Life can be a very demeaning and isolating journey, especially for those of us who struggle with depression and feelings of hopelessness. Sometimes it feels like we're trapped in a never-ending cycle of monotony and pain, and the only reprieve comes from aimlessly scrolling through the internet, searching for something distracting to bring a moment of sweet, sweet relief. As someone who knows what it's like to feel trapped in the darkness of their own mind, I want you to know that you're not al…

Qapla'! nuqneH! As a cha'DIch Star Trek fan who definitely knows how to speak Klingon, I'm pleased to bring you an Enterprise-sized batch of funny memes about the movies and television show. Being a pIn'a' Hurgh of the franchise, I've always been drawn to the unique blend of science fiction, jIH, and qIb Qa' that has made Star Trek a tlhIngan nugh phenomenon for fifty-plus years. One thing that makes Star Trek so vItlhutlh is its ability to tackle important issues in a way that is both yIjatlh…

What's next? Chet?!

We're living in a time when convenience seems to be absolutely everything. Instead of enjoying a leisurely walk to the farmer's market and soaking up the sights and sounds of the neighborhood, people choose apps that send someone else to do their shopping. It's never been easier (or more expensive) to eat locally. Instead of spending your hard-earned money at local boutiques, bookstores, and thrift shops for that special gift or new clothes, many of us rely on Amazon, Etsy, or even eBay. When w…

Happy Monday, fools. Today we're gathering to celebrate the enigmatic and oft-misunderstood world of clowns in the most delightful way possible: through memes. How else would a site called Memebase show appreciation? Now, you might be wondering, "Why on earth would anyone want to look at clown memes? They're creepy and give me nightmares!" And trust us, you're not alone in that sentiment. Deep-rooted fear of clowns, also known as coulrophobia, is actually pretty common. If it wasn't, maybe It w…

I was a bit of a whiner as a kid. I am outing myself. That said, my mother wasn't the most engaging parent. She sat at the same chair every day, chainsmoking and drinking Lipton tea while filling out her logic problem books that she bought at the stationery store. While I was a very imaginative (morbid, even) child, there were times when not even my own brain could keep me entertained. And it wasn't like I could turn on the TV. That wasn't allowed. So I'd whine to my mother that I was bored. “I…

Laughter is medicine for the soul

When it comes to workplace etiquette, there are certain things were are just not supposed to be doing online. For example, hitting up a free cam site or looking at thirst traps. While we may enjoy such activities in the comforts of our home, it's not really kosher to go there in the office or on the work computer. And honestly, being on the job isn't the most arousing activity. Sometimes, however, we do like to indulge in some dirty humor, and the best way that's even somewhat acceptable is mem…

It's a tale as old as time. After a long day of staring at your screen in anger, you're standing (or maybe sitting, crying) in the shower. Just trying to wash away the agony of the day. As you lather up your hair with sweet-smelling shampoo, there it is. A “Eureka!” moment. No, not the meaning of life. But the perfect zinger that would have absolutely destroyed that annoying bully in the office cafeteria, or perhaps that obnoxious Twitter troll you wanted to clobber with words. It's unfortunate…

It's been a very long time since I enjoyed the experience of dining at an all-you-can-eat buffet . Enjoying memes, however, feels kind of close. Both buffets and memes offer a plethora of options to choose from. Just as a buffet provides a wide variety of dishes, from appetizers to desserts, memes cover a broad range of topics, humor, and cultural references. Whether you're looking for a quick laugh or a super-specific joke about one of your more niche interests, there's probably a meme out the…

When we talk about relationships, it feels like people are usually discussing ones of the romantic variety. But there are many other types of relationships. The relationship you have with your toilet, for example. Or your friendships, the people who are your blood family, or perhaps your chosen family. I, personally, have a relationship with my coworkers. It's usually positive. But we have our little ways of communicating with side-eyes, smiles, and sometimes the odd eye-roll that lets us know…

Foot-in-Mouth Syndrome alert.

Another day, another dollar. Why does it always feel like such a struggle? First of all, you have to wake up, and if that wasn't already harrowing enough, then you have to get out of bed. Once you've made it that far, it's time for those daily hygienic rituals that help others perceive you to be a functioning member of society. I don't know about you, but I'm not Patrick Bateman when it comes to my morning routine. I'm dragging my feet and using the drugstore brand lotion. Exercise ? Fat chance…

I've never considered myself a Trekkie. Sure, I like Star Trek. I powered through the entirety of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds while battling Covid-19. The show, which follows the adventures of Captain Christopher Pike (masterfully played by Anson Mount), is an action-packed fresh look at some of the universe's most beloved characters. We've met Spock, Uhura, and now James Kirk, who ends up taking the reins of USS Enterprise after Pike. It may not be the best television show of all time, but a…

Greetings, memers who dabble in all things dank. We want you to grab your favorite munchies and prepare for a mind-bending journey through the hazy world of weed memes. Now that New York City has embraced the green wave of legalization, it's time to celebrate with some serious giggles. Whether you're a seasoned stoner or a freshly minted cannabis connoisseur, these memes will probably resonate, whether you're high or not. Being a weed smoker lends itself to comedy. The absurdity of forgetting y…

When you're a kid almost everything feels like it's the end of the world. When I was 4 I became absolutely convinced that the “cool” way to eat pizza was upside down. Cheese facing plate. Ridiculous. The first time my mom took me for pizza after this idea got into my head, I attempted this method between sips of Hawaiian Punch. Once she noticed what was happening she freaked out, grabbed the slice, and tried to get me to eat it the right way. I had a meltdown so explosive that she refused to se…
