What's up, meme freaks? It's "hump day" and we're back in the saddle and ready for action. If you're a tired soul who is looking for an escape from the never-ending cycle of pain, suffering, and existential dread, you've come to the right place.

Featuring a delightful assortment of absurdity, sarcasm, and general nonsense, these memes are sure to elicit a chuckle or two (or at the v…

Greetings, fellow internet explorers. Hope everyone has been having a better week than I am, grappling with the flu. I thought I'd be able to use this time to enjoy some alone time with my cats, but I was wrong. The walls of my cramped apartment have proven to be oppressive, and the selection of shows I have left to stream is dwindling. Though I'm usually happy to be horizontal for most of the weekend, cooking up something delicious and letting this brain rot more than it already has over the p…

Whether you enjoy having a little giggle at the past, or fact-checking nerdy history memes in your free time, we've got a bunch of funny stuff right here for dunces and history buffs alike. And they're all over the historical map. If you're into exposing the super-sus and sketchy actions of the CIA, there are memes for you. Prefer the World War II? You guessed it, there are memes about that, too. If you're into a more all-out style of conflict, the jokes here rely heavily on wars, even shouting…

Not so serious

Yikes.

Happy Sunday, everybody! People talk about the Sunday Scaries all the time. If you're unfamiliar, the Sunday Scaries are the phenomenon of feeling dread and fear every Sunday in anticipation of the coming workweek. You don't even get to enjoy one of the two days you have off because you're so dang nervous about the week ahead. I used to get the Sunday Scaries all the time in high school. Picture it: it's Sunday at 6 PM, you haven't gotten any of your homework done, and frankly, you don't want t…

Peep, Barbie, Kirby, you name it!

Getting up there!

"Oh, what a beautiful mornin'. Oh, what a beautiful day. I've got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way" I used to listen to that song, aptly titled 'Oh, What a Beautiful Morning,' every morning before school. It was my way of willing myself to have a good day. When you're a teenager, having an awful day is incredibly easy, and you have to try so hard to be happy. Listening to joyous songs about the morning was my way of getting in a good mood in case something horrible happened at scho…

We've officially reached part of the year that makes it entirely too difficult to get out of bed. While it's true that here in the Northeast the weather has been unseasonably warm, we're still feeling the effects of seasonal affective disorder, and we can't wait for the freedom of spring. Spring: a time when we can shed our millions of layers, realize how chunky we've gotten, and hate our lives in a slightly different way. For now, all I want to do is eat soup , and curl up with my cats and a g…

Greetings, internet travelers. A wise person once said that variety is the spice of life, and if that is true, our lives need some serious spicin'. Every day has started to feel the same, thanks to the dullness of routine and responsibility. If your brain feels similarly slow and spent from entering figures into another excel spreadsheet or catering to another annoying Karen , it's safe to say that you deserve a little relief from all this earthly pain. If wealthy people are allowed to go on ja…

It is not a crime to crave attention. But it is true that some people need it more than others. For some reason, when it's human adults who are behaving in a needy fashion, it's a lot more annoying than animals or, say, babies. My spoiled ass cat has moments where she'll literally be forcing her wee head into my busy hands for hours at a time. She's obsessive to be sure, but despite my frustration, I tolerate it. If it were a grown-up person? There's no way in the world that I'd submit to their…

I'm busy doing my cave allegory

I don't know about you, but I am equally fortunate and unfortunate to be old enough to remember a place and time before the good ol' internet. 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 comical. There's no denying i…

What up, what up? It's that time of the week again. Tuesday . While this day may be the most difficult of the week (no longer refreshed from the weekend, lots of weekdays left until freedom), its name does happen to have some interesting origins. Tuesday actually stems from Tīwesdæg, an Old English word that means “the day of Tiw.” Tiw was a Germanic god of war, similar to Mars, or Ares, if we're talking Roman or Greek mythology . Somehow it makes sense that we'd be offering up our weekly colle…

It's well-documented that alcohol is not exactly good for you. Sure, there have been numerous studies that red wine is good for the heart, or that it's good for the brain, or “keeps you young.” But I don't take those studies seriously. As an enjoyer of alcohol, and a temporary abstainer, I know the damage that booze can have on one's mental health, physical health, and relationships. In my case, it's been difficult to go without a stiff reward for a long day, or a couple glasses of wine while s…
