Memes for minutes

Time for a little history less: On this day exactly 10 years ago, a funny meme was born. I'm not sure exactly which one, but that's the beautiful thing about memes—new ones are made every day. Every hour. Even every second. Even the weakest and dumbest Marvel movie takes years and millions of dollars to produce. But the best memes are totally free and sometimes they only take a few seconds to create. It all comes down to having an idea. Some memes might shine a little bit brighter than others,…

Hold the sprinkles

The other day I saw a chalkboard sign outside of a smoothie shop that read, "when life gives you strawberries, make a smoothie." It was was bewildering to me. For one, they completely missed the point of the adage they were referencing. The reason why you make lemonade when life gives you lemons is because lemons are way too sour to eat on their own. The quotes about seeing the silver linings in terrible situations.. When life gives you strawberries, you eat the strawberries. Because the gliste…

Guys. We really need to know why it always seems to be 'where are the memes ? Give me the memes ! I need the god damn memes! ' but not ' how are the memes? It just seems kind of rude not to care about how they might feel about being swiped and redistributed as we see fit. They are flung into our group chats and casually uploaded to Instagram stories. Just think about it for a second. Nearly much every meme you have seen has probably been passed around without any regard for its psychological st…

“This kinda hurt my feelings, but A+ on satire."

Mix and match

Happy freaking weekend, y'all! We're pleased to be bringing you another mildly entertaining batch of halfway decent memes . They can be consumed as you laze around in bed, enjoying a lack of career-related responsibilities. Alternatively, they can be enjoyed while en route to go see some friends out in the world (perhaps at a bar or restaurant.) They can also be enjoyed from the comfort of one's couch, as you indulge in other forms of relaxation, such as watching a stupid movie, or (as is my te…

A few nibbles

Memes aren't purely for entertainment. Memes serve many purposes. They're like little friends in your phone that cheer you up when you're feeling lonely or sad. They bring people closer together and they're a good excuse to DM a crush in a chill and non-committal way. The perfect meme will brighten up any group chat after an awkward silence. They're excellent for occupying dull moments you can't get out of, like waiting in a long line at the grocery store. If you're trying not to make eye-conta…

“If the spiders don't kill you, the birds will…”

It must be a Lightning McQueef model or a Ford Flatulence…

They're so special.

All sorts

Well, that escalated quickly…

While it's true that lying is generally bad, it's also true that some lies are so inane, so ridiculous, and so detailed, that the entertainment factor pretty much absolves the fibber of sin. When I was a kid I would write personal essays that were filled with lies so obvious (No, I never actually worked at a tiger preserve in China) that it's a miracle I got all As. Perhaps my teachers admired my creativity, or gave me points simply because they had something entertaining to read in the teacher…
