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,…

Ribbit

Listen. I'm not ashamed to be an American. We're not all bad. But despite the pride I have to be from the US of A, there's an awful lot about this country that is hard for me to wrap my mind around. Even after living here for the better part of half a century. Recently, a Redditor asked the r/AskReddit subreddit to share the hardest thing for people to comprehend about American culture. And while some of the answers, like our deeply flawed healthcare system and lack of paid time off, are a bit…

It never ceases to astound me how much Harry Potter fanfiction there is in this world. Former Harry Potter fanfiction authors are now New York Times Bestsellers, whether you like it or not. An entire generation's passion for creative writing began with Drarry and Dramione stories featuring plots I couldn't speak of in a public setting. I wouldn't be surprised if Harry Potter is the most written-about fandom in the entire history of fanfiction. I did not particularly obsess over Potter fanfictio…

Dark humor inspired by artwork

There's taking advantage of a “teachable moment” and then there's taking advantage of a child's naivete and binding them to a financial agreement that will make their teen years absolutely miserable. That's exactly what one delusional parent did when their twelve-year-old kid begged them for a swimming pool. “We made an agreement that we would install a pool but that once she was old enough to start working, she would pay us back for half of it, she quickly agreed” u/swimmingpoolaita wrote in t…

Bunch of know-it-alls

One of the most well-circulated old image macros is the Futurama Fry meme . In it, you see our buddy Fry squinting. The top line typically reads "Not sure if X," with "or just Y" as the bottom line, and is used to represent an internal monologue . It has always felt weird to me that this is the Futurama meme that stuck with people. In my honest opinion, Bender and Zoidberg have far more expressive stills and moments than this one from Fry. But alas, the meme makers of 2012 didn't ask for my opi…

Monday blues

Greetings fellow Monday haters and job despisers! If you're anything like me, then you're probably counting down the minutes until Friday, even though it's five days away. I mean, does anyone actually like waking up early, putting on work clothes, and spending eight hours a day doing something that sucks the ever-loving soul out of you? Well, fear not, internet explorers. Today I've compiled a collection of random memes that are sure to bring a bit of frivolous joy to your otherwise soul-suckin…
