It's more than just a windy city.

Hiding in the bathroom when you don't want to be somewhere is a time-honored tradition. I've done it my whole life; I'm not afraid to smell a little dookie to get me out of math class for five minutes. That is a price I'm willing to pay. Hiding in the bathroom improved in high school because that's when vapes got popular. Instead of the bathroom smelling like a bathroom, it was filled with an array of tropical fruit flavors . The teen vapers made my bathroom experience much brighter than any Fe…

Gamers rise up.

It's almost always impressed me that the internet has a special place for pretty much everyone. It has the power to bring people together, and not just thanks to our most popular social media platforms, like Facebook or Instagram. Because of meetup sites and meetup apps, people are making real connections with individuals who have similar interests - people they almost certainly wouldn't be acquainted with otherwise. See, it's no easy feat to fight the crippling loneliness that hangs over many…

Woof

Welcome back to another round of Tolkien Tuesday , when I (your host) provide y'all with the best Lord of the Rings memes I've seen this week. And lemme tell ya, some weeks are better than others. While I was on vacation it was announced that Warner Brothers would be getting in on the Lord of the Rings action by creating some new films based in the universe. It's been made very clear that the films would not be remakes of the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, with Warner Bros Co-CEOS…

Back to it

We've got some good news for history buffs who also happen to appreciate the finer things in life. You know, things of culture. And if you're a man of culture you'll know we're talking about anime and history memes. Thanks to the r/HistoryAnimemes subreddit, there's a wealth of history meme/ anime meme mashups at our disposal. You know, the best of both worlds. Some of the memes are a bit depressing, others are slightly less doomy. But we're just glad that there's finally a way we can enjoy the…

Oh, joy. It's Monday again. Where has the time gone? It feels like just yesterday I had my feet propped up on the coffee table, my body wrapped lovingly in a blanket burrito. I can still taste the popcorn and hear the many ditzy nurses on The Bachelor whining about getting dates with Zach S. Maybe that's because this was exactly what I was doing yesterday. My point is that peace and quiet and feeling free of responsibility are both fleeting. As much as we hate Monday for robbing us of our restf…

Being a relatively new programmer is like living in two completely different worlds. Non-programmers think you are the absolute dog's meow. They act like you cured cancer, achieved world peace, and are worth 20 billion dollars. That kind of validation for choosing a well-paying career path can feel good, but it wears off soon enough when you're around senior programmers . You feel like the most useless ant at the picnic basket when you're with guys who've been doing it for years. In that room,…

Take a moment

Before everything, there were dinosaurs.

If you're a PC gamer then it's safe to assume you're probably using Steam . No sane person would willingly use something like Epic Games' launcher as their first choice. That isn't to say that Steam doesn't have its notorious quirks and glitches, but hey, nobody's perfect. If you're a PC gamer who has had to enter your birthday into Steam's login window about a million times, then these are the memes for you.

Rock and roll

Chances are that we don't need to tell you dogs are pretty damn special. There's no other animal that has a friendship as strong with the human race as dogs do. It's true that cats are probably the most popular pet around the world, and perhaps the most heavily meme'd, but dogs have been bred over centuries to aid humans in so many helpful ways, which has probably created this unshakable bond. It honestly makes sense that doggos are used in hospitals, schools, nursing homes, and other instituti…
