It's Tuesday again, which means we're enjoying my absolute least favorite day of the week. It's not close enough to Friday for us to feel hope, and the weekend was just recent enough to inspire feelings of wistfulness. Despite my hatred for this day, there are some redeeming qualities. A) it's a day associated with tacos, and B) we get to round up all our favorite Lord of the Rings memes to share with fans on our site and beyond. Whether you're a book purist or a movie buff, you're bound to fin…

Twitter is officially one year away from being a legal adult. I have been on the bird app (or, in the pre-iPhone days, the bird website ) for over half of its existence, so you'd think I would have a strong opinion about Twitter being around for 17 years. At this point, I'm just glad that Twitter is still managing to function. Elon Musk's purchase of the company appears to be the beginning of the end. The website is not getting any better, and Musk's plans to drive new users to the site seem to…

Awooo

Some bosses will literally hurt their own business before paying their employees what they're owed, and this redditor's story is a perfect example. When u/Longjumping_Bad9555 requested compensation for working sixty hours of overtime, their manager refused, arguing that the hours hadn't been authorized prior to the request. The thing is, OP was a reporter for a newspaper—the sort of high-paced job that doesn't often come with enough downtime to put in an OT request while chasing a news story. S…

Parenting Facebook groups have obsessions with the many "natural remedies" they think will cure all childhood ailments. My favorite supposed cure-all miracle is breastmilk. For some reason, crunchy moms think that breastmilk can do anything. I will give credit where credit is due: breastmilk offers babies essential nutrients they can't get anywhere else. Unfortunately, breast milk does not cure ear infections. You cannot squirt breastmilk in a blind man's eye and make him see again. Breastmilk…

Franken-Tesla!? It's ALIVE!

Oh boy

Food is an important part of life. We need to eat to live. It's a necessary part of survival for most living things. But humans have made eating into something of an affair. Somewhere between when we were hunter-gatherers and when we started obsessively Instagramming our meals before eating them, food surpassed its purpose as sustenance. These days, preparing or eating food is a ritual. It's a form of celebration, a way to show love. It's trendy and it's sometimes seen as a status symbol. Peopl…

Memes for the gifted and talented!

Memes can be a little bad; they aren't just for kiddies and their grannies. Memes also for intellectual bad boys who walk a little bit on the wild side. If you're a self identified edgelord , please don't scroll away. These memes might not be the edgiest known to man, but they're sure to satiate that part of your brain that wants to see something a bit…on the edge. Life is so boring without pushing the boundaries a little bit. You don't need to push it too much, don't worry. A wise man once sai…

When you think about the Internet, what pops into your mind? The sound of a new email in your inbox? Falling into a deep, dark Wikipeda hole? Or do you start seeing memes dancing around your head? We happen to fall into the latter camp, which is probably no surprise given that this is a website called "Memebase." Memes have become such an integral part of Internet culture that the two are practically tethered to each other in my mind. While it's a joy to laugh about memes and share them with fr…

There's no hope

Me in real lfie

Teaching your kids how to drive is no easy task. I gave my parents my fair share of scares when I was driving around with a learner's permit , or "temps," as some regions call it. My mom could drive with me in the high school football stadium parking lot, but that was about it. Beyond that, it was my dad's job to tell me when I was not in the lane, which was the problem 90% of the time when I was learning to drive. I was 15 years old and addicted to veering out of the lane. There are a lot of s…

Sully and Boo all over again

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: People need to stop falling for engagement-baiting food videos. If you think you don't know what we're talking about, I'm sorry, but yes you do. We're referring to those videos where some heavily made-up housewife slathers her kitchen island with nacho cheese as some sort of entertainment hack. We're talking about the bastardization of Italian recipes, and people pouring cheese over things that have no business being so lactose-ified. Unfortunately,…
