Some mistakes were made this past weekend. What was supposed to be a chill day at the beach followed by a fun show in a basement turned into an all-out mezcal-soaked bacchanal that lasted until the sun was coming up. Unfortunately, I can't party like I used to, and I'm still feeling the consequences of my reckless actions. Whenever my brain isn't operating at the level I'd like it to be, I find it helps to take frequent breaks. The brain needs chill time to start working to its best ability, ev…

Happy Monday, friends, enemies, lovers, whatever! We would say that we hope your weekend was enjoyable, but time is a construct and right now, at the very end of the summer, it feels like we're living a pretty freaking Sisyphean existence. One of our only forms of respite is to try to distract ourselves from that terrible, painful truth, and to inject some joy and maybe meaning into the monotony before we head back to the grind. This weekend, at least in the United States, some of us have a lit…

Business as usual

Nowadays, it's increasingly challenging to find memes for the whole family. Ten years ago, wholesome memes comprised a much more significant portion of the meme ecosystem. Unfortunately, that's no longer the case. Now, so many memes you come across are either depressing, catastrophizing, or just plain rude. Extremely online people might not think there's a market for solely wholesome memes. However, they'd be wrong! I can't tell you the number of people who tell me, “I only want to use social m…

Memes love you. Memes will never leave you randomly one night without warning, never to be seen again. The memes you have stored on your phone will be with you for as long as you want, and they won't leave unless you ask them to. If you politely and amicably split with your memes, they will be cordial and respectful. Memes won't leave your phone in the middle of the night, go into the city doing God knows what with God knows who, and sneak back into your phone at 6 AM and think you won't notice…

They work

Just a scoop

As I write these words, a tremendous amount of shame is filling my body. You see, my aloe hasn't been watered in a very long time. Furthermore, I doubt that it has received much sunlight. It's on top of my dresser, hidden from the sun's rays because my cat thinks aloe is a delicious snack. This poor crispy, crunchy, parched plant was a gift from another Memebase editor, and I'm really not doing it justice. This is why I can't have nice things - plants in particular. Never will my apartment be o…

Getting reccomened meditation by a friend or a therapist feels kind of weird. It's like they know just by looking at you that you refuse to shut off your brain for even one second of your waking hours. They sniff you and think, “now this is a person who will consume media at an alarming rate just so they don't have to hear the thought bouncing through their head.” I've never really successfully done meditation because I struggle with taking it seriously. I'm supposed to not ruminate on any thou…

Just like you, these memes have nowhere better to be. Might as well make the best of this situation and keep each other company. These memes probably wish they were on a one-way ticket to the Bahamas right now. I mean, who doesn't? But instead they're here. Stuck on the internet. Condemned to a life of thankless servitude. At least you have a choice. You can log off right now if you really want to, but these memes are in it for life . Think about that the next time you comment “old” or “trash”…

And relax

It's strawberry flavored

Congratulations, friends. You have almost made it through a week of the agonizing responsibility of adult existence . Thanks to the impending freedom of the weekend, and my rejuvenating therapy session, it feels a little easier to bend over for the man and write stupid blurbs like this one. This extensive collection of memes was carefully put together with the goal of assisting you in your quest for amusement. A lot of the memes are our favorite brand of stupid. Some of them are surprisingly sm…

Behold

There's nothing more endearing than watching religious children try not to swear. They shout “son of a biscuit” after stubbing their toe. These kids have an endless diatribe of “fricks” that comes out of their mouths every day. This goofy censorship is one of the last great American dynasties. One of my favorite non-swear word is “gosh diddly darn." Aside from its obvious southern flair, the alliteration and the modification of “darn” with the far more silly “diddly” elevates this phrase to a p…
