Few things get the internet heated up like controversial food preparation. It feels like we've been talking about pineapple on pizza since ARPANET's creation. Today's crime against food occurred in St. Louis, Missouri. Alek Krautmann rocked Twitter with a joyful announcement that he brought "bread-sliced" bagels in to work, and wowed his colleagues St. Louis style. The outcry has been...intense. From St. Louisians admonishing their brother, to horrified New Yorkers, people have a lot of feelings about this method. Even Dictionary.com and Panera weighed in. We're going to come out and say we are 100% against this method. How bout you?
twitter memes
We're often somewhat shocked by the creative dumbness we see on Twitter, and this ASCII meme makes us feel just that. The stomach-centric format riffs on the contents of ones stomach, or one's mother's - and mostly uses this to convey some seriously self-deprecating messages.
Literally any person who has been a student ever will remember the horrors of the scantron exam. If you aren't familiar for whatever reason, the scantron is a multiple-choice-style exam format that gets graded by a machine. People on Twitter have been meme-ing the scantron format by adding in their own sarcastic answers, and we're here for it.
There's nothing we like more than a super stupid meme, and "I'm baby" satisfies this love perfectly. The meme was inspired by a text message exchange between a mother and a babysitter regarding a home invasion back in 2017. Mom managed to get out "I'm baby. Call 911" and the screenshot went viral after popping up on Tumblr later that year. The text has become a pretty prolific shitpost, finally exploding this March on Twitter. People are using it for everything from selfies to self-deprecating tweets. Here are some of our favorites.
Trendy astrology app Co--Staris starting to get some heat from its loyal followers. The modern-looking answer to horoscopes is incredibly detailed - allowing you to connect and compare charts with your contacts. The Brooklyn-based app is well-loved, but its devotees are starting to notice that its push notifications are a bit savage, and when it doesn't feel like they're attacking you, the notifications are eerily vague. It was only a matter of time before people on Twitter began their parody memes. We're happy to report that they're pretty damn good.
Y'all remember the day the internet died? We do. Because it's still dead. It's been a rough day for social media freaks and social media dependent businesses alike. As of 6:30pm EST, Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp were all still dead. And the internet was absolutely freaking out. Privacy-concerned citizens can rest easy: Zuckerbery & Co. say that this outage is not due to DDoS attack. Seems like all we can do now is sit back, wait, and enjoy the memes.
This fresh Twitter meme is extra appropriate right now given the rising trend of the "witchy" aesthetic. You know, the people who dress in vintage clothes and practice Wicca? No judgment if that's what you're into - in fact, we think you might get a kick out of these memes that depict our hilariously hopeless desires!
Seems like we can't say the word "tea" these days without people thinking it's regarding some hot gossip or an even hotter take. Some enterprising Twitter users started this meme earliers this month, and in the spirit of spilling, we've collected all our favorite spicy ASCII-art tweets. They range from incredibly literal to moderately controversial, but they're all pretty damn funny.
This has been a very, very bad year for gender reveals. For those of us who think gender reveals are incredibly dumb, we're just raking in the proof. Late last year we saw a gender reveal fireworks display turn into a horrific wildfire. This year, we have gender reveal lasagna. We didn't think it was possible to make the word "lasagna" sound revolting, but Villa Italian Kitchen has managed to do that. The company announced their $140 catering package to figures in food media. They were all quick to mock the concept on Twitter. We hope for Villa's sake that there really is no bad PR. And we really hope that Waffle House doesn't decide to start making gender reveal waffles. Googlers won't know what hit them.
While stereotypes generally have negative connotations, there's something to be said about poking for at our lives and our selves. This trending Twitter meme does just that, with users riffing on their "greatest hits," basically the phrases that most frequently leave their mouths. The results are clever, relatable, and endlessly entertaining.
Some of your peers might hate on memes, but really that means they just don't understand them. They're pretty genius if you really think about it - they're relatable as all hell and they reference pop culture that literally anyone (who isn't living under a rock) can understand. That's pretty cool if you think about it!
It's not uncommon these days to see people begging for money on social media. Needy Twitter and Instagram users beg for a Venmo here and a Cash App there. But what are they offering in return? Nothing. This new Twitter meme, however, shows off 2019's business savvy. Instead of asking for handouts, users are instead offering to perform petty acts of revenge on your enemies, for the pretty price of $20. This is something we can get behind.
As the new year is about to roll in, it seems that much of Twitter is owning up to their bad habits and neglectful impulses. Most of us have the best of intentions, but when it comes to follow-through it's a whole different story. That's what these memes are all about.
You've all probably heard guys getting roasted for having a mattress on the floor, a single chair and a console in their rooms. The stereotype may be unfair, but it's officially spawned an addictive Twitter meme. Users are combining the text with photos of their favorite (and least favorite) figures and characters, as well as mixing in shots from their favorite television shows. The results, as expected, are pretty hilarious.
Remember the good old days? When we weren't glued to our smartphones, Instagramming every meal, or checking in wherever we went? Frankly, neither do we. But people swear that such a time existed. This meme pokes fun at all the near-luddites that are won't shut up about times without technology. We gotta hand it to these people, these takes (which incorporate both art and pop culture) are pretty damn good.
