Let's be honest…the landscape of memes right now can be kind of depressing. There are so many memes about catastrophic global events that they can be hard to avoid. What happened to the good old days, when wholesome and fun memes ran this town? I don't want to see vaguely humorous pictures bemoaning the backbreaking reality of American hegemony. I want to see pictures of funny birds. I don't want to see a TikTok breaking down every single solitary unethical thing that some random micro-influencer has done. I want to see a picture of a cat wearing a funny hat.
There's a reason why funny animal memes have stayed relevant and pervasive in the world of memes all of these years. So many of us want to cut out the drama, the foolishness, and the waste of time that is online discourse. Discourse? More like, look at dis horse.
