Well. We've got to hand it to the optimistic people who thought all the world's problems would dissolve when the clock struck midnight on January 1st. There's been absolutely no end to the mental pain and suffering. Yesterday's incident at the Capitol was absolutely surreal (and stupid) and guess what? We also hit a new record of Covid-19 deaths. If all of this is too much to handle, you're definitely not alone. And we're here to hand off some memes that should help take your mind off it all, even if only for a little while. 

While we realize that not everyone qualifies for Mensa, these posts shout out people who have somehow managed to take stupid to the next level. And we have to admit we're completely here for it. There's something extremely satisfying about witnessing someone exhibit a lack of intelligence that rivals your own. It's a sick ego boost, but we'll take doses of elevated self-image when and where we can get them. We just hope these poor souls invest some of their time into exercising their brains and familiarizing themselves with common sense. They clearly need all the help they can get. 

If you're looking to inject your year with even more drama (albeit harmless), consider exploring the insanely popular game Among Us. The murder mystery game, which is available on Steam, seems to have won the hearts of hardcore gamers and the desperately bored alike. It's not hard to see why. The simple game boasts intrigue, strategy, and a whole lot of shit talking. What more could a listless internet user want? 

For those of you who already appreciate the game and its many opportunities for comedy, we humbly present these memes. They may bring back memories of conflict and betrayal, but they're pretty damn funny.

The absolute mayhem at the Capitol yesterday has been on everyone's mind for the last 24 hours. It was scary. It was volatile. People died. Politicians are comparing the attack on democracy to memorable events like Pearl Harbor. Pundits are scrutinizing the actions of both sides, and everyone's realizing that 2021 ain't looking so sweet. While it's all very overwhelming, we do take solace in the fact that Twitter is able to take even situations like yesterday's insurrection and turn it into something funny. And that's exactly what @itsmeRachie did by asking the site to name a place with tighter security than the Capitol. Given the laughable lack of security (or perhaps competent security), the thread prompted scads of amusing jokes, with punchlines that not only cover places (Walmart, CVS) but objects that are famously tough to get into, like plastic cake boxes and clamshell packaging. The thread quickly went viral, and is still growing both in strength and hilarity. We put together some of our favorite responses, but by the time you read this we're sure there'll be more gold where these tweets came from.

Dae ye talk Scots? Well, you might want to start. We don't hear much of the language IRL, but we run into it a lot on Twitter. And our lives are better because of that. The phonetic brogue makes pretty much everything ten times funnier, and because it's literally a different language, challenges our brains more than we're used to. Which is always a blessing. We've put together some solid gems from the hilarious Scottish Twitterverse - we hope you enjoy them, too. 

Anyone who's on Facebook likely has boomer relative somewhere who uses the social network to ask for advice about creating PDFs, or accidentally makes public events instead of sending private messages, or complains about innocuous problems, like the neighbor's dog barking too loudly. Well there's a Facebook group called 'a group where we all pretend to be boomers' and it's exactly what it sounds like. Everyone in the group must stay in character at all times, making for an absolutely spot on parody of the Facebook world of boomers. We've captured some gold moments from the group to give you a taste of what it's like. 

We've all come across one in the wild at some point. That acquaintance from high school you haven't spoken to in literally nine years who slides into your DMs for one nefarious purpose...to convince you to buy into a non-salaried workforce by peddling bullshit no one wants to buy, all under the guise of 'entrepreneurship.' Yes, we're talking about multi-level marketing schemes and scammers, baby! The truly sad thing about MLM is that the grifter is oftentimes just a victim of grifting themselves, caught in an endless cycle of preying on the down and out. We're all just trying to get through our own personal hells, so it's pretty infuriating to see these big pyramid selling companies succeed at exploiting us even more. 

If you're as fed up as us with all this wicked MLM nonsense, you'll surely get a kick out of these posts and memes that share your sentiment. 

Greetings, internet traveler. It's time to wake up and smell the memes because we've got a hearty serving of entertaining content that could brighten even the most jaded spirit. Take a break and enjoy a well-deserved chuckle or two.

That's why we like to put together a digestible dose of the good stuff. Sit back, relax, and enjoy some tweets. 

Until recently, we didn't think eating was that hard. If you weren't raised by wolves, chances are you can employ cutlery with ease, and know the proper way to eat a burrito or a slice of pizza. It's not rocket science. But somehow, there are people who are alive and exist who make a terrible mockery of the conventions of consumption. It's time for us to raise awareness and take a stand against these absolute monsters. 

We can say with a good deal of certainty that many horrific historic events are glossed over in textbooks, at least in the United States. This partial picture of the past can be pretty misleading at best, and honestly damaging at its worst. History memes, however, take part in very little of that rosy selective memory. Instead, they pretty much roast every damn empire, government, and war that has ever existed. And for that reason, they may be more educational than any of the expensive tomes they assign you in school. These memes make for some pretty great proof. 

If you're looking for memes, you've come to the right place. This batch has a little something for everyone. Hate your life from waking til slumber? Yep, there's some humor here for you. Can't seem to get your shit together? You guessed it. We've got the memes for you. Just need something dumb to laugh at while you kill time? We've got tons of goodies for you. So sit back, relax, and try to enjoy the memes. 

If you're a fan of cooking competition shows, there's no shortage of 'em to choose from. The hectic vibe of Guy's Grocery Games. The professionalism and drama of Top Chef. The sob stories of Chopped. But where craziness is concerned, there's really nothing like the absolute chaos of Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen. There's sabotage, steep falls from grace, and (of course) some very good looking food. If you haven't indulged in the program, these memes will give you a taste of what the show is all about. And if you have? Well, you'll laugh along with the rest of us.
