Giving people gifts can be one of the more challenging aspects of the holiday season. Especially when you're dating someone who isn't straightforward about the presents they would actually like to receive. The people in my life who I struggle to buy gifts for are my parents and my boyfriend. My parents simply have everything they could ever want and have abandoned the quirky interests of their past (like Mexican dioramas) for a more quaint and pastoral lifestyle in their new home of Vermont. My…

So... what now?

Whatever it is

Not everyone can be a renaissance man, woman, or person. In fact, it's straight-up unrealistic to think everyone in the world will have diverse set of interests and hobbies. For much of my sad little life, I've felt like a boring person. It's not because I'm feeling constant tedium, and, surprisingly, not because I have zero talents. The feeling of dullness I feel about my personality is due to the fact that all I really care about (besides my loved ones) is food. Cooking it. Eating it. Looking…

'Happy New Years' is just on the tip of our tongue at this point.

Out here at Memebase we understand that there is a demand for kinda basic and painfull relatable memes . And there is really nothing abjectly wrong with that. With that said, we are resigned to admit that after years of scrolling through that simple and easily-consumed content, we tend to appreciate the weirder memes a little more. Memes that might be a bit surreal, or even completely nonsensical. Memes that might make you scratch your head, or even weird you out. We also enjoy memes that are e…

Sometimes I feel like I relate a little too much to Fred Durst. Or at least the Fred Durst who wrote ‘Break Stuff.’ You may be familiar with the tune: a rage-filled anthem for people who have bad days every day. A tune for terribly ticked-off individuals who are at their wits end and ready to strangle a person if they look at them the wrong way. Unfortunately, violence gets people in trouble. So how do we convert all the anger to something more productive, or funnel it into healthy activities?…

Look out, dog moms ! There's a new sheriff in town, and her baby is leafy and green. Houseplants have been a staple for generations, but they've had a real boom in popularity over the past few years, especially with younger generations on social media. While some people adopted a dog or picked up new artistic hobbies when the pandemic hit, the newly anointed plant moms and plant dads strapped on their gardening gloves and got to work: repotting, watering, and desperately hoping their plants did…

Do you remember your first experience with memes ? I fondly remember surfing through image macro websites as a kid, finding the best Bad Luck Brian and Unhelpful High School Teacher memes the internet had to offer. These days, memes move quickly. It's common for a meme to have one day of glory before it falls back into obscurity, unlikely to be circulated again. However, the memes of yore lasted. It was common for singular meme formats to spread for years without dipping in relevancy. It's inte…

What are they?

Greetings, Scrooges, Grinches, and the like. To celebrate the holidays, the explosively festive YBOC Series Finale focuses on how Christmas movies are basically all just capitalist propaganda. To send him off, Dr. Jordan Breeding is visited by a few friends.

When our forefathers said, "quirked up white boy with a little bit of swag busts it down sexual style.. is he goated with the sauce?" they had no way of knowing how iconic their incomprehensible words would someday be. If you're among the uninitiated and are wondering, “What is a quirked up white boy? Am I goated with the sauce too?”

It seems like artificial intelligence is coming to replace everything these days. So many news sources are reporting on AI being able to solve complex coding problems or write whole essays. Allegedly it can create art too, but all of the robot art I've seen has like seven weird phantom knuckles, so I'm not entirely buying it's art proficient. Luckily, we're not at the point where AI can really replace us yet. It's advanced, but it's not that advanced yet. AlphaCode, a new artificial intelligenc…

Most of the first 10 amendments of the United States Constitution make a lot of sense in a modern context. Freedom of speech and the right to bear arms are important parts of American identity that people debate every day. However, those first two amendments have a little brother that doesn't quite level up in terms of contemporary importance. The third amendment reads, “No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a…
