'It all started when...': Pour a dash of these laughs into your morning meme coffee for extra energy (October 20, 2026)

What would your boss think if they knew you scrolled through memes before getting to work?It depends on the boss, but if they're good and chill, they'll probably ask you to share them. Believe it or not, many people need a dose of laughs and giggles before starting the day. And if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. When we smile, giggle, or laugh out loud, our brains release a chemical that tells us it's safe to relax, and before the workday, it can be a great way to get things on the right track. Science backs it up: a recent study found that laughing can lower cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress.I've been testing this theory on my own, and the results are consistent. Scrolling through some funny memes before an important event, or before dealing with something that's nerve-racking, is a great way to feel grounded and at ease. I've even tried it when I can't sleep for whatever reason, and it tickles my brain to indulge in some internet comedy. If this is your first time, sit down and let the memes take you wherever they're funny.
