Did you know that gossip columnist Perez Hilton originally coined the term "amazeballs"? I find this news to be devastating, as I could have never guessed that such a swag slang term would've come from the mind of one of society's most nefarious journalists. In hindsight, it's horrifying that we just sat back and let him say everything he said about Britney Spears . Granted, most of us were mere children when it occurred, but we still should have done something about it. Since his now long pass…

While we don't normally need an excuse to look at cute animals on the internet, but we'll take one when it comes up. And boy, did one come up this weekend. Twitter user @adamgreattweet (who happens to live up to his handle) penned a viral tweet about the differences between dog names and cat names. Despite the fact that it was a wild (and harmless) generalization, the quip went viral, racking up over 36k retweets and almost 500k likes.

Filling up the meme bowl

Cats are the bomb, but cats have their fair share of haters who can never keep it to themselves. These cat haters all have the same blanket excuses for disliking cats. One of these excuses is, "when you die, your cat will eat your dead body." Well, to that, I say, I'm glad she will. If my cat didn't gobble up my corpse in a desperate bid at survival, I would be disappointed, to say the least. But let's not think about that morbid side of cats. Let's think of positive things! Sunshine, rainbows,…

Every animal in the world will do two things: live and die. Disney's The Lion King (1994) illustrates this concept perfectly. One second, a monkey is introducing a baby lion into the world. Thirty minutes later, you're sobbing watching that baby lions father being trampled to death. That movie wasn't lying when it talked about the circle of life moving us all. If you love animals, you probably hate animals dying. I remember when the seminal film Marley and Me hit theatres, and animal lovers eve…

In my humble opinion, the greatest song ever written is Gilda Radner's “ Let's Talk Dirty To The Animals .” In that tune, the original SNL cast member revealed some timeless truths about the animal kingdom. That song isn't really about being dirty or nasty or filthy. It's about camaraderie. Non-human animals don't want to be talked down to or patronized. Animals are people to, and they deserve to be talked to dirty just as much as anybody else. If you've never heard Gilda Radner tell an alligat…

She was doing a routine database search when she accidentally found heartbreaking news...

Dr. Dolittle is one lucky dog. That man can talk to the animals, and nobody bats an eye. He has been portrayed by Rex Harrison, Eddie Murphy, and Robert Downy Jr. Clearly, when they were casting these movies, they said, “Non-legends need not apply.” Only the most advanced actors

I know what you're probably thinking: “What? Memebase puts out so many lists of random memes every week? Are you sure that this is the absolute funniest?!”

If you're feeling drained by the world and, like, everything, you're not alone. We're all well aware of the turmoil facing most of the globe, be it pandemic-related, war-related, or violence-related. When times get tough and you fall into another doom-scrolling episode, it's best to try to press pause, take a deep breath, and do something that makes you happy. For us, that often means scrolling through something happy. The activity serves as a sort of palate cleanser in the face of the crap tha…

Nowadays, it's increasingly challenging to find memes for the whole family. Ten years ago, wholesome memes comprised a much more significant portion of the meme ecosystem. Unfortunately, that's no longer the case. Now, so many memes you come across are either depressing, catastrophizing, or just plain rude. Extremely online people might not think there's a market for solely wholesome memes. However, they'd be wrong! I can't tell you the number of people who tell me, “I only want to use social m…

. Whoever said dogs were “Man's Best Friend” forgot to include penguins, raccoons , salmon, and all animals in the animal kingdom. Animals are the light of our lives. They deserve parades and non-toxic cakes celebrating their existence. Disney's Animal Kingdom is just that; a theme park devoted to celebrating animals 365 days a year. They say it's not a zoo, but it's totally a zoo. Animal Kingdom is 33% depictions of wildlife in Asia and Africa, 33% Pandora the World of Avatar, and 33% DInoland…

Getting reccomened meditation by a friend or a therapist feels kind of weird. It's like they know just by looking at you that you refuse to shut off your brain for even one second of your waking hours. They sniff you and think, “now this is a person who will consume media at an alarming rate just so they don't have to hear the thought bouncing through their head.” I've never really successfully done meditation because I struggle with taking it seriously. I'm supposed to not ruminate on any thou…
