If you've spent any time on Twitter over the past couple of years, you're probably aware that the site's definition of “friendship” is kinda flawed.

Ooh, I'm scared

The opposite of amazeballs

Eek

If you're trying too hard while making a meme, you're probably doing it wrong. There's nothing more cringeworthy than trying to say something profound with an overused meme format. That's when you start to sound like an over-eager politician or a clueless brand that wants to sound hip and young. Memes don't have to be smart or say something deep to be successful, and if you're depending on memes to sound intelligent, you're definitely missing the mark. The memes of r/bonehurtingjuice reject ove…

A terrible time

Modern romance sucks

Feeling bad

It's true that everyone needs to eat to survive. But, as many have noted before us, there are people who eat to live, and then there are the people who live to eat. People like me. In recent years it seems as though a third kind of person has popped up: someone who eats - or cooks - to watch the world burn. You see, these sorts of people are the ones making cringey food , well, a thing. Before the age of TikTok or Reddit, crimes against food were largely private. Now they're everywhere, being m…

Parents embarrass their kids all the time. It's a natural part of the parent-child relationship , and it's often completely unavoidable. Once a child becomes a tween, they can't stand to be seen with their parents in public. Tweens want their parents to drop them off at the mall far out of the view of any other tweens because having a mom is apparently extremely embarrassing. Tweens and teens don't want their parents to take pictures of them, be seen in public with them, or generally be around…

Can't stop, won't stop

In a not-so-shocking development, Elon Musk has made his newest attempt at being liked by literally anyone. This time he’s gone full-on conservative pundit mode, desperately vying for the approval of the right. The king of second-hand embarrassment himself tweeted a number of anti-trans tweets today. Perfect timing when you consider his imminent two-part interview with conservative outrage superstar Tucker Carlson. This is just another step in Musk’s journey of being an unlikable failure. Earli…

It's rough out there, y'all. And by “out there” I mean the online dating landscape . It's funny that as meeting new people has become easier (with the help of apps like Tinder and Hinge ), it's also gotten harder. While in the old days of Okcupid I was able to message a normal guy, and then meet him for a fun date, nowadays it seems like there are just four trajectories: Option 1) Play pen pals for a couple of weeks and then get unmatched for some unknown reason. Option 2) Meet up for a casual…

Food is a powerful thing. It nourishes us, brings us together as family and friends, and sometimes even inspires us. Food is often treated as art, and chefs are treated like artists. Food also has the power to make us happy , whether it's a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich while hungover, or a big spoonful of ice cream when you've had an especially oppressive day. Lately, however, we've been marveling at the way food can also make us angry. In fact, it can make us straight-up furious. It's true…

Twitter used to be better. At least, that’s what my nostalgia-pilled brain is telling myself when I complain about the infamous bird app. When I was a kid, Twitter felt a lot less focused on mind-numbing discourse and more about retweeting the Anti-Joke Apple every 5 minutes. Now, you feel inundated with hot takes and the most absurd opinions ever concocted by the human mind every time you log on. It’s truly exhausting. One of the most interesting things about Twitter is that it hasn’t drastica…

There is an epidemic sweeping our nation right now. It's hard for me to articulate this without getting emotional, but the store Target is selling shirts for toddlers with rainbows on them. This is a national emergency and needs to be addressed by the leaders of this great nation sooner rather than later. I'm making a jokey joke here, but there are a lot of people out there who think boys wearing shirts with rainbows is the end of the world. I remember when I was a kid, people tried to decrease…
