Social distancing is here and with it comes the inability to get closer than 6 feet to other human beings. Our lives are very weird right now. Everyone is working from home, stocking up on self-quarantine supplies, and trying to stay far away from the masses of humanity.
Thankfully, we still have the Internet, which has allowed us to keep our sanity in the one way the Internet generation knows how: memes.
Even if we're all depressed that the world has gone to poo, we can keep our spirits up with the sideways humor of sticking words on pictures and sharing them hundreds of thousands of times. You don't even have to go looking for them! We've compiled the creme de la creme of the social distancing memes and they're right here for you to look at while you "work from home." It's better to laugh, that way you don't cry.
It all started with toilet paper memes.

The weirdness is how we stay sane, right?
We all need some exercise, this is good for us! And then I'll get more exercise by cleaning it up afterward! Everything is great!I guess if you can't be around other people it's an excuse to have a party with yourself.

But every now and then the real crazy starts to come out.
This year is bad and I do not like it. I would like to return it and have a new one please.It didn't take long for us to realize that we were all stuck in incredibly tight quarters.
This could spell the end of some relationships, unless we all get a little bit creative with our solutions.And if you're a parent, things are even more intense.

At least your real coworkers are staying far away.
Even if you have lived through more Zoom meetings than you ever wanted in your life. Please, stop making me share my face via webcam. It's just not flattering.Of course since the virus is hitting around the world, we had to have some friendly international ribbing.
You know, to let off some steam so we don't scream at our "coworkers". Instead we can just mock the English.It's important to keep up contact with the people you care about.

Let's talk for a minute about introverts.
Some of us have had a bit of a rude awakening about our normal lives. You mean other people leave the house on a regular basis?Everyone made fun of us before, but now all of a sudden they want to know how we do it.

But if we're honest, we like to choose when we're going to isolate.
If someone else tells me to I'm not going to. I want to be lonely and depressed on my own terms.But if you're feeling crabby about being home, the internet will see you through with puns.
