About a year ago I found myself in a funny position. A friend of mine told me about a very enticing job opening at the crypto company she worked for. This was around when NFTs were starting to blow up. The position was basically being a representative for NFT artists who dropped NFTs on their platform. The pay? Six figures. The people? I could have cared less. The only catch was that I'd have to do some serious research on these “non-fungible tokens." So I did.

TikTok dances are a staple of the platform, but Charli D'Amelio and Addison Rae might have some competition in the form of a bald dancing animated man.

Everyone should start a band. You get to dedicate all your free time to practicing the same handful of songs that no one but your bandmates want to hear. You'll lose money at worst and break even at best. You get at least two free drink tickets per gig. Sound guys will automatically hate you. You'll get criminally ripped off by streaming services, but at least you'll get good exposure! What's not to love about being in a band ? If you've ever been in a band, even just for a few weeks before rag…

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

Those warm and fuzzy feelings

There's an awful lot of discourse surrounding Pride. June ( Pride month ) is the only month that most evil corporations can agree on one thing: pretending to be inclusive and supporting LGBTQIA lives. The phenomenon of these companies adopting rainbows on social media, and pumping out pandering advertisements, has actually inspired a ton of memes of it's own. And once June ends? Well, things go back to normal. Gone are the colorful logos, and it's back to the cold, sleek insignias of the rest o…

This and that

Internet memes are the one part of the cultural zeitgeist that no one will ever be able to successfully make a fictional movie about. No matter how much they try, it will never work, kind of like how a New York Times think-piece about a viral meme will always feel ridiculous and awkward. It's like trying to explain why a joke is funny—you just end up butchering the punchline and looking like a dumbass. Just let memes be. Don't write anything profound or pretentious about memes. Don't talk about…

The “she’s a 10, but…’’ meme has blown up online over the past week. It originated as a game on TikTok, where friends would ask each other how a potential romantic partners attractiveness would be affected by certain qualities. For instance one person might say, “he’s a 6, but he gets his memes from Memebase” and the other person might respond, “he’s a 10.” Since it’s rise in popularity on TikTok, the meme format has made its way to Twitter, where countless iterations of the joke have been shar…

If parallel universes exist, then logically that means there's an alternate reality where memes don't exist, and everything is just varying shades of grey, and food tastes like ash. People look peculiarly ageless because there's no sunshine and no one ever laughs. In this grotesque alternate reality, the only form of entertainment that exists is a single channel on television, which only plays static, but people watch it anyway because there's nothing else to do. Why am I painting such a depres…

Whether you like it or not, math is all around us. Legend has it that Sir Isaac Newton formulated gravitational theory after watching an apple fall from a tree, and I like to imagine that in that moment, the world around him transformed into a series of equations, not unlike Neo perceiving the Matrix in its true form for the first time. For all the nerds out there who can't help but see the mathematics in everything, this collection of unabashedly nerdy math memes is just for you.

Ever since Pizza Rat came on the scene in the subway of New York City, people have had a fascination with animals doing human things. Namely eating. While it's funny to see a cat slouched over like Al Bundy, there's something about a critter chomping on a very human treat that just seems to tickle our collective fancy. Twitter user @heatherchristle reminded us of these simple pleasures when she shared the tale of being woken up by a mouse attempting to dig into a Lindt truffle.

Companies that aren't afraid to stoop real low

RIP to taking a rip

When you're taken down by boredom, it can be kind of hard to be selective. Almost any form of inane entertainment will suffice. You can turn on the television and feel like you are experiencing something new - even when you're actually scrolling through stupid Instagram posts while it plays in the background. Like you do almost every evening of your sad and boring life. You can take a leisurely walk around the neighborhood, admiring all the numerous piles of burning garbage on the streets and t…
