Remember when you'r mom and dad said that television was rotting your brain? They had no idea how bad this sh*t would get. Our brains are practically useless thanks to all the mindless scrolling we've been doing. We're not going to get these brain cells back so we may as well keep at this pointless internet consumption. Here are some memes to get ya started. 

Get in the zone with this big ol' batch of mildly offensive maymays. Sometimes you need some great memes without losing a piece of your soul by the time you finish reading through them. Sometimes you need dankness, but sans the prerequisite groans, moans, and bemoaning your terrible sense of humor, and finding humor in the most heinous of topics. But enough about your collection of Sesame Street kink. This collection is perfect for those trying to remain in a healthy balance between worlds, but still get their daily fix, just like you can here with these fresh dank memes, if you dare. But if you are just struggling to round out your day and push on towards freedom, then you have to check out these hilarious dank memes made to ensure you survive the day.

Strap in folks, because we're about to embark on quite a wild ride! We've already brought you some of the best memes and reactions that we've seen so far from the "Area 51" craze, but get ready for the previously untold saga of the storm on Area 51. It's pretty damn clear at this point that this sh*t ain't going anywhere for a while. 

If you're real confused by this whole trend, then don't worry, we've got you covered.

One of the latest meme trends to pop up on Reddit has taken the form of a "time traveler conversation," in which a shadowy figure comes from the future and drops some serious future wisdom on an unsuspecting character - generally to very positive reception. The meme has been meshing well with Area 51 memes, as well as old classics like Shrek and Keanu Reeves. Here are some of our favorite examples of the perception-bending formats.

We know that the Donald Trump memes can get tired, but this format is far from political. This trending format features photos of the President of the United States and Kim Jong-Un during their late June meeting in North Korea. A couple photos are used, making some of the memes about people correcting each other, and others more of a Mike Wazowski Explaining Things meme. They're all relatable and really, really funny. 

Calling all bored people and procrastinators! This extra-large collection of dumb memes, silly tweets, and Tumblr posts was designed with you in mind. Have at them and cure your boredom for a few minutes, on us!

TGIF, y'all! If the concept of the weekend still seems too far away to touch, we've got some fun for you! These memes, tweets and shitposts were designed to help take your mind off of crushing responsibilities and how terrible your life really is. 

Recording artist Moby is on the receiving end of some major Twitter heat following a very weird and creepy Instagram post regarding an alleged relationship with Natalie Portman. Moby had written of a relationship with the actress in his memoir, Then It Fell Apart. In the book, Moby describes a brief 1999 romance between himself (33) and the "20" year old Harvard student. On May 21st, two weeks after the memoir's release, Portman denied the claims in an interview with Harper's Bazaar. Her account is far more damning: 

"I was surprised to hear that he characterised the very short time that I knew him as dating because my recollection is a much older man being creepy with me when I just had graduated high school.

He said I was 20; I definitely wasn't. I was a teenager. I had just turned 18. There was no fact checking from him or his publisher – it almost feels deliberate. That he used this story to sell his book was very disturbing to me. It wasn't the case. There are many factual errors and inventions. I would have liked him or his publisher to reach out to fact check."

Yesterday, Moby opted topost a bizarre and public "call out" of Natalie following the interview. The text, accompanying a shirtless photo with the young actress, reads as very defensive. 

"I recently read a gossip piece wherein Natalie Portman said that we'd never dated. This confused me, as we did, in fact, date. And after briefly dating in 1999 we remained friends for years. I like Natalie, and I respect her intelligence and activism. But, to be honest, I can't figure out why she would actively misrepresent the truth about our(albeit brief)involvement. The story as laid out in my book Then It Fell Apart is accurate, with lots of corroborating photo evidence, etc.

Thanks, Moby

Ps I completely respect Natalie's possible regret in dating me(to be fair, I would probably regret dating me, too), but it doesn't alter the actual facts of our brief romantic history" 

Many people on Twitter and Instagram felt this was an inappropriate response, and began roasting the star for his creepiness "calling himself out." Other Twitter users have opted to parody his post, sharing photos with celebrities (or photoshops with celebrities) with similar claims of romantic relationships. Leave it to Twitter to use humor to address a pretty appalling issue. Natalie Portman has yet to respond to Moby's social media antics, but hopefully she's enjoying the internet coming to her defense. 

Will the Star Wars prequels ever stop being meme'd? Honestly, we kind of hope not, because they're a freaking hot bed for mockery if we're being honest. 

This particular meme, entitled "Is It Possible To Learn This Power," originated from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith in a dialogue between Anakin and Senator Palpatine about whether it is possible to learn Darth Plagueis the Wise's power of bringing people back from the dead.

May the fourth be with you! For some people, every single day is Star Wars Day. This is definitely true for the memers over at r/prequelmemes. The Reddit community churns out Star Wars prequel content like a well-oiled...droid. Most of the memes, like these fresh posts below, are very, very, very dumb. And that's the way we like it. 

Star Wars fans everywhere are mourning the loss of Peter Mayhew, who passed away in his Texas home on April 30th. Mayhew played the part of Chewbacca in the beloved franchise. In honor of his legacy, we've gathered up some memes, both funny and tear-jerking.

Caution: some of these are really going to tug at your heartstrings!

RIP, Chewie.

Illustrator Brian Kesinger may have made a name for himself with his illustration work at Walt Disney Studios, but it's his work outside of the movie business that really gets fans going. His steampunk art has been his most successful, featuring whimsical cephalopods and frilly fashions - but our favorite series of his combines the Star Wars universe with Calvin and Hobbes.
