I am so glad I grew up offline. Don't get me wrong, I cherish and enjoy every single solitary second I spend on this sacred place we call “the internet.” However, I'm glad my uncensored access to the world wide web didn't begin until I was 12. I still grew up during the era when little kids didn't have phones, and we just watched the same episode of Hannah Montana over and over again to amuse ourselves. We were still flying our brains, but with Cartoon Network instead of TikTok. Kids no longer…

It's coming

This fleeting existence has a tendency to feel a bit pointless. You know, "life's a b*tch and then you die" type vibes. It's really wild that everyting feels as though it's meant to be a struggle, living meager paycheck to meager paycheck, while some person who says "yes" or "no" or “more” lives lavishly and luxuriously thanks to our hard work. While we try not to think of the sad reality in our day-to-day lives, it has become increasingly hard to ignore. But when the going gets tough, and real…

I feel like everyone has been in the state of mind where you often tell yourself, “I just have to get through this week.” Of course, when you inevitably get through the week, you start thinking the same thing the next week. This can be a red flag that maybe, just maybe, you're going through an objectively difficult period of your life. But at the same time, it can be the greatest cope known to man. Even if it feels futile, I'm glad we have cute little coping mechanisms like telling ourselves we…

Take your time

One of the cool things about living in New York is that some institutions will reward you for being young. This probably isn't something exclusive to New York, but there are a lot of things to do here, and when those things are under $30, it makes it a lot easier. If you are under 35, you can get $30 tickets to Lincoln Center musicals, and I think that's pretty neat. The majority of the people in the audience are geriatric, and I am satisfied knowing they're paying full price while I spent the…

There are times to slow down and times to speed up. If you're luxuriating in a delicious bubble bath on a Friday night, it's time to sit back and take your damn time because it won't last forever. If you're working as a lifeguard at your local community pool and you see some suspicious bubbles, you know what to do sport. Consuming memes can lean towards being a speedy activity; you want those memes hot, fresh, and sizzling, and then you want to move on and take in some more memes. As someone wh…

Values are important to us here at Memebase. This means that when we say that we strongly believe that everyone should have the opportunity to mindlessly engage in unproductive activities from time to time, we mean it – without exception. In our humble opinions, it is our collective right as human beings to reject the monotony of our daily routines whenever possible. Whether it means switching on the TV during a long and tedious conference call, ignoring a demanding message from an unsympatheti…

Happy Sunday, internet users and abusers! We've almost made it through yet another fabulous weekend on our illustrious planet Earth. How does it feel? Well, after an unfulfilling weekend of trying to recuperate from the workweek, I'm honestly still tired as hell and feel like my life is passing me by. It's pretty cruel that the weekend hasn't really helped my mood or my general feelings about existence. I always find myself wondering how many days off it takes to actually feel good. The weekly…

While most products come in various sizes, some things are just meant to be consumed in bulk: Netflix shows, Costco's entire inventory, and Cheese Balls . I have never seen Cheese Balls in a compact container in my life. Every Cheese Ball in the world is in an absurdly large package that I cannot conceptualize being practical for anyone. How long does it take a family to eat one industrial-sized box of Cheese Balls? I can't imagine they could finish it in less than two months. Maybe that's by d…

Catch them if you can!

Everybody (and everything) has their own limitations. Even we here at Memebase are self-aware and honest enough to admit that it's basically impossible to consistently serve up the very best memes to grace the many pages of the internet. There are simply not enough witty, intelligent and funny people creating them these days - and not enough people with good taste sharing the good ones that already exist. If we are being totally sincere about why and when we seek out these tasty morsels of come…

iCarly stans, it's time to move on

I'm obsessed with people who have their own little personal vernacular uniquely theirs. My Elementary school music teacher had such a way with words, particularly with coming up with “swear words” that were so unrecognizable from actual swear words. Whenever she got frustrated, she would say things like “fiddle faddle foo” or "need;

I think about the supervillain rise and fall of former Disney chairman and CEO Michael Eisner more than I should. If you've ever read anything about the history of Disney from the 80s to the 2000s, Eisner is guaranteed to be one of the main characters in the business side of things. If you're unfamiliar with the famous executive, this quote will tell you much of what you need to know. “We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make history. We have no obligation to make a stat…
