Another day, another "stuff i like" meme. This one zeroes in on stuff/people/moments that have supposedly caused a cultural impact - and compares them to universally accepted people and movements that are believed to be important. Many of the memes involve The Beatles, but other people were able to mix it up. If you like what you see, simply search the meme on Twitter to find more. Just be prepared to sift through a shitload of K-Pop memes and tweets!

If you've noticed that people on Twitter debating the creation of sex, you'd best believe there's nothing scientific about their hypotheses. Earlier this week, @livingforjc tweeted that "Sex was created by God, for marriage, between a husband and wife. Not for a boyfriend and girlfriend that are dating". The musing from this obviously religious account quickly became fodder for our new favorite Twitter meme. People have been riffing on the purity-driven tweet by claiming that sex was invented by their favorite musicians (One Direction is extremely present in this meme), or, say, by the extremely horny God Zeus. Most of these tweets are gold, but we've put together the cream of the crop for you to sift through.

Our favorite damn way to waste our time.
While the the 2019 Oscars were exceedingly memeable, the most meme-worthy award definitely goes to Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Their performance of A Star Is Born's "Shallow" was almost uncomfortably intimate, and proceeded to spawn a wealth of suspicious and tea-loving tweets about the duo's sexual tension. Memes quickly followed, ranging from sexual in nature to celebrations of our banal Oscarless lives. While these are some of the funniest memes we could find, we're willing to bet that Gaga and Cooper will be gracing Reddit, Twitter, and Instagram for the entire week. We're not complaining.
2018 was a damn good year for movies. There was The Favourite, zany fish-eyed English Baroque rollercoaster from Yorgos Lanthimos. Roma, a poignant love letter to Mexico City, managed to steal hearts internationally. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper inexplicably paired up for what ended up being our favorite iteration of A Star Is Born yet. Despite our immense love for these acclaimed films, we also enjoy making fun of sh*t. And The Shiznit happens to do that very well.
Every year the entertainment site posts "honest posters" for Oscar nominees. They're beautifully done and funny to boot. We've included some of this year's posters and some all-time favorites. If you like what you see, check out the rest here and consider donating to their Patreon.
Get out your flower crowns, ladies, it's that time of year! That's right, Coachella just released their festival lineup for 2019. It's a hefty one, featuring Ariana Grande, Childish Gambino, and Tame Impala as headliners. While a weekend in the desert sounds fun (and sold out) we might be enjoying these parodies from Twitter and Instagram a little more than an army of hipsters on MDMA.
These trending chart memes depict what kind of person you are if you consume certain types of media including popular music and TV shows. The catch is that the "types" of people are limited to edgy, depressed, dumbass, bitch, thot or bastard. The media listed attempts to make fun of basic people in each specified sub-culture.
Yet, again 'The Simpsons' have struck surprisingly close to reality and I'd be lying if I tried to sell this like I was surprised.
The most recent case of this occurring was back in 2000 when the show disturbingly predicted a reality in which Trump was elected president of the United States, almost right down to the states that voted for him.
Well now they're back, and although they didn't call it perfectly, it's pretty on freakin' point.
This episode aired back in 2012 and featured Lady Gaga performing at the half time show.
