The highly anticipated cyberpunk cat game has launched and—surprise, surprise—the internet is obsessed. It's only been a week since the release of Stray and fans are already memeing and modding the game like crazy. While most normal people are using mods to make their character look more like their own IRL cat, the deviants and trolls of gaming are creating some pretty cursed mods, including one that allows you to play the game as a hideously cat-shaped CJ from GTA: San Andreas, and another tha…

Sometimes it's just better to lie

What is a meme , really? Memes used to be a particular series of image macros that took over internet culture during the 2000s. These days, however, a meme is a much broader way of categorizing online content. Does a meme have to be made up of pictures and text? Must it be something that can be replicated in different forms, like how Bad Luck Brian was a consistent image with different white text every time? Does a meme belong to everyone or the person who created it? Is there any ethical way t…

Some of these make a little too much sense

If loving my wife is a crime, officer, lock me up! That is the boomer dad version of the newest Twitter meme . It features the caption “me if [banal thing] was illegal” typically accompanied by a picture of Spongebob being handcuffed by the coppers, his face in agony. This meme format is fun because it's just so easy! I have a long list of everyday things that I could not stop doing, even if they were illegal! They include the following… Me if drinking at least four servings of Diet Coke per da…

Ulterior motives aren't always bad. Sometimes they're pretty benevolent. Especially when we're talking about dating. While it may seem innocent (or even boring), texting something as simple as “Hey”

For many people, cartoons have been an important part of life. I was absolutely forbidden from watching them on our crappy 80's television, but that didn't stop me from sneaking downstairs at five in the morning to watch Sailor Moon at a very, very low volume. Instead of watching that magical anime series, my parents graciously allowed us to watch a whole lot of very antiquated Disney VHS tapes. These old Disney cartoons (some of them featuring mainstays such as Donald Duck and Goofy) relied on…

Dumb people who claim authority over everything

In rare instances, age gap discourse can be funny.

It has recently come to my attention (difficult, ADHD ) that some of you actually read the dumb blurbs we compose for our random galleries. As surprised and slightly appalled as I am, I'm mostly honored, and kind of pleased. I now know that maybe we're not just shouting into the wind every day. This knowledge certainly opens up some opportunities. While it's true that every day can feel the same when we're grinding away to put out that sweet, sweet time-wasting material, it's good to know that…

To the moon

Parents: Who needs them? Who's got them? Who can't live without them? The answer to all of those questions is…everybody. Sure, not everyone has a relationship with their biological parents , but two people had to do an act of collaboration for you to be alive. Even if you are the product of IVF or were a tube baby, you were created by two people who may or may not have the parent title. The most critical parents aren't the people who made you with their bodies, but the people who raised you. Th…

The agony of being the third wheel is a well-documented one. I actually consider myself to be a professional third wheel. A professional tricycle modification, if you will. If I want to hang out, I'm going to hang out - relationships be damned. Not everyone has such an agreeable position regarding hanging out with people who are involved. And I get it. There's the PDA, the inside jokes, the baby talk. It can all get pretty unnerving. But trust me when I say that it could be much, much worse. Tw…

If there's one dumb thing in the world that people love to get heated over, it's food. Most people (unless they're sociopaths who'd rather take a pill than eat) have intense opinions about that stuff we need to eat to survive. The opinions can be as normal as “X is the best place to dine on X,” or as freakish as the Swedish belief that bananas should be on pizza. And no, we're not making that one up. As anyone on the internet can attest, people who like pineapple on pizza get ragged on regularl…

More people should be investing in filters.

Line cooks seem to be the talk of the town lately. Memes about the surly yet sweet restaurant workers seem to be on the rise, and all of them are super favorable. The gritty and comedic glimpse into kitchen life we've been seeing on The Bear seems to be bolstering the trend. At least that's what it seems like based on the response to a viral tweet about the 8 episode series.
