As an American who recently moved to the United Kingdom, a lot of the funny observations in this amusing Reddit thread about uniquely American things really resonated with me. For example, when someone asks me where I'm from, my first instinct is to say, “well I grew up in California, but I just moved from New York.” Whereas a European might simply respond with what country they're from. And I never realized that to many people outside the United States, certain Americans (especially New Yorker…

“Someone was literally being ripped to shreds and my dumba$s was teehee-heeing over the subtitles.”

I never wanted to play with corn more in my life.

It has recently come to my attention (difficult, ADHD ) that some of you actually read the dumb blurbs we compose for our random galleries. As surprised and slightly appalled as I am, I'm mostly honored, and kind of pleased. I now know that maybe we're not just shouting into the wind every day. This knowledge certainly opens up some opportunities. While it's true that every day can feel the same when we're grinding away to put out that sweet, sweet time-wasting material, it's good to know that…

There's a very specific camaraderie you develop when working in a restaurant/bar. People are actually relatively on point when they refer to working together as “being in the trenches.” When the rush comes around it's almost like you're put on autopilot. Swerving through the bus stations, screaming “Corner!” to prevent a terrible accident, and going back and forth from the table because they refuse to order their drinks at the same time. The stress of it all is pretty unparalleled - and if you'…

tl;dr

There are few games out there with the memetic shitposting power of gems like Ace Attorney . And if you're blindly jumping into this, wondering what the hell an “Ace Attorney” is, then you're probably not going to find this post very funny. But I'll lay down a bit of context anyway. Ace Attorney is a video game series first developed by Capcom in 2001. In the first game, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, the player must investigate legal cases and defend clients in court while assuming the roles of…

Can we make this into a drinking game for adults?

Just dumb

Dungeons & Dragons is a game that can unfold in bizarre and unexpected ways, even with the most elaborate planning and preparation—kind of like life! The best way to enjoy Dungeons & Dragons is to go with the flow, stay open-minded, and don't try to dominate the outcome too much (that also goes for all you extra controlling dungeon masters out there). Anyway, we've rounded up a load of funny and relatable Dungeons & Dragons memes for every kind of player. Just remember to share them with your p…

Memes, memes, memes. There are so many out there in the world, and simply not enough hours in the day to take them all in. Wouldn't it be swell if we were like those people on the spaceship in WALL-E , required to do nothing all day but be pumped up with media and snacks? Allegedly, my dad's distant cousin was the guy who was the inspiration for the evil captain in WALL-E, but that's neither here nor there. If that's the most famous person I am related to, I am pretty content with that. But all…

The birding community is a special one. In my experience, they take care of the land where they're seeking a glimpse of the next rare bird. They smile at their fellow binocular-ed passersby, share good spots (but not all of them), and pick up trash as they go on their way. The hobby is (mostly) a respectable one, involving an appreciation for living things. It's allowed me to be more present, soaking up the quiet beauty of most surroundings. It's tough to be a birder in New York City. The same…

Portland comedian @jayshingle is the mastermind of the bizarre and eerily depressing " Ordinary People Memes " Instagram account. The memes pair incredibly banal text with photos of, well, very ordinary people - and the results range from amusingly relatable to slightly dark and lonely. We hesitate to refer to them as a commentary on the volume of inanely basic tweets and memes , but they're definitely a weird palate cleanser after scrolling through pandering low-effort content.

You've all heard the stories of English speakers getting tattoos of phrases in languages they don't speak. They try to get something inspirational or beautiful tattooed on an extremely visible body part only to discover later that what their tattoo really said was either something random or humiliating. Either way, it was not what they asked for. Although this is still happening today, this trend in the tattoo world was huge in the 90s and 2000s and will never fully go away. Although this pheno…
