It's nice to participate in the simple pleasures in life once and a while. Sure, these things might not be expensive or high class or highly memorable, but they add a little extra something to your day to make it stand out. So often, our days feel like they're running together, one day looking practically identical to the rest. When you're living for the weekend, making the week feel like it counts as a part of your actual life can be challenging. Incorporating little unique things into each da…

One of the best things about memes is they aren't going anywhere anytime soon. It doesn't seem like memes are in danger of extinction, but you never know. As a kid, I was anxious about the entire internet deleting itself in a burning of the Library of Alexandria-esque crisis. This dilemma kept me up at night; If the internet got deleted, how would I watch the newest episode of Annoying Orange and Charlie the Unicorn? As I've grown older, I've found much more reasonable end-of-the-world scenario…

Unique pet names are such a joy. There's nothing worse than meeting an animal who has the most basic uncreative name you could think of. As a child, I went to the neighbor kids' house, thrilled to find out they had guinea pigs. However, my glee subsided when I found out the horrid truth. They named their white guinea pig Snowball, their brown guinea pig Hershey, and their black and white guinea pig Oreo. That is an abomination. How could you be so uncreative to name a pet the most obvious thing…

Old McDonald had a farm, EIEIO. And on that farm, he had some memes EIEIO. Well, we've got plenty more memes where that came from. Old McDonald may have had an oink-oink here and an oink-oink there, but he did not have an extensive list of side-splitting animal memes. Sure, Old McDonald might've posted some memes (that he printed out) onto the side of the barn, but the only ones who saw them were the cows, the chickens, and the common house cat. Here, we've got memes for all animal fans. Are yo…

At least it was funny

Wikipedia ; the fountain of forbidden knowledge. Is it accurate? Is it all made up? Who cares! Wikipedia was founded in 2001 and has been an essential tool for researchers of the online persuasion ever since. If you grew up in the 2000s, you remember being told by your teachers not to use Wikipedia unless you want to get a big fat F on your paper. That threat put the fear of God into many young Wikipedia users. Although not peer-reviewed in the technical sense, Wikipedia is a very convenient so…

We're at that time of the week again. The bulk of the work week is over, the weekend is just on the horizon, and you're officially over the hump. Whether you're checking out the local honky tonk, sampling some grape and orange soda from an old okie smokey fountain, or going out and buying yourself a diamond-encrusted bolo tie, you never know what the magic of Thursday can bring. You know exactly what Natasha Lyonne meant when she said, "Thursday, what a concept." Do you know what the wonder and…

Your business = your dog's business

Oh no

Disney's One Hundred and One Dalmatians is a pretty iconic movie - and is based on an equally iconic book with nearly same title. But did you know that there was a sequel to the book? One would think that the live-action spinoff would follow the same plot. But it doesn't. And that's because the story is so insane it's impossible to film. Twitter user @SketchesByBoze enlightened the site with these facts in a mind-blowing thread last year - a thread that we only happened upon nearly a year later…

Pets are little bundles of endless entertainment. Twitter user @DustinGrowick recently shared an adorable picture of his cat disguised as a paper towel roll, and the post has inspired hundreds of people to reply with funny images of their own fuzzy masters of disguise. Keep scrolling to see our favorite highlights from the wholesome thread.

Are animals secretly listening to everything we say? Studies have shown that dogs can identify different human emotions through reading the facial expressions of their owners. Some scientists believe that dolphins, whose own spoken language is highly advanced, have the capacity to learn human languages and possibly even speak English. Of course, if a squirrel gives you an offended look after you make fun of him, it's likely just a funny coincidence. But this hilarious thread of animals seemingl…

Woof.

We sure do.

Desperate

Wholesome.
