A special place

If you think Twitter's a hellsite, you've got a big storm coming

There's a lot I miss about being a college student. It was a transformative period in my life. I spent years studying a field that I'm passionate about, met a lot of wonderful people, and figured out what I wanted to do with my life. That being said, I do not miss essays, exams, or randomized group projects in the slightest. I can't imagine the amount of stress that individuals pursuing a graduate degree or Ph.D. face. I could hardly handle my last few semesters of undergrad. You're telling me…

What's the most cringe-worthy thing you've ever seen out in the wild? Like as an immediate witness. Surely, you have at least one experience that was so cringe that it's seared into your memory, right? Maybe you saw someone's prom-posal go terribly wrong? Maybe someone trying way too hard to be cool? Maybe just a really bad presentation by one of your peers? For me, it was the weird kid in middle school who performed his original rap at the talent show. It was a diss track of sorts, but you cou…

There's nothing better than finding a meme that tickles your fancy when you're in a bad mood . Busy day at work? Check out this relatable cat meme. Relationship issues? Here's a relationship that could make things either better or worse, but at least it'll make you laugh. That's the beautiful thing about memes. They provide incredibly brief but meaningful distractions to our everyday life. They're the perfect band-aid for an unfortunate day. Where would our society be without funny memes? Don't…

There are a lot of times I miss the bygone era of mid-2000s internet culture. That era where you really had to seek out memes and there was a greater sense of community in it. That's definitely just nostalgia speaking, but hopping on an internet forum or message board for solely meme-related purposes. Those experiences and those incredibly expensive and scammy phone meme websites . Remember racking up a huge phone bill just because you wanted a LOLcat as your flip phone background or a Pokemon…

Trying to obtain the bare minimum required to live is a near-impossible task when you're below the line of poverty. Unfortunately, there are way, way too many jobs that are happy and more than willing to pay you next to nothing . As is the case with many of these sorts of positions, these jobs are menial, mind-numbingly boring, and managed by cruel individuals. The subject of today's story was a worker at a grocery store deli, earning only 12.5 dollars per painstaking hour. As most of us would…

Meta has officially launched its Threads app. Created as a clear and intentional Twitter competitor, the new platform has shaken up the internet. It seems Threads has come at the perfect time. A lot of people, myself included, have grown a bit tired of the constant shakeups on Twitter. The Elon Musk acquisition and his variety of non-sensical platform changes have only managed to damage the social media site. So it's a pretty easy decision to at least check out the app. Perhaps, it will prove i…

If I was living anywhere besides a small apartment and if I was anything besides broke, I would absolutely love to own a canine companion. The last two dogs I lived with were two of the best animals that I've ever had the pleasure of taking on walks while my roommate is at work. Having a dog is just so perfect for moment-to-moment mood enhancement . Feeling lonely? Hang out with the dog. Antsy? Take the dog to the park. Want something to cuddle? Go ahead and hug the dog. Of course, it's not alw…

Meme makers are some of the most selfless individuals on this planet. They put in the effort: they find the image, they think of something funny and/or relatable, then they go on to create the meme itself. The thing is most of these content creators know that the meme they have just made now belongs to the internet . They can put a watermark on it or post it on their personal page, but once that meme reaches the online public it's just a fact that it will be shared without credit. Meme creators…

What would you do with limitless money? Imagine, one day you decide to buy a Powerball ticket on a whim, don't think much of it, and then wake up to find out you've won the jackpot. You now have more money than you could possibly comprehend. What's the first thing you'd do? What's your greatest fantasy? Now think about people who actually have that sort of money. What would you fantasize about when everything you ever want is already at your fingertips? People gave their two cents on this idea…

Have you ever considered how much time you spend looking at memes ? Not even intentionally, but just how much you're exposed to memes. I can't say an exact figure, but I'd argue that I spend at least half of my waking hours exposed to the things. They're everywhere. Not just on Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media. You're seeing memes crammed into just about every form of media. Not even just in media format! Your friends, family, and colleagues are directly referencing meme content. Ma…

This may be hard for some people to believe, but millennials weren't always the weary, depressed, broke people lined up to order the latest take on avocado toast or specialty coffee beverages. Nay, we were once young and full of life and hope. Just kidding, we were once young and battling an incredibly toxic culture surrounding body image that seemed to come at us from all angles. While the thin and sickly “heroin chic" look had fallen out of style by the mid-nineties, slimness was still the ph…

What ever happened to just asking for a girl's number?

They keep on coming

What makes a good meme? Does it have to be funny? Relatable? Visually striking? Maybe a combination of all the above? The remarkable thing about memes is that none of those qualifiers matter. Beauty is in the eye of the memeholder. What may be the least funny thing one person has ever seen could be the most downright hysterical piece of work the next person has seen. That's just how memes work. There's something out there for everyone. While we strive to provide you all with what we find to be…
