If all of the stereotypes and headlines are true, then Florida has to be the most bizarre place on planet earth. On the bright side, it's produced some wonderfully strange memes that we can all scratch our heads at. And if any Floridians are reading this, can you please explain to us WTF is going on in your state?
We're all familiar with the aphorism "Nice guys finish last." It seems that many self-proclaimed "nice guys" have contributed to a self-fulfilling dating prophecy by acting, well, the opposite of nice. These memes and pics embody just that kind of behavior.
Amazing things happen when you give kids a task that requires some amount of cultural context, such as labeling popular memes. Obviously, kids can't possibly know all of the pop culture references that, say, a Millennial knows.
We've gotta say that these versions might be even better than anything that most of us adults could come up with.
Most of us have had to work terrible customer service jobs at some point just to make ends meet. These jobs are too often underappreciated and can really humble you - whether you like it or not. You've got to deal with awful customers, terrible pay, and doing jobs you really don't want to do.
So here's to you, customer service workers! Just know that we appreciate all you do!
Are you ready to get some of that sweet knowledge without even having to set foot in a classroom or museum? Then we've got you covered! We got memes about the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and more!
Make way for #SweatPantsGate, the latest scandal to grace the internet. It all started when Kevin Gu, a Harvard law student, recently interviewed for a position at Edelson P.C., a prestigious law firm based in Chicago.
The trouble started when Gu emailed the firm with the intention of scheduling a follow-up interview. Instead, he received a reply from a staff member at the firm stating, "At this point, I think bringing you in for a callback interview would be a waste of your time, and ours."
Gu posted his exchange with the firm online and it quickly blew up and sparked a plethora of reactions. The story was subsequently picked up by Above the Law, a news source devoted to reporting the happenings in the legal field, which then gained the attention of Jay Edelson, the firm's founder and CEO.
Edelson quickly wrote up a response to the story, explaining the firm's decision to reject Gu from the position. He stated that Gu had interviewed with Edelson several times before in on-campus interviews (OCI) as a law student; in the first interview he apparently showed up late wearing sweatpants, and late again to the second interview.
The icing on the cake in Edelson's response, however, was the very last line, which read, "I have more to say, but the cat videos are calling." Many have since accused Edelson of trying way too hard to relate to the kids.
Gu then replied to Edelson's message in attempt to set the record straight, stating that he has always worn "100% wool slacks" - not sweatpants - to interviews with Edelson P.C.
The ordeal has of course lead to many different reactions and opinions on the matter, all of which can be expressed in the memes below.
