Happy Monday, freaks! Time may be an absolutely ridiculous concept at this point, but there's something about the first day of the office-life workweek that continues to stink to high heaven. To combat the feelings of despair, hopelessness, and boredom, we've put together this very varied gallery that might help distract you from your pain. At the very least we know they won't hurt you more. 

Bored? Forget the Snickers. What you need is a healthy serving of humor. These memes cover all the bases: nerdy, historical, relatable, and just plain dumb. As a bonus, we can guarantee they won't give you cavities or leave bits of peanuts stuck in your teeth. 

This silly Tumblr thread aims to settle the ongoing "is a hot dog a sandwich?" debate by bringing the unifying cube theory into play. The thing about that whole cube theory though is that it only ends up leaving behind a whole lot more confusion than was already there in the first place. With that being said, I'm totally on board with calling those little smokies/mini hot dogs in the puff pastry, sushi. 

Look at those guys. This strange horticultural technique called Espalier aims to grow trees in a flat manner, which can end up increasing fruit yield, and maximizing or minimizing sunlight exposure. Tinker around with that sunlight exposure, and you're actually able to capitalize on more fruitful growing seasons. With all the benefits of Espalier having been noted, there's no getting around the fact that it does look like a real life take on the infamous video game, Terraria. 

Check out some more weird tree lore with this Tumblr thread about how trees are low key monsters.

The world is going to sh*t and there's really nothing we can do about it from the comfortable discomfort of our homes. The best we can do is try to salvage what's left of our mental health and try to keep our chins up. One way to self-soothe is by looking at memes. And here's a crap ton of them. 

This fun Tumblr thread escalates quickly after a few folks share their hilarious experiences with befriending some of the hard working, earnest Roombas of the world. It considers what it'd look like if there were a knife-wielding Roomba on board a human starship, and all the kinds of chaos that would inevitably ensue. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr thread about how humans are weird, durable space orcs.

There's something just plain old spooky about discovering a hidden staircase or suspect deadbolt that someone at some point in history went out of their way to hide from everyone. In this case, we're encouraged by the fact that those scratch marks apparently indicate this was likely some tomfoolery. For some more gold from the world of Tumblr, check out this Tumblr post about how spiders rule the world's cranberry bogs.

It's weird. Humans have this ingrained proclivity to attach themselves to the most unexpected objects. Like, for instance, a Roomba. You never know. You find that Roomba cleaning up your perfect mess and suddenly you're infatuated with this beautiful piece of technology.

Talk about an Incredible discourse. We can always count on the wandering minds of Tumblr to put their heads together, and churn out some real gems. This particular roundtable discussion centers on the infamous film, "The Incredibles." Maybe one of the best superhero movies of all time. So many easter eggs and intricate patterns throughout the film. The only question is how much of what's being discussed was intentional on the part of the filmmakers vs. pure coincidence? 

Monday Punday! We've put together this assortment of groan-worthy pun posts to help you avoid today's brutal reality. You're welcome.
