Memes are one of those things that are easy to accept into your heart. Whether hilarious, disgusting, life-affirming, or otherwise, memes come and go so quickly, making them a ubiquitous part of our everyday lives. You might see a meme one day and never see it again as long as you live. On the other hand, some memes stay with you forever and ever despite your desire to let them evaporate into the annals of your subconsciousness, never to be seen again. One of the best things about memes is that…

Happy 4th of July ! 245 years ago the United States declared independence, and it's been a party ever since. Independence Day is one of the best holidays for barbeques, fireworks, and ugly Old Navy t-shirts. One of the best parts of the 4th of July is foraging for a place to watch the fireworks. In every city and town in America, this is a blood sport. People claim their territory for firework viewing a full 72 hours before the festivities even begin. My personal favorite part of the 4th is tho…

Not all websites are straightforward beacons of great content. With many forms of social media, whether Twitter , Tumblr, or Reddit , it sometimes feels like it takes years of feed curation to get to the good stuff. Who and what are you supposed to follow to find the good content on those platforms? I've found that following people with similar tastes but some notable quirks or personality traits you don't necessarily relate to is ideal. When I was on Tumblr as a kid, I followed a bunch of peop…

The ability to create an ambiance is an essential skill at this point. When everything seems to be falling apart around you, it's necessary to be at least able to listen to a curated playlist to make you feel like a calm human being with super stable emotions. That's why the Lo-fi Beats To Study and Relax To girl is such an inspiration to me. She is a hard worker who is unphased by the chaos, madness, and confusion of the world around her. She can study and relax simultaneously, and I deeply re…

Being “random” used to really get you places in society. In the 2000s, randomness was a socially currenency the likes of which we had never seen before, and will probably never

It's nice to participate in the simple pleasures in life once and a while. Sure, these things might not be expensive or high class or highly memorable, but they add a little extra something to your day to make it stand out. So often, our days feel like they're running together, one day looking practically identical to the rest. When you're living for the weekend, making the week feel like it counts as a part of your actual life can be challenging. Incorporating little unique things into each da…

It's not much, but it's what we have.

Old McDonald had a farm, EIEIO. And on that farm, he had some memes EIEIO. Well, we've got plenty more memes where that came from. Old McDonald may have had an oink-oink here and an oink-oink there, but he did not have an extensive list of side-splitting animal memes. Sure, Old McDonald might've posted some memes (that he printed out) onto the side of the barn, but the only ones who saw them were the cows, the chickens, and the common house cat. Here, we've got memes for all animal fans. Are yo…

Random tweets, games, bumper stickers, anime, your toddler, etc.—sometimes you just get smacked in the face with words when you least expected it.

Tumblr's hey days are long gone, but this TikToker is reminding people why it used to be Internet gold and still can be.

Being a Harry Potter fan isn't the easiest these days. It's true that I have fond memories of blasting through ever long book, waiting in line for releasees at Barnes & Noble, and even joining a sorting community on LiveJournal. Even as a proud Ravenclaw, I take great issue with JK Rowling's incredibly vocal stance on trans women. Instead of abstaining from the series altogether, we prefer to enjoy Harry Potter-related content that comes from other sources - namely, meme makers and Twitter user…

Think of something. Anything, really. There's probably a fanfiction about or featuring whatever popped into your mind. For example, we just googled “coffee table fanfiction” and got some ludicrous results involving a character named Lamp and his lover, Hamegg. And that's nowhere near the strangest fanfiction we've seen over the years. As a teenager, I was partial to fan-written stories about my favorite band at the time, The Strokes. They'd get it on with the members of other bands that were po…

As a sufferer of clinical depression and the unrelenting cynicism that comes with it, it's difficult to make me smile or laugh. Sure, puppies are cute. Yes, memes are funny. But these things just don't do it for me. I look around at other people - normal, serotonin-having people - and envy their hearty laughs at restaurants and the smiles plastered on their faces during the hectic commute. I'm not about to ask what the hell they're drinking or smoking. Instead I silently envy the ease with whic…
