google search

The r/dankmemes subreddit moves through meme formats so quickly it's hard to keep track of them, but we've managed to stay on top just enough to catch this incredibly amusing meme while it's hot. Memers on the subreddit have taken to comparing search results on Google with those of Bing - and the latter, as usual, is kind of getting abused by netizens. In these dank memes, Google is portrayed as a provider of wholesome and conservative search results, while Bing offers up deranged and highly foolish answers to our wildest questions. While they are pretty simple, the memes don't disappoint. But they might if you follow Bing's advice.

Avengers: Endgame is finally here, and the whole damn internet is either celebrating or dodging spoilers left and right. Today we discovered it's possible to do both. Google Search is playing into Marvel-mania with a very entertaining Thanos easter egg. All you need to do is google the purple villain and then click on the cartoon icon of his powerful gauntlet. What comes next is completely devoid of spoilers and a fun treat for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

We wrote earlier about "things we don't like" memes, and this one is pretty related. For this particular format, memers generally google someone or something they love (very popular within the animemes community) and then the life expectancy. When it's revealed that their favorite character is near-death, we're met with a weeping face. The meme can be used in the opposite way, as is seen with one of the Lil Pump memes, to lament that someone will be living so long. The meme is pretty basic, but some people are having fun with it. 

Sure, you "accidentally" Googled that.

Fyrkantig, Sparsam, Dagstorp, Grundtal. Unless you speak Swedish, these words can only mean one thing: Ikea.

But no more. Ikea, who for years has named their comfortable, affordable, and dorm room-ready furniture by following a pretty strict system, is now in the trolling business, and business is good.

Last night, for reasons unknown, so for now we’ll just assume that they thought it would be funny, Ikea replaced the names of their products with common Google searches. So suddenly a thing like Lattjo becomes “My Family Doesn’t Respect Me” and Memnes becomes “My Friend Only Talks About Himself.”
