Cats are one of the most remarkable animals ever invented. I didn't grow up with a cat myself, but I was a massive fan of the most famous cat in the world, Garfield . Garfield is a cat with no job, and yet he hates Mondays. He loves lasagna, sleeping, and being a menace to everyone he meets. As I grow older, I'm becoming much more of a Garfield than I used to be. When I was a baby, I was Odie: a creature who couldn't speak but is just happy to be alive. When I was a kid, I was Nermal: young and…

Happy 4th of July ! 245 years ago the United States declared independence, and it's been a party ever since. Independence Day is one of the best holidays for barbeques, fireworks, and ugly Old Navy t-shirts. One of the best parts of the 4th of July is foraging for a place to watch the fireworks. In every city and town in America, this is a blood sport. People claim their territory for firework viewing a full 72 hours before the festivities even begin. My personal favorite part of the 4th is tho…

Celebrating America is great and all, but we'd rather celebrate the glorious art of grilling. There's nothing like the smell of charcoal to get that feeling of celebration going. Plump sausages. Cold beer. Sizzling burgers. Dads flaunting their new Balance sneakers. And if you're lucky, that sweet smell of a chlorinated pool just waiting to be tainted by grubby little ketchup stained hands. Here's to grilling. And here's to memes.

How far is too far when snooping through someone's packages? It is not uncommon for mail carriers to misplace deliveries, and you might never see your package again with one misplaced delivery. However, some people are way too comfortable looking through strangers' things.

Dog memes for a little dopamine boost

When Twitter user @canceric found himself accepted by a Flat Earth Facebook page, he couldn't resist having fun with its members. The PUBG player decided to take a screenshot while playing the game and posted it to the group as though it were a photo of the Black Sea. He specifically notes the lack of curvature and the Flat Earthers took the bait from there.

Alarming facts about the dark side of humanity seem to overwhelmingly make up most of the content that bombards us on a daily basis. But what about the good stuff? Is the world really as awful as it's made out to be, or does the media like to tell a different story because the bad stuff attracts more clicks? In any case, there are plenty of comforting facts that could reassure even the most jaded doomer, and one redditor seeking a bit of optimism asked Reddit to share some of their favorites. W…

Lots of fun

The newest Baz Luhrmann flick Elvis opened last weekend. While some don't approve of the revisionist history that the film promotes, the movie has generally been well-received so far. One aspect of the film that's gotten some attention on Twitter is the titular character's appearance in the late 70s. Let's just say that right before he died, Elvis looked…different.

Being a bartender may seem like a glamorous and perk-filled gig to some people, but it's not everything it's cracked up to be. While it may seem fun and benevolent to be getting people drunk, the duty comes with the bonuses of semi-frequent vomit, belligerence, creepy guys, finger-snapping, and people who expect freebies. Even as a bartender in a restaurant, my clientele may have been politely seated at the bar, but the servers sending me tickets had no concept of the time it takes to make cock…

Once you leave school and get into the regular routines of life, it can be hard to find new things to do that make you think. It's often difficult to find something exciting to stimulate your brain. Many people use little games and puzzles to keep their brains challenged and active, which is admirable. While doing a crossword every day probably won't make you a genius, it can imbue little nuggets of knowledge into your mind that previously might have just stayed in the newspaper. Personally, I…
