Not everything has to be so positive all of the time. There are so many people out there who believe that having a positive attitude will literally cure all that is wrong with them, which is patently untrue. In fact, I would argue that desperately trying to be positive even when you're not in a good place does more harm than good. If you can't sit with the things that make you unhappy, then you'll never be able to confront and change them. On a less deep note, isn't it a little bit fun to be a…

In every good collection of memes or Instagram shitpost account, you can always find at least one modest SpongeBob meme. At once a relic of childhood and a symbol of millennial internet culture, everyone's favorite sentient sea sponge is omnipresent. But just because you see SpongeBob memes everywhere, doesn't mean the iconic cartoon shouldn't get the respect it deserves. That's why we've put together a special collection of only Spongebob memes. Many of these memes come from the r/BikiniBottom…

The meme population is rapidly growing every day. For every meme that dies, at least three are born. These bite-sized forms of entertainment are way easier and cheaper to make than babies. Much like an infant fish, you really don't have to take care of them once you kick them out of the nest. It is estimated that humans will go extinct before memes do. As our birth rates decline, the memes keep marching on. With so many memes frolicking through this world, it's difficult to decide which ones yo…

Nowadays, it's increasingly challenging to find memes for the whole family. Ten years ago, wholesome memes comprised a much more significant portion of the meme ecosystem. Unfortunately, that's no longer the case. Now, so many memes you come across are either depressing, catastrophizing, or just plain rude. Extremely online people might not think there's a market for solely wholesome memes. However, they'd be wrong! I can't tell you the number of people who tell me, “I only want to use social m…

Memes love you. Memes will never leave you randomly one night without warning, never to be seen again. The memes you have stored on your phone will be with you for as long as you want, and they won't leave unless you ask them to. If you politely and amicably split with your memes, they will be cordial and respectful. Memes won't leave your phone in the middle of the night, go into the city doing God knows what with God knows who, and sneak back into your phone at 6 AM and think you won't notice…

Getting reccomened meditation by a friend or a therapist feels kind of weird. It's like they know just by looking at you that you refuse to shut off your brain for even one second of your waking hours. They sniff you and think, “now this is a person who will consume media at an alarming rate just so they don't have to hear the thought bouncing through their head.” I've never really successfully done meditation because I struggle with taking it seriously. I'm supposed to not ruminate on any thou…

Spongebob is one of the most iconic cartoon characters of all time. He has served as the unofficial mascot for Nickelodeon for over two decades and has filled our lives with laughter for just as long. Spongebob SquarePants is one of those shows with humor that will hold up for generations. It's the perfect kind of kid's show that keeps the young ones entertained but with enough wit and humor to have fully grown adults in stitches. The episodes are endlessly rewatchable (at least up to Season 3)…

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

There's been an epidemic sweeping the programming memes community. One meme has positively overtaken r/ProgrammerHumor to the point that it's nearly unuseable. I'm of course talking about, “what's stopping you from coding like this?”

Have you ever heard the theory that the United States is like a melting pot, with various cultures coming together and amalgamating into one uniquely American culture? Despite that talking point's prominence, America as a melting pot is quite a misnomer because cultures don't just bleed into each other. Cultural practices don't become an indistinguishable goo similar to that of cheese fondue just because they exist in close proximity to each other. Instead of the melting pot theory, other socio…

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…

If loving my wife is a crime, officer, lock me up! That is the boomer dad version of the newest Twitter meme . It features the caption “me if [banal thing] was illegal” typically accompanied by a picture of Spongebob being handcuffed by the coppers, his face in agony. This meme format is fun because it's just so easy! I have a long list of everyday things that I could not stop doing, even if they were illegal! They include the following… Me if drinking at least four servings of Diet Coke per da…

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…

Here we go again, back at it with another steaming hot plate of memes for your consumption. It must be so nice to have delicious memes provided to you every night without effort on your part. Some people in this world slave away, looking for memes far and wide to feel their ever-growing families. When I was a boy, I used to walk 20 miles uphill and back in the snow to get to school. What does that have to do with memes you might ask? Absolutely nothing, but I just wanted to rub it in that your…

Hear ye! Hear ye! I be the town crier, and I have news of many merriments! Firstly of all, you are alive and not dead. That is a spectacular feat, considering how the world is during these times. These times can be mid, these times can be evil, and they are beyond capable of being both! Your status as a fully conscious human being is the good news. The bad news is that we are in the cold, cruel midst of a medieval peasant famine. But no need to fret, dear citizens. The king has been gracious en…

Once you leave school and get into the regular routines of life, it can be hard to find new things to do that make you think. It's often difficult to find something exciting to stimulate your brain. Many people use little games and puzzles to keep their brains challenged and active, which is admirable. While doing a crossword every day probably won't make you a genius, it can imbue little nuggets of knowledge into your mind that previously might have just stayed in the newspaper. Personally, I…
