If there's one thing we can garner from both real life and the internet, it's that animals are absolutely better than humans. Frankly, we don't deserve them. As pets, they help us with hard times. In the wild, they both humble us and give us something to admire. And in these memes, comics, and shitposts, they're still able to lift our spirits and turn our frowns upside down.

With all of the bad sh*t happening in the world right now, we just hope that you're staying safe and staying sane. To aid in that, we've provided some memes for your troubles.

If you're an equal opportunity meme consumer, you're going to love this super-sized gallery. It's got a little big of everything. You a programmer? There's something here for you. Enjoy political memes? Weird, but we've got some memes here for you. And if you enjoy painfully self-deprecating humor, there's more than enough to go around. You're welcome.

We love a good cursed food pic, but sometimes you need a little humor mixed in with your cringe. That's where the Instagram account @boyswhocancook comes in. They're pumping out the perfect mix of abhorrent culinary disasters and hilarious food memes, so depending on your mood you'll either wretch in horror or chuckle at McChickens. Here's a selection of their latest and greatest posts, but we urge you to give 'em a follow so you're never left wanting. 

Some stories that exist out there sound like they're straight out of a movie. They can't possibly be true, right? Not so - writer Aidan Moher tweeted out the other day asking people to share their most unbelievable true stories, and let us just say...the people delivered.

At this point we all feel like sh*t every single day, because 2020 just won't let up. We would tell you to browse through these pics to make you feel better about your own life, but honestly these things sound way better than what we're dealing with IRL. So scroll down for some superficial fails and forget about your real-world problems for just a few minutes!

As younger people abandon Facebook for Instagram and TikTok, it seems like we're more aware of all the crazies that frequent the social networking site. Some of the best places to find unhinged and ignorant people are mommy/parenting groups. There's an overwhelming number of Covid-19 nonbelievers, people who do extremely weird sh*t with breast milk, and of course - lots of talk of essential oils. If the children are our future, and they're being raised by these people, we might be more screwed than we thought. 

Problematic Youtube star Logan Paul doesn't have the best track record where ethics are concerned. Between his controversial Suicide Forest video from 2017 and some offensive views on homosexuality, Logan Paul was pretty low on our list of people who might be able to make a difference in the Black Lives Matter movement. But the elder Paul brother has surprised most of the internet with a passionate and sincere episode of 'Impaulsive' that decries police brutality and bluntly states that "America is racist."

Logan Paul and his co-hosts spend the episode explaining the explosive situation at hand, and the problem of racism within the police force. They applaud protesters for destroying Confederate monuments and beg followers to take action against racism. The most widely praised moment of the hour-long episode is when Paul confesses to his audience: "Listen closely. One of my biggest learnings from all of this and I am embarrassed that it has taken me 25 years to realize this: It is not enough to be 'not racist'. You have to be anti-racist."

Those are some powerful words to relay to an audience of over 2.26 million. And it's a much better message than the one left by his younger brother, Jake Paul, who was filmed with looters in Arizona. Logan's choice to urge his audience to do better is a move we admire - and one that many people of Twitter seem to admire, too.

If you're ever feeling bad about yourself, just take a stroll through the following posts from people who missed very obvious jokes. We're pretty sure they'll boost your self-confidence. Check out /r/woooosh for more cringe material!

It's easy to take communication for granted. And we shouldn't. The ins and outs of language are actually fascinating, whether you're talking about the written or spoken word. And there are so many jokes to be made about the words we use to convey information. Some of the examples in this gallery are pretty terrible puns, but there's also a lot of cleverness. You may even learn something new.

Comebacks are really their own art form. It takes a lot of quick wit and creativity to think of the perfect way to roast someone, after all. So scroll down for some clever roasts and insults, and then click here for more!

Let's just get this out of the way: 2020 has been the worst year of most of our lives to date. We're all tired and we don't want to think anymore. These memes aren't much, but we hope they'll help you temporarily recharge your brain!

While many things may seem uncertain right now, there's one thing we can definitely count on: memes. Even as unrest and illness plague the globe, meme-makers and posters are still hard at work giving us the comedy we need to survive. And we've got a whole lot of that comedy right here for you.
