Language acquisition is not known to be quickly accomplishable or straightforward. Most of us spend four years in a high school classroom fruitlessly trying to learn French, Spanish, or German, to completely forget everything we've learned in the weeks after graduating. I even took three semesters of Russian language courses in college, which may or may not have been because my favorite comedian at the time was a fluent Russian-speaking drag queen. For monolingual divas like me, foreign languag…

Internet memes are the one part of the cultural zeitgeist that no one will ever be able to successfully make a fictional movie about. No matter how much they try, it will never work, kind of like how a New York Times think-piece about a viral meme will always feel ridiculous and awkward. It's like trying to explain why a joke is funny—you just end up butchering the punchline and looking like a dumbass. Just let memes be. Don't write anything profound or pretentious about memes. Don't talk about…

The “she’s a 10, but…’’ meme has blown up online over the past week. It originated as a game on TikTok, where friends would ask each other how a potential romantic partners attractiveness would be affected by certain qualities. For instance one person might say, “he’s a 6, but he gets his memes from Memebase” and the other person might respond, “he’s a 10.” Since it’s rise in popularity on TikTok, the meme format has made its way to Twitter, where countless iterations of the joke have been shar…

She's totally gonna have a BF

It's interesting how certain things make an impact on your brain and others don't. As a person who is forced, gun to my head, chained to desk, to scroll through Twitter all day, it's fascinating to think of all the short shared sentiments I've seen that just disappeared into the ether of my poisoned brain. But like my therapist says, it's better to focus on being grateful for the things you do have, rather than lamenting the loss of whatever you've lost or forgotten. So today we're here to talk…

If parallel universes exist, then logically that means there's an alternate reality where memes don't exist, and everything is just varying shades of grey, and food tastes like ash. People look peculiarly ageless because there's no sunshine and no one ever laughs. In this grotesque alternate reality, the only form of entertainment that exists is a single channel on television, which only plays static, but people watch it anyway because there's nothing else to do. Why am I painting such a depres…

Whether you like it or not, math is all around us. Legend has it that Sir Isaac Newton formulated gravitational theory after watching an apple fall from a tree, and I like to imagine that in that moment, the world around him transformed into a series of equations, not unlike Neo perceiving the Matrix in its true form for the first time. For all the nerds out there who can't help but see the mathematics in everything, this collection of unabashedly nerdy math memes is just for you.

The doctor prescribed antibiotics. The besties prescribed Hint of Lime chips, Bud Lite Limes, and key lime pie!

Unacceptable

Meal prep services have been around for years with little to no controversy. Sure, some people think they're emblematic of the laziness of their customers. Others have mocked their prolific runs on podcast ads. However, nothing has shaken the meal prep industry like a lentil that will give consumers serious damage to their internal organs.

It's nice to participate in the simple pleasures in life once and a while. Sure, these things might not be expensive or high class or highly memorable, but they add a little extra something to your day to make it stand out. So often, our days feel like they're running together, one day looking practically identical to the rest. When you're living for the weekend, making the week feel like it counts as a part of your actual life can be challenging. Incorporating little unique things into each da…

Ever since Pizza Rat came on the scene in the subway of New York City, people have had a fascination with animals doing human things. Namely eating. While it's funny to see a cat slouched over like Al Bundy, there's something about a critter chomping on a very human treat that just seems to tickle our collective fancy. Twitter user @heatherchristle reminded us of these simple pleasures when she shared the tale of being woken up by a mouse attempting to dig into a Lindt truffle.

I can't go out, I'm sick

I bet you didn't know meme stars like the “I like turtles” kid, peanut butter baby, and “slippery lil snek” guy ARE FULL GROWN ADULTS NOW.
