So embarrassing

A special place

There's a lot I miss about being a college student. It was a transformative period in my life. I spent years studying a field that I'm passionate about, met a lot of wonderful people, and figured out what I wanted to do with my life. That being said, I do not miss essays, exams, or randomized group projects in the slightest. I can't imagine the amount of stress that individuals pursuing a graduate degree or Ph.D. face. I could hardly handle my last few semesters of undergrad. You're telling me…

There's nothing better than finding a meme that tickles your fancy when you're in a bad mood . Busy day at work? Check out this relatable cat meme. Relationship issues? Here's a relationship that could make things either better or worse, but at least it'll make you laugh. That's the beautiful thing about memes. They provide incredibly brief but meaningful distractions to our everyday life. They're the perfect band-aid for an unfortunate day. Where would our society be without funny memes? Don't…

There are a lot of times I miss the bygone era of mid-2000s internet culture. That era where you really had to seek out memes and there was a greater sense of community in it. That's definitely just nostalgia speaking, but hopping on an internet forum or message board for solely meme-related purposes. Those experiences and those incredibly expensive and scammy phone meme websites . Remember racking up a huge phone bill just because you wanted a LOLcat as your flip phone background or a Pokemon…

Listen. We spend a lot of time on the Internet, and especially on Twitter. Every day at least a few hours are spent scrolling through the godforsaken “Bird App,” often wishing for the sweet release of death or a winning lottery ticket. Even though we do see some gems on a daily basis - and share them with you at least once a week - most of the posts we encounter are decidedly mediocre, offensive, or straight-up bad. That said, there are certain tweets, memes, and posts, that have stuck with us…

Trying to obtain the bare minimum required to live is a near-impossible task when you're below the line of poverty. Unfortunately, there are way, way too many jobs that are happy and more than willing to pay you next to nothing . As is the case with many of these sorts of positions, these jobs are menial, mind-numbingly boring, and managed by cruel individuals. The subject of today's story was a worker at a grocery store deli, earning only 12.5 dollars per painstaking hour. As most of us would…

Meta has officially launched its Threads app. Created as a clear and intentional Twitter competitor, the new platform has shaken up the internet. It seems Threads has come at the perfect time. A lot of people, myself included, have grown a bit tired of the constant shakeups on Twitter. The Elon Musk acquisition and his variety of non-sensical platform changes have only managed to damage the social media site. So it's a pretty easy decision to at least check out the app. Perhaps, it will prove i…

If I was living anywhere besides a small apartment and if I was anything besides broke, I would absolutely love to own a canine companion. The last two dogs I lived with were two of the best animals that I've ever had the pleasure of taking on walks while my roommate is at work. Having a dog is just so perfect for moment-to-moment mood enhancement . Feeling lonely? Hang out with the dog. Antsy? Take the dog to the park. Want something to cuddle? Go ahead and hug the dog. Of course, it's not alw…

Meme makers are some of the most selfless individuals on this planet. They put in the effort: they find the image, they think of something funny and/or relatable, then they go on to create the meme itself. The thing is most of these content creators know that the meme they have just made now belongs to the internet . They can put a watermark on it or post it on their personal page, but once that meme reaches the online public it's just a fact that it will be shared without credit. Meme creators…

PSA: Don't fat shame a baby

What makes a good meme? Does it have to be funny? Relatable? Visually striking? Maybe a combination of all the above? The remarkable thing about memes is that none of those qualifiers matter. Beauty is in the eye of the memeholder. What may be the least funny thing one person has ever seen could be the most downright hysterical piece of work the next person has seen. That's just how memes work. There's something out there for everyone. While we strive to provide you all with what we find to be…

More shenanigans

How do you do, fellow kids?

Happy Saturday cringe fans! We're back once again this week for another healthy heap of second-hand embarrassment. What better way to spend your day off than to look at content that makes you feel slightly better about yourself? Cringe has existed since the dawn of the internet. Well, it has kind of always existed. But the internet revolutionized the sheer amount of cringe that is disseminated and consumed by the masses. Back in the day, you'd just have to laugh at the weird, embarrassing guy i…
