The average semi-popular meme does a lot of heavy lifting in its lifetime. From its humble beginnings in Photoshop, it then passes through countless platforms, DMs, and group chats before it finally falls out of favor. That's before we even get into all the tweaks and clever additions that it might endure, if it's a popular and easily editable format.

For something so lighthearted and silly, our memes really do put in the grunt work to keep millions of us entertained every day. It's what allows us to consider looking at them a lazy pastime. Thinking about the life cycle of a meme is almost motivational, if you're that way inclined.

However, we're not here to shift you off your backside. We want you to stay exactly where you are, so you can digest the memes that we're about to show you. It's only fair to give them some of the appreciation that they deserve.
