SHEBOYGAN—In a groundbreaking shift of romantic priorities, local woman Michelle Harris confirmed Wednesday that she now seeks emotional validation exclusively from internet memes. “Honestly, I need someone to look at me the way I look at memes,” Harris stated, clutching her phone lovingly.

Harris elaborates that traditional dating hasn’t met her needs, noting, “Memes get me. I feel seen, often in the form of a cat wearing sunglasses.”

Experts warn of potential pitfalls, suggesting Harris could become desensitized. However, Harris remains unfazed, stating, “If I die surrounded by memes, I’ll die fulfilled,” leaving friends questioning their emotional inadequacy in comparison to animated GIFs.
