Being sad is so in right now

What a wonderful world.

Portland comedian @jayshingle is the mastermind of the bizarre and eerily depressing " Ordinary People Memes " Instagram account. The memes pair incredibly banal text with photos of, well, very ordinary people - and the results range from amusingly relatable to slightly dark and lonely.

If you ask anyone in the United States , they'll tell you that the dollar just isn't what it used to be. I used to be able to buy two big chocolate bars for that amount. Hell, I'd buy a pack of cigarettes for $4 when I was way too young to be smoking. That same pack is now $16 and change. Inflation is a b*tch.

While it is true that everyone need a paycheck , it really is not worth becoming a fried and burnt out drone in the name of capitalism…

This is the world we live in.

Shudder

Woof.

All. The. Cereal.
