I don't know if any social media will ever die yet live on so positively in people's memories as Vine has. The iconic quotes from Vine (I don't even have to list them for you to know them) have stayed within the internet cultural consciousness for years since the social media platform's untimely death seems to be emblematic of an internet culture lost to time. As much as I tolerate TikTok , I don't know if that app's trends will age as well as the late Vines. I'm nostalgic for the 2019 TikTok t…

'Happy New Years' is just on the tip of our tongue at this point.

Some ridiculous diagnoses

It keeps getting worse

One of the greatest movies of the 20th century is about a man who magically turns into a dog. I'm not talking about The Shaggy Dog or its remake starring Tim Allen. No, I'm referring to the greatest hidden gem Disney+ has to offer, The Shaggy D.A. As the title so cleverly suggests, it is a movie about a man who is running for District Attorney and can't stop turning into a big white fluffy dog . The best part of this movie is its action sequences. If you haven't seen the viral clip where a man…

What are they like?

'I'll let you know' means I'm not coming

A tweet from @NYCParks went viral last week after the account reassured concerned citizens that the sight of squirrels “splooting” around public parks shouldn't be cause for alarm. @NYCParks explained, “On hot days, squirrels keep cool by splooting (stretching out) on cool surfaces to reduce body heat.” Included with the important public service announcement was a picture of a little squirrel sprawled out under the shade of a tree. It turns out squirrels aren't the only splooters in the animal…

Oh they work hard for their bacon

Heart eyes

We can't really tell you what it means when an animal goes “ goblin mode .” You kind of just know. It can be anything from a subtle devious look, to a full-on explosion of ravenous chaos. Often, watching animals lose their sh-t can feel pretty relatable—sometimes you just need to let loose without giving a single heck. There's a Twitter account, @mischiefanimals , that does a wonderful job chronicling all the wild instances of animals going bonkers, and we've collected some of our favorite rece…

Post-workout nap time

Bark Bark. Meow Meow. These are the classic sounds of the dog and the cat we all know and love. They are the most common pets for a reason, and that reason is that they are so rad. A dog will bark when they hear you coming out of the bathroom. A cat can stretch out to over three feet. These are iconic animals that I can't help but love with all of my heart. I understand why certain people do not want dogs or cats as pets. They is much more responsibility required for a feline or a canine than a…

Did you know that gossip columnist Perez Hilton originally coined the term "amazeballs"? I find this news to be devastating, as I could have never guessed that such a swag slang term would've come from the mind of one of society's most nefarious journalists. In hindsight, it's horrifying that we just sat back and let him say everything he said about Britney Spears . Granted, most of us were mere children when it occurred, but we still should have done something about it. Since his now long pass…

Nobody's safe anymore, they're out in the wild and they're coming to get us.

It's been years since I had a dog of my own. Taking care of the energetic beasts isn't an easy feat, and it doesn't exactly suit the urban lifestyle - especially in New York City where we pay exorbitant rents for shoebox-sized apartments. While I happily accept my new cat-person identity, I enthusiastically enjoy dogs vicariously. This means cooing over photos of my friends' dogs, or spending time cuddling with my parents' adorable (and huge) canine companions. No disrespect to my cats, but the…
