If you've spent any time on Twitter (or the ‘bird app' as we like to call it) then you know that not all tweets are created equal. Most of the material that people see fit to catapult into the Twitter abyss is either cringe worthy , offensive, or and maybe even both. There's also a wealth of tweets that are so basic they actually make us angry. You know what we're talking about. Those tweets that go viral on the site have either already been tweeted a zillion times or offer up banal sentiments…

It feels like more and more people who are well into adulthood are realizing that ADHD might be the real reason they spent years of struggling to focus, maintain hobbies, or even succeed at having relationships. Hell, it took 31 years for me to get diagnosed because I have ADHD and depression . Newsflash: ADHD isn't just being hyperactive or daydreaming and getting distracted. It's a bit more complex than that. The truth is that everyone gets sidetracked occasionally, especially with how brutal…

Heads up: I'm a millennial. As a small child I used to play in the dirt, create morbid stories starring my American Girl Dolls, and play old Star Wars games on the family PC. Memes didn't exist, and I didn't have access to the internet. Many Boomers take pride in the fact that their means of entertainment were extremely analog when they were youths, but I don't. It's actually my belief that memes would have enriched my younger days. I mean, it's obvious that being exposed to memes as a kid woul…

I don't know about you, but I am both fortunately and unfortunately old enough to remember a place and time before the world wide web. A simpler time, a time when you had to find humor in joke books, terrible TV sitcoms, inside jokes with old pals, the funnies, and good old fashioned farts . When I was a child, my insane friends and I would invent strange and completely nonsensical words and repeat them over and over again until the gibberish finally became hilarious. There's no denying it: we'…

If one thing is true about the folks here at Memebase, it's that we are firm believers in the fact that people shouldn't need to feel guilty when you want to look at memes or mess around on their phones. Life is short and often thankless experience. We are worked to the bone and then granted tiny scraps of time to “enjoy” while we can. Scraps of time that end up being devoted to exhausted binge-watching or, even worse, our endless lists of chores. If you want to spend your lunch break scrolling…

Happy Friday, friends and enemies. If you have been feeling anything like I am, then life must be feeling a whole lot like groundhog day. As I've sworn off many of my vices since the pandemic's start, every day just seems…the same. Even our beloved Fridays. Welcoming chaos into my life, whether in the form of alcohol, drugs, or dating, seems to have had a purpose: staving off boredom. As I struggle with the sameness of existence, and another shitty day at my shitty job, I must take comfort in t…

Regret is a painful emotion. And as you get older, it always seems there's more to feel regretful about. There are loads of memes about being in the shower and thinking about the comebacks you could have used against that annoying coworker, or perhaps your mortal enemy. But that kind of regret is nothing. I, personally, have been having a hard time thinking about all the hours I've spent nursing drinks at the dive bars where my friends work. I'd offer to help them close in exchange for cheap dr…

Plant people are a special breed. It's true that I admire their ability to nurture and care for a living thing that doesn't wail, meow, or bark when hungry. But I have a bit of resentment toward them, too. It often seems like their money-spending habits (when it comes to their hobby) aren't publicly chided enough. Why is it irresponsible for me to spend all my “extra” money on food and clothes, but honorable for them to spend that same dough every weekend at the plant store? I call foul. As muc…

Portland comedian @jayshingle is the mastermind of the bizarre and eerily depressing " Ordinary People Memes " Instagram account. The memes pair incredibly banal text with photos of, well, very ordinary people - and the results range from amusingly relatable to slightly dark and lonely. We hesitate to refer to them as a commentary on the volume of inanely basic tweets and memes , but they're definitely a weird palate cleanser after scrolling through pandering low-effort content.

Happy Friday, friends, enemies, lovers, frenemies, acquaintances, best buds, BFFS, loyal followers, and rivals. We hope it treats you well. As meme collectors and internet experts, our work days aren't supposed to be bad. Imagine the disbelief people express when I say that making a living by enjoying and distributing memes is less than desirable. Sometimes it's downright miserable. Having to hit higher wordcount expectations, write more content, and create time where there isn't any are just s…

Who knows how we did it, but once again we find ourselves just past the beginning of a brand new week. The days and dates might be arbitrary markers, but the whole annoying situation of being alive certainly is not. It is very important to find ways to make everything more bearable, and that is where the beautiful business of memes comes in. Few things brighten the endless slog of existence like a super sized serving of extra dumb humor , so why not take a scroll through this latest offering? I…

Cats are one of the most remarkable animals ever invented. I didn't grow up with a cat myself, but I was a massive fan of the most famous cat in the world, Garfield . Garfield is a cat with no job, and yet he hates Mondays. He loves lasagna, sleeping, and being a menace to everyone he meets. As I grow older, I'm becoming much more of a Garfield than I used to be. When I was a baby, I was Odie: a creature who couldn't speak but is just happy to be alive. When I was a kid, I was Nermal: young and…

Tipping is a strange, yet highly normalized custom in American culture. Do you ever stop and wonder about the origins of gratuity in America? The history is pretty damn dark . Nevertheless, tipping workers for their service is deeply embedded into our society and it isn't going away, unless of course, employers start to pay service workers adequately. This r/antiwork post about how a restaurant decided to cut wages because workers were making too much in tips makes us think that's not going to…

Free your mind and the memes will follow.

A lot of folks, regardless of their level of medical training , like to claim that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. But here's the thing: we're not the biggest fans of apples. They can be mealy. They can be flavorless. Honestly, we prefer overpriced green juice that contains more sugar than you actually want to know - and tastes about as good as eating grass. So basically, we are of the opinion that looking at funny memes is a better cure for any illness, mental or physical. The whole appl…

In a famous story from Douglas Adams' book So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish , the protagonist Arthur recounts a time he sat down at a table to enjoy a coffee, newspaper, and packet of biscuits he'd recently purchased at a shop. To his horror, a man sitting across from him grabbed the packet of biscuits, tore it open, and started eating them. Instead of saying anything, Arthur passive-aggressively reached into the packet and took what was rightfully his, hoping the man would get the message.…
