Always nice to keep yourself guessing.
Ever look around and get the sense that we're living in some sort of techno-dystopia? We get it—sometimes it's cool to have lights that you can dim from your phone or a watch that tells you how many calories you burned, but maybe the 'Internet of Things' has gone too damn far. Once you start connecting every single object in your home to the internet, you become pretty vulnerable when, say, Google is suddenly down, or your WiFi router malfunctions. Sometimes a doorbell should just be a doorbell and a toothbrush certainly shouldn't require regular firmware updates. And who the hell actually wants an Amazon surveillance robot literally flying around their house 24/7?
Anyway, we've got a bunch of examples of bad 'smart devices' from Twitter that might make you reconsider that bluetooth coffee mug purchase.
Looks like we're entering another lockdown in America as Covid-19 spikes across the country. And guess what? Millions of people are still unemployed, don't have health insurance, and CARES Act programs are about to expire. But for the United States, screwing over its workers who produce all the wealth for the country is nothing new. The long-standing structural failure in America is simply rearing its ugly head now that crisis is ubiquitous. But hey, at least we have memes!
If you're pissed off like millions of other common Americans, these relatable working class memes might resonate with you.

It's nearly been a week since Amazon released their final episode of The Boys' second season and we are still definitely not okay. The finale lived up to the show's hype: it was an action-packed hour of violence, intrigue, and very dark humor. Some of the violence was good - the evil Nazi "supe" Stormfront was reduced to a very crispy German-spouting stump. Unfortunately, the white supremacist's demise came at the expense of Becca, the beloved wife of Karl Urban's gruff and foul-mouthed Billy Butcher.
Becca's untimely death brought out a sentimentality in Butcher that we hadn't seen before, leaving the vigilante to take care of her laser-eyed, Ryan. Between that tear-inducing segment, Victoria Neuman's supe reveal, and Homelander's bizarre (and epic) self-pleasure scene, the hour was chock full of insanity. It's a shame we have to wait until 2021 for new episodes, but we take comfort knowing that the showrunners have plans to keep the action going for at least 5 seasons. While we anxiously wait for more Fresca references and c-word abuse, we'll have to settle for these memes.
"Wait, they have clothing that's not organic? Somebody needs to donate this to a homeless shelter."
Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, and now Disney+? Sometimes more choices are not necessarily a good thing. Disney just ditched Netflix and came out with its own streaming service this week and the internet is pretty divided on where they stand with it.
Now instead of paying one flat fee for a multitude of TV shows and movies on one streaming service, you can pay a bunch of little fees for a million different companies who don't give a sh*t about you! And predictably, those costs add up.
Our solution to all of this? Don't pay for any of them! For legal reasons we can't tell you to pirate anything, so we won't.
Anyway, take a little stroll through the following memes and tweets that roast the stupid number of streaming services available to us now.
We love a good double entendre as much as the next person, and this tweet from the Wareable Twitter account is the most satisfying bit of sauciness we've seen in a while. The site, which focuses on wearable technology, tweeted "Amazon Echo Frames are smartglasses that bring Alexa to your face" regarding the new Google Glass-esque product. We're willing to bet that they knew exactly what they were doing - and Twitter's been, ahem, eating this brilliant copy-editing up.
In case you haven't heard about the Great Sandwich War of 2019...well, it's a thing. Because apparently that's what's important in people's lives right now. Not, you know, the fact that the Amazon Rain Forest is burning down, or the political turmoil happening throughout the world. Nope, it's the chicken sandwiches that matter.
Anyway, have a lovely day and enjoy these memes about fried chicken sandwiches! Or whatever! Who cares!
The Amazon Rain Forest, one of Earth's most important filters, is currently burning down at an alarming rate and hardly any news outlets are reporting on it. Many Brazilians are blaming President Jair Bolsinaro for "encouraging loggers and farmers to clear the land" since taking office in January, according to the BBC.
People on Twitter have been bringing light to the devastating situation under the hashtags 'Amazon Rain Forest' and 'Pray for Amazonia.'
So what can we do about all of this? Other than spreading awareness, we're honestly not sure. Here are some of the depressing reactions people have had to the situation.
Apparently we're actually living in George Orwell's 1984.
Amazon has come under fire for allegedly creating fake Twitter accounts (under the name "Amazon FC Ambassador") to silence any criticism of the working conditions of its fulfillment centers which, if you're unaware, are known for being particularly sweatshop-like.
Recently various Twitter users have called out Amazon for this...bizarre (to say the least) behavior.
So without further ado, here are some of the best parodies and examples of the creepy Orwellian tweets!
