30 Memes and Posts That Take It Further

Just because constant screentime is making us dumber doesn't mean that it lacks potential to get us to expand our horizons.

I mean, think about it; there is so much that the chronically online would not have been exposed to if it weren't for their obsession with the internet. We would not have been able to revel in all the stupid drama, present in everything from the most niche of online communities to the most high-profile of influencers. We would never lose ourselves down a Wikipedia rabbit hole, allowing a simple query to turn into a fascinating, hours-long research session. We would not get the chance to learn handy tips and tricks on how to do everything from cooking a meal to pursuing a beloved hobby. And, most importantly of all, we would miss out on watching the fascinating developments that have come from decades of meme culture.

The compulsion to try to be funny is arguably one of the greatest assets of many an internet user, as it gives the rest of us the perfect tool to entertain ourselves with while sparing no extra expense. Topics that you have never even thought about probably have at least a couple of memes about them at this point, and all the classic genres have become cultural movements in their own right. Often, though, the more fun approach is to be open-minded and consume a general range of content. You never know what viral gold you may dig up with your next scroll.
