Dark humor to suit the dark ages

As a food lover, I'm well aware that taste is usually more important than the “look” of a dish. There are plenty of foods that look a lot less appetizing they actually are. The split pea soup I made a couple of days ago, for example, looks like a trough of chunky, yet pasty vomit. Hot dogs don't really look all that hot, and lord knows I've seen more than a few chilis that resemble loose stools rather than a flavorful, pepper-filled dish. The thing is, some people seem to go out of their way to…

Congratulations, you've officially almost made it entirely over the hump. For some people, that means absolutely nothing. That's because some people are exempt from the tortures of a Monday through Friday, nine to five workweek. As for the rest of us, this calls for a celebration. When celebrating milestones like hump day , you want to be careful not to have too much fun, because that will alter your productivity on Thursday and Friday. It's a delicate balance. That's why we like to cut loose b…

Don't tell the manager

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have reportedly ended their long-time relationship. It goes without saying, but Swifties aren’t taking this well. Fans have been in a state of emergency; speculating, mourning, theorizing, and just losing their minds in general. Now, the high-profile split isn’t official yet. A source close to the couple claims that an amicable, no-drama breakup between the two took place a few weeks ago. Neither Swift nor Alwyn have confirmed this firsthand. That being said, we’re ta…

Dogs are absolutely precious and need to be protected at all costs. Even as a relatively recent " cat person ," there's no way I can turn my back on the adorable, loyal, and sometimes smelly creatures I grew up with. The bond shared with a pet is strong, and there's something about a dog bond that can't be replicated. Their eyes, full of devotion. Their grief when you leave home. Most of all, when I think about dogs, I think about Teddy, my family's long-deceased Wheaten Terrier. Teddy was amaz…

Being a writer is almost never a glamorous gig, unless you're Dan Brown-level or some sh*t. Just look at me - mid-thirties, churning out content and barely scraping by. Fortunately, thanks to all the memes and tweets that capture the true struggles of being a writer, I know I am not alone. And this here gallery is all about poking fun at the weird, wonderful, and sometimes frustrating world of writing, and trust us, you'll be laughing (and maybe crying) along the way. As you browse this intense…

Childhood - especially with siblings - can be pretty nuts. And we're not sure if kids are nuts simply because of their imaginations or if they're just regular people without a seasoned moral compass. Either way, this Twitter thread from @lukasbattle leaves us feeling like our families' squabbles were very, very normal. From tales of sleepwalking sisters wielding knives to tying up a little brother and locking him in the basement, these stories are sure to make you laugh - and may very well cree…

I miss the era of artists releasing “Greatest Hits” CDs. These were essential tools for casual fans of big artists. We didn't have to scrounge around to find the best songs of every random artist; they did the work for us. There are a lot of artists that I like, but don't listen to all of their albums. Take Ariana Grande, for instance! Now there's a singer who I'd like a great hits CD from.

Never mess with a gamer's saved progress

Remember that dude who asked a group of six year olds to pitch some film ideas? If not, here's a memory refresh. We're here to share that he's done it again: successfully exploited the marvelous minds of children for a viral moment on Twitter. And honestly? We're not mad about it. This time, @GeorgePointon_ has asked kids to share some business ideas.

Employment is pretty simple. An employer is supposed to compensate a worker for their time. When said worker is off the clock, they can do whatever the hell they want with their time. You either pay someone for their time or you dismiss them from their duties. Demanding that people stay at work while they're off the clock? Not to get all hyperbolic, but that lowkey sounds like slavery to me.
