Is it hot in here or is it just these memes?

It's the thick of summer, and we're over here sliding right out of our seats because it's too darn hot. There isn't much you can do when it's too hot outside. You can turn up the AC, stay inside, and stay out of the blaring heat. Doing anything much more than that can be a strain on the system, and you don't want to strain your system. It's summer, after all, and you want to fully unwind. Passing out in the heat is not on your bingo card. You may think of July as the time to be outside. Maybe you're rushing off to the beach, meeting friends for drinks on somebody's patio, or engaging in some summer sports. And this is all well and good, but there is also plenty of reason to stay inside during these months. After all, we pay so much to have air-conditioning; we might as well use it. And if you're on the East Coast, this summer, or really anywhere, you know that the weather can be wildly unpredictable, and sometimes a little unbearable.

So all this to say, you need your inside activities. And after you've done all the puzzles and made all the complicated recipes, you'll probably want some lighthearted entertainment. Sure, you could flip on Netflix and watch the latest true crime documentary. But let's be honest, the last one you watched really freaked you out, and now you have to triple-check that your doors are locked before you go to bed. So for something to take your mind off of everything in the real world, you come to memes. Memes help us metabolize what's going on in life, but in a humorous and lighthearted way. They won't keep you up at night, except with laughter. And we've already done the hard part of finding all the good names and putting them into one place for you. So just keep an open mind and keep scrolling. They will be right here for you for as long as you need them. And then you can come back for some more.
