Listen. We like normal memes as much as the next person. What's a normal meme, you ask? Well, one example would have to be anything in the style of Twitter. You know, when the joke comes in the form of text above an image. Usually, these memes are a pretty lowest common denominator type of entertainment. Relatable as all hell. We're talking memes about how much we need coffee to get through the day. Maybe memes about how you feel like a useless piece of sh*t and are amounting to nothing. Or the…

There's no way around it: Twitter's been a bit of a mess lately. Just last week they removed blue checks from anyone who isn't paying for Twitter Blue. Y'know, besides the likes of LeBron James , Dril, and Stephen King. It's a funny grift, and there were plenty of accounts having a field day with their new place as “normal” Twitter users. While we were kind of terrified about what our feed would look like after the axe fell ( Elon Musk said our For You pages would be all verified), we've still…

Does anybody enjoy reality these days? As an enthusiast of science fiction media, I find a strangely exciting solace in sci-fi movies, TV shows, books, and video games. Space, extraterrestrials, advanced technology, futuristic scenarios - it's all preferable to, say, sitting at my desk in this particular hellscape. If you're feeling similarly, we suggest you gather 'round and feast your eyes on a plethora of memes that delve deep into these beloved topics. Undoubtedly, sci-fi has emerged as one…

It is Wednesday, my dudes. If you've spent any time on Reddit over the past few years, you're probably familiar with the inside joke, which originated in the r/me_irl subreddit. Frogs, toads, and Redditors aside, Wednesday is supposedly a day worth celebrating. But we don't really see it. Wednesday is a marker, a reminder that there's still half a week left of working - at least, that is, if you're a 9-5 office drone like we are here at Memebase. To celebrate “hump day” is to feed into the syst…

As someone who loves food, there are certain combinations that shake me to my core. Pineapple on pizza , surprisingly, is not one of them. Banana on pizza, as they enjoy in Sweden, is another story altogether. While I recoil at that abomination, like I do any at any absurdly cheesy fish dish, there are certain things I enjoy that might make someone else cry out in horror. My affection for cottage cheese topped with salsa definitely falls into that category. I may be alone in terms of that guilt…

As excited as I am for the warm weather to arrive, I always feel a bit of sadness as winter ends and hibernation ceases with it. Though I often decry the pains of seasonal affective disorder, the winter blues are great for enabling behaviors that may not necessarily be the most mentally healthy. This can mean gorging oneself on rich, wintery meals. It can also mean (if you're like me) binge-watching movies and television shows. While I like a current comedy or a cooking competition as much as t…

Time is weird. Five minutes doesn't sound, outwardly, like a lot of time. But it can pass in wildly different ways. Five minutes at the DMV, or waiting for 5 o'clock to roll around, can feel like an eternity. The same goes for waiting in line for a drink at a crowded bar. But five minutes doing something more enjoyable can pass a lot more quickly. A five-minute turn on some sort of amusement ride (they're usually a lot shorter) can feel like five seconds for people who enjoy them, and five year…

If you're the kind of person who spends countless hours scrolling through memes and forgets to take care of yourself, you're not alone. Memes are addictive, like potato chips; once you start, you can't stop. As humor experts who use memes to cope with anxiety and depression , we know how comforting they can be. But if you're using them to avoid confronting your issues, it might be time to consider therapy. Looking at these "therapist memes" and relatable tidbits about mental health won't solve…

I miss Andor . It's a disturbance in the force that's been plaguing me lately. Despite my insistent scouring through the Disney+ menu, solace eludes me. Watching other shows like Beef or Top Chef (never been a huge fan of The Mandalorian) but none seem to fill the void left by the first season of Andor. The Star Wars prequel series, which chronicles Cassian Andor's adventures in the resistance, is one of the best TV shows I've seen in a long time. The action, suspense, and amazing soundtrack ha…

Time is a strange concept, as five minutes can feel like an eternity or pass by in a flash depending on how it is spent. For instance, waiting in line at the DMV or a crowded bar can make five minutes feel like an endless stretch, while enjoying a thrilling ride can make it feel like it went by in a blink of an eye. On the other hand, when used wisely, five minutes can be just the right amount of time. Taking a moment to pet your furry friend before heading out can be a great way to make the mo…

As a business owner, coming up with a solid name for your establishment is pretty damn important. You don't want to be serving burgers as a restaurant called “MacDonalds,” and you probably want to avoid something as basic as “Burger.” You can choose to reference what you're selling, or go by the name of a family member. Some hip spots will take the name of the business that failed at the same location (probably due to gentrification) or some twee combination of animal and tool, like “Stag and S…

Some elegant potty memes to scroll through during your bathroom break.

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…

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…
