Indeed, there exists a community of loving, meme-sharing individuals that just want to use dogs to help make this world a better place. I mostly want to pay tribute to the glorious work these gents pull off every day, but I will also try to show you, gentle reader, what it is that gives Imgur its own unique, off-brand flavor. Wherever possible, I will include definitions in parentheses for your benefit.
When you were a kid, did you ever rewind scenes from movies when the characters said something in a weird voice or made a funny face? Imgur is a place where people who never got tired of doing that may go. The greatest memes constantly make front page (place where the most upvoted content goes), greats like:
Confession Bear
Conspiracy Keanu
And Success Kid
Not just arrestingly funny, some of these creations can get surprisingly deep. I once or twice found myself moved by them, for instance by this Confession Bear which I still remember from over half a year ago:
Not once have I ever seen the Imgur community lash out at anyone trying to express genuine and real feeling. It feels nice to see a group who can understand the difference between a good laugh and a serious conversion conversation. Of course, the people in the comments section do sometimes make the front page, too, and the results are always glorious.
Never before have I seen so much sassiness in one place.
Never have I seen so much anarchy either (but then again, I haven't been on 4chan)...
...or cuteness!
All in one place! Absolutely perfect for procrastinating on tests or prolonged trips to the bathroom (hey, I won't ask). I beg of you to give the website a try. If you don't like the look of anything that pops up, try sorting the images based on what you think you would like to see (my personal favorite being science and tech). Even if you don't like it, then the most you did was waste time, which was kind of the website's point, to begin with.Trash panda tax.
