It really seems to work

We often highlight some of the funniest jokes that Twitter has to offer for those who normally wouldn't go near the bird website with a ten-foot pole. But it would be a lie to portray Twitter as anything other than a cesspool of horrific takes and the sort of cringe that can only come from brains rotted by the internet. For those of us sickos who can't get enough of social media's cringiest moments, @benner's thread is a goldmine of the worst tweets ever twote. Before you dive into this content…

There's no denying it. Social media has changed the way people view (and consume) food. Gone are the days when food was just a necessary part of life, something we ate to survive. These days, food has become a trendy affair, with people constantly seeking out the latest and greatest food trends to share on their Instagram pages. This obsession with food has come spawned some truly cringey and unnecessary food creations , posts, and videos. From bizarre and offensive food combinations to questio…

Giving Joanne the Scammer a run for her money

I am a morning person , and I am not ashamed. I know that being prone to wake up early is not the typical way of being, but it is beneficial when you're a person with a job and a life, like me! I have always been an early riser. Until I was ten years old, I would go to bed at 8 PM and wake up at 5:30 AM. Every morning, I would go downstairs, read the funnies, eat breakfast with my dad, and watch The Nanny and Full House on the TV. In college, I would regularly wake up at 4 in the morning to sit…

As a thirty-something with no kids but a wealth of cats, I might complain, but I have it pretty easy. Despite the incessant vet bills, taking care of a cat is a lot easier and somehow a lot cheaper than raising a human child. A friend of mine shared an alarming statistic with her Instagram friends recently - the lifetime cost of raising a child here in the United States, as of 2022, is estimated at a whopping $272,049. That's a staggering number, one that makes me feel like I'm definitely never…

Slumlords are exploitative by nature, and in this lucky redditor's case, not very smart. After u/nopanicprepper experienced a series of plumbing issues in their home, they notified their absentee landlord , who refused to pay for any repairs. Instead, the landlord “allowed” OP to do the repairs since OP was an engineer. (How generous.) OP maliciously complied, and to the landlord's horror, sent over a hefty invoice for parts and labor. Keep scrolling for the whole story.

I've never considered owning a bird as a pet. For one, it seems pretty unethical to coop ‘em up in a human home. But they’re also a huge commitment.

Maybe he should pay him more? Just a thought

We here at Memebase feel that history memes are a special breed. I usually have one of two reactions to them. A knowing smirk, chuckle, or nod at a meme dealing with history that I'm well-versed in. Shock, horror, and an hour-long voracious time-traveling trip through the depths of Wikipedia. Generally speaking, I mostly react in the former manner. It's good to feel smart. But every now and then a meme will introduce me to an era, event, or cultural tidbit that just leaves me feeling ill, but a…

Behind the scenes

It really is true that variety is the spice of life. If you get too much of a good thing, life can get pretty damn boring pretty damn fast. It's like mom used to say: If every day was like Christmas (or your birthday) it would lose its charm. That can definitely apply to memes as well. If we start to see tons and tons of wholesome memes , it often makes us feel more contempt for humanity - which pretty much defeats the purpose of the wholesomeness. Similarly, when every meme in a gallery is of…

Everyone makes mistakes. Most of my past relationships fall into that category. While some mistakes can be funny, those errors in judgment resulted in zero laughs. We've said before that it's a bit unfair that when kids are stupid , it's cute and chuckleworthy - but when we are, it's just embarrassing. Turns out this goes for when they screw up names, too. For all the bungled introductions I've experienced (people always assume my name is actually Rihanna), none of the goofs have stuck. But kid…

The boy who lived is going to be a father! Life is imitating art right now because it was confirmed that Daniel Radcliffe and his longtime girlfriend are expecting a baby! Hopefully, he won't give this infant a name like “Albus Severus Potter," but I trust him not to be as foolish as the actual Harry Potter. If there's any actor that I'm rooting for, it's Daniel Radcliffe. That man gave his childhood to us, leading the Harry Potter movies with impressive skill at such a young age. I'm stoked th…

Negotiating a salary can be scary at first. When you've never done it before, it can feel like you're overstepping a boundary of professionalism before you've even begun your new job. “Hello, person I don't know very well. Can I please have $10,000 more dollars than you want to give me?" In most positions, negotiation is a normal part of the process. Nobody will rescind your offer because you have the gall to ask for a couple thousand more dollars. Well, almost nobody. Before getting a job offe…
