When the AC setting is way too low, animal memes are here to warm your souls.

Everyone has had this experience in the summer, right? It's so hot outside that you don't even think about bringing a jacket with you. There's no need. You want to peel everything off when you go outside. And then you come to the office, or you go to the store, or to the movies, or just about anywhere else, and people overcorrect like crazy, freezing every single room that you walk into. Why? We don't know. There is a happy middle, people. It doesn't have to go from 0 to 100. Sigh. In most places, of course, we don't have control over that. And our jackets are lying quietly in the closet at home, forgotten about long ago. So we have to resort to something else to warm our souls. We have to resort to funny animal memes.

Why do silly little animal pictures warm our souls this way, you ask? Why, the answer is simple. These animal memes make us laugh, they bring us joy, they fill our hearts with absolutely nothing but warmth. Maybe it's not literal. Maybe we still freeze our booties off, but we're distracted long enough for it to not matter anymore. That's why. While the AC freezes everything else, our hearts warm us from the inside.

Oh, the misrepresentation of sharks in social media truly breaks our hearts. And we fell for the propaganda for a while too, we really did. We thought that they were evil. But once we realized that they were not, that they are just innocent creatures who've been the victims of bad publicity, they went right up in our “animals we would like to pet” list. Please, at least once in our lives. Please.

Some people's idea of fun is very different than other people's. For some people, it's this. It's partying, it's other humans, it's socializing and whatever. For us, the purrfect day equals cuddling with our cats, wrapped up in a blanket, with a hot cocoa mug beside us and a good book in our hands.
