They are moreish

By now, everyone's seen some of the hilariously cursed images generated through OpenAI's infamous AI system, DALL-E. Memelords and regular internet users alike have had a hell of a time testing the system's limits and possibilities, and we've gotten some pretty dank memes out of it. One redditor recently posted a series of fake movie posters that look like DALL-E vomited its closest approximations to some of Hollywood's most famous titles. While most of these are pretty obvious, we've included…

“You may need therapy yourself” is a line from 1999's Analyze This that has somehow become an inside joke between my friends and I. We put on our best De Niro accent and giggle our way through any vaguely therapy-related conversation. We may be poking fun at the line (uttered by a slightly ashamed mob boss in therapy), but it's probably true no matter who you're talking to. The fact is, nearly everyone I've met could benefit from doing a little supervised work on themselves. Though being a neur…

It's IT meme time! I know what you're wondering: Do you mean IT, the classic Stephen King novel and 2017/2019 films about clowning gone wrong? Absolutely not, you stupid baby! It's IT time as in, the actually important IT, which stands for Information Technology . Now I will be honest with y'all. I am not a diva of the IT or computer science or programming persuasion. I am merely a humble former English major hoping that the STEM kids in the room accept these memes into their hearts. Even if I…

We've all been stuck in an impossibly cringeworthy situation before, whether it's of your own doing or someone else's. Maybe, when you look back, you realize that super cool outfit from middle school actually looked horrible, or you uncover footage from your aspiring comedy career that reveals you weren't ever all that funny to begin with. If you're feeling down on yourself or like life has dealt you a raw deal, take comfort in the fact that you're not one of these horribly cringe-worthy indivi…

When I was a kid, there was one consistent force that was always in my life. One thing I could always count on being there, with all of its wisdom and beauty. I'm talking, of course, about my father's Lego Yoda , fresh in the box. Now I'm not talking about one of those tiny Lego people with Yoda printed on it. Oh no, it is far more glorious than that. My dad won a sizable recreation of Yoda constructed solely with Legos in the late 90s. You might wonder how he won such a prize at a Target in Il…

If you've been watching HBO's game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon , then you're probably familiar with the emotional rollercoaster of the show's first season. The series, which is set two hundred years before the original, is rife with problematic themes (classic Targaryen incest), some strange choices regarding timelines and casting, and some seriously insufferable characters. Yes, we're mostly talking about Ser Criston Cole. While we wait for tomorrow to enjoy what is set to be an ac…

Thank god it's Friday night and I just got paid. Now I can create a crater in my comfy couch while I watch a movie and order takeout. I love that Seamless, Doordash, and Uber Eats allow me to get the food I crave with minimal social interaction. You see, it's not that I don't like people. And it's not that I have a ton of social anxiety. I just need a lot of time to recharge, and prefer hanging out with my friends in intimate situations, without the hustle and bustle of the going-out crowd. I'm…

Happy weekend, friends, enemies, and lovers. If you're seeking some quick and easy entertainment, we would have to recommend ye olde bird app. Twitter , for all its unpleasantry, often acts as a hyper-productive joke factory - one that could probably benefit from many of its users taking a day off or two. While it's true that some of the time the prolific posters churn out some incredibly annoying content (the kind that we try to avoid), it's usually possible to find some clever jokes, hot and…

Reel it in

Being sad is so in right now

Oh me, oh my! My eyes may deceive my mind, but by Jove , I must hope and must pray that this is real life and I'm living it. I have seemingly been blessed by a gift from a generous fairy: 35 gorgeous and beautiful memes, all for my pleasure. Finally, my days of twiddling away in the mud, drawing my own mediocre memes with a stick and some rocks, are now far behind me. Now I can bask in the glorious glory of having so many memes all to myself. How do people who live in such abundance do it? How…

Those who were never band kids don't know how much spit is involved. Sure, other extracurriculars like baseball might inspire youths to become chronic spitters, but the school band takes it to a new level. If you play a woodwind instrument, you've got to moisten your reed up with spit, and if you don't, it will probably sound not very good. If you play a brass instrument, you have a "spit valve." When you play your instrument, the moisture from your lips travels through your instrument and buil…

It's strong

Social media sites come and go, and this summer, there's one sweeping the nation. BeReal is an app that encourages people to show their “real life” online instead of a glamorized depiction of it. Every day, the app prompts its users to take a picture at a random time of the day. The users will post what they're doing and can interact with their friend's posts. BeReal isn't designed to be the typical social media app that keeps you scrolling for hours. It's more focused on allowing people to see…
