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…

Happy Tuesday, y'all. I don't know about you, but I'm nowhere near recovered from the festivities, gluttony, and all-around insanity that occurred between Christmas and New Year's Day . Despite having yesterday off, I still feel as bloated as I did the day before. Let's just say it's not a good week for trying to fit into jeans, but it's an even worse week for trying to focus. Fortunately, this job involves some duties that don't require much in the way of agonized toiling, and collecting the w…

This may surprise some of you, but Facebook used to be a glimmering utopia for meme lovers, especially meme enthusiasts with an affection for strange humor. We called it “Weird Facebook,” and for years the meme communities were thriving. Then Instagram took off and the boomers took over, leaving many of the prolific and niche Facebook meme groups collecting dust. While the convenience of scrolling through (and the joy of running) Instagram shitposting accounts is nothing to be scoffed at, we ki…

Goodbye, 2022. As I write this I am nearly paralyzed (at least mentally) by the notion that another year has come and gone. Another shitty year, might I add. Looking back on 2022, I can't say that I've done anything of that much importance. Sure, I killed it at work and managed to keep my cats alive, but I didn't experience any milestones like getting married or having a kid - both of which the people on my Instagram and Facebook feeds seem to be doing with wild abandon. The truth is, I spent m…

Twitte may be an absolute cesspool of political drama, porn , and general stupidity But sometimes people (who are a hell of a lot funnier than we will ever be) decide to bless the site with their savage wit and clever quips. This year may have been rough on the website, but we're here to celebrate the people who continued to give their tweets (and their followers) their all, right through 2022's arguably bitter end.

I am running away from my responsibilities. And it feels good.
