Namaste.

In my 30-odd years of life, none of my romantic breakups have affected me quite like when I felt the pain of a friendship breakup. While it was not my fault (trust me), losing Magda and Molly (names changed for privacy) was probably the hardest experience of my life. It's true that people grow apart, but the sudden break in what was once a beautiful and meaningful relationship is always jarring. There really isn't a good rulebook for how to deal with the situation, but that doesn't stop TikToke…

Prepare yourself... you are in fact, the drama.

Happy Tuesday, Internet users and abusers. It's already been quite a week here on the world wide web, and that often has something to do with real-life drama. Last week we celebrated (lol) the one-year anniversary of the January 6th insurrection, and weirdly enough, it seems that while Jair Bolsonaro is sadly dragging his feet around the KFCs and Publix supermarkets of Orlando, Florida, his supporters decided to emulate Trump's rabid fanbase and cause what was, perhaps, an even bigger ruckus at…

Happy Tuesday to all our friends, lovers, enemies, and even those of you who identify as a sorcerer of dreadful power, master of shadows and of phantoms, foul in wisdom, cruel in strength, misshaping what you touched, twisting what you rule, lord of werewolves, etc. For those of you who are new to Memebase, or have never enjoyed our “Tolkien Tuesday” series, Tuesdays are when we present the Internet with the best Lord of the Rings memes we scrolled through this week.

A picture is worth a thousand words...

Do you know how to read? Are you fascinated by history and mythology, particularly of the Greek and Roman variety? Well, you're in for a real treat! Turns out the people of Tumblr and Twitter really, really, really enjoy classical mythology. They could go on about it for days, debating mythological hypotheticals, or delivering sharp one-liners about the deities worshiped by Ancient Greeks and Romans. We've put together a hearty helping of these sorts of posts. I wouldn't treat them as one would…

Happy Monday , y'all. Another beautiful day on this bleak planet, Earth. Things have not been particularly easy on my end. Between the seasonal depression, the regular depression, the premenstrual mood swings, and the long recovery from Covid-19, I'm not in the best shape. The levels of self-deprecation creeping into my humor is off the charts, and I think the people I spend my time with are beginning to get concerned. Thankfully the Internet is filled with memes, tweets, and Tumblr posts from…

Anyone who lives in the United States is well aware that health insurance feels like a huge scam. But what if hospitals and health insurance companies like UnitedHealth Group, Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and others were actually honest about how horrifically terrible they are? Roger Horton investigates.

We here at Memebase may not play favorites, per se, but there are certain memes we like more than others. Incredibly dumb, literal memes are probably at the top of that list. But there are other memes that delight us nearly as much, and history memes and anime memes are both pretty close in line. Our years of surfing the internet have made us privy to the happy news that there's an entire subreddit dedicated to memes that use anime stills to humorously riff on historical events both funny and d…

Star Wars television adaptations are a controversial subject. They've received largely mixed (if not bad reviews), save The Mandalorian , a program that we will never forgive for introducing the internet to Baby Yoda. We are so tired of Baby Yoda memes . Anyway. In our opinion, Andor really changed the game. The show, which was created by Tony Gilroy, follows the story of Cassian Andor, one of the rebels who sacrificed their lives to take a stand against in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Andor's…

Happy Sunday, freaks and weirdos. Does anyone else feel the " Sunday Scaries " looming over their shoulder? I'd like to say that it "couldn't be me," but alas. Even when your job involves scrolling through (and judging) internet things that are supposed to be funny, Monday isn't exactly a day I look forward to. Only an hour before I started typing this I was flabbergasted by the fact that it was already the ass end of the week. And that's largely due to the fact that Saturday was a blur of near…

There are memes for almost any subculture. You just need to know where to look. This became really clear to me after diving into the nerdy world of birding. As a kid, my Dad and I would visit parks and marshlands, Audubon book in hand, looking for birds both rare and common. While my favorites were always colorful or endangered (Roseate Spoonbill, anyone?), I've since broadened my formerly particular affections for avian life. While I never stopped enjoying scoping out the trees and forest floo…

Shopping on Amazon can be tricky for a multitude of reasons. The most glaring being that Jeff Bezos' online shopping giant is known for its cruel treatment of its employees, and for putting small businesses, well, out of business. Another issue I've had is the sheer volume of fake reviews for cheap, poor-quality products hailing from China. Many of these products misrepresent themselves, and they're often ineligible for refunds. Always read the fine print. Though sifting through reviews and scr…

I'm the problem, it's me.

Greetings, internet explorers and post-appreciators. If you've been avoiding Twitter thanks to Elon Musk , or have never composed a short and sweet tweet simply because you didn't want to, we don't blame you. The ol' bird app can definitely be intimidating. It can also be downright unpleasant if you say the wrong thing or enter the wrong area of the website. With that said, we do enjoy indulging in the witticisms of the people who do the app justice with their wit, wisdom, or even endearing stu…
