Greetings and salutations Hivers. Today I thought we’d do another installment of You Should Laugh More.

Research has shown that laughter is good for us. It has all kinds of health benefits — physical, mental, even spiritual. It lowers stress, boosts your immune system, and makes life a little more bearable.
And yet, most of us don’t laugh nearly enough.
Yeah, I know. Being an adult is rough. Add in the steady drip-feed of grim news, and it’s no wonder we’re all wound a bit tight. And that is exactly why we need to laugh more.
So here’s a little something to help with that.

Deep thoughts.
Cool Stick

I didn’t remember thinking sticks were so neat when I was a kid, so I was kind of amazed when I had kids and they (and all the kids around them) started acting like sticks are the coolest things ever.
AI Meme

heh that’s not too bad. AI will be taking over from meme makers too before long!
Job Feelings

It’s kind of the default state, I guess.
Forbidden Image

It’s been a while since I last mocked flat-earthers, so let’s change that.
The Original Dad Joke

Is it a sin to claim Jesus liked dad jokes?
This week’s Star Trek Pun

And now, for your moment of Zen


What do you think? Did any of these give a laugh — or just an eye-roll? Either way, I’d love to hear your reaction in the comments.
