Everyone deserves a treat

Do you remember a time before air conditioners? I do. Well, I remember a time before I was acquainted with them. Living in both New York City and St. Louis can be brutal. The mugginess, the heat, the stickiness and the crankiness that come with them. Back in the day, all we had was a whirring fan, popsicles and cold showers to keep us cool. My mom would put ice cubes in sandwich bags and toss them to our little whining hands, a brief respite from melting in our living room. Eventually, my paren…

It’s crazy that the psychological definition of a meme is “a unit of practice or belief through which a society or culture evolves and passes from one generation (or even one person) to the next.” So essentially, memes are building blocks of culture. Weird to think about, right? Remember that next time you laugh at an advice animal meme. You are participating in culture. Neat. Obviously, I’m no psychologist. I learned what I just explained in Psych 101. I write about memes for a living, so don’…

April is currently around the corner, which means that everyone's favorite marijuana-based holiday is around the corner as well. Here in New York City, the “yerba" has been legalized, which means 4/20/2023 is going to be very, very interesting. While “exotic” smoke shops have been popping up faster than a thirteen-year-old's pimples, most of them are operating without any legality. In fact, New York is giving licensing priority to charities and people who have been unfairly persecuted for minor…

Though it's undeniable that video game graphics are advancing rapidly, lore is getting richer with the growing popularity of open world games, and it's becoming more common for big publishers to hire movie stars to play characters or appear as NPCs, that doesn't mean “video game logic” isn't any less absurd. At the end of the day, video games aren't movies, and they certainly aren't real life, and when we turn on any video game, we have to suspend our disbelief quite a bit. But so what if punch…

Pedicure ready

Now, I've never been to a Renaissance fair, but it's definitely on my bucket list. Hanging out with my buds, eating a cartoonishly large hunk of mutton, drinking brews out of a gilded stein, and pretending we're in the late 1300s? That sounds like a dream come true. If you subtract the inherent suffering found in the medieval ages , it seems like a pretty good time. Who needs modern medicine? I'll just let one of those plague doctors in the bird mask tell me how to fix my ailments. Medieval mem…

We're not shortchanging you

A big focus on the wrath of the ocean.

Roll for memes

Oh, Florida. Perhaps one of the best states In America. Beautiful beaches, warm weather, incredible cities, and Disneyland. The perfect location for a family vacation or a peaceful retirement. Best of all, its population consists of some of this country's most unhinged individuals. Now, Florida gets a lot of hate. It’s become a meme to dunk on the state as if it’s one of the worst places to exist. I don’t necessarily agree with all the hate it gets. It is a genuinely great place to visit. I can…

The answer is trivial and is left as an exercise for the reader.

Birds flying high, you know how I feel

Memes just for you

Feeling good

Some kids are built for academic tests and some just aren't. But failing at a pop quiz doesn't necessarily mean a kid isn't smart. In fact, a certain kind of “ technically correct ” wrong answer is often a testament to a kid's cleverness. We've collected a bunch of funny examples of wrong exam answers that still deserve an “A” for comedic genius in our eyes. Or at least a couple of pity points.
