I was never one of those kids who was obsessed with reading . I was a fan of child pulp fiction books (Magic Tree House, Junie B. Jones, The Babysitters Club, etc.), but I never identified as a bookworm. I was known to fabricate entries on my reading log, and I was not ashamed of it. My reading-neutral stance was mostly because I never found books I really fell in love with, but it was also related to my disdain for kids who bragged about reading at a college level. Even in my 4th-grade mind, I…

Let's be real for a second…consuming memes typically does not take a lot of brain power. Sure, some of them have words, but most have such a negligible amount of words that reading them barely counts as “reading.”

Please no, not again...

Dinosaurs might have gone extinct, but Dino memes are forever.

Oh hell no

The internet is full of strange oddities that are unparalleled. Where else can you find footage of crazy Karens , TikToks documenting frog armies , and of course, memes . Memes are the things that make all of the incomprehensible weirdness that festers on the internet actually make sense. If you are dumbfounded by something happening online, you're sure to find a meme that can explain it. Sometimes, the meme itself is the part that doesn't make any sense, but we refined meme consumers find a wa…

Tumblr might seem like an outdated platform to the millennials who abandoned their blogs several years ago, but Tumblr still exists and it's thriving (even without your highly aesthetic sea foam-tinged vaporwave gifs). If you know where to look, there's plenty of gold to be mined from the depths of Tumblr . We've rounded up some of the best posts, funny comments, and shower thoughts for anyone who can't be bothered opening the site.

The internet is kind of wild. At this very moment, all across the globe, there are people like you, hunched over their laptops and/or phones, trying to pass the time. Some of them are reading this article, too. The cool thing about this is that somewhere, somebody is typing up a super-specific sentiment, or a terribly inconvenient and cursed truth, and is about to share it to the whole of Tumblr . Sometimes these posts contain strange and warnings, like the first entry in this list, which invol…

I was never a person of the horse girl experience. That might come as a surprise because I grew up in Texas and everybody know that kids in Texas ride horses and cattle to school. But alas, I could never muster the earnestness and sensitivity that lives inside the heart of every horse girl. Horse girls are a social category that extends through the generations. Every one of us, no matter our age, definitely went to elementary school with a girl who loved horses and could not properly socialize…

1001 [Blanks] You Must See Before You Die is a gimmick book series that I cannot get enough of. It includes titles such as 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die and 1001 Albums You Must Listen To Before You Die. As a child, my favorite book was 1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die. As much as I loved reading them, these books ask a lot of you. Seeing every single one of these paintings and reading all of these books, they truly will take somebody a lifetime to accomplish. I recently mad…

Fun fun fun

Do you ever think about how the most important documents of your life are probably locked away in some filing cabinet somewhere? If somebody put a gun to my head and asked me where my birth certificate was, you'd be preparing my death certificate soon afterward. There used to be a time when you literally had to print out everything. If there was a recipe you liked online, you had better print it if you wanted to avoid taking multiple trips to the family computer room while cooking. The printer…

Every day you consume things. Unless you are sitting in a dark room with no technology because you're recovering from a concussion or you're a deeply neglected child (and if you're either of those things, I'm terribly sorry), you consume stuff with your eyes and other less important senses every day. You see buses, Comedy Central sitcoms that got canceled after three seasons, and God . Just kidding about that last one, unless you're highly advanced, or you're that person suffering from that con…

As you move through this world, you will meet some divas with such an insatiable zest for life that it's hard even to conceptualize what it's like to live inside their brains. This attitude can be cute…until it is annoying. There's a delicate balance between having a genuinely positive attitude and trying to force niceness into every situation despite its appropriateness. The latter option is passive aggression, the most toxic positivity man ever invented. If you don't take it too far, having a…

I don't believe in the divine rights of kings, but I do believe in the divine rights of memes.
