WWIII is trending on social media and Gen Z is coping one meme (or loaf) at a time

With Donald Trumps blunt threats to Iran and global military movements underway, the internet has become a digital refuge. For now, when diplomacy falters and danger spreads, laughter remains one of the last shared shields.
