Happy Earth Day, internet friends! We're gonna be real with you, it feels a little morbid to celebrate the Earth in the midst of ecological disaster and global pandemic—it would sort of be like singing happy birthday to someone while you throw garbage at them. That said, we all depend on this beautiful planet of ours and pessimism ain't gonna get us anywhere. The effect our individual actions have on the environment pale in comparison to the carbon footprint of major industries, but there's no harm in using this day to meditate on how we can be better, more compassionate participants of the ecosystem in our everyday lives. Today we plan to use as little energy as possible by doing absolutely nothing all day but look at memes, starting with this collection of dank ecological content. It ain't much but it's honest work.

So basically, it's stories like the gem that we have with this one from Tumblr that prove that earth might seem easily conquerable, but there's an unanticipated punch waiting to be unleashed underneath the surface. Who knows? Maybe we already have alien homies hanging out in the ocean or something. There is apparently something like 90% of that big ol blue that has yet to be explored. Could be a whole party happening down there.
It's weird to think there are creatures and animals on this Earth that we may have never seen before. But honestly, it's sso very likely that you don't know all the living on this mysterious planet. There's no way to really know because some creatures (such as in the deep blue ocean) have YET to be discovered!
So, the idea of there being living things we haven't seen before isn't so far fetched. Yet, it's always surprising when you see a land animal for the first time. We've never heard of a humphead parrotfish or a worm-eating giant snail before. Amazing how much there is to learn and to see, it's never-ending.
While humans are stuck inside, the animals will play! That's right! Animals are reclaiming (or just roaming around freely) the Earth. Thanks to humans being cooped up inside, animals are able to wander more freely and into territories that were more occupied by humans.
And as it turns out... Earth has been thriving without us!
If you're ever feeling overwhelmed, or going through something that seems too big to handle, sometimes it's good to be reminded of our place in the universe. Earth may seem huge, but in reality, it's just a tiny speck in the Milky Way. Which itself is a speck amongst millions of other galaxies. These pictures show just how small Earth really is, not only compared to the other planets, but also the rest of the universe.
Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the moments that former flat-earthers realized that the earth is indeed not flat. We love a good roundtable discussion involving newly enlightened flat-earthers. A strange bunch, but at least we get moments like this as a result.
Take that flat earthers. Some might call this a flawless victory by Carl Sagan.
Sometimes it feels a bit like beating a dead horse with all of this flat-earther trolling, but it's just too easy. Why are there so many people in this world who refuse to believe in science? We'll probably never fully know. So anyway, please enjoy these ridiculous flat-earther memes that favor science!
