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…

Facebook is a unique place. It's used by about 3 billion people globally, and yet the most frequent sentiment I hear is “Crazy that people are still on Facebook.” It's ridiculed in my circles, dismissed as a place where boomers go to fight about politics, humble (or not-so-humble) brag and ask their peers about mystery skin diseases. Sometimes the wildest posts aren't even meant to be posts at all: they're adorable gaffes from senior citizens who simpley don't know how to

Gross

Did you know that there are two different kinds of cringe: compassionate cringe and contemptuous cringe? Compassionate cringe is about laughing with somebody about a relatable embarrassing experience. Compassionate cringe might occur when you tell your friends about the time you asked out your crush in middle school or when you fell off your scooter and accidentally got a scab that looked like a Hitler mustache for two weeks. Everyone relates to cringe like this, but compassionate cringe is not…

Can't look away

Modern dating has become a complex and often daunting experience for many people. As a recently single person, I can 100% agree. See, in today's society, people are expected to meet new individuals in a fast-paced, highly technological environment. With the rise of dating apps and social media, finding someone to date has become easier yet somehow more challenging. Instead of focusing on the fun parts of meeting new people and discovering new things, we're drowning in options, engaging in surfa…

Not a conspiracy diaper!

Ah, “neckbeards.” What's in a name? While the term, at its most literal, refers to dudes whose facial hair seems to gravitate toward the neck and chin, the meaning has shifted over the years. Nowadays, “neckbeard” refers to unsavory dudes you might come across on the internet who are really into stuff like gaming, anime, and comic books. Those interests are all well and good (we love a good comic book or game sesh), but, unfortunately, a lot of neckbeards are also huge misogynists. They tend to…

What a place

When will people stop

Hell is other people

Are these people for real?

There's no denying it. Social media has changed the way people view (and consume) food. Gone are the days when food was just a necessary part of life, something we ate to survive. These days, food has become a trendy affair, with people constantly seeking out the latest and greatest food trends to share on their Instagram pages. This obsession with food has come spawned some truly cringey and unnecessary food creations , posts, and videos. From bizarre and offensive food combinations to questio…

The New York City subway may seem like a luxurious convenience to residents of cities with a lack of public transportation, but the convenience is nearly outweighed by the unpleasantries that come with it. There are constant signal malfunctions and delays that make a person perpetually late to their destination. Then there are the rats that seem to run the tunnels and the strange rivers of dirty water that seem to be perpetually flowing down the G line. I'd be remiss not to mention the scent of…
