The internet is brimming with examples of bullshitters who state opinion as fact, make unwarranted declarations about their authority on a subject, and make up ridiculous rules about who has the right to enjoy or experience specific things. These people are called gatekeepers. The annoying gatekeeper is also known for putting others down for not suffering enough to warrant feeling unhappy with a shitty situation. Like if you're venting to someone about being exhausted after a 40-hour work week and they just mock you for not having worked 70 hours like them. r/gatekeeping is a good document of people who won't get off their high horse, even after someone points out that their horse is just a withered cardboard box. 

We've got a bunch of cringey and eye-roll inducing examples of groundless gatekeeping thanks to all the avid screenshotters out there. 

Bachelor producers dropped a huge bomb on fans when they announced that not one, but two of the contestants who had vied for Matt James' heart were chosen to be Bachelorette. Bachelor Nation was thrilled that the world would be able to see both Katie Thurston and Michelle Young go through their own public searches for love. Thurston's season premiered last night, and the two hours of insanity definitely lived up to her own wild entrance.

For those of you who may not remember, Katie was the contestant who marched up to Matt James and presented him with her vibrator, saying that she wanted him to take the place of her trusty quarantine companion. While Bachelor has been slowly ramping things up in the sex department (Windmill sex, anyone?) this was probably the most forwardly sexual entrance we've seen yet. That sex positivity has clearly carried over to Katie's season.

During the episode, Katie was very explicit in her desire for a partner who doesn't shy away from sex stuff - even adding that her family would be hard pressed to approve of a suitor who's shy about entering the bedroom. Judging by the episode's introductions, this attitude (and her vibrator stunt) influenced a lot of men to get incredibly dirty with their greetings. One contestant, Cody, even tried to one-up Thurston by presenting her with a blow-up doll, explaining that it was his answer to her vibrator.

For all the sexy talk, many fans on Twitter expressed confusion (and delight) that producers decided to stir the pot by throwing a conservative virgin into the mix. But that wasn't the only aspect of the show that got meme'd. Other goofy contestants got the meme treatment as well. While some were mocked (Connor, the wholesome math teacher who spent the evening in a cat suit), Greg Grippo seems to have stolen the hearts of Bachelor Nation's Twitter contingent. Greg, the youngest of four children, presented Katie with a very special gift - a pasta necklace made by his three-year-old niece. He was rewarded with a very aggressive makeout session. Maybe this is an instance in which the nice guy finishes first? Whatever his fate, all we know is that the craziness got us pretty pumped for next week's episode and the inevitable drama. These memes and reactions might get you pumped, too. 

Christianity has been a thing for about 2,000 years. It's only natural that the world's most popular religion would get meme'd to oblivion. We've rounded up some of the more dank Jesus-related memes that anyone, even atheists, are sure to appreciate. 

You don't have to be religious to appreciate this funny tweets regarding God's antics upstairs. From the creation of weird animals to marveling at the mess that He (or She) cooked up, these jokes are on fire. If you're interested in more fun Twitter content, check this out. 

Hanukkah has begun!

Whether you're socially distanced this holiday season or creating a safe little pod with loved ones, hopefully these hilarious Jewish memes and tweets will get you stoked to light that first candle.

Strap in folks, cause you're in for a wild ride. PhD candidate Laura Robinson took to Twitter to detail a totally ridiculous movie she watched with her husband. The movie, entitled Assassin 33 AD, has pretty much everything including time travel, machine guns, and a frat house in heaven. 

And the best part of this movie is that it isn't ironic at all. You can watch the trailer here if  you dare - it's really...something. But if you'd rather have a text rundown of the whole movie then scroll down. Godspeed.

Here's an interesting historical tidbit: "deus vult" was the war cry of the Crusaders during the First Crusade of 1095. Memers love these dank Crusade memes, and although we're not entirely sure how they came to fruition, we're glad for their existence. So scroll down to see some of 'em and head on over to Know Your Meme for tons more!

Unfortunately, Easter this year will be incredibly anti-climactic due to all of us being stuck at home in quarantine. We just hope these amusing memes will make your time marginally more bearable.
