If you think you're bored, you better be grateful you weren't born before the internet was invented. Back in those dreary pre-meme days, kids had to walk up to twenty miles just to read a joke in the “joke” section in the back of the local paper. And the joke was never even good. Before the internet, people were forced to awkwardly stare at each other on public transportation and sometimes even make friendly conversation. That's right, it was normal to make small talk with random strangers. Bef…

These first world anarchists do not give a flying frick

These rebels are out of their damn minds

The mind is a trickster, often making us feel like something is not quite as it seems through easily deceived eyes. Optical illusions are all around us. We just don't really notice them unless they're frozen in time by a photograph. Because a picture is flat, it's easy for our brains to perceive them differently than they really are. That's why you should never trust images. But once you come to terms with the fact that every image is a lie, then you can start to really enjoy them. We've got a…

It's easy to feel a bit jaded by this world. Especially considering that with the advent of the Internet came the eventual ability to be able to answer any question we're stumped by, see anything we're curious about, and write down any/every stupid thought we have. Being able to know anything - and almost anything - kind of takes a lot of mystery and magic away from day-to-day life. Instead of sitting on this Amtrak train, admiring the lush environs of the Hudson Valley, I'm getting work done.…

Woah there

There are some people in this world who make you really feel good about your own intellectual capabilities. In other words, their stupidity is astounding. Unfortunately for these people, that stupidity was displayed on national television for everyone to witness. If these people are an indication of average intelligence, then we fear for the state of humanity. Yikes. Guess you don't have to be smart to get onto a game show, after all.

Reviews that are funnier than they are helpful

Mad lads don't give a flying frick about society's rules. A true mad lad marches to the beat of their own drum. A mad lad looks for prohibition signs just so they can disobey them. A mad lad rarely complies, and when they do, they comply maliciously. We've collected a bunch of entertaining examples of mad lads who can't be reigned in.

There are few games out there with the memetic shitposting power of gems like Ace Attorney . And if you're blindly jumping into this, wondering what the hell an “Ace Attorney” is, then you're probably not going to find this post very funny. But I'll lay down a bit of context anyway. Ace Attorney is a video game series first developed by Capcom in 2001. In the first game, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, the player must investigate legal cases and defend clients in court while assuming the roles of…

Memes to cure bad bouts of boredom

Companies that aren't afraid to stoop real low

I tell you hwhat, King of the Hill memes will never get old. There's something extra funny about a meme featuring Hank Hill, perhaps because a real-life Hank Hill would have no idea what the hell a meme is. He'd be one of those technologically challenged dads who confuses text messaging with Google search. Even though the iconic animated sitcom ended over a decade ago, King of the Hill is the gift that keeps on giving in the meme world. Keep scrolling for a bunch of weird King of the Hill memes…

We've established that kids are dumb. It may sound mean, but it's true. It's not their fault, though. Their brains are underdeveloped. Wish we had that excuse. All things considered, it's entertaining as hell when kids are dumb. But that acceptable (and sometimes encouraged) dumbness has some competition in that department. Because kids are also weird. They do stuff that might actually be smart but weirds us the hell out. There's also the venn diagram overlap of dumb and weird, like the kid bel…

Just like humans, cats can take some very awkward pictures when they're not posing for the camera. @whoahannahjo asked Twitter to post the “most F-ed up” pictures of their cats, and the resulting thread is just too good not to share. We've rounded up some of our favorite weird, cursed, and clumsy kitties for all the cat-lovers out there.

Fan accounts on Twitter are insufferably cringe about 99% of the time, but once in a while they drop some absolute gold. Ewan McGregor fan page @ewansobi really delivered with their recent thread of beautiful early 2000s desktop backgrounds featuring the ever-dashing Obi-Wan Kenobi . We've collected our favorite pictures from the thread (that we may or may not be using to decorate our own desktop backgrounds).
