money

It's true that you can sometimes make bank while being a server. Unfortunately, it's also true that you'll be abused by customers, deal with MIA managers, and spend hours of your precious time doing inane side work like polishing silverware. These server memes are for anyone in the struggle. We hear you, and we see you.

When I was a kid I thought my peers with Barbie dolls were rich. And people with air conditioners. And I wasn't the only child with a unique idea of what indicated that someone had money. This thread from @cpoliticditto proves that most kids had their own special ideas of wealth:

"My wife grew up thinking that having water/ice dispensers IN THE FRIDGE DOOR was a life goal.  I grew up thinking if you had a basketball hoop with a clear/plexiglass backboard, you were rich.  What are some things you thought were indicators of wealth when you were a kid?" 

The responses are a nice mix of amusing and depressing. While some kids thought that having an attic or a wide variety of cereal meant someone was privileged, other kids thought hot dog buns were a luxury. We've included some of our favorite responses, but there are tons more over at the thread.

If you've ever felt disconcerted by the way technology/AI have interfered in our lives, you're not alone. Twitter account @internetofshit is basically dedicated to waking people up to the fact that tech is ruining our lives in the most capitalistic ways possible. Let's all find new ways to do necessary life things and charge people a premium for it. What the heck is the world coming to?

In the midst of the 2020 presidential elections, there's been a plethora of jokes and memes made about cringey billionaire Michael Bloomberg and his Meme 2020 campaign. 

Let's face it, this country is effed in pretty much any potential outcome of the election, so let's just say f*ck it and laugh over some memes about people who are too rich for planet earth.

We love to see ordinary people exploiting glitches in the system, flawed discount deals, lazy employers, and any big institution that profits from usually doing the exploiting. When you spend most of your life rising and grinding every damn day to pay the bills, even the smallest win can feel like striking gold, like figuring out how to secure a free weekly lunch for the next couple years. 

We've got a bunch of great examples of clever people taking advantage of loopholes thanks to a hot recent thread from r/AskReddit.

When this dude received a text message from his neighbor "Jeff," he immediately recognized it as a scam and decided to have a little fun with it, because what else can you really do in that situation? Unfortunately the scammer wasn't really having it in the end, but we still got quite a bit of entertainment out of it!

We've all been broke before - some of us more often than others. Life is rough when your job pays you practically nothing, and hey, you gotta just spend some money and live your life sometimes!

In the age of GoFundMe, people are becoming super entitled and super shameless when they ask for help of any kind. These "needy" individuals are some of the worst offenders we've seen yet. We really hope these choosy beggars take a long and hard in the mirror, but we're not holding our breath for that kind of decency.

Boss-employee confrontations aren't always terrible, as it turns out. Imgur user DiscriminativeStimulus posted an email correspondence with their boss when the company made a mistake by paying them too much in over time. Shockingly, both parties acted like rational adults and justice was had all the same, which gives us a tiny bit more hope in this world.

Man, the universe just really wants us Millennials to be poor for the rest of our lives, doesn't it? We were already poor AF as is, but now we're about to get a global Great Recession thrown in there too! At least we can all struggle together? Have some more memes for sad Millennials while we're at it!

Remember when you'r mom and dad said that television was rotting your brain? They had no idea how bad this sh*t would get. Our brains are practically useless thanks to all the mindless scrolling we've been doing. We're not going to get these brain cells back so we may as well keep at this pointless internet consumption. Here are some memes to get ya started.
