They say capitalism breeds innovation, but the need to spend extra time answering your smart dishwasher's product survey in order for the thing to function hardly feels "innovative." They say artificial intelligence is going to replace humans, but a pathetic little robot that needs a human to help it out of the snow doesn't seem very intimidating. And don't get me started on subscription-based features. Other than blatantly holding your car hostage, what's the point of a bluetooth-enabled key f…

Remember to drink responsibly.

About a year ago I deactivated Instagram for the sake of my mental health . It's crazy how much time these apps can take up if you're not careful. Scrolling aimlessly through one's infinite feed is addictive. It starts innocently: you plant your bum on the toilet and start tapping on Instagram stories of people you barely know, or scrolling past the boring posts from your married friends in the hopes of finding something funny. Before you know it, it's been an hour, your ass is numb, and you'll…

Memes are like an undefeated army of the internet's strongest soldiers fighting against boredom and sadness. Memes are like highly responsive antibodies that can identify and neutralize bad moods and negative vibes with impressive precision. Memes are like the surge of dopamine you get from an energizing workout session or a night of restful sleep. Memes are like a gift from a friend that you weren't expecting. Memes are a nice note from your teacher on an essay you worked really hard on. Memes…

If enough people have experienced a thing, chances are there's a meme for it floating around somewhere. Slept through your alarm this morning? There's about a million memes for that. Finished a video game's main storyline before promising that one NPC you'd help find his lost chickens? There's definitely a meme for that. Make a complete fool of yourself in front of your crush? You better believe there's a meme for that. Clogged the toilet at the local Applebee's because you were trying to dispo…

Sometimes you can find poignant wisdom and sage advice in the most unlikely places, like Persona 3 or Metal Gear Solid. Twitter account @VGAdvisor (Video Game Advisor) does an excellent job documenting all the amusing times video games were unexpectedly wise. Who knew important lessons about consent were woven into Mario & Luigi? Even more proof that video games are an underrated art form. We've collected some of our favorite examples from @VGAdvisor, but be sure to check out the account for mo…

When I was a kid I used to watch the same five movies on VHS over and over again. Jurassic Park, Mars Attacks, Independence Day, The Craft, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy (okay, that's three movies, but I'm counting it as one). Yes we had the internet , but as far as I was concerned, watching LOTR for the hundredth time was way more appealing than sitting around for several minutes waiting for the dial-up to do its thing so that I could continue downloading “track001artist0000_live_009281f7d…

If you were stranded on a desert island and you could only choose one form of entertainment to have with you, would you choose movies, books, or memes ? Most reasonable people would probably choose either movies or books, but hear me out for a minute. Out of these three options, memes are the only medium that doubles as a communication tool. Without getting too deep into this hypothetical scenario, we have to assume that access to memes comes with limited access to the internet—otherwise, how w…

If you've been staring at your wall for what seems like hours, unable to motivate yourself to even drink a glass of water, maybe it's time to snap out of it and treat your body to its most fundamental human needs. Instead of firing up the demonic bird app, eat a little healthy snack. Hydrate. Get some rest. When you've completed these primal tasks required for your survival, then and only then should you scroll through these dank memes . I don't know who needs to hear this, but the internet is…

The other day I was watching a movie about cave paintings, and the narrator kept referring to the ancient murals as “art.” It got me thinking—did Stone Age humans draw pictures on the walls of caves out of some inherent desire to artistically express themselves, or were they really just making prehistoric memes ? Think about it. Memes are essentially a visual language used to communicate an idea to lots of strangers, the point being mass consumption of the message rather than credit to the auth…
