Hey hey party people! If you're planning on celebrating Cinco de Mayo, we hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday, and of course, we have to take this opportunity to remind you what the holiday is actually about: contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican independence day, but rather the anniversary of the victorious 1862 battle of Puebla against Napoleon III's army, located southeast of Mexico City.

Today, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated in the state of Puebla, but is not much recognized in the rest of Mexico. The holiday was brought to the States as a way for Mexican immigrants to celebrate their heritage, but has since spread to include the rest of America. 

TL;DR: Cinco de Mayo is an excuse for many Americans to get drunk and eat tacos.

Some of these Twitter stars should write books, but we'll take these short and tasty tidbits while we wait.

A little extra dankness to make your day a bit more interesting!

This meme of a little Vietnamese girl tracing her cat on a piece of paper needs little explanation - it's the perfect way to diss on all the haters and the fakers out there.

In honor of National Avocado Day, we're bringing you the best avocado memes we could find, because who the hell doesn't like avocado?

This meme is an oldie but a goldie! It all started a couple years back when an Instagram user uploaded a video of a man making fun of a boy's haircut, to which he replied, "Don't disrespect me like that dog." The video has since been used in memes that depict relatable scenarios of people being hilariously "disrespected."

The "illusion of free choice" memes refer to the times in life where it seems like our personal choices really make a difference - only, in these cases they just lead us to the same outcome. It's kind of a sobering reality, isn't it?
