TikTok from the outside appears to be a pretty insular online community with a chaotic method of delivering content that is daunting to inexperienced users. Because of this, many stay on the outside and make up their minds about the app, but we'd argue that these people might be missing out on one of the most interesting parts of TikTok—the comments. This shouldn't be a big surprise, since we all know you can always find gold in the YouTube comments, for example. The comments are also an interesting insight into what's going on in the minds of Gen Z—though all ages use the app, almost half of the users are under the age of 24. 

Since June, Twitter account @commentsooc has been doing a great job documenting some of the best of TikTok's comments. If you're interested in taking a look into this world but are too scared of the app, you've come the the right place.

These days it feels like everyone has ADHD. It's almost impossible to enjoy a television show or movie without instinctively scrolling through your phone for no reason. It's no wonder that stuff like memes and tweets are appealing to internet lovers - if they haven't actually created these rampant low attention spans. The only problem with Twitter is that it's a cesspool of bad takes from bad people. It's hard to weed through the garbage to enjoy astute observations and clever comedy. To help you avoid that arduous process, we've put together a nice batch of mostly-fresh tweets and wrapped 'em up in this convenient gallery. Enjoy the good stuff without the bad. 

Happy Friday, y'all! We've finally made it to the end of the week, and to celebrate we're bringing you another fresh edition of the weekly Dank Drop. If you're new here, this is a carefully curated receptacle of the week's dankest (and often dumbest) memes from the poisoned minds of r/dankmemes. Sit back, relax, and bid those brain cells, adieu. It's meme time.

TGIF, y'all! We are back with another healthy serving of the week's best dank memes, carefully plucked from the hallowed halls of Reddit. These memes range from spicy to dumb and relatable, but they're all pretty amusing. And we promise this batch isn't filled with mentions of politics. If memes can't distract us from this hell, we don't know what can.

Seventeen-year-old Billie Eilish, arguably the voice of Generation Z, has positively exploded onto the pop music scene over the last year with hits like Bad Guy and Bury a Friend. Her fanbase has proved itself to be somewhat on the edgy side, and by "edgy" we mean along the lines of "I'm 14 and this is deep."

We just want to clarify that we have nothing against Billie Eilish or her music at all - we're mainly here to poke some fun at her overly dramatic fans and her amusingly baggy wardrobe.

Fun fact: her middle name is Pirate.

Millennials and Baby Boomers have been engaging in humorous back-and-forth banter for quite some time now, but we're beginning to think that these "OK Boomer" memes mark the start of a full-on war between the generations. We're not saying that we think bullying is okay, however, there's only so much climate-change denial and sh*t-talking about avocado toast that a person is willing to take. 

And perhaps the Millennials have reached their limit.

Generation Z, AKA those born between approximately 2000 and 2020, is known for their usage of the word "yeet" and their tendency to eat Tide Pods. We old Millennials might not fully understand you, but we respect you, and that's all that matters.
