This week, breaking news hit everyone who cares about animals, and this one is a doozy. I don't know if you all remember the March 2020 Netflix hit series Tiger King. I know I certainly don't, at least not the details. Only the big plot points stick out in my head, and even those are a little fuzzy (fuzzy like the tigers, am I right???). One of the accusations that stick out in my mind is that Carol Baskin fed her dead husband's remains to her tigers. I, like so many millions of people with stu…

Charcuterie platters are an exceptionally fun way to consume food. The bottom half of my personal food pyramid is already primarily occupied by classic items on the average charcuterie board: crackers, cheese, grapes, and pickles. Slicing all of these foods up into tiny portions and consuming them communally just makes the foods themselves taste even better. However, I have recently heard of a shake up in the world of charcuterie plates. Allegedly, according to rumors, there are now charcuterie…

Aww

Who wouldn't?

As a purveyor of diverse Internet content, there are a few animals that have really had success in the realm of memedom. Cats are an obvious one - cat memes just never seem to get old. But we're more interested in the grittier, self-deprecating memes that feature raccoons, who are also known (affectionately) as trash pandas. If we're being honest, it should come as no surprise that raccoons have an incredibly devoted (and large)fanbase. The masked bandits are incredibly cute, they're wily, and…

It seems like AI has totally blown up over the past six months. I remember when I first started working at Memebase, DALL-E AI-generated images were all the rage on Twitter. Personally, I thought those images were extremely cool because they could really accurately encompass the prompt. As time has gone on, AI art has become even more ubiquitous online, and it's gotten better and better. The hands for most pieces are still blurry, and they're nowhere near as sophisticated as some types of deep…

Is there a divine reason for certain memes to be grouped together? As you're scrolling through this list, I'm sure you've seen at least one of these memes in a different context. It might have been on Tumblr a couple of years ago, on Twitter last week, or this very website. Memes are inherently communal things that are shared repeatedly to secure their legacy. You don't think we're just pumping these things out on an assembly line, do you? The question remains, though, why these memes? Why here…

Silliness is one of the most important qualities a person can have. Nobody likes someone who is super serious 99% of the time. I feel like I'm at my silliest when I'm doing childish activities . For example, my family and I saw the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in person this year. I had never really loved watching it on TV because I was more of a dog show person, but when I saw those giant balloons with my own two eyes, my inner child was freaking out. Every time I saw a new balloon peeking a…

Don't let the boredom win

Purrfect

The United States of America is known for many things. Among them are intolerance, the plague of obesity, Disney, all the obese people at Disney, and, last but not least, cowboys. If we're being totally honest, only a couple of those things make for good memes . And we're not talking about fat-shaming people who want to get married with Mickey and Minnie. For years we've idealized and even idolized the cattle herders of American ranches. While the characters may be a bit less "en vogue" than in…

Eeeee

What an iconic rodent!

People come and go, but memes will always be there for you. When none of your pals can make it to your birthday party, memes will be there for you. When your coworkers forget to invite you to happy hour though you asked them a bunch of times if they were up to anything after work, memes will be there for you. When your girlfriend leaves you for some guy and then you tell your best friend and he confesses to you that “some guy” was him the whole time, memes will be there for you. When your paren…

Can't wait to hop through 2023!

Brrrrp
