For when you need a laugh!

The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!

But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

Edit

I kinda made this post out of spite for the fact the most previous post in this community, whose title I quoted/copied, was getting so many downvotes... At the time I posted this, the previous post had about a 30% downvote rate, and it really, really made me mad.

I am relieved tho to see people in the comments here who have real, actual empathy for their fellow humans. Thank you for contributing here.

It blows my mind how normalized it is to hate on those who are struggling. Especially in 20fucking23 when so many of us now are on the verge of it ourselves. Let's be better, everyone - to everyone. I beg you.

Sure, they often objectively can't (without help), but usually they find themselves in a self-reinforcing downward spiral and taking away their agency makes it much worse.

Like I said, they are free to come and go, just not be homeless in public. They, I'm this idealized plan of mine would be receiving great things, from medical help to education, safety and more.

Trade off is you can't camp out a city park any more.
