Verywell Mind adds that because laughter is contagious, when you go to funny movies or comedy clubs with your friends, you’re more likely to laugh than if you go alone. It adds that faking your laughter is a decent strategy. At least until you get into the habit of finding more humor in your everyday life.
“Just as positive effects of smiling occur whether the smile is fake or real, simulated laughter also provides benefits. The body can't tell the difference. Plus, simulated or self-initiated laughter turns into genuine laughter over time. So, smile more and fake laughter if you need to at the beginning. You'll still achieve positive effects, and the fake merriment may lead to real smiles and laughter.”
The ‘Laughgorithm’ account currently boasts just shy of 72k followers on Instagram. The account, which has been amusing netizens for the past half a decade, since late 2020, describes itself as the “realm of pure comedy gold” and says that it offers the “ultimate daily dose of laughs from your algorithm.”
The founder of 'Laughgorithm' opened up about the history behind their Instagram meme account.
"I've been running a memes account since 2016, and my first page name was 'Sadidas,'" they told Bored Panda. They added that, unfortunately, their first account eventually got banned.
However, the content creator then pivoted and made 'Laughgorithm.' They put a lot of thought into the name of the account. They thought that, since their purpose is to make people laugh, they wanted to combine the words 'laugh' and 'algorithm' into one.
"That's how I came up with the name," they said. According to the curator, they choose memes by running them through their personal filter: if the meme makes them stay and laugh, they upload it to their Instagram account.
The curator of 'Laughgorithm' also had some words of wisdom to share with anyone hoping to enter the world of content creation. For them, consistency is the key to success.
"To get started, you need to be consistent with the uploading and don't worry about the likes and reach too much in the beginning," they said.
"Just upload at least 5-10 posts in the beginning, and then you'll start seeing results." They added that you'll be "good to go" if you don't lose that focus on consistency.
