A Blessed Occurrence of 31 Memes

Yet another week is winding down, our energy is running on fumes, and the likelihood is that most of us are feeling the strain of one last burst of effort before we can fully relax. Sometimes it is worse when the weekend is close by, as we're already so checked out that we need it to be here already. This is when motivation starts to wobble, and we need something small to give us a mental reset that takes us out of that frustration.

That's where a visit to the likes of Memebase is a great idea (not that it's ever a bad one). It is the time when we agree with ourselves that any productivity can wait, and we can recharge with silly internet humor. There is something comforting in the randomness, which doesn't ask you to commit to any complicated storyline or argument. They just provide a perfectly measured dose of dumb distraction that appears to have been sent directly from the lowbrow entertainment gods. 

At this point, memes have expanded to cover nearly every topic imaginable. From relatable jokes about the foibles of everyday life to niche fandom references, there is truly a meme for every possible mood or experience. Sometimes you can stumble upon something that perfectly articulates what is one your mind before you have even fully formed a coherent thought about it. It is just as if the internet has developed a sixth sense for our collective emotions, packaging them into these images that we use to waste time with.
