quarantine

Actor Chris Evans of Marvel fame has a reputation for being a do-gooder dude. His Twitter account is a constant source of wholesome amusement, and fans are particularly fond of his adorable obsession with his dog, Dodger. Earlier this week, Evans attempted to groom Dodger - an attempt that many people have had to make during quarantine. The Captain America star ended up botching the doggy haircut, and shared a photo of the aftermath on Twitter and Instagram. Fans were absolutely charmed, offering messages of support (mostly for Dodger) and sharing their photos of own dog haircuts gone wrong. We've included some of our favorite responses, but you can check out more (and creep on his amazing tweets) on his account. We really hope Dodger forgives him. 

These are truly unprecedented times and we have definitely reached unprecedented levels of boredom. There are only so many Zoom parties we can handle until we reach the breaking point. Sometimes you gotta mix it up. So here's a healthy assortment of amusing and current tweets we think you'll get a kick out of. Happy scrolling.

It's nice to see that most people around the world are complying to Covid-19 lockdowns and quarantines. It's incredibly important for us all to work together to prevent the spread and flatten the curve. But wow. This is probably the most bored many of you have ever been. And while boredom for a good cause is better than the usual tedium, we are getting pretty tired of it. But at least, as these memes show, we're far from alone in this plight. We hope relatable lockdown memes can bring you feelings of solidarity. Hang in there.

What are you looking forward to most after enduring lockdown? A drink at a bar with your buds? Going shopping? Maybe a picnic where you don't have to sit six feet apart? You're not alone in your fantasies. People on Twitter have been tweetin' their own post-quar dreams along with the very normie caption "Can't wait to walk down the aisle." The text really drives the point home: we could care less about marriage right now. Give us our aisles, whether they're in the movie theater or on a cramped airplane. 

While we're happy for all anyone who has had a "successful" friends with benefits situation, but in our experience someone almost always gets hurt. The current climate is an especially weird time for "no-strings attached" lovers. While some people are going months without seeing their sexual partners, others have instead decided to shack up for quarantine. This r/relationships post  (since deleted) deals with the latter. After a couple years  of being sexually involved, and finally after quarantining with her, this guy has started to catch feelings. The confused dude took to Reddit to express his conflicted feelings, and after the post was shared on Twitter, many users decided to share their two cents. While we think it is rotten to string someone along, it's important to remember these people are in their early twenties. It's normal for a 21 year old to be somewhat immature in love. We're just glad he seems to be wising up emotionally. 

We're huge proponents of leaning into ones' dark side - even when the world isn't quite as shitty as it is now. These memes offer up a healthy dose of misery, edge, and morbidity that will resonate with anyone who lets their negative energy shine. It's exhausting to pretend to be happy. Give yourselves a break. You deserve it.

We have to hand it to the Twitterati - they consistently serve up good, bad and hilarious takes, all within a mighty 280 character limit. While some people may find the limitation to be restrictive, we think it just forces people to think a little more before throwing their opinions and jokes into the ether. These tweets are as fresh as they get - and the cover all the bases: quarantine, that thigh-high boot meme, and (of course) some relatable and self-deprecating observations.

When it comes to memes, it's hard to be choosy and still deliver a wealth of crushable content. Sometimes things seem a little too basic or relatable. Sometimes the memes reek of Facebook mom. You'll find memes that fall into both categories in this gallery. But there's nothing wrong with that. We all need mediocrity to make sure the quality memes shine.
