cancer

The other day I was googling some lower back pain that can probably be attributed to years of hunching over computers. A helpful WebMD headline popped up and next thing I knew I was diagnosing myself with lung cancer. This is nothing new. WebMD has been torturing hypochondriacs since before the internet was used to locate hot singles that want to meet you. And poor souls like me have been complaining about it since then. Recently, Twitter's seen an uptick in disgruntled WebMD-ers letting it all out. It's good to see we're not alone in our certain deaths. 

There's nothing more we love than the pure cringe of neckbeard content. Now, thanks to one enterprising content creator, we can blindly relate to these tough guys using the questionable science of astrology! It's hard to pick a favorite astrological sign, but remember to use your rising and moon signs to make sure you get a more complete idea of what you'd be like if you'd only studied the blade. 

For more astrology memes, check out some of our lists here and here. 

Are you the sort of person who asks a crush if you can read their natal chart, or someone who calls up your parents once a month asking them to remind you what time you were born because although you don't really give a damn about astrology, your Tinder date is asking and they're really cute? Whether you're a very serious aspiring astrologer or a casual dabbler who finds the zodiac mildly amusing, you might get a kick out of these sassy memes about the signs, elements, and celestial bodies that supposedly influence our behavior. 

Ever see a product or a sign and wonder how it got approved? We do, constantly. And apparently so do a lot of people on Reddit. Crappy Design and Design Fails are two subreddits that are chock full of hideous, offensive, and awkward designs that range from print to architecture. They might make you cringe, but at least you'll feel something.

Redditor u/bookc420 has been going through a lot. So much that he approached the notoriously savage r/roastme subreddit  and they could barely insult him. Why? Well, here was his request:  "Fighting a rare stage four cancer called leomyosarcoma. Make me feel worse."

Leiomyosarcoma is a rare and aggressive cancer, and at stage IV, it's rarely curable. The creatively rude members of r/roastme seemed to soften at this post, offering up some roasts (usually punctuated with well-wishes) but mostly offering support and love during this unimaginably trying time. The thread went from dark to wholesome pretty quickly, and left us with a little more hope for humanity. We've put together some of our favorite responses, but you can take in more of this warmth over at the thread.

We spend a lot of time covering cringey people who make us believe there's very little hope for the human race, but every now and then we see people who make us believe the opposite. Redditor u/MrElonMusk420shared some photos yesterday of his beloved grandfather's leatherman tool with the intention of selling it to help pay for his sick mother's medical costs.

The community quickly decided they weren't going to let the big-hearted student sell the family heirloom, and instead started flooding his PayPal account with donations. He received so many kind gifts that eventually he removed his PayPal from the thread. It's wholesome moments like this that make us happy that the internet exists, and that there really are some solid people using it.

Not everyone believes in astrology, but the people who do are very lucky these days. Astrology memes have become incredibly popular on Instagram over the last couple years, and there seems to be a page for every single zodiac sign. And our timeline is full of them. The sheer volume of astro-memes can be a bit overwhelming, so we've put together some of the latest and greatest zodiac memes for you astrology freaks. Because we love y'all. 

Calling all astrology meme nerds! Memer @spicygeminimemes found a way to combine the zodiac signs with our new favorite Spongebob meme - and the results are scarily and entertainingly accurate. If you're into what this spicy astro-meme girl is putting out, give her a quick follow on Instagram. We think she deserves the love.

We all know about Rule 34 - that if it exists, there's a porno of it. But there's got to be some kind of rule about zodiac sign content. We've seen the zodiac signs as cringey neckbeard badasses, and even the signs as Fast and Furious characters. So it's absolutely unsurprising that some nerd went and made a Rick and Morty astrology guide. We'll let this work of demented genius speak for itself.

Let's be honest here, regardless of how you feel about the American healthcare system, we can probably all agree that it doesn't exactly have the best reputation with the rest of the world. This woman's Twitter story about her experience with Iceland's healthcare system illustrates that perfectly.

It's Monday, so most of us are probably feeling some kind of malaise or dissatisfaction. These pics and memes have been carefully curated to make you feel like someone's been cutting onions - and to remind you that life ain't always a huge bummer. 

Some people are just completely socially inept when it comes to treating others with a minimal amount of decency. This woman, appropriately named "Karen," tried to demand an absurdly cheap housecleaning rate for her huge house from the parent of a cancer patient. And they say that Millennials are the entitled generation...

Sit back and enjoy this rage-inducing text story. 

Astrology memes are completely taking over the Instagram meme scene, and it's not hard to see why. The memes are pretty much relatable to everyone - even the skeptics. This particular set from @crabcomplex roasts our fears with the classic crying girl/dolphin pic that's been all over the internet. 

The world, and especially the meme community, is mourning after news of Stefán Karl Stefánsson losing his 2 year battle with cancer. The Icelandic star of the Nick Jr show LazyTown has long been hailed as a hero of the meme community. His character, the scheming "villain" Robbie Rotten, has been the subject of viral memes for over four years. 

Stefánsson's battle with bile duct cancer inspired a heartwarming effort within the oft-irreverent r/dankmemes community. The subreddit played a huge part in raising money for the actor via what became a wildly successful GoFundMe campaign. Along with raising money, the subreddit dedicated many uncharacteristically wholesome memes in the actor's name, a movement the community has revisited upon the news of Stefánsson's death. 

Stefán was very aware of his internet fame. He filmed a "thank you" video for all his supporters and took part in a Reddit AMA to engage with his devotees. The star disappeared from social media in March - and his last tweet is somewhat of a tearjerker. 

We're sending lots of love to his friends and family, and have included some of the wholesome memes r/dankmemes has been posting in his memory. The subreddit has dedicated 24 hours to Stefán Karl Stefánsson, so head over to the page for more tears and love. He'll always be #1 in our eyes.
