Big little brains

It's my belief that people take lemons for granted. Most stores, even the produce-phobic bodegas of Brooklyn , have a least a few to offer the acid-seeking individuals of the world. Lemons gussy up water. They add zip to salad dressings, their zest is crucial for many baked goods, and they taste good as hell in a cocktail. Lemons have inspired tired phrases (When life gives you lemons… ) and denigrating ones (when we're talking about disappointing people or things). Lemon-flavored things also g…

April is currently around the corner, which means that everyone's favorite marijuana-based holiday is around the corner as well. Here in New York City, the “yerba" has been legalized, which means 4/20/2023 is going to be very, very interesting. While “exotic” smoke shops have been popping up faster than a thirteen-year-old's pimples, most of them are operating without any legality. In fact, New York is giving licensing priority to charities and people who have been unfairly persecuted for minor…

Some kids are built for academic tests and some just aren't. But failing at a pop quiz doesn't necessarily mean a kid isn't smart. In fact, a certain kind of “ technically correct ” wrong answer is often a testament to a kid's cleverness. We've collected a bunch of funny examples of wrong exam answers that still deserve an “A” for comedic genius in our eyes. Or at least a couple of pity points.

Our beloved Stan Lee transcended the status of merely being an individual who crafted comic narratives. He represents a beacon of pop culture continuity that continually draws a substantial segment of American populace to the cinematic establishments. The Marvel franchise stands tall as one of the titanic forces within the superhero cinema universe, challenging anyone to not be able to identify at least one of their illustrious characters (provided they don't violate the unpardonable offense of…

For those who strut their stuff solo

Life can be a very demeaning and isolating journey, especially for those of us who struggle with depression and feelings of hopelessness. Sometimes it feels like we're trapped in a never-ending cycle of monotony and pain, and the only reprieve comes from aimlessly scrolling through the internet, searching for something distracting to bring a moment of sweet, sweet relief. As someone who knows what it's like to feel trapped in the darkness of their own mind, I want you to know that you're not al…

Qapla'! nuqneH! As a cha'DIch Star Trek fan who definitely knows how to speak Klingon, I'm pleased to bring you an Enterprise-sized batch of funny memes about the movies and television show. Being a pIn'a' Hurgh of the franchise, I've always been drawn to the unique blend of science fiction, jIH, and qIb Qa' that has made Star Trek a tlhIngan nugh phenomenon for fifty-plus years. One thing that makes Star Trek so vItlhutlh is its ability to tackle important issues in a way that is both yIjatlh…

What's next? Chet?!

We're living in a time when convenience seems to be absolutely everything. Instead of enjoying a leisurely walk to the farmer's market and soaking up the sights and sounds of the neighborhood, people choose apps that send someone else to do their shopping. It's never been easier (or more expensive) to eat locally. Instead of spending your hard-earned money at local boutiques, bookstores, and thrift shops for that special gift or new clothes, many of us rely on Amazon, Etsy, or even eBay. When w…

Happy Monday, fools. Today we're gathering to celebrate the enigmatic and oft-misunderstood world of clowns in the most delightful way possible: through memes. How else would a site called Memebase show appreciation? Now, you might be wondering, "Why on earth would anyone want to look at clown memes? They're creepy and give me nightmares!" And trust us, you're not alone in that sentiment. Deep-rooted fear of clowns, also known as coulrophobia, is actually pretty common. If it wasn't, maybe It w…

I was a bit of a whiner as a kid. I am outing myself. That said, my mother wasn't the most engaging parent. She sat at the same chair every day, chainsmoking and drinking Lipton tea while filling out her logic problem books that she bought at the stationery store. While I was a very imaginative (morbid, even) child, there were times when not even my own brain could keep me entertained. And it wasn't like I could turn on the TV. That wasn't allowed. So I'd whine to my mother that I was bored. “I…

Laughter is medicine for the soul

When it comes to workplace etiquette, there are certain things were are just not supposed to be doing online. For example, hitting up a free cam site or looking at thirst traps. While we may enjoy such activities in the comforts of our home, it's not really kosher to go there in the office or on the work computer. And honestly, being on the job isn't the most arousing activity. Sometimes, however, we do like to indulge in some dirty humor, and the best way that's even somewhat acceptable is mem…

It's a tale as old as time. After a long day of staring at your screen in anger, you're standing (or maybe sitting, crying) in the shower. Just trying to wash away the agony of the day. As you lather up your hair with sweet-smelling shampoo, there it is. A “Eureka!” moment. No, not the meaning of life. But the perfect zinger that would have absolutely destroyed that annoying bully in the office cafeteria, or perhaps that obnoxious Twitter troll you wanted to clobber with words. It's unfortunate…
