Being an adult sounded great when I was like, thirteen. I had it all figured out: My best friend Jane and I would move into her uncle's cottage in England. He's a big-time director and owned Beatrix Potter's house. It was going to be amazing. Driving old range rovers around the estate, listening to the Cure and the Clash, and eating (and drinking) like queens. Judging by the fact that I'm living in a tenement here in Brooklyn, and she's living with her mother-in-law in New Jersey, things haven'…

As a lowly office worker, reaching the end of hump day can feel like a small victory against the agonizing monotony of the Monday-Friday workweek. Hump day, known to some as Wednesday, is nestled between the arduous beginning and the eagerly awaited end of the week. It's a day that embodies both exhaustion and a glimmer of hope, as we trudge through the remaining workdays, inching closer to a weekend of relative freedom. In our office, conversations revolve around the struggle to stay focused,…

Today I congratulated myself for making the bed, and also for finishing my coffee before it was cold. I may not have drank a 16 oz glass of water like I had plugged into my productivity app, but listen. Nobody's perfect. Not even Keanu Reeves. I'm sure he has a devious thought every now and then, or orders Uber Eats instead of cooking his own meals. Anyway, the obsession with perfection, productivity, and self-care is getting ridiculous. Even my therapist agrees. We set such high bars for ourse…

Greetings, cat lovers. There's not much I can say about our furry little feline friends that other people on the Internet haven't said before. That's especially true for our sister sites on Cheezburger. The truth is that cats rule everything around me. Some commenters razz me for my “sad cat lady” ways, but it doesn't get to me. I know that my cat obsession and self-deprecating humor are not particularly unique on the Internet. In fact, judging by the sheer volume of cat memes, articles, and pi…

Sorry not sorry, still love you thooooo

Happy Tuesday, y'all. Today may not be my favorite day of the week, but it's one of my favorite days to work. That's because I get to indulge my nerdy side and collect a ton of Lord of the Rings memes for Tolkien appreciators such as myself. Every week hundreds of LOTR-related memes are shared on Reddit, Facebook, and Instagram, and thanks to their creators, I can now share them with you. While I normally get a good chuckle or two during the process of meme collection, this week I actually lear…

Tee hee

Do you ever feel like a lifeless soul trudging through the mundane existence of millennial life? Perhaps you've found yourself in a place where every day blends into the next, and the weight of existence feels as heavy as ever. Thankfully, even with all the tiring drudgery, there's the occasional glimmer of hope—in the form of memes. Today, on this dreary Monday, we're hitting you with a collection of random memes that might help alleviate the weight of your monotonous existence. These digital…

I have a confession to make. I'm addicted to Geminis. I'm not totally sure when this started, but over the past 7 years or so, all my exes have been Geminis. All my crushes, too. What is it about this sign that makes them so irresistible? It it their emotional unavailability, lack of commitment, or general flightiness? Well, no. And I know those negative traits don't epitomize all Geminis. The real reason I'm probably drawn to Geminis is because they're exciting. They're overflowing with knowle…

Time for a little R&R

Happy Monday. Every week we lament the arrival of the ever-reliable harbinger of groans and grumbles. We all know how painfully predictable they can be, as if time itself conspires to make the start of the week as agonizing as possible. But fear not, weary soul, for in this unending cycle of workweek misery, we have a few tricks up our sleeves to make it all a little more bearable. Mostly, it's Twitter. We can never stop scrolling through the constant stream of thoughts from public figures and…

Hey there, buddy. I see you're having some fun looking at memes on the Internet. I gotta let you in on a little secret about those funny tidbits, and internet content in general. While some insufferable and pretentious internet "enjoyers" might say otherwise, memes really don't need to be smart to be funny or entertaining. It's not necessary for them to make a reference to a niche subculture, Twitter celeb, or sh*tposting trend. In fact, it's our take that dumb memes are often even funnier than…

Not everyone can be a Renaissance person. Expecting the entire world to have a mind-boggling range of interests and talents is like expecting a cactus to grow a luscious, wavy head of hair—it's just not happening. I've come too accept that I'm not an artistic genius, and that sometimes, I'm gonna feel a little bit boring. But don't get me wrong, it's not because I lack brains or conversational skills. No, my "blahness" stems from the fact that my brain's main obsession is food. I'm like a culin…

I'm not saying “I'm not like other girls,” but when I was a kid, my friendship with my cousin led to some pretty nerdy interests. Namely, Star Wars. I wasn't allowed to own Barbie dolls , so his collection of Star Wars action figures was the next best thing. We'd watch the movies over and over again, pretend we could play the cantina song with various shampoo bottles, and compete over who could do “better” at “vintage” Star Wars games like Dark Forces, Yoda Stories, or X-Wing - all of which my…

The odds may be slim, but they are never zero.

Intelligence comes in many impressive flavors. You've got math whizzes who solve mind-boggling equations just for fun , making the rest of us question our brains' existence. They can calculate tips at lightning speed and perform complex mental gymnastics like it's a walk in the park. Then there are the artistic geniuses who can turn a blank canvas into a masterpiece using paints, pencils, or even discarded junk they stumble upon. I think these qualify as superpowers. There are science nerds who…
