'When neighbors start talking, good things happen.' What might have seemed like a sensible slogan at the time, now feels more like the punchline to the fantastic accidental comedy of Nextdoor. We're eternally grateful for Twitter account @bestofnextdoor, who does a killer job documenting all the hilarious little moments that happen on the app and would otherwise stay in that context. Sometimes it's fun to elevate the minutiae and pettiness of everyday life. We' sure got a few chuckles out of this batch of Nextdoor gems. 

Ever see a meme or tweet that while cursed or coy, was actually 100% true? If not, we're happy to introduce you to r/technicallythetruth. The subreddit is jam-packed with clever, smug, and sometimes unintentional sentiments that can't be argued with. While they may not be revolutionary, and some of the memes might be dumb, they're pretty damn entertaining. We've put together some of their latest and greatest arguably true tidbits for your perusal.

If you like strange, nonsensical humor then you've come to the right place. The following sh*tposts are funny, but may leave you scratching your head. Click here for some more weird memes about internet culture!

Awrite meme-lovers! It's time for a hearty dose of Scottish Twitter. We've got a load of hilarious bangers from r/ScottishPeopleTwitter and @Scottish_Tweets—a real goldmine of crude jokes and puzzling slang. Fair warning: some of these tweets are heavy on the Scots, so unless you're from the Highlands, they might make you feel like a wee walloper. 

As you may have heard, today the 46th President of the United States was sworn into office. Sure, Joe Biden won the presidency, but Bernie Sanders won the internet today when he showed up in his iconic Burton winter jacket, a standard blue surgical mask, and huge woolen mittens made from recycled materials. In a sea of predictable black trench coats, Bernie really made a statement when he arrived clutching that manila envelop like he was stopping by the inauguration on his way to the post office. 

Unsurprisingly and with impressive haste, Twitter meme'd the hell out of Bernie's look every step of the way. We've collected some of the funniest Twitter memes and reactions to Bernie's whole inauguration vibe. Thanks for all the memes, Bernie.

Some insults are just so beautifully poetic that you can't even be mad about them. All you can really do is nod your head and say, "touche" while you stare off pensively into the distance. The following examples demonstrate flawless execution, grace, and poise and we certainly think they're deserving of our recognition!

It seems like a lot of people are having their old tweets dug up by internet sleuths these days - and usually because they are about to be canceled. But old tweets serve purposes beyond temporary or permanent ruination. Sometimes, they're weird and funny as hell. Whether they offer sentiments that aged poorly or are just very amusing shows of poor character, these old-ass tweets from celebrities are pretty much guaranteed to entertain. For more gems like these, give @oldtweets_ooc a follow. They're truly doing the Lord's work.

Ever look at at meme, tweet, or photograph and feel the urge to pour bleach in your eyes or invent a memory eraser to zap the poison from your brain? Yeah, us too. Turns out the internet is absolutely brimming with this kind of content. And while we can definitely call them disturbing or unsavory, the fact is that cursed images are, at the very least, far from boring. These memes and tweets are wonderful examples of content that makes you say "Thanks, I hate it." If they don't make you feel a little more alive, try sending them to your friends. It's always fun to pull people down with you. 

Wherever there are people minding their own business, trying to go about their stressful day, there's always a Karen lurking somewhere nearby, ready to make everyone's lives just a little bit harder. The retail world and service industry are no strangers to the obnoxious Karen who seemingly exists to abuse shift workers, and it seems like the plague has produced a new breed of Super Karens who complain to managers about anything and everything all while refusing to wear a face mask in the midst of a global pandemic. 

For the essential workers out there who have had to continue dealing with crazy ass Karens, these memes and posts are for you. Thanks to the internet, the evil-doings of Karens are now very well-documented, and so we can roast Karen from the safety of our own homes.

It's perfectly normal to decompress with a cocktail or beer (or three) but sometimes people take it too far. This can lead to, at best, a brutal hangover - or at worst, a hangover paired with the embarrassment of having done something extremely stupid while under the influence. These people are definitely fall into the latter category.

Rumors of Antifa being behind the January 6th storming of the capitol began almost as quickly as the Pro-Trump rally turned into an insurrection. Many far right conservatives and MAGA gangs seemed to immediately pass the blame to the anti-fascist group - much as they claimed Antifa was behind the BLM protests. Even though the FBI was quick to debunk the rumors, it seems that many followers of right-leaning mainstream media are still eager to deflect blame and weave more conspiratorial drama. 

While some of these believers will continue to swim in their seas of confirmation bias, others are apparently grapping with family members who won't stand for the BS. This viral video, in which a kid puts their mom on blast for her insistence that MAGA did no wrong, is a pretty great example of the latter. While it doesn't seem like they've changed their mom's mind, it's pretty entertaining to see mom struggle to explain something that's completely false. The reactions ain't bad either. 

Want to experience the satisfaction of short and sweet funny tweets without having to enter the absolute hellhole that is Twitter? Well, you're in luck. These relatable tweets and accurate takes come without the political BS that is so prevalent on the website where they were posted. As the country gears up for more pain, we'll take any break we're offered. We hope that holds true for you, too. 

If you're feeling like absolute shit about yourself, you're definitely not alone. All that self-loathing we perfected over the years went into overdrive after a few week of the pandemic. To help snap you out of that mindset we've put together this impressive collection of depressing and cringey moments from people who probably have it worse than you. 

We all remember being a kid, lazily looking through that musky 'Science 101' textbook with glazed-over eyes. Well, we might have missed out on a lot of great content while we weren't paying attention in class, and I'm not talking about equations. Scrolling through the novelty Twitter account 'Science Diagrams That Look Like Shitposts' is a truly delightful experience. Since the beginning of the year, @scienceshitpost has been sharing hundreds of snapshots that capture the very bizarre but otherwise innocuous charts, graphs, and illustrations in textbooks. The awkwardly cropped and often blurry photos immediately take on a meme-like quality when removed from their original context and dropped into rapid online circulation. It's only a matter of time before the memelords transform some of these images into the hottest new format.

We've collected forty-three of our favorite accidental memes from @scienceshitpost. These hilarious treasures made us regret neglecting that outdated chemistry book!

Andrew Yang has taken to the streets of NYC since the announcement of his 2021 mayoral campaign. His first stop was a spacious, pristine, well-lit convenience store that he featured in a video about supporting local bodegas. Anyone who lives in NYC knows that bodega discourse is a contentious subject for New Yorkers, and so it is unsurprising that Yang's message was completely eclipsed by the fact that he was not, in fact, in a bodega. 

The bodega warriors of Twitter wasted no time roasting Yang for the faux pas. Many tweeted photos of Whole Foods and CVS with the caption, 'on my way to my local bodega!' Sorry Yang, but no one wins in the bodega wars. We've collected some of the funniest reactions to Yang's viral Twitter video. 

Sure, Twitter has its drawback. Painfully bad takes, constant political debates, and weird K-Pop in-jokes seem to inundate our feeds. It can be hard to sift through the madness and enjoy the humorous commentary and comedy writing that we actually want to see. In the spirit of making everyone's lives easier, we've taken the funny stuff (both old and new) and put it all in one convenient place. So you don't have to see some all caps tweet about how masks don't work or another opinion about the storming of the Capitol.
