existentialism

We don't have to tell you that there are memes about everything. Go ahead, think of literally anything right now...there's probably a meme about it somewhere out there. Believe us when we say we love hyper-specific memes about nerdy gaming references, ancient civilizations, wojaks, political facepalms, weird cats that like to stand on two legs—we love it all. But sometimes the funniest memes are the simple and relatable ones about the mundanities of life. Memes that make you feel less alone in your existential dread. Memes about being hungry or broke. Memes we can share with most people because we know they'll just get it.

Ah, Monday. Everyone's favorite day of the week. It's cool because you get to spend half of Sunday dreading the next day instead of actually enjoying it. Which, honestly, would probably happen even if we were unemployed. Why? Anxiety. Depression. It's hard. Coping with the crushing realities of life and death ain't easy. Wrestling with the ways in which we do our part in a capitalist society. Panicking because we don't really understand what the hell we're doing. While we all experience this to a degree, we all have our own unique struggles. Sometimes we cry in a cocoon of blankets in a dark room for hours on end. Sometimes we have panic attacks and require a soothing Xanax. And sometimes we kind of need both. Most kinds of these crises, symptoms, and feelings are covered in this gallery. It's like a Pu Pu platter of pain, baby. And god we hate that we relate to it.

As spring gets warmer and starts to emulate the summer, people all over the northern hemisphere seem to be celebrating. Happy couples taking sunny walks with their pets. Children running around the playgrounds. Sundresses come out of winter storage and make an appearance at picnics and on promenades. Many of these people are feeling like life is good again. But there are other people out there (like us) who know the truth. Sadness is still lurking - and in the scheme of things, it's hard to enjoy a day drinking romp when you know our existence is a very mere bleep on the radar of the universe. These memes, which might trigger the optimistic, do a great job of expressing our existential dread and depression. We're not here to be killjoys, but man is it good to feel seen.

The winter solstice and a new year are almost upon us as many prepare for their nth quarantine of the year. Seems like the perfect time to reflect on both deep history and the recent past. What better way to embrace a little introspection than with some dank memes. Maybe a philosopher would disagree, but we'd argue that memes can complement any vibe. And if you're feeling a bit too existential in these trying times, maybe these silly gifts from the internet will lighten your mood.

The world is going up in flames and quarantine/lockdown ain't helping the existential crises we are already plagued with. Fortunately for all of us cooped up in our homes, Chats With The Void is here to provide some dark, existential and sometimes wholesome animal comics to keep us sane. If you like what you see, give 'em a follow on Instagram or Twitter. 

These memes are for nihilists and pessimists alike who believe that life inherently has no meaning. It's not a healthy way to live, but in the times we're living in, is there even any other way to think? Now go thank Friedrich Nietzsche for your horrible outlook on life! Thanks Nietzsche!

It seems that whatever higher power is watching over us certainly wants us all dead. In 2020 alone we've dealt with plague, UFOs, wildfires, murder hornets, and who the hell knows what's next. Does anything even matter anymore? We're starting to think the answer to that is no. So here are 23 memes about the fact that life literally has no meaning.

Sick of sappy sh*t? Us too. Nihilism is basically the belief that Existence is meaningless and we're all going to perish eventually. And let's not even get into asking what the hell the meaning of life is. Why not at least have a little fun for the short amount of time you'll occupy this earth? You can start with these nihilism memes but it really doesn't matter if you do or don't. Nothing does.

This gallery really has it all: memes, tweets and Tumblr posts, oh my! Memes just for the LOLs, tweets to make you feel heard, and Tumblr posts for the existential-crisis-having human you are. Because why not? Life is completely meaningless anyway, so you might as well have something to laugh about!

We don't know about you, but it's February and that means that we are completely in the thick of our seasonal depression. Instead of turning to yoga practice, Pure Moods, or wholesome memes, we've decided to lean into the despair and stare right back at the abyss. If you like what you see here then we didn't do our jobs right, perhaps another batch of nihilist memes will solve that problem if we even cared about solving problems since nothing matters anyways 

Tony Hawk was pretty much a household name for every kid in the '90s. Nowadays, however, Mr. Hawk seems to be a forgotten faded memory of the past. These tweets tell of his awkward encounters with those who half-recognize him.

We haven't forgotten about you, Tony Hawk. We'll never forget.

They say laughter is the best medicine, so go ahead and browse on through!
