Who knows how we did it, but once again we find ourselves just past the beginning of a brand new week. The days and dates might be arbitrary markers, but the whole annoying situation of being alive certainly is not. It is very important to find ways to make everything more bearable, and that is where the beautiful business of memes comes in. Few things brighten the endless slog of existence like a super sized serving of extra dumb humor , so why not take a scroll through this latest offering? I…

It's that time of the week again: time to curl up with some parenting tweets to commiserate about the absurd nature of caring for a little human. It's wild how long it takes for a human baby to become a human adult. There are species of bugs, birds, flora, and fauna that are only considered young for months or days. But humans are incredibly high maintenance and require the utmost upkeep. I suppose it's good that humans aren't like fish, abandoned by their families immediately following birth b…

When Twitter user @canceric found himself accepted by a Flat Earth Facebook page, he couldn't resist having fun with its members. The PUBG player decided to take a screenshot while playing the game and posted it to the group as though it were a photo of the Black Sea. He specifically notes the lack of curvature and the Flat Earthers took the bait from there.

Further investigation needed

“Sugar cereals,” as many families refer to them, have always been nutritionally dubious. The intensely sugary bits of Technicolor grains are often criticized as an irresponsible choice for kids' breakfasts. Their colors and marketing, especially their cartoon mascots, are geared at making kids clamor for them in the cereal aisle. While the backlash against dessert-like products such Fruity Pebbles is pretty ubiquitous, Twitter user @OctopusCaveman made a surprising and creepy discovery involvin…

Cheez-Its are my kryptonite. I can make those slightly greasy, salty squares of cheesy goodness disappear in mere minutes. And when I say “those” I mean a whole damn box. Usually when this mindless yet voracious eating occurs, I am under the influence of plant medicine that was recently legalized in New York. And I usually come to regret it. When I'm not regretting ingesting a box's worth of these crackers, I am usually regretting ordering a crap ton of Taco Bell. Like, $20 worth of Taco Bell.…

It's a sick sad world we live in. And no, we're not talking about the recent Supreme Court ruling. We're talking about the excessive hornyposting of ' Brand Twitter .' The latest culprit is the Nutter Butter Twitter account , which brazenly tweeted “N is for the way you nut at me” yesterday afternoon.

The PR pros tasked with promoting Barbie have been hard at work, and it seems like that work is paying off. New photos from the set of Greta Gerwig's upcoming film were released this morning, and they are, how you say, colorful. People may have been fawning over the first photos of Ryan Gosling as Barbie's beau, Ken, but this matching neon getup has blown them out of the water. Or, at the very least, rollerbladed over their dead body while giggling in the sunshine.

No, no...they've got a point

Memes to cure bad bouts of boredom

In a famous story from Douglas Adams' book So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish , the protagonist Arthur recounts a time he sat down at a table to enjoy a coffee, newspaper, and packet of biscuits he'd recently purchased at a shop. To his horror, a man sitting across from him grabbed the packet of biscuits, tore it open, and started eating them. Instead of saying anything, Arthur passive-aggressively reached into the packet and took what was rightfully his, hoping the man would get the message.…

This kind of BS is so toxic.

Internet memes are the one part of the cultural zeitgeist that no one will ever be able to successfully make a fictional movie about. No matter how much they try, it will never work, kind of like how a New York Times think-piece about a viral meme will always feel ridiculous and awkward. It's like trying to explain why a joke is funny—you just end up butchering the punchline and looking like a dumbass. Just let memes be. Don't write anything profound or pretentious about memes. Don't talk about…

It's interesting how certain things make an impact on your brain and others don't. As a person who is forced, gun to my head, chained to desk, to scroll through Twitter all day, it's fascinating to think of all the short shared sentiments I've seen that just disappeared into the ether of my poisoned brain. But like my therapist says, it's better to focus on being grateful for the things you do have, rather than lamenting the loss of whatever you've lost or forgotten. So today we're here to talk…

If parallel universes exist, then logically that means there's an alternate reality where memes don't exist, and everything is just varying shades of grey, and food tastes like ash. People look peculiarly ageless because there's no sunshine and no one ever laughs. In this grotesque alternate reality, the only form of entertainment that exists is a single channel on television, which only plays static, but people watch it anyway because there's nothing else to do. Why am I painting such a depres…

Every now and then Twitter gets on a tip that results in scads of viral tweets. This month we've seen a ton of backlash against Airbnb , but we've also seen people discussing all the scams that have become so normalized we barely even notice them. A couple accounts have addressed this.
