This may surprise some of you, but Facebook used to be a glimmering utopia for meme lovers, especially meme enthusiasts with an affection for strange humor. We called it “Weird Facebook,” and for years the meme communities were thriving. Then Instagram took off and the boomers took over, leaving many of the prolific and niche Facebook meme groups collecting dust. While the convenience of scrolling through (and the joy of running) Instagram shitposting accounts is nothing to be scoffed at, we ki…

Wring yourself out

Teachers are some of the most harshly criticized groups of professionals out there. Everyone has their own idea about how teachers should do their job, but so few of them could do even half of what teachers do every day. So many parents expect teachers to be able to fix everything that's wrong with their bad kids and try to place the blame anywhere but on themselves. All of this criticism can get exhausting. At most jobs, employees only have a couple of supervisors, but teachers have administra…

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the perfect joke doesn't exi—(put a finger down if you've heard this one before). That's it. That's the tweet. Not the joke we deserve, but the joke that we need. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Sometimes the internet feels like a bunch of bots regurgitating the same tired jokes ad nauseam in every comment section known to man. Whether it's out of irony or not, it doesn't matter. It's not funny. Cut it out! If you're on the same page, then you'll pr…

So gross

FIGHT!

Marriage. Marriage is what brings us together. Or what tears us apart, depending on who you're asking. As a millennial whose number of married friends keeps increasing, it's hard not to think about the greatest commitment of all time (besides a life sentence). It's true that the marriage rate is declining in the United States, but maybe that's because people are actually making the choice to spend their lives with another person pretty damn seriously. That uptick of married friends? Well, none…

Happy New Year, coders!

Stereotypes about husbands and wives aren't always true, but they exist for a reason. And one couple's quarrel over a cookie-baking Christmas tradition could definitely be used to prove the validity of certain stereotypes about men and women. u/wirnei339oe3jrj left it up to r/AmItheAsshole to decide whether or not he was in the wrong for “upstaging” his wife by being a more efficient cookie-baker. Though most voted that OP was technically “NTA,” many sympathized with OP's wife on an emotional l…

Who says shopping needs to stop?

Goodbye, 2022. As I write this I am nearly paralyzed (at least mentally) by the notion that another year has come and gone. Another shitty year, might I add. Looking back on 2022, I can't say that I've done anything of that much importance. Sure, I killed it at work and managed to keep my cats alive, but I didn't experience any milestones like getting married or having a kid - both of which the people on my Instagram and Facebook feeds seem to be doing with wild abandon. The truth is, I spent m…

Hope they'll recover from these sick burns

Fad foods come and go, and once they go, they leave you wondering why they came in the first place. I experienced this very phenomenon during my Junior year of high school when a popsicle shop opened in my town. We were fresh off the heels of the frozen yogurt boom , so this seemed like it was the next big non-ice cream dessert shop, at least in my town. That spring, everyone in town was going to the popsicle shop and taking aesthetic Instagram pictures with their popsicles. I will admit they w…

So many bad decisions

Happy New Year, Disney nerds! 2023 is upon us, and I, for one, am excited about what the new year has to offer regarding Disney projects. The movie I am most excited about has got to be the remake of The Little Mermaid starring Halle Bailey. I may or may not have watched the pirated videos of her singing ‘Part of Your World’ from the D23 Expo, and I have never had so many chills from hearing somebody singing anything. I know that Halle is going to knock it out of the park, and I am so excited t…
