There are few things more “internet” than the humble meme. Despite starting as a term to describe the “viral” spread of culture and ideas, we’ve now taken this concept to make funny images that make millions laugh across the entire world. So if you are feeling bored, tired or just a little sad, feel free to stop by and browse.
The Life” Facebook page is dedicated to hilarious, relatable and just random memes you might want to share. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and comment your thoughts below.

For those who perhaps didn’t know, the term meme didn’t used to mean what it means now. The word’s origin is, like so many things, ancient Greek, but was properly introduced into English by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene. He argued that ideas, concepts and cultural norms could “travel” and spread much like a virus.

The more modern iteration of the word most likely comes from 1993, in a Wired article by Mike Godwin. He posited that the internet had sped up Dawkins’ idea. After all, people could now share images and ideas so much faster than ever before.

Chopping wood to feed the fireplace in my house. That stove was the only source of heat. I'm old and grew up in a very remote corner of the world.

I can't tell if you are joking or not. Younger generations really might not know since most of us learned about the concept of family friendly TV shows...in the land of TV suburbia, kids would be assigned "chores.". These were simple jobs they could do that helped the family and earned the kid a small amount of spending money. Usually the chores included cleaning their room, and might also include setting the table before family meals and helping to clear the table after, and maybe taking out the garbage. The parent would then give the kid a dollar every Saturday. Or 5 dollars on TV shows in the 90's.

Speaking with husband about this totally flipped my view of the USA and how rare allowances were.

I had to do dishes, make Ice cubes (there were ice making fridges, but Nooooo), make iced tea (the South), clean the bathrooms and do my own laundry. As soon as you graduated high school, you better have a plan in place, bc you're OUT of the house (I left at 17 and finished my senior year commuting from my grandmothers house 2 cities over). My dad was a fairly awful person (still is)

I got a quarter every two weeks when I was in 4k. Gum was 30 cents. I wanted a five cent raise. I asked. Mom said she’d ask my little friends how much allowance they got. None of them had heard the term allowance. Damn market research. Damn corporate greed.

From age 9 I was allowed to live there and do every chore no matter how much school work I had. I was also forced to run up and down stairs while my father menaced me at the bottom, daily.

I also did chores because I lived there and not to get paid. But I do have 7 younger get siblings so even if we did get an allowance it would add up to a lot for my parents!

If I wanted to go somewhere, I asked for the money. I had daily chores because I was a member of the household

Allowance was, and always should be, payment for chores and contributing to the household. No work = no money. Valuable basic life lesson

I was brought up in care, and my pocket money in the early 1980s was £1.50 a week.

50c a week. This was back when 35c would buy you an order of fries and a coke at the drugstore lunch counter.

Dad said " You want money? Get a job!" I have 3 brothers and a sister, so I kinda understand. Was a paperboy all through High School. Paid for all my own school stuff.

I got $5/week for allowance for doing chores. Then I got a paper rout that paid $50/week. I decided to go on "strike" from my chores... my folks made me buy my own groceries...strike over in 2 days...no more allowance. I lost $5/week because I thought I was smart. Good parents are a little evil and pretty smart.

I had to bring my kid to one off my first classes. He took my syllabus and drew a picture of my instructor. That teacher still uses that copy of the syllabus in his class. He shows off my kid's picture and give extra credit to anyone who draws another picture of him.

I went to an “academically selective high school” and was bottom of that particular tier AS WELL as being weird AF. I see my ex-classmates on the news giving expert opinion on international economic policies while I am, for the most part, a housewife. I’d kinda like to be invited to the odd Tupperware party now and then 😆

Yes yes yes! I cannot buy things online on my phone, which I am completely competent at using, I instead must use my laptop because, well um, you know, the ahh bigger screen means I won’t muck it up, I’ll see things better, it’ll be a more legitimate purchase

I used to work for a place that required "All hands on deck" for special events. Even if it was your day off. Yeah I was going to work a six day week for that BS. No sarcasm I actually did it. I'd never do it again and I'll never let an employer talk me into that again. I'm calling in sick and if you fire me, you better be ready to hire someone else.

A good reason to book a hotel/motel room. Plus you can get often get a basic breakfast as part of the deal (unlike Air BednBreakfast ... lol)
