Memes are more than a simple distraction; they're also a lifestyle. Just like some people are really into going fly fishing on the weekends, others like nothing more than rotting in front of a screen while perusing funny pictures. It's a legitimate way to pass the time, kind of. When we treat it like that, we can relax fully into the enjoyment of it instead of feeling guilty. We don't have to spend every waking minute perfectly, we just have to try and make as many of them as possible feel good if they aren't going to be useful. Memes are both plentiful and an easy way to practice that, so long as they're ones that you like. The only way to find this out is to take a chance on a big old pile of them and hope for the best. It is almost like making an effort, if you're lax about these things.
