humanity laughs harder than ever before

i was thinking about how i haven't opened up insta reels/my insta group chats & not laughed at least once.

absolutely incredible that the internet now delivers so much laughter at scale on demand. you can now instantly find something absurdly hilarious that's relevant to today's zeitgeist… like actual tears streaming, can't breathe level kinda funny. & the comments are usually even funnier.

has humanity ever laughed this hard, this often, & with this level of collective derangement before?
