Hey, kid. Do you ever feel like you're addicted to memes ? ::scratches neck:: Haha, yeah, me neither. I can stop scrolling at any time, I swear. Okay, it's a problem, I know. But man, these things are truly addictive for me. They give me this rush of adrenaline, or maybe dopamine (or both) and make me feel like I'm on top of the world. And galleries like this one, filled with random memes, get me every time. This particular meme galley has a little bit of everything: Some relatable memes, some…

Welcome to the intersection of nerdy and normie memes. You know, these memes are kind of all over the place. Makes me think of all the chaotic kids who used to just shove papers into their backpacks in grade school (or maybe even later)? Do you yearn to understand how all that chaos and impulsiveness impacted their futures? As a former crammer of papers (my mom hated it), I can say that adulthood has been a struggle , mostly in the organization department. I've been called a hurricane, a tornad…

It's true that some people hate kids. I once worked with someone who was so staunchly anti-child it kind of disturbed me. Sure, it can be argued that it's selfish to bring life into this messed up world. But if you look at it another way, it's absolutely optimistic. There's a chance, even if it's a small one, that if you raise your kid right, they could make that same messed up world a better place. Unfortunately, the internet seems to be making that prospect slightly more unrealistic. Nonethel…

The dating game isn't an easy one. And sometimes, not even the most populous or most specified apps can help you find the companionship (or action) that you're looking for. When Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble fail you, and you don't have any friends setting you up, it's time to resort to some more creative tactics. While that means trying speed dating or signing up for a class for some people, others have some less honest tactics. That's definitely the case for TikToker @coyesimmons_ , who went vira…

It's easy to idealize the past when the present is, um, lacking. Maybe that's why nostalgia is so present in media. We're not just talking about those ‘90s kids memes . We're talking about all the music that

We're firm believers in the fact that people shouldn't need to feel guilty about wanting to look at memes or mess around on their phones. Life is short and often thankless. We're worked to the bone and are granted tiny scraps of time. Scraps of time that end up being devoted to exhausted binge-watching or, even worse, our endless lists of chores. If you want to spend your lunch break scrolling through memes instead of trying to cram more banal work in (like I'm doing right now), go for it. We'r…

'It's just a phase' they said.

We knew that the pump-and-dump schemers of the crypto world were stupid – but sometimes we're still flabbergasted by the idiocy they display on a regular basis on public forums such as Twitter. This week, the crypto grindset bro that most, well, ground our gears was a certain Gavin Mayo (@EarnMayo), who got roasted to a crisp by users of the bird app. See, he thought it would be impressive to share a video of a lighter he had dropped an insane $7k on. “I spent $7000 on a lighter today. We are n…

If there was a degree in procrastination, meme viewing would be one of the 101 courses. It's like the ultimate lazy man's hobby - all you need is a finger that can scroll and a brain that can handle a dose of randomness. See, the beauty of memes is that they don't discriminate - they're for everyone. Whether you're a high-powered CEO or a slovenly, wife-beater-wearing couch potato, memes will always be there to keep you company. They don't judge you for binge-watching TV shows or for finishing…

Happy National Garlic Day, meme lovers - and hopefully, lovers of the potent alliums we absolutely need to put into every dish. To celebrate this joyous day we've written a bit of an ode to garlic bread. Why? Well, because garlic bread might just be the best garlicky dish out there, and also because we're losing brain cells and have to mix things up a bit. Oh garlic bread, how you fill me with delight, Your aroma wafts through the air, a heavenly sight, A perfect combination of bread and garlic…

There's no way around it: Twitter has a tendency to feel like a Speaker's Corner on meth or maybe Adderall or Vyvanse. There are just so many inane thoughts being boldly flung into the Twitterverse at any given moment. The political rants, the TMI moments from oversharing individuals, the banal stories from bad or annoying mothers. That said, the app can actually be delightful when you manage to block out the Twitter slush and enjoy the rare comedic gems. It's taken us many years to block the a…

Dark humor at its finest

It's true that everyone needs to eat to survive. But, as many have noted before us, there are people who eat to live, and then there are the people who live to eat. People like me. In recent years it seems as though a third kind of person has popped up: someone who eats - or cooks - to watch the world burn. You see, these sorts of people are the ones making cringey food , well, a thing. Before the age of TikTok or Reddit, crimes against food were largely private. Now they're everywhere, being m…

Greetings, fellow travelers of both the Internet and Middle-earth! We're back with another hefty collection of Lord of the Rings memes , brought to you by a true fan of both J.R.R. Tolkien's legendary masterpieces and Peter Jackson's epic film adaptations, and a fan of memes. Prepare to embark on an adventure as timeless as the journey of Frodo and the Fellowship, as we explore the Internet's darkest caverns, hunting for, well, the dumbest and funniest Lord of the Rings memes that they have to…

One of the first things I learned about in film studies, after Eadweard Muybridge's The Horse in Motion, and the works of the Lumiere brothers, was the Hollywood Studio System. While it was technically the creation of Jewish immigrants, which sounds progressive, it was, in fact, a very toxic empire and way of conducting business. The demands placed on actors were brutal, especially concerning body image. Despite the toxicity, my fascination with the era remains, and I was delighted this week to…
