They're everywhere

It seems like some bosses would rather ruin the reputation of their company than throw a bone to their hardworking employees . There's no shortage of examples on every disgruntled favorite subreddit r/antiwork, but u/DLS3141 's post is something else. When everyone but OP's wife got a raise at her workplace, her boss used OP's salary as a justification, allegedly saying “you don't need it, unlike the men here.” Hello, human resources?!

Linguistic diversity is something that is not always praised in the workplace. Being bilingual is often seen as a boon for white-collar workers who know languages with reputations of being cosmopolitan or good to know for business. On the flip side, bilingual service workers tend to be perceived as being less intelligent when speaking in their native language.

Kris Jenner has been a queen of memes for years. From “You're doing amazing sweetie” to “Kim, would you stop taking pictures of yourself?” Your sister is going to jail," Kris Jenner's quotes from Keeping Up With the Kardashians have been meme staples for years. However, the newest Kris Jenner meme does not come from the reality show that launched her stardom, nor does it come from the virtually identical Hulu spinoff, The Kardashians. No, the meme that has sprouted up on TikTok finds its origin…

Greetings, fans of all things Tolkien. But especially fans of The Lord of the Rings. It's that time again: Tuesday. Which means we're putting out our favorite LOTR memes to grace our eyes over the past week. Some of them come from Facebook, where thousands of people get together to share incredibly stupid memes using imagery from the movies. Some of the memes come from Reddit, where it's a constant struggle to avoid reposted shitposts from years ago. We're not going to pretend they're the best…

Renting an Airbnb can be a double-edged sword. It can be nice to rent a whole apartment instead of one room at a hotel. However, there are so many aspects of Airbnbs that are unregulated and hard to predict, and this case is no exception.

On Sunday, Microsoft revealed plenty of exciting new game releases and updates at the 2022 Xbox and Bethesda Showcase, but the star of the show was undoubtedly Starfield— an open world sci-fi RPG that has already been dubbed by many as “ Fallout in space” and “No Man's Skyrim.” Bethesda showed off 15 minutes of Starfield gameplay, which might not have inspired the sort of hype they were hoping for. Many on Twitter, Reddit, and the comment sections of various gaming news outlets have been roasti…

The trajectory of internet memes in society is something we could have never predicted 20 years ago. However, memes have been a way of communicating before we even called them “memes." For instance, Kilroy Was Here was a meme that was popularized in World War II by American soldiers. They would draw the image of a bald guy with a large nose looking over a wall with the caption “Kilroy Was Here” on walls and other surfaces.

Pretending to be asleep can get people out of a lot of trouble. I used to feign slumber in the car to get out of climbing the stairs of our home and going to bed. I'm not sure which came first, my dad being unwilling to carry more or catching on to the ruse, but those days didn't last terribly long. This weekend, the internet learned that it's not only humans who turn to acting ( lying ) when faced with an undesirable situation. Apparently, horses will do this, too. At least that's what one clo…

Listen. Even we here at Memebase are humble enough to admit that it is impossible to consistently serve up the very best memes to grace the many pages of the internet. There are simply not enough witty, intelligent and funny people creating them these days - and not enough people with good taste sharing the good ones that already exist. If we are being totally sincere about why and when we seek out these tasty morsels of comedy, the best of the best really isn't necessary. We're more interested…

“I though she was mad because her dessert was a little cube of Jell-O…”

Self-deprecation isn't a new concept. People have used the attitude for both bad and good purposes - think of the “fool” of the courts of yore. Hating on themselves was literally their vocation. Comics have embraced this mode for years. But the advent of memes has allowed for self-deprecation to shine more palpably than it ever has before. All across the internet, depressed jokesters make themselves the punchline of jokes that are seen by millions of people just like them. While we don't condon…

In such a variable and modular game like Dungeons & Dragons , what does it mean to “cheat?” The notion of cheating might be straightforward in a game like Monopoly, but in D&D it's more of a vibe. One DM turned to r/DnD to confess that they think they've been cheating their players for quite some time. Rather than prepping every detail of the game beforehand, u/gimmemoneez mostly makes up details as they go along. Miraculously, none of the players have seemed to notice. Some fans of the game th…

Is it safe to post a picture of your house? An Instagram story of your street? Are stalkers snooping on your social media to find your exact location on a map? Well, yes and no.

Work, work, work, work, work, work

Sometimes life is pure pain, but that doesn't mean we can't laugh. In fact, it's often the only thing we can do in the face of rejection, humiliation, and total failure . When people post about their tragic Ls, we're not laughing at them, we're laughing with them. Because we've all been there. Lord knows I have. If you're in the mood for a dose of schadenfreude, we've got a bunch of painful yet hilarious posts full of facepalm.
