It\u2019s like these Instagram accounts were just sitting on pre-made memes, just waiting for the day they could finally be posted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personally, I\u2019d say <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is morally questionable; but I\u2019m positive that they\u2019re laughing at the same memes over in England and across the world. And didn\u2019t you laugh at some yourself? Queen memes are crass and offensive for sure, but that\u2019s what makes them funny.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s what memes are for! We make and share them to process things from daily life to significant events because laughter is the best medicine. Thankfully, Queen memes didn\u2019t stick around for too long. Across the pond we Americans were over the whole thing once football came on later that day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another thing which gave Queen memes a short shelf life is that there were only so many jokes which could be made. The Internet is a ruthless place and I\u2019m glad that we were able to move on from the memes after a day or two. We had our time to vent and have a laugh and now it\u2019s time to return to our daily lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Chamberlain Zulauf\u00a0 Yes, absolutely\u2014 but hear me out.\u00a0 Of course, I first want to make the statement that the Queen\u2019s death is worthy of our solidarity as Americans.
