Oh, to be jobless

There are some Harry Potter takes that have been beaten to the ground. Everybody wonders why the Weasley twins didn't see Peter Pettigrew on the Marauders Map in the same room as Ron. Everybody has questions about how Gilderoy Lockhart was able to get hired at Hogwarts in the first place. My favorite Harry Potter plot hole pertains to everybody's favorite game: Quidditch. I really question the viability of Quidditch as a game. I know that in the Quidditch World Cup , the golden snitch is less c…

Back to school! Again!

A slog

Do you know how to read? Are you fascinated by history and mythology, particularly of the Greek and Roman variety? Well, you're in for a real treat! Turns out the people of Tumblr and Twitter really, really, really enjoy classical mythology. They could go on about it for days, debating mythological hypotheticals, or delivering sharp one-liners about the deities worshiped by Ancient Greeks and Romans. We've put together a hearty helping of these sorts of posts. I wouldn't treat them as one would…

Happy Monday , y'all. Another beautiful day on this bleak planet, Earth. Things have not been particularly easy on my end. Between the seasonal depression, the regular depression, the premenstrual mood swings, and the long recovery from Covid-19, I'm not in the best shape. The levels of self-deprecation creeping into my humor is off the charts, and I think the people I spend my time with are beginning to get concerned. Thankfully the Internet is filled with memes, tweets, and Tumblr posts from…

Classical art in the digital age at its finest.

Anyone who lives in the United States is well aware that health insurance feels like a huge scam. But what if hospitals and health insurance companies like UnitedHealth Group, Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and others were actually honest about how horrifically terrible they are? Roger Horton investigates.

We here at Memebase may not play favorites, per se, but there are certain memes we like more than others. Incredibly dumb, literal memes are probably at the top of that list. But there are other memes that delight us nearly as much, and history memes and anime memes are both pretty close in line. Our years of surfing the internet have made us privy to the happy news that there's an entire subreddit dedicated to memes that use anime stills to humorously riff on historical events both funny and d…

Star Wars television adaptations are a controversial subject. They've received largely mixed (if not bad reviews), save The Mandalorian , a program that we will never forgive for introducing the internet to Baby Yoda. We are so tired of Baby Yoda memes . Anyway. In our opinion, Andor really changed the game. The show, which was created by Tony Gilroy, follows the story of Cassian Andor, one of the rebels who sacrificed their lives to take a stand against in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Andor's…

Graphics go hard

I feel like there's a lot of stigma associated with being average. Not to have a boomer take, but I do think that telling kids they were gifted in the early 2000s because they read more chapter books than their peers was a mistake. Whenever the topic of “gifted kids” comes up,

Annabelle, and Chucky, move aside!

One of the coolest things about being a programmer is the lack of formality. People laughed at Mark Zuckerberg in the 2000s for enabling a culture where everyone wore a t-shirt and sweatpants to work. These days, it's not even a second thought that tech workers are not dressing up in a suit and tie. As somebody who works in an artsy-fartsy industry, I openly enable coders and programmers wearing their pajamas to work. We've got to stick together in this world and fight against the rules and reg…

Happy Sunday, freaks and weirdos. Does anyone else feel the " Sunday Scaries " looming over their shoulder? I'd like to say that it "couldn't be me," but alas. Even when your job involves scrolling through (and judging) internet things that are supposed to be funny, Monday isn't exactly a day I look forward to. Only an hour before I started typing this I was flabbergasted by the fact that it was already the ass end of the week. And that's largely due to the fact that Saturday was a blur of near…

This is why taking your daughter fishing is important, to be there for her during moments like this.
