Happy Thursday! Here at Memebase, we're revving up to take a hyperspace jump to a relaxing weekend after an extra challenging workweek. What is our protocol droid's directive for leisure? Engaging light-speed and setting course for the vast universe of escapism, of course. And what's our favorite form of escapism? Well, memes of course. The act of escapism is as ancient as Yoda, with humans likely partaking in its various forms since the days of dwelling in caves. While some individuals prefer…

Hello, friends. This collection of memes , funny pictures, and witty tweets has been carefully curated to perfection and tested in a third-party lab to ensure maximum entertainment for as many viewers as possible. It's said that variety is the spice of life, and that adage definitely applies to the world of memes. We've got self-deprecating memes about overthinking in the middle of the night, memes about working crappy jobs that we hate; and of course, some simple yet incredibly relatable tidbi…

Well that's an unconventional ability

I walk a lonely road, the only road that I have ever known...

Not everyone can be a renaissance man, woman, or person. It's actually pretty unrealistic to think everyone in the world will have a fascinating range of interests, talents, or hobbies. For much of my pathetic time on this planet, I've felt a bit boring . This isn't because I'm dumb, or because I don't know how to make conversation. The feeling of blahness I feel about my personality is mostly due to the fact that all I really care about is food. I love cooking food in my cramped kitchen. I lov…

It recently came to my attention that if I was left to my own devices, I might end up rotting in my bedroom and never leaving my apartment. That's because it's so easy to waste my own time scrolling through Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. I t's not the most healthy situation. See, I end up putting off important things like laundry or showering, all because I get sucked into the social media hole. I end up cobbling together terrible outfits from whatever is clean, and having to take a little “…

Happy Monday, internet users and abusers. Here in New York City, the sky is blue, the sun is shining, and we're enjoying the 52-degree temperature. There's just one glaring issue: We're being forced to work. This means sitting in the dark of our cramped apartments, staring longingly at the great outdoors. Sure, the “great outdoors" here may just mean a few trees, some stray cats, and our neighbor's crumbling lawn furniture, but it's better than nothing. As much as we realize our luck at working…

Happy Tuesday, nerds. On this beautiful day in New York City, things are pretty damn smoggy thanks to the terrible wildfires. As an asthma sufferer, I must stay inside despite the relatively pleasant temperature. Thankfully, I've got plenty of ways to busy myself. One helpful pastime has been collecting Lord of the Rings memes for our weekly roundup of the good stuff: a mix of fresh, funny, and classic memes inspired by the books and movies we so love. This week, like last week, we've got a few…

If you're craving a dose of humor but want to avoid the treacherous landscape of Twitter, we totally understand. These days, navigating the bird app can be exhausting, especially when it feels like pain and suffering are constantly being forced upon us. That's why we've put together a collection of short and sweet tweets that will tickle your funny bone without any of the unnecessary noise. It's a refreshing break from the world's troubles, and sometimes inspires us to work on our own jokes. Wi…

Ever find yourself sitting around, thinking about life and feeling like it's pointless? Perhaps it feels like a thankless charade in which your sole purpose is to benefit “the man,” make rich people richer, and suffer in your shoebox apartment. Perhaps all of your loved ones are gone, and you're feeling lonely. Maybe work just sucks, or you can't seem to shake this dreaded cold that has overtaken your aging body, making you feel decrepit, disillusioned, and deeply depressed. Whatever the case,…

Awkwardly true

Not all memes are for everybody. They're much like stinky french cheese at a viciously overpriced grocery store. You might smell one and initially think, “Wow, this smells like battery acid. What an unpleasant thing to put in my mouth or near my brain.” However

Life has a lot of ups and downs. As a depressed person in their mid-thirties, I'm definitely feeling that hard. Every time I think there's something to celebrate, life laughs heartily at my happiness, points rudely, and says “F*cK you!” It's pretty demoralizing. Just last week I was celebrating a friend's birthday and gearing up for a relaxing long weekend. The flu had other plans. Instead of diving into a debaucherous whirlwind of fun, I was stuck on the couch through the holiday, wishing for…

I don't know about you, but my perception of time and how it passes has been pretty wonky as of late. Spending these long hours sitting in front of my laptop as I get older and not wiser, the absolute weight of existence. It's all starting to take its toll. The sad truth, though, is we never owned any of this time to begin with. After you consider your fast-paced career, soul-crushing responsibilities like, uh, chores, and the bare minimum of caring for our families (or pets), there's a pretty…

Literature was my least favorite subject growing up. It felt like the teachers (and later, professors) had some elevated sense of self that required them to be dismissive of any analysis that was different than their own. While discussing the tired and antiquated Scarlet Letter , the woman would cock her head when I spoke, letting me know she “didn't follow” and “not quite sure I understand.” Weird flex, but okay. The low caliber of English literature teachers le me to pursue other related cour…

I've spent way too much time wondering if memes have a deeper purpose . Maybe it's because I look at them every day, and maybe it's because, well, they're basically my job. But I mean, come on, sometimes a funny picture about struggling to get up in the morning is just about needing more sleep. That said, sometimes there's a bit more than meets the eye. See, we're all hooked on these funny pics that are flying around the internet. We spend literal hours scrolling through them and sharing them w…
