We all spend a fair amount of time scrolling our lives away on the Internet, and sometimes it feels as though it's for naught. But if the internet's good for anything, it's seeing strangers get roasted and toasted in public forums, whether it's in a Twitter thread or the comments on any given subreddit. You'll never catch us being okay with cyberbullying— being cruel or threatening folks online is never okay, and that's not what this here compilation is about. This is all about appreciating the…

A good insult is hard to come by. As schoolchildren, we start with the basics. There's the powerful “No, you!” which is followed by the even more powerful and incredibly smug “I know you are but what am I?” We remember the early days of “Your mom” jokes (which are extra devastating if the mother in question is dead) and “stupid jokes" like the one that insinuates it takes an hour for the victim to cook minute rice. These are all well and good if you've yet to go through puberty, but as we get o…

2 + 2 = jerk

Greetings, friends. Anyone else struggling a little more than usual with their internet addiction? I may have some theories as to why. You see, at least here in the Northern hemisphere, things are getting a wee bit chilly. They're also getting a whole lot darker. Two days ago I was walking home at just past seven, and while it was overcast, I was shocked at just how little light was available. It was a bit alarming, especially as someone who has to work in an office all throughout winter. Gone…

Writer Bijan Stephen went viral yesterday after asking Twitter users to share some dumb ideas they think would actually make the world a better place. The response was impressive. Most suggestions, like forcing people to work in the service industry, are actually quite intelligent and valid. Those that aren't still veer towards clever and hilarious. We've put together our favorites and hope the thread keeps moving. Lord knows this world needs improvement.

If you've spent any time on Twitter (or the ‘bird app' as we like to call it) then you know that not all tweets are created equal. Most of the material that people see fit to catapult into the Twitter abyss is either cringe worthy , offensive, or and maybe even both. There's also a wealth of tweets that are so basic they actually make us angry. You know what we're talking about. Those tweets that go viral on the site have either already been tweeted a zillion times or offer up banal sentiments…

Being able to express oneself in writing is no small feat. Some people write in a dry manner, only caring to get a point across, no fuss or flourish necessary. Others are more poetic, sprinkling descriptive words into their work to paint a more attractive picture (or, of course, to show off). But the witty writers we appreciate the most are quick, cunning, and ballsy enough to destroy people in 100 words or less. These insults and comebacks (which hail mostly from Twitter) come from people just…

Wingardium leviosa!

Props to these amateur con artists

Poets of the internet serving spicy roasts

They can't be contained

Don't underestimate the power of a dad and a little creativity!

They're unforgivable

These dubious points are actually kinda valid

Pretty damn accurate.

Bravo.
