feeling it evokes, be it good or bad. Depending on the content, it might elicit a nostalgic sigh, awaken the butterflies in our stomach, or make us cringe hard, as it can bring us right back to the time when we experienced the depicted situation firsthand.

    Bearing in mind that memes often cover instances that are based on social interactions, the joys and burdens of everyday life, or other scenarios likely experienced by many, and that there are thousands if not millions of them created every day, it’s no surprise that memes are often the content people tend to relate to.

    Do you know the scene where whales jump out of water, rotate and let themselves fall back into the water with a big splash? That's my husband about 100 times per night.

    Another reason memes tend to be the content people feel they can relate to is their rather simple structure. Giving a brief look at an image with a witty caption takes less time before one can say “I know what this feels like!”, compared to reading through numerous pages describing the same situation in great detail.

    The "juice" is held between two plastic layers, giving the illusion of a full bottle. when tilted upside-down, all the liquid falls into the cap area where it can't be seen.

    “Relatability is the chief psychological lubricant that glides you thoughtlessly down the curated, endless scroll of your feed,” the writer, editor, and photographer Jeremy D. Larson once wrote for the New York Times. Perfectly summing up what the word now means in the context of social media, he continued to point out that it was added to people’s vocabularies back in the 1940s but only entered mainstream circulation in the 1980s.

    In addition to providing a sense of comfort to netizens, relatability in the context of social media can bring monetary benefits, too. Nowadays, consumers—whose financial decisions are often influenced by social media—seem to be increasingly drawn to brands and companies sharing relatable content, rather than a picture-perfect image of life, which often feels unattainable. The former type enables the company, brand, or organization to connect with the customer and earn their trust easier, consequently creating a stronger relationship with them.

    My father taught me when I was a kid: If you love flowers, don't cut them off. Let them alive, so more people may appreciate their beauty and smell them.

    Y'all LOVE to talk property value when a black man enters the chat. Maybe he asked the owner, maybe he has a garden, maybe he lives at home and his mother or grandmother has a garden, maybe he lives near a public space where he could cut less than twenty flowers, maybe it was a sweet gesture and you have to talk about destruction of property and act like HE is the problem. You people are gross.

    That's sweet. I had a wildflower patch in the parking strip in front of my house. It was also a bus zone, so it was about 6 feet deep by 20 feet wide. I put a sign in it that said "Please feel free to pick the flowers, but don't be greedy". A little boy (maybe 6?) came up and knocked on the door to ask if I could help him "make a bookay" for his Mom as she was coming home from the hospital that day with his new baby sister. Could hardly find my scissors because of those damn Onion Ninjas.

    I can't help but remember the dude who cut off ALL the roses on a sweet old ladies rose bushes to give his girlfriend a bouqet. People don't get the time and effort and money goes into beautiful flowers, and have no shame robbing the gardener of the enjoyment of their hard work.

    A visual representation of "I demonstrate that I am a respectful human being by blatantly disrespecting other people's space, property, and hard work". What next? "Here honey, I got you a diamond engagement ring that I took from an old lady who I happened to knock over"? Fvck louis, BTW.

    What happened to the days that you could pick flowers without trespassing and no one cared. This is such a cute gesture he could have been lazy and bought them but he took the time to make it special. If flowers were growing in my front garden have at them. They will die anyway this way a girl feels happy and appreciated.

    I don't have a garden, but I feel it's rude to take flowers from someone's garden (without permission). Everyone can enjoy the beauty of flowers while they are in a garden, but when you cut them and bring them home only you can see that.

    Crazy how so many here calling it theft I get it but seriously it's not that serious. Y'all so damn negative and what's wrong with this world. I remember a time people didn't mind someone picking a flower from their garden. Often times people ask first. So damn uptight.

    No, salty hag, it's not nothing. People who garden do so because they love it, and spend money on their hobby. Not for some stranger to come and take what they please. It's not being uptight, "y'all" 🙄

    Statistics seem to support the idea that companies and brands can benefit from relatable content, especially memes. Surveys suggest that more than 60% of respondents say they are more likely to purchase something from businesses that use memes in their marketing. In addition to that, meme campaigns reportedly achieve 14% higher click-through rates (CTR) than good old email marketing.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Even if a meme ends up not attracting any paying customers, it can increase brand awareness, as good memes tend to spread like wildfire. According to Gitnux, back in 2013, the ‘Doge’ meme was shared more than 1,000,000 times on Facebook alone. A similar number of shares on the platform was accumulated by the ‘This Is Fine’ meme in 2020. In 2017, memes of beloved ‘Kermit the Frog’ were reportedly shared more than two million times on Instagram.

    These are just a few examples of how popular memes can get, as they clearly are one of the netizens’ most beloved forms of content. If you belong to those who enjoy a good meme—and judging by the fact that you ended up on this list, you probably do—you’re in luck, as here at Bored Panda we have plenty; feel free to visit our meme category, brimming with all sorts of relatable content, and explore your options. Happy scrolling!

    Looking at this and comparing it to my childhood gifts & toys - approx 1959 - 70. I remember wood and metal, cloth and cardboard. Everything lasted for years, too. By comparison this just looks like a bunch of trash.
