I don't believe in the divine rights of kings, but I do believe in the divine rights of memes.

The highly anticipated cyberpunk cat game has launched and—surprise, surprise—the internet is obsessed. It's only been a week since the release of Stray and fans are already memeing and modding the game like crazy. While most normal people are using mods to make their character look more like their own IRL cat, the deviants and trolls of gaming are creating some pretty cursed mods, including one that allows you to play the game as a hideously cat-shaped CJ from GTA: San Andreas, and another tha…

Cats are weird. They are way more mysterious than their canine counterparts, and have a lot more attitude. While they have a reputation for being cold and calculated, that's hardly the reality. While it's sometimes true, my cats are total freakazoids. They have weird rituals , pile up fake mice as gifts on the foot of my bed, wrestle, sit in strange places. The best is when they stare at walls. What the hell are they seeing that I'm not?? Anyway. My cats are far from the only exception to tired…

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…

What is a meme , really? Memes used to be a particular series of image macros that took over internet culture during the 2000s. These days, however, a meme is a much broader way of categorizing online content. Does a meme have to be made up of pictures and text? Must it be something that can be replicated in different forms, like how Bad Luck Brian was a consistent image with different white text every time? Does a meme belong to everyone or the person who created it? Is there any ethical way t…

Are we still playing that “He's a 10, but…” game? It seems to have died down over the past couple of weeks, but the concept is timelessly fun. Rating people via numbers is something that has been done for a hot second. To be honest, I have no clue when adding numeral values of hotness to others was developed as a way of ranking

Some memes are just better than others. There's a conspiracy theory amongst older generations that because millennials were given participation trophies, they feel like they are way better than they actually are. Boomers fail to realize that kids could, and still can, tell the difference between an award everyone got and one they earned. For instance, when I was in high school, I won the award “Most Likely To Fall Off Of The Risers” in choir class. I wish I could tell you that earning this most…

We are staunchly in the summertime , which means there's no escape from the indomitable orb of the sun and the atmosphere's various strategies of humidifying. Remember, this isn't the hottest summer of your life; it's the coldest summer of the rest of your life. While summertime might be the seasonal favorite of many, I tend to prefer autumn. My favorite thing about September, October, and November is guessing what will be seasonally appropriate to wear. Every day is a different story, resultin…

Do you ever realize that life is like…kind of bad ? Well, what are you going to do about it? Rotting in your room and wasting away playing Yahtzee is always an option until you realize that marinating in your filth is not a long-term solution to anything. The grass always feels greener on the other side. When you have a job, you wish you didn't. When you're unemployed, you are freaking out trying to become employed. Nothing seems to go the way you want it to until it does. Every day, you are ju…

It's IT time! I know what you're wondering: Do you mean IT, the classic Stephen King novel and 2017/2019 films about clowning gone wrong? Absolutely not, you stupid baby! It's IT time as in, the actually important IT, which stands for Information Technology . Now I will be honest with y'all. I am not a diva of the IT or computer science persuasion. I am merely a humble former English major hoping that the STEM kids in the room accept these memes into their hearts. Even if I don't fully understa…

Let's be honest. You need a laugh; I need a laugh. We all need to laugh a little bit more. We can't keep rewatching the same three seasons of Strangers With Candy until we die to get the last few giggles out of our usually unamused husks of bodies. Laughter is a force of healing, and if we don't do it enough, we're going to shrivel up and die. There are only so many 22-minute comedies you can consume in one day, especially if you are a person of the employed persuasion. Those 22-minute comedies…

It is wild that nearly every kid I knew wanted to be an animal scientist or a marine biologist when they grew up. I guess it makes sense since animals are one of the four interests children consistently have across generations: animals, books, sports, and pink. If you meet a kid that doesn't possess at least one of these interests, you have just met an individual in the 99th percentile of uniqueness. Kids and adults love animals, and I don't blame them. Animals love you unconditionally unless t…

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…

Let's cut to the chase. We know why you're here. You want 30 hilarious memes of various subject matters injected into your bloodstream immediately. Well, if that's the case, I'm going to have to ask you a few questions. Where were you the night of June 28th? Haha, I'm just kidding. I know exactly where you were. These memes contain some pretty classified information. Only really advanced people like the Pope and Marina Ambromovic can see these. You might say this isn't your average list of rand…
