The clock seems to tick so slowly when you have nothing to do. To prevent yourself from staring at it anxiously, indulge in some of these memes, tweets, and comics to keep you busy. They may not speed up time, but they'll make everything seem a little less agonizing. 

There are those times when you feel so frustrated talking to someone that you just want to lash out and not give them any more of your time. This story, however, demonstrates that sometimes kindness and patience is the only way to convince them of your point of view. 

For this mother of a transgender child, it's clear that all she needed was to be put in her child's shoes. Now, who's cutting onions in here?

When Twitter user Steph Veerman went off to college, her dad offered to take care of her pet hamster Chester, who proceeds to escape from his clutches. But fear not, dear reader, for this Twitter story has a happy ending!

Bored? Yeah, us too. Motivated? We're pretty sure you're not. Fortunately for you, we put together the incredibly small amount of energy we had today and put it all into collecting tweets to help you murder your boredom. They're not the most genius things ever tweeted, but they will probably keep you occupied for a few sad minutes.

The holiday season is here, and you know what that means! The whole family gets together to eat some delicious food, exchange gifts and, of course, listen to more dad jokes than anyone could ever want or need. So here are 18 memes to celebrate the dad in your life!

Anyone with kids will understand these parenting memes on a deep, spiritual level. We get you - raising offspring has to be one of the hardest jobs in the world and you get virtually no gratitude for it. 

Is it all worth it? We have no idea, we were hoping you would...

Get ready for probably the grossest news we've heard all year: rapper TI recently stated that he takes his daughter Deyjah to the gynecologist every year to make sure that her hymen is intact, ie that she hasn't lost her virginity. And get this: she's 18 years old and a freshman in college. Aside from the fact that she's legally an adult, that's a pretty huge breach of privacy.

Everyone on Twitter has been outraged over this news as they should be. 

C'mon TI, that's f*cking gross, man.

It may technically be the beginning of the week, but dear lord does it feel like we've been doing the 9-5 thing for an eternity. To help combat your Terrible Tuesday woes, we've put together this mix of triggeringly relatable memes and shitposts. It's said that laughter is the best medicine, and while these memes may not elicit a guffaw, they could inspire a light chuckle. 

To anyone parenting a toddler or otherwise young child - it will get better, just stick with it. Probably. Actually we don't know because we don't have kids. So godspeed to you and we hope that it does in fact get better with age. On the bright side, you can look forward to the day your kids move out of the house and you can get some goddamn peace and quiet, right?

This meme originally comes from an illustration created by Spanish cartoonist Joan Cornella. The rest of her work tends to lean toward less savory content, so the resulting memes seem to fit in just perfectly. Check out the rest of her work for yourself, and scroll down for some prime baby-yeeting content.
