Free your mind and the memes will follow.

The ability to create an ambiance is an essential skill at this point. When everything seems to be falling apart around you, it's necessary to be at least able to listen to a curated playlist to make you feel like a calm human being with super stable emotions. That's why the Lo-fi Beats To Study and Relax To girl is such an inspiration to me. She is a hard worker who is unphased by the chaos, madness, and confusion of the world around her. She can study and relax simultaneously, and I deeply re…

Animals can be hilarious without even trying. From elephants attending the funerals of the people they've killed to ducks going to the pub , animals can get into absolutely absurd situations without anyone's help. Nobody knows how or why they got there, but you wish they could tell you about it. When I was a kid, I had a dog named Bear, one of the most intelligent animals I've ever met. One time, we left him in his crate at home, and when we returned, we couldn't believe what he did. Not only d…

If you asked any of my friends, they would tell you I am addicted to cats. And they might not be wrong. I'm constantly discussing Gorgeous and Grigio, my sweet, sweet furry pets. But the reality behind this infatuation might be less sweet than one would think. If you weren't aware, a little parasite called toxoplasmosis gondii causes toxoplasmosis, a disease that can affect nearly all living creatures, though it is most commonly found in cats. Despite that statistic, it's been documented in hum…

Being “random” used to really get you places in society. In the 2000s, randomness was a socially currenency the likes of which we had never seen before, and will probably never

One of the best things about memes is they aren't going anywhere anytime soon. It doesn't seem like memes are in danger of extinction, but you never know. As a kid, I was anxious about the entire internet deleting itself in a burning of the Library of Alexandria-esque crisis. This dilemma kept me up at night; If the internet got deleted, how would I watch the newest episode of Annoying Orange and Charlie the Unicorn? As I've grown older, I've found much more reasonable end-of-the-world scenario…

Unique pet names are such a joy. There's nothing worse than meeting an animal who has the most basic uncreative name you could think of. As a child, I went to the neighbor kids' house, thrilled to find out they had guinea pigs. However, my glee subsided when I found out the horrid truth. They named their white guinea pig Snowball, their brown guinea pig Hershey, and their black and white guinea pig Oreo. That is an abomination. How could you be so uncreative to name a pet the most obvious thing…

Old McDonald had a farm, EIEIO. And on that farm, he had some memes EIEIO. Well, we've got plenty more memes where that came from. Old McDonald may have had an oink-oink here and an oink-oink there, but he did not have an extensive list of side-splitting animal memes. Sure, Old McDonald might've posted some memes (that he printed out) onto the side of the barn, but the only ones who saw them were the cows, the chickens, and the common house cat. Here, we've got memes for all animal fans. Are yo…

It's the weekend, and that means it's meme time. Let's cut to the chase. Memes are a great way to spend your two days of weekly freedom. They're simple, funny, and a great way to massage your overused brain. Why crack open that new copy of Beowulf when you could simply not do that. Why try to stretch your brain when you've been pushing it all week long. It's time to take it easy and cuddle up with a nice meme. Your brain will thank you for it.

We're at that time of the week again. The bulk of the work week is over, the weekend is just on the horizon, and you're officially over the hump. Whether you're checking out the local honky tonk, sampling some grape and orange soda from an old okie smokey fountain, or going out and buying yourself a diamond-encrusted bolo tie, you never know what the magic of Thursday can bring. You know exactly what Natasha Lyonne meant when she said, "Thursday, what a concept." Do you know what the wonder and…

Oh no

What up, party people? It's the freakin' weekend, as someone who was cancelled would say. It's our hope that you're off doing something meaningful that will help you in the self-growth department. But guess what? It's totally cool if you're not. We get it. Life is tiring. You can't always be productive, even when it's in the name of self care . Sometimes the energy that you muster is just enough to change the channel on your television, or silently scroll through memes. If you're in the latter…

Pets are little bundles of endless entertainment. Twitter user @DustinGrowick recently shared an adorable picture of his cat disguised as a paper towel roll, and the post has inspired hundreds of people to reply with funny images of their own fuzzy masters of disguise. Keep scrolling to see our favorite highlights from the wholesome thread.

Sometimes a good cat meme just hits different. Sure, they're pretty basic and often too dumb to comprehend, but cat memes are like perfect distillation of memes as a whole medium. If you don't know what I'm going on about, it's okay, I know you're here for the memes. Whether you're an animal-lover or just an avid consumer of ridiculous memes, we've got just the collection of cute and funny cats for your enjoyment.

Are animals secretly listening to everything we say? Studies have shown that dogs can identify different human emotions through reading the facial expressions of their owners. Some scientists believe that dolphins, whose own spoken language is highly advanced, have the capacity to learn human languages and possibly even speak English. Of course, if a squirrel gives you an offended look after you make fun of him, it's likely just a funny coincidence. But this hilarious thread of animals seemingl…
