Dan Milano, a senior producer at Now This News, created this hilarious Twitter thread of his brother building an artistic masterpiece of a Cybertruck at Thanksgiving dinner using mashed potatoes. And honestly we have to admit that we like it better than the real thing - at least this one you can eat. Sorry, Elon.

We usually use Twitter to waste time on funny tweets, but every now and then it provides some serious knowledge to our weak brains. This particular thread explains the bizarre nature of old Christmas cards - and shares some seriously freaky examples. This is some serious pre-Hallmark shit. We just wish we could find these at our local stationery store.
Sick and tired of history memes from the twentieth century? Well you're in luck - this gallery contains 20 dank memes from the times of the Wild West, also known as the Middle Ages. What the f*ck people were doing back then, we'll never truly understand.
Gesǣlig Eastordæg! Or something like that.
We never wanted to be that chick whining about breaking her nail, but here we are. No matter how hard you try, most women have moments like this that feel like we are feeding into unfortunate stereotypes. But you know what? That's okay! We're not hurting anyone, and anyway, sometimes it's fun to be basic.
If you were in the mood to feel exceptionally bad about yourself today, then just scroll through these parody Twitter memes which point out the fact that many famous people were exceptionally young when they created brilliant works of art. Well, at least we can all come together over feeling worthless now, right? That's gotta be worth something.
Another day, another hot take from The New York Times.Just a little over a week after their controversial review of beloved steakhouse Peter Luger, the newspaper is back with a spicy take on Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and her place at Paris' Louvre museum. Times art critic Jason Farago scathingly refers to the Mona Lisa as "the Kim Kardashian of 16th-century Italian portraiture."
Behind the spicy title and harsh wording, Farago actually makes a very reasonable point. He's not suggesting ridding the museum of the Louvre, but posing suggestions for how to make the viewing experience less torturous. According to a poll of British tourists, visiting the painting was ranked as the world's most disappointing attraction. So it's safe to say a lot of people are with Farago. Folks on Twitter, for the most part, relished the controversial opinion piece, making jokes. Some seemed less giddy and, yet, repeated Farago's sentiment in their tweets. Whatever your opinion on the placement of the da Vinci masterpiece, hopefully we can agree that humanity would benefit from reading full articles before shouting their opinions into the internet's ether.
This dank meme, known as "Unfinished Horse Drawing" is being used to convey either dissatisfaction with something (looking at you, Game of Thrones season 8), or the act of half-assing something. Either way, we're glad it's making the rounds on the internet!
Instead of going to a boring museum or reading a tedious textbook in your art history class, suggest to your teacher that you review some of these classical art memes instead. Will they help you actually learn about art history? Probably not, but they are funny and relatable, so what's the harm in that?
Adam Ellis has been churning out cute and relatable comics for years, but it's only since he decided to leave his steady gig at Buzzfeed that his work has started to get...interesting. It would seem that Ellis has a much weirder - and much darker - sense of humor than we originally thought. We've put together some comics that reflect this new edge, and we can't wait for more.
Remember the good old days? When we weren't glued to our smartphones, Instagramming every meal, or checking in wherever we went? Frankly, neither do we. But people swear that such a time existed. This meme pokes fun at all the near-luddites that are won't shut up about times without technology. We gotta hand it to these people, these takes (which incorporate both art and pop culture) are pretty damn good.
