Whatever that is

It sort of feels like the Adam Levine texts came out last month. The drama, on Twitter and off of it, was intense. It was all anyone would talk about in the office. As an Adam Levine and Maroon 5 hater, there was something satisfying about watching him get exposed as an unfaithful creep. But more than that, I was satisfied by the overwhelming wealth of memes the texts inspired. Everywhere I looked it seemed a new one had popped up, most of them having to do with that f-bomb direct message. My f…

If you think about it, paintings were the original memes . Past painters made realistic depictions of people with all sorts of intentions in mind. Portraits, depictions of rural life, images from literature: whatever they meant to people in the 1800s doesn't matter that much. Now, they are prime fodder for memes. The expressions made by people in paintings are objectively funny. Their exaggerated or intentionally demure vibes make them the perfect subject for relatable memes. Even though I'm no…

If parallel universes exist, then, logically speaking, that probably means there is an alternate reality where memes don't exist. A universe where everything is just varying shades of grey (like new fast food chains), and food tastes like nothing. In this bleak reality, humans look bizarrely ageless because there is a severe lack of sunshine and vitamin D, and nobody ever laughs. In this awful universe, the only form of entertainment that exists is a single channel on a gigantic, antiquated tel…

Out of the blue

I really hoped it wouldn't come to this. After months of refusing to take a stance, and weeks of watching, I have to say that I have a bone to pick with The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. My expectations were never particularly high, but I was initially enraptured by the show. Amazon did way better than I thought they would. It soon became clear that the beauty of the series trumps the writing. I may have been able to overlook it at first, but the writing is straight-up bad. It's rife w…

I admire green thumbs. Truly, I do. There's something about most people who are good with plants that just makes them seem more mature, more put together. Like they could maybe handle raising a family, or changing a tire. Then there are my friends who are good with plants. While their apartments may seem pristine, and their grow lights state of the art, some of them can barely afford or use their brain cells to feed themselves. They exist on Clif bars and ramen, while pouring their hard-earned…

Remember when you first heard Billy Corgan sing "The world is a vampire?" Or are you Gen Z? Either way, the Smashing Pumpkins were right when they penned the tune back in the mid-'90s. It's really quite mind-boggling how little some things have changed since the advent of the grunge era. We are still feeling doomy as hell, hating the government, and feeling frustrated by the lack of opportunities presented to us and the rest of the non-billionaire class. If any music could capture our dissatisf…

Some memes do not age well. Like an abandoned loaf of bread in the pantry, you can read their age in one foul sniff. They smell like 2012 and whatever sick place you were in life during the year of Call Me Maybe and twee. Many current memes read like a real who's who of modern online discourse. If you show these memes to people who have never been on Twitter, they be completely incomprehensible to them. The ideal meme does not fall into either one of those camps. Sure, sometimes you want to go…

It's been a long day, and you've done so much. You've accomplished what many people have failed at: continuing to be alive. Whether you spent that day ignoring your chores and watching Frasier reruns or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for the second time, you deserve a nice long sleep. Whether the night is young or elderly, you can get some shut-eye . But not just yet. After all, you need to accomplish at least one last thing before you go to bed. Why not consume a story? Consuming a story might ver…

Alright, y'all. You can stop what you're doing and rejoice because even though it's not Tuesday, we've got a big bunch of Lord of the Rings memes that we wanna share with you. As much as we love sharing the freshest Tolkien-related memes possible (on a weekly basis), sometimes it's nice to enjoy some old and gold classics like the memes in this gallery. While we're definitely enjoying Lord of the RIngs: The Rings of Power, it's also refreshing to scroll through memes that are free of both spoil…

Good evening, or morning, internet users, abusers and even lamenters. It is not a big secret that life is a largely torturous experience, and that our blip of an existence is completely futile. That said, most of us can't help but crave the chance to do what we want with that fleeting amount of time. If we are being totally honest, the whole hustling and grinding things isn't particularly high on that list of chosen activities. So when the workweek is at our backs, or just starting (we hate you…
