Kicking off the workweek gets harder and harder every time

Every day you wake up, more terrible news is running around. Former employees of something new every week say that robots will dominate the world in two days. A new brainrot character just dropped, and he's now your boss.

You can't do anything you used to do entirely on your own without consulting AI. You go out on the street, and every coffee shop sign is LLM-made, and they all look the same.

Everybody is microdosing something and/or is suddenly very skinny. New medical news drops, and it turns out you have to consume 2000 g of protein every hour, or else you won't be able to function.

Now water has protein in it. You hit the gym, and so many influencers are recording themselves there that you show up in every GymTok video of the week.

You go to sleep to escape all this nonsense, and you forget to set up the alarm. Another day begins, and you're already running late.

This is how every week feels lately; that's why we need a little bit of hope to get us through. That's also why I make it my job to bring you the latest hopecore memes I find.

This way we can submerge ourselves in good energy to officially start the workweek on a Tuesday, and ignore the doom marketing strategies and the new wellness hacks coming to haunt us.

You know what they say: beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, so let's see what happens if we look at the world with new eyes.

Hope you enjoy this meme list I curated for you! It's supposed to make you happy and hopeful!

Hope you laugh!
