Jamie Brew's Botnik Studios has become internet famous after sharing their incredible AI-generated Harry Potter fanfic yesterday. The piece, which amounts to a small chapter, was created using predictive keyboards that had been fed all 7 books in the original Harry Potter series. The resulting text is impressively hilarious - and has caught the attention of many, many people on Twitter. 

If you want to create something similar of your own, Brew has released the Harry Potter keyboards for both dialogue and narration. Happy "writing"!

We've got some seriously bad news for fish-lovers. According to a report from nonprofit Oceana, over 20% of 449 fish that they tested were mislabeled, exposing some pretty serious "fish fraud." This is a staggering percentage, especially when considering that less than 1% of fish is tested for fraud. There's a huge chance that the expensive fish you're ordering while dining out is cheap - or even, according to this related Twitter thread from a biology professor, dangerous. There are fish out there that will hurt you to eat. And, as @AwesomeBioTA's class discovered, some of this "fish" is almost too disgusting for words.

Former Toronto Sun Editor Lorrie Goldstein claimed in a tweet that no "SJW" would be able to explain the actual science behind climate change. He was in for a significant amount of embarrassment when Writer and Content Strategist Karen Geier replied to the tweet with a whole arsenal of facts and evidence.

By the way, what believing in climate change has to do with being an SJW, we'll never know...

Lo and behold, we found some cringey flat-earth memes in the wild for you to facepalm at! It's like Christmas! And yes, these people are being completely serious in case you were wondering. 

If you're feeling up to temporarily losing faith in humanity, you can always visit the official Flat Earth Society website, or #FlatEarth on Instagram. Don't say we didn't warn you of the impending cringe.

Checkmate, scientists.

As reproductive rights are being stripped from women in Alabama and Missouri, many women are coming out to discuss their experiences with abortion and reproductive health. After reading this Twitter thread from @brownandbella, we are starting to think that we need to talk not only about the right to choose, but about the state of sexual education in the United States. These astounding shows of ignorance are definitely proof that something needs to change. We might be chuckling at some of these tweets, but reality of it all is pretty frickin' dark.

...And no, it's not Pluto (RIP). Researchers have found evidence that there may very well be a ninth planet, aptly named "Planet Nine" or "Planet X," in our solar system that's about the size of Neptune. 

The catch? No one has been able to find it. Yes, you read that correctly. This hypothetical planet is so far away that it takes between 10,000 and 20,000 earth-years for it to complete a full rotation around the sun.

Sadly, no scientist has been able to concretely prove the existence of such planet; they've simply predicted its existence based off of the similarly peculiar orbits of several objects in the Kuiper belt.

Still, we're going to hold onto hope that Planet Nine exists because that's just straight-up cool as hell.

The whole concept of prehistory is pretty surreal if you ask us - it can be easy to forget that modern humans really haven't been around for all that long in the grand scheme of things. Dinosaurs and all of the bizarre creatures that lived millions of years ago are fricking fascinating to learn about, but also let's be thankful that they're not around today...

HBO's Chernobyl is probably the network's most popular offering since Game Of Thrones' controversial series finale. The bleak miniseries is an in depth look at the real-life nuclear disaster in modern-day Ukraine. The series is understandably dark, and memers have been taking the difficult themes and lightening them up with witty memes as well as incredibly dumb shitposts. Here are some of the best we've seen so far. 

And find some more Chernobyl memes or check out some eerie Chernobyl pics from the nuclear plant itself after it has be abandoned for so many years.

We know there are a lot of stupid people in this world, but sometimes you just have to marvel at their handiwork. At the very least, these morons make us feel better about ourselves.

This meme dump has got it all: arguably dumb shitposts, relatable memes, and then we've got the memes for the philosophers and history buffs. If there isn't something here for you then we seriously have to question your sense of humor.  

Elon Musk had some fun recently trolling the Flat Earth Society - asking why there is no "Flat Mars Society". The group bizarrely shot back that Mars has been observed to be round. Seems legit. To expunge ourselves of that stupidity, we've rounded up a few of our favorite flat earth memes to help you troll in Musk's footsteps. 

Get more science-busting flat earth memes or turn it up a notch with some dank flat earth memes. And if you really want to never question your planet's roundness again, then be sure to check out these Flat Earther Facepalms on eBaum's World that will really make you wonder what they are thinking. I really, really, really hope they are just trolling us or trying to.

Y'all heard about these fiery black hole pics that dropped today? The National Science Foundation wowed the world with a press release this morning, showing off the first ever images of a black hole. Memers, naturally, could not resist the opportunity to make repetitive jokes (Sauron), predictable jokes (goatse) or dry political jokes (Brexit). We've put together some of our favorites so you don't have to scroll through one million shitty pics of the Eye of Sauron. You're welcome.
