Look, depending upon what you did or did not do in your twenties, your thirties can take on many forms. But for many of us nearing the end of our thirties, it hardly matters what happened ten years ago, we are, for lack of a better term, vertically challenged. Meaning, moving vertically has become a bit of a challenge to accomplish. Blame it on long hours in the office glued to your chair, or the inability to move off the couch once you get home from a long day of work. But one way or another, our backs hurt, and we need some help getting up to our feet.

So we made this mildly funny animal meme list to make sure that you get the pawsitivity that animal memes give, while not laughing too hard such that you injure your back any further. It is a fine line, but we will make sure you do not have to run to get some Advil.

  • Age brings with it many wonderful things. Wisdom, experience, understanding and patience, are but a few of the many things that we gain with time. But there are some things that start to slip with the passing of time. One of them apparently being our ability to look good in photographs. At some point, you’ve got to stop caring.

  • After a certain age your patience for certain things disappears. And one of those things is someone being funny while oyu have the hangries. Sure when you were a kid it was funny to make you laugh when you had the hangries to make you get over it. But as an elder millennial, all you want is your food and for everyone to shhhhh.
