Mind your own business

I love old people . They get to chill all day long, living their lives freely, and don't give a hoot about anything. Old people will spend all day watching What Would You Do with John Quiñones and feel no shame. I don't know if my silly young self could do the same. There are a lot of downsides to being old. You're much more physically limited than when you were younger and start to forget things you used to remember. It's really not a great time in your life, but all you can do is make the bes…

People are often surprised when I tell them that my 92-year-old grandmother is capable of sending me emails. They're surprised that my Grandfather posts to my Facebook, and still calls me to describe his dreams. While they've both got a pretty good handle on using the world wide web, there's plenty of people their age (even boomers) who consistently fail to use social media, and even Google, properly. While sometimes their failures or inappropriate diatribes can be offensive, many of the online…

Memes are for everyone!

It's absolutely mind-boggling to think of all the tech-related advancements that have occurred over the last, oh, fifty years. And while we do poke fun at the technical abilities (or lack thereof) of the geriatrics in our lives, we've really got to hand it to them: There's been a lot to keep up with. While my 93-year-old grandmother impresses me with her knowledge of how to email, the truth is that there are definitely elderly people who are both more and less technologically advanced than she…

We criticize baby boomers a lot here at Memebase, and deservedly so! They've been acting foolish since they were teenagers, and even though it pains us, today, we're here to show boomers some love. If there's one thing baby boomers love to do, it's being active on Facebook. Most boomers do not get social media, and they probably never will. If there's one arena of the online world they thrive in, it's Facebook dot com . There, baby boomers can connect with friends from high school, sell their p…

You're (probably) not at death's door

“I’m a 35 year old with the mindset of a 7 year old, knees of a 65 year old, and bedtime of a 98 year old. I'll be taking no questions at this time”

Not all memes are created equal. Some thrive for a short period just to get beaten to the ground like the dead horses they are. Others can sail on forever, generally accepted by the meme-consuming population as “good." The following memes are none of those things. These memes were rotten from the first time they were posted on the world wide web.

They're so special.

2023 here we come!

As much as boomers and millennials seem to love warring on the internet over who screwed the world up, we can't let ourselves forget how awesome old people can be, especially when they attempt to use some new kind of tech for the first time. It's also important to remember that we're all going to be boomers some day—time will make sure of that. And hopefully in the decades to come, when millennials inevitably hold the boomer torch, we'll end up on meme pages that poke fun at our little incompet…

The list is long

She got more than she bargained for

Most casinos are chaotic and depressing places . The free booze, cool temperatures, and desperation combine to create a place that can inspire excitement, but more often misery and disappointment. My times at casinos have started with optimism, the truth is that I have no freaking idea what I'm doing, and I usually walk away with the most minor of gains or break even. It's underwhelming and sometimes unsettling. But it's always the atmosphere that leaves me the most spooked. TikToker @nlwestfal…
