Being gullible can be something of a curse . As a person who, sadly, falls into that category, I understand the struggle. Most recently, a friend somehow convinced me that newts and salamanders were the “original gummies." He claimed that when cured properly, the critters were satisfyingly chewy, and served as inspiration for Haribo and other gummy candies we know and love. I only found out he was lying a few days later. Thank goodness I didn't tell anyone else this incredibly false fact. The w…

What a nightmare

Internet friends, web denizens, social discomfort lovers it's that time of the week. That's right! Every Saturday we take a look at some of the most poignant cringe posts available to the public. For anyone wondering, this week's crop is awfully embarrassing. Unless you're the de facto coolest and most suave individual of all time, we all have to admit we're a little bit cringey from time to time. We're not all as self-aware as we think. Maybe last week you told a waiter “You too!” when they sa…

That math cannot be correct

The ‘Fast & Furious movies are massively popular. The in-your-face, high-octane Summer blockbusters have entertained the masses for over 20 years at this point.

As a person who has seen all the movies, I can tell you that they've changed drastically over the years. It started as a stylized action film centered around the world of illegal underground car racing and the people who inhabit it. Throu…

SpongeBob SquarePants has run for over 20 years. You'd have to live under a rock to not understand the cultural gravitas of this iconic marine life series. That was a pun that referred to Patrick's living situation, but who in this world isn't hip to SpongeBob ? The show spans generations. People who grew up watching it could very well be raising children that are currently watching it. It's a phenomenon for a very good reason. While it's easy to disagree on the quality of later releases, the i…

At an acceptable pace

It's that time of year again, folks. The snow has finally melted, the sun is shining, and the migratory birds are back in town. I can finally enjoy the rare pleasure of birdwatching and lounging in my backyard, while ignoring the surrounding evidence of my neighbor's epic parties. Even with the cans and bottles that dapple our patio tables, my slice of urban paradise is primo ground for enjoying the birds that have been flitting around the neighborhood. Just sitting on my steps for a few minute…

Happy Friday, meme advocates and web friends! You've finally made it to the final day of the week! To celebrate what felt like an extra long week, we've come up with a particularly awesome batch of memes . Let's talk about the Internet. It's a place of endless wonder and an incomprehensible amount of information. It's also maybe THE most efficient invention for wasting time. Many times have I found myself writing a research paper and turning to Wikipedia for a bit more information on the topic…

If you've spent any time looking at memes over the last decade, chances are you've come across a starter pack meme. According to the experts at Know Your Mem e, starter pack memes are “a series of multi-panel photo sets meant to illustrate the archetype of a celebrity, company or subculture through a recommended selection of fashion articles, multimedia and other consumer products.” Basically, they're memes that riff on a person, place, thing, or behavior, and they often do it in a pretty savag…
