Memers Challenge Gay Stereotypes Just in Time for Pride

It's almost June, and most cities are gearing up for what is bound to be a raucous post-Covid celebration around the world. At this point, we know what to expect: lots of rainbows, free condoms, happy dancing, and a whole lot of brands making shallow attempts to market to queer people. The annual and obvious pandering is so blatant that it's inspired its own set of memes regarding how quickly corporations seem to remember (and then forget) the LGBT community. This year, the first brand-mocking callouts hail from Twitter, and are coming in much earlier than usual.  


Instead of focusing merely on cringey brands, the Twitter meme (the brainchild of @kewlshrek) contrasts how marketers portray gay people with how gay people - and gay friends - actually look and behave. Where adverts tell you that gay people are flamboyant, loud, and decked our in rainbows, these Twitter users want the world to know that their friends are generally represented by people who are just a bit more complex. In some of the memes, that means goths and vampires. In others? Ethereal elves and even characters from Recess. We appreciate that the memes and funny and ring true. But it's also just good to see reductive depictions get the meme treatment - while also giving people who don't fit into those stereotypes a little more representation.

Lesbian Rates The Fellowship As Women In Feisty Tumblr Thread

People had a lot of fun with the gender-swapping update of FaceApp when it was released nearly a year ago. People were posting their swapped selves everywhere, pranking people on Tinder, and, more frequently, putting their favorite celebs into the app and sharing the results. Our favorite utilization of the app, though, hails from Tumblr. User lindirs-gaze decided to use the fad as an excuse to rate the Fellowship as women. While some of our favorite residents of Middle-Earth look a bit...busted (beards don't see gender), others have a more enticing or even natural vibe. Whatever the score, the commentary is excellent. If all this fun leaves you wanting more LOTR content? Check out this week's edition of Tolkien Tuesday. We're here for you.

History Memes For Scholars Of the Past

Things seem pretty bleak in the present. Between the Covid-19 pandemic and the economic turmoil its caused, and the insane winter storms that have crippled Texas, we're kind of over everything. Gone is the youthful hope that we once had, our plans for the future. Traveling the world and learning about other cultures is also out of the question. If we don't want to think about the sh*tshow we're dealing with, and the future is uncertain, what can we turn to? You got it, the past.

While poring over history tomes and watching educational television shows are both fine and dandy, we prefer to get our fix via memes. And history memes are far from hard to come by. They're all over Reddit and Instagram, dropping some serious knowledge and inspiring some very  hearty chuckles. Though some of these memes may feel like they require a history degree to understand, we're pretty sure even a high school dropout would understand some of the other references. And hey, by scrolling through these memes you might even learn something.

As Crypto Bloodbath Traumatizes HODLers, Twitter Copes Through Memes

Good morning HODLers. If you haven't checked your crypto trading app yet, maybe you should try throwing your phone out the window first. On the other hand, the market is more volatile than the sun. By the time I finish writing this, DOGE could totally be chillin' on the moon. Not likely, though. 

As the 'buy the dip' battle cries ring across the internet, many are worried that the recent news of China's intensified crypto crackdown might cause the dips to keep dipping. Things looked pretty grim early this morning until the Dogefather himself stepped in and tweeted vague 'diamond hands'  emojis, which triggered an immediate BTC spike. We've lost track of how many times Elon Musk has put HODLers through the emotional wringer this year. 

Whether you're holding on for dear life, buying for the first time at these 'discounted' prices, or just in it for the entertainment, there's one thing that always brings the people together—memes. Twitter is using memes as a coping mechanism to get through the bloodbath, and we're here for it.

Nostalgic Twitter Users Reminisce About The Perks & Pitfalls Of Their Parents Jobs

As the world mostly seems to be falling apart, it's really clutch that we enjoy (and fully appreciate) any positivity we can get our proverbial hands on. Sometimes the good vibes come in the form of wholesome memes, or happy human interest stories. Today, that goodness is coming to you in the form of a nostalgic Twitter thread. A few days ago, Twitter user @causalinf asked his followers to share the perks they enjoyed as children thanks to their parents careers. The thread really brought us back to simpler times, when going to work actually seemed fun from the outside. While the stories are mostly positive, a few people decided to share some of their less than happy memories. This keeps the thread a bit more realistic, as not everyone had an idyllic childhood with gainfully employed parents. At the end of the day, though, it's nice to look back fondly on days when drawing on computer paper and getting spoiled by a workplace of adults was a real treat.

Poorly Aged Posts That Are Filled With Regret

We all know that hindsight is 20/20. That definitely applies to the year 2020, too. But today we're talking about a special kind of hindsight and regret. We've all seen that tweet from Hillary Clinton where she says "Happy birthday to this future President." Well, things didn't really go as planned. Today we're here to cover some of the regretful and poorly aged posts that you may not have seen plastered over the internet. You know, posts regarding the horrendous winter storm that struck America's heartland this week. Or, perhaps, posts that deal with some woefully ignorant Bitcoin owners who sold themselves short years ago.

Most of these regrettable situations and posts are pretty harmless. But they're a great reminder that you really need to try to think to the future before getting your hopes up - or your hopes lost. One thing's for sure, it always helps to laugh through the pain.

Adam Sandler Impresses Twitter After Pickup Basketball Game Goes Viral

Adam Sandler's seen quite a comeback in the meme department since starring in the Safdie Brothers' Uncut Gems. While our old millennial asses revere him for his roles in his Happy Madison productions, the SNL alum has proved that his star power goes far beyond goofiness. That star power has led to the actor becoming viral for some pretty normal moments. Just a few weeks ago, a TikTok user went viral after realizing she had turned Sandler away from her IHOP, saying that the wait for a table would be 30 minutes. This week, the internet is marveling at something a little more attention-worthy: his apparent love for pickup basketball games. 


After Anthony Puccio shared a friend's Instagram story of Sandler playing a game of pickup basketball in Long Island, Twitter had a lot to say about the matter. Many users were appalled at the lack of reciprocity between Sandler and his teammates. The star was absolutely destroying it on the court, but the same could not be said for his temporary squad. A second video from the same day didn't help their case. There's no denying it. Adam Sandler was let down.

While much of the focus was on the comedian's skills, some Twitter users decided to poke fun at his attire. The baggy clothes, which are actually par for the course with Sandler, honestly make the out-of-place actor look that much more impressive in this context. If you're getting schooled by a 54 year old Jewish guy from Brooklyn in an oversized peach polo, you should probably be questioning the caliber of your game.

Employee Maliciously Complies with Boss' Absurd Productivity Metric

As American cities begin to open up their offices, many workers are lamenting the fact that they'll no longer be able to work from home. While some people undoubtedly benefit from having a dedicated physical work zone, others are quite capable of managing their own productivity. But I suppose if managers had no one to manage, their jobs would become obsolete. 

Redditor u/ythafuckigetsuspend was pretty annoyed when their employer revoked the option to work from home after they appeared to go 'idle' in the work chat too often. Even despite the fact that the KPI data suggested they were a better worker at home, management decided that being AFK for too long proved otherwise. And so, the disgruntled redditor complied…maliciously. Keep scrolling to read about OP's delightfully clever method for appearing active in the chat for eight hours straight. Many responders in the thread had similar tricks. Make sure your boss doesn't see this!

Writer Hates On Shrek, Everybody Sharpens Their Pitchforks

Remember kids, violence is never the answer. Unless you're a movie critic, of course, in which case you're basically obligated to replace your keyboard with a hatchet and destroy anything that threatens to spark joy in a mass audience.

To the delight of its many absurdly dedicated fans, today marks twenty years since the release of the first film in the beloved Shrek franchise — but not everyone was happy to celebrate the milestone. Leading the condemnation was a piece in The Guardian, accusing the movie of being crass and outdated. In it, writer Scott Tobias takes offence at everything from its celebrity cast to the fact that the main character flushes after he poops. 

Shrek is one of the defining movies of the early 2000s, one that won an Oscar for its huge contribution to film. Shrek is one of the few cultural artefacts to unites the age groups, as the war between Gen Z and Millennials rages on. Most important of all, Shrek's cultural impact has been so powerful it has gained a formidable second life as a meme that rivals any animated movie produced before or since.  In short, no media outlet would get away with publishing this type of slander without an almighty pile on. 

Sure enough, a lot of people have reacted with horror at this attempt to smear Shrek's good name. While a few have quietly agreed with the main points the article makes, many others have generated enough outrage to power an outrage factory for quite some time. In the words of the legendary green ogre himself, get out of my swamp.
