It feels kind of wrong to be bored on a beautiful day. But sometimes, the odds are stacked against you. Lately, at least here in beautiful New York City, allergy season is in full swing. This means that people are sneezing, tearing up, coughing, and feeling completely miserable wherever they go. I've personally been responsible for a cacophony of sniffles, sneezes, and nose-blowing in my open office plan, and lemme tell ya: I do not feel good about it. The fear of sneezing on a stranger, leakin…

Congratulations Internet users and abusers. You've made it through the weekend and are enjoying a Monday. While the best servers and bartenders have today off, us desk jockeys are left to gather up our last shreds of dignity and march our way into work, whether physically or mentally ( people who work from home ). To lessen my weekly pain, I, personally start Monday's work on Sunday. It's like microdosing misery, the kind of misery that leads to your own burnout and your boss' benefit. Easing m…

What up, what up? It's that time of the week again. Tuesday . While this day may be the most difficult of the week (no longer refreshed from the weekend, lots of weekdays left until freedom), its name does happen to have some interesting origins. Tuesday actually stems from Tīwesdæg, an Old English word that means “the day of Tiw.” Tiw was a Germanic god of war, similar to Mars, or Ares, if we're talking Roman or Greek mythology . Somehow it makes sense that we'd be offering up our weekly colle…

Aw yeah, you know what time it is. We're back in the Meme Zone, where humor and social commentary collide in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Memes have become a ubiquitous part of internet culture, taking on a life of their own as they spread like wildfire across social media platforms. From the iconic "Distracted Boyfriend" to the deranged, nonsensical, absurd shitposts of recent years, memes have the power to capture our attention, evoke emotion, and even shape our collective consciousne…

Monday. Another Monday as a miner of memes. As a dedicated excavator and curator, in the world of meme culture, I can assure you that my journey in the meme mines has been both grueling and rewarding. Day after day, I descend deep into the depths of the internet, sifting through countless pages and feeds in search of the most humorous, relatable, and downright absurd memes that exist. Despite the many challenges that come with this job, I am proud to say that I have never given up. I know just…

We may have lost Yahoo Answers, but there are still places to find unintentionally hilarious stuff on the Internet. Quora is the obvious next best thing, but I think wikiHow gives 'em a run for their money. Quora seems to be filled mostly with a healthy combination of illiterates, nerds, and narcissists asking stupid questions and giving bad advice. wikiHow, on the other hand, is a place where “experts” give advice unprompted. And this advice is often, in turn, paired with some seriously weird…

Happy November, y'all. October was kind of a month. I'm sure a lot of stuff happened, but it's already a blur. Kanye West was Kanye West-ing, Elon Musk brought a damn sink into Twitter HQ , and Halloween happened for what felt like a week straight. Those events are enough on their own, but we're definitely missing a lot. One thing we're not forgetting is the wealth of hilarious, weird, and relatable tweets shot into the world by people who probably spend way too much time on the internet. In fa…

It's well-documented that alcohol is not exactly good for you. Sure, there have been numerous studies that red wine is good for the heart, or that it's good for the brain, or “keeps you young.” But I don't take those studies seriously. As an enjoyer of alcohol, and a temporary abstainer, I know the damage that booze can have on one's mental health, physical health, and relationships. In my case, it's been difficult to go without a stiff reward for a long day, or a couple glasses of wine while s…

Oh, wow. It's Monday again. Feels like just yesterday it was Friday and we were celebrating our hard-won freedom from the constraints of the damn workweek. But that freedom is so, so fleeting. And more often than not, it feels like we're still recovering from our fun (or laziness) come Monday. At least, that is, if you work a job that provides the luxury of a regular schedule. I know not everyone can enjoy that, especially those of you who work retail or are working in restaurants. Whether you…

Whether you're an introvert or an extrovert mostly comes down to the ways in which you recharge that social battery. Extroverts (who really seem to get a bad rap) tend to feel energized and replenished by simply being around other people, whereas introverts are more likely to feel drained and exhausted in social situations. While introverts don't necessarily hate large gatherings or talking to people, they do need a little extra alone time to feel like themselves. That's why while some of my fr…

You know the Ninja Turtles, right? Those sneaker-snapping, belt-biting boys – with real breakdancin’ action! Who fight crime with karate, often with weapons – one time with sausages – but always with pure, uncut 80’s surfer ‘tude coursing through their surprisingly pronounced veins. Okay but did you know about the crass joke they made on Oprah? Well, if not, you're in luck. This... is Canonball.

I don't think I'm the drama...

Today is Cinco de Mayo. A day that is admittedly pretty grotesque when you consider the way it's celebrated in the United States. Yesterday, however, was a holiday that includes none of the vomit-inducing drinking and cultural appropriation that is prevalent on the fifth of May. On May 4th, geeks everywhere celebrate Star Wars Day, and they do it by sharing Star Wars-related content on pretty much every social media platform. Here at Memebase, we don't need an excuse to share sci-fi memes. In f…

This fleeting existence has a tendency to feel a bit pointless. You know, "life's a b*tch and then you die" type vibes. It's really wild that everyting feels as though it's meant to be a struggle, living meager paycheck to meager paycheck, while some person who says "yes" or "no" or “more” lives lavishly and luxuriously thanks to our hard work. While we try not to think of the sad reality in our day-to-day lives, it has become increasingly hard to ignore. But when the going gets tough, and real…

Happy May 4th, to anyone who celebrates this hallowed day. But let's be real: Star Wars fans don't really need a day to express their love for the magical sci-fi series. Every single day on the Internet might as well be Star Wars Day. You don't have to look far to understand that George Lucas' devotees are serious about the movies, television shows, games and even books that flesh out the very special universe. There are subreddits galore dedicated to our favorite trilogies and spinoffs, and me…

Scrolling one's way through loads of random memes is kind of like browsing a Las Vegas buffet that takes up half the floor of a casino, or one of those huge New Jersey diner menus that has so many pages they had to put it in a binder filled with clip art, or the impressive salumi and cheese board at your cousin's mob-financed wedding. Though some of the goods may not appeal to you, when that one sweet piece of shrimp cocktail hits, it really hits. On the other hand, maybe you're not that partic…
