'Happiness is a warm puppy': Animal laughs and joys for a happy brain this week (May 30, 2026)

Do you think animals are better than most humans?

Well, we think animals are better than all humans. It's not a competition; we just feel very strongly about that. They are cute, innocent, just vibing through life, living off of instincts, and did we mention cute? They're also silly and hilarious. Some animals don't even know how cute and silly they are! Though we suspect dogs know. They must know! They love to make us laugh. Cats also know, but they don't like to make us laugh. But any animal can fill our hearts with warmth. Especially when they are memeified! Animals make the best subjects for a hilarious meme that makes us hoomans LOL. And we need to LOL. Like how a goose needs to honk, or a cow needs to moo, we need to laugh. A day without laughter is not a good day at all. Animals can always fix that with their silly cuteness.

Quit messing around and enjoy these cuties. They aren't just memes for the sake of memes; they are animals who were memefied. Thus, they are here with the sole purpose of being cute and silly. They could be printed out and mailed, and still be the best thing to exist. It's not just an internet thing. However, we do appreciate that animal memes are huge online. Because the internet would be much, much darker if it didn't have animal memes. We don't even want to think about that…

You know how kids will ask questions like, “what's your favorite animal?” like it's the most important question in the world? Well, let's bring that back for adults. What is your favorite animal? Are you more of a woodland creature or a jungle? Or maybe you prefer a cute lil farm animal or desert creature? We are, obviously, fans of all animals, but, depending on our mood, we'll prefer one over the other. For example, I would do anything to pet a cow right now. Like, please, who has a cow I can pet? Pleaseeeeeee??

One time I met a cow and she was HUGE. Like, the size of the bar. And she had super long hair and horns that were bigger than me! And guess what? She was so friggin' sweet. In fact, the farmer had to keep her behind a door because if she was allowed fully in the barn with people, she would try to sit in your lap and then crush you by accident. But, I was still able to give her head scratches through a window and she looooooved it. She would push any other animal out of the way so she could get the scratches. It was adorable and I wish I could experience it all over again… The memes will have to do for now.
