Just another reason I'm a cat person.

Have you ever wondered what dog breed best represents your astrological sign ? Well, you've come to the right place. Dogs and zodiac signs are an interesting mix because if you got your dog from the shelter, you likely don't know their sign. You have to decide just by vibes whether your rottweiler is an Aquarius or a Scorpio. Spoiler alert, he's a Scorpio. Dogs have a different kind of birthday called “Gotcha Days,” which marks their adoption date. That's way more fun than a birthday could ever…

There's nothing more endearing than watching religious children try not to swear. They shout “son of a biscuit” after stubbing their toe. These kids have an endless diatribe of “fricks” that comes out of their mouths every day. This goofy censorship is one of the last great American dynasties. One of my favorite non-swear word is “gosh diddly darn." Aside from its obvious southern flair, the alliteration and the modification of “darn” with the far more silly “diddly” elevates this phrase to a p…

There are so many different kinds of memes in the world. As time has gone on, we tend to veer more and more absurd in our memes to the point where internet trends the past are virtually unrecognizable. Some of us also dabble in edgelord memes that may you may or may not want your mom or your boss to see you post. However, there’s one kind of meme that I believe will never die. And that of course, is the wholesome meme. Wholesome memes work for every age demographic. They’re great for people who…

It’s very easy to have a knowledge of Animal Kingdom on a very superficial level. You go to your local zoo, you see the zebras, and you think you know something. If you’re a regular viewer of Animal Planet or the Discovery Channel, you might feel a little bit superior to the rubes who called themselves the next Steve Irwin. Unfortunately, neither of these groups truly compare to the real hobbyists. Do you know the kinds of people we can look at a prehistoric fish thing and tell you it’s genus,…

As a nearly-constant internet user, I often wonder how much reading I do that's just on the internet. Sure, I might not read as much daily as I did when I was an English major, but these tweets and Tumblr posts have got to count for something, right? Allegedly, we read completely differently when using technology versus merely reading on paper. According to research, we skim more when reading online than in a paper book, even when reading e-books or PDFs of scanned book pages. I will admit that…

Even if you don't have a doggy of your own, you likely see dogs every day. When I'm walking to work and see an incredibly excitable puppy lunging toward me, I often feel conflicted about how to proceed. While, on the one hand, I'd love to pet the dog and give it all of the affirmations it deserves, I know most dog walkers usually don't want to get stopped by randos. It's a brutal world out there for us dog lovers without pets of our own. One of my favorite dog-related activities is looking at p…

This world is hard on silly memes . Memes filled with a joyous whimsy. Nothing in this world is harder than being a goofy and fun-loving meme. Actually, that's a lie. Though this world is hard on silly men (men filled with a joyous whimsy. Truly, nothing is hard than being a goofy and fun-loving man, ect) silly memes are actually quite common. Even memes that have a depressing edge are still rooted in humor. In some ways, making a hardcore meme is still inherently silly and goofy because you're…

Do you ever realize that life is like…kind of bad ? Well, what are you going to do about it? Rotting in your room and wasting away playing Yahtzee is always an option until you realize that marinating in your filth is not a long-term solution to anything. The grass always feels greener on the other side. When you have a job, you wish you didn't. When you're unemployed, you are freaking out trying to become employed. Nothing seems to go the way you want it to until it does. Every day, you are ju…

Let's be honest. You need a laugh; I need a laugh. We all need to laugh a little bit more. We can't keep rewatching the same three seasons of Strangers With Candy until we die to get the last few giggles out of our usually unamused husks of bodies. Laughter is a force of healing, and if we don't do it enough, we're going to shrivel up and die. There are only so many 22-minute comedies you can consume in one day, especially if you are a person of the employed persuasion. Those 22-minute comedies…

It is wild that nearly every kid I knew wanted to be an animal scientist or a marine biologist when they grew up. I guess it makes sense since animals are one of the four interests children consistently have across generations: animals, books, sports, and pink. If you meet a kid that doesn't possess at least one of these interests, you have just met an individual in the 99th percentile of uniqueness. Kids and adults love animals, and I don't blame them. Animals love you unconditionally unless t…

Memes, memes, memes. There are so many out there in the world, and simply not enough hours in the day to take them all in. Wouldn't it be swell if we were like those people on the spaceship in WALL-E , required to do nothing all day but be pumped up with media and snacks? Allegedly, my dad's distant cousin was the guy who was the inspiration for the evil captain in WALL-E, but that's neither here nor there. If that's the most famous person I am related to, I am pretty content with that. But all…

Dog people have a bit of a reputation. We're known to be rowdy and love to shower our pets with praise at any chance. A dog person will get excited at their dog's most uneventful behavior. Is she licking her paw? A dog person will announce this news to the room, and if they're in the right kind of room, everyone will similarly rejoice at the dog's accomplishment. But can you help it? I mean, she's licking her paw in an incredibly adorable way. And she deserves it! In the world of memes, dogs ha…

No butt sniffing here

Twitter is one of the most fascinating websites on the internet. As those wiser than I have already pointed out, it is the only social media platform where nobody can escape from being roasted, humiliated, or metaphorically tarred and feathered by the masses. Explaining the day-to-day shenanigans of Twitter to someone who has never regularly used it might feel like you're speaking in indistinguishable gibber jabber. The discourse upon discourse can sometimes be too much for people, and I don't…
