Between the world being at war, the rapid progression of global warming and our own horrible, vulnerable mortality, there's a lot of things in this world that we need to take our minds off. We're in luck, because the melting pot of extreme dumbness that can be found on the internet is designed to do just that. Life hurts, but memes don't (so long as we take them the right way). If anything, that's yet another reason to consume as many as possible.

They're all here

Never before has a time waster been as deadly and effective as your average meme . You find one that makes you chuckle, and soon enough you're three hours down the rabbit hole, procrastinating everything else in life like nothing else matters. It's easy to get obsessed with finding that next meme hit; the great thing about the internet is that it makes everyone an explorer. Yeah, maybe Microsoft was onto something with that one.

Long and lazy

Do you feel that gnawing in the back of your skull? Yup, the worms are back, and they're looking for some more delicious gray matter. We all know there's only one thing that's gonna feed them, and a cultural pursuit like reading a book or discussing arthouse cinema won't cut it. Only memes are going to satisfy those cravings, so it's time to let rip. It's not even a choice at this point, it's an obligation.

Fascinating

The finishing touch

Here, there and everywhere

Where would we be now without the invention of memes ? It's hard to say. We'd have a lot more free time, that's for sure, but we'd also be lacking in the nose exhalations and unique perspective on the world that they give us with their inventiveness. We have all learned to process information in a radically different way thanks to these dumb little pictures, and that alone is a massive achievement. The internet may be a strange and sometimes dark place, but with its sense of humor every day is …

Humor is #1

Just enough

Finally, we can enjoy the weekend. Away from the grind in our two allotted days of rest and relaxation, we can do whatever we please. The sky's the limit, and we're only trapped by our imaginations (and the ever-present list of chores). Naturally, the thing we can look forward to most is enjoying some guilt-free memes . We're not even procrastinating now; we're just enjoying wasting our own time.

Ripe and ready

More of the usual
