We've got some of everything

The internet has a special place for just about everyone. It has this amazing ability to bring people together, and not just through the popular social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram. Meetup sites and apps, for example, are helping people connect with others who share their interests. It's pretty cool because they probably wouldn't have met otherwise. It's not easy to overcome the loneliness that many of us feel, so we have to give credit to those who put themselves out there. Now,…

Well, well, well. If it isn't our internet-addicted friends back at it again. If you've been avoiding ye olde Bird App thanks to the annoyingness of Mr. Elon Musk , or have simply never even composed a short and sweet tweet because the act is of no interest to you, look: we get it. The Twitter app, whether on desktop or our iPhone screen, can definitely be intimidating. It can even be downright unpleasant if you say the wrong thing in the wrong Twittersphere, or if you somehow end up in the Mus…

Brrrrr

There's a better way to mess around

Happy Hump Day!

I'm happy that I was lucky enough to enjoy the freedom of a long weekend . After all, a long weekend also means a short workweek. Which, to be frank, is how every week should be: four days long. While many progressive companies are adopting the four-day workweek as a means of improving the work-life balance of their employees, not everyone is fortunate to work for a company that prioritizes their workers. For the rest of us, these weeks are a joy, but often filled with extra work as a sort of c…

Not so serious

C'mon, get happy!

Is it just me, or has it been a long time since there's been a national holiday ? Martin Luther King Jr. Day was four months ago, and that's far too long to go without a long weekend. Long weekends give us the opportunity to unwind a little bit more than we would on a regular weekend. You might not be able to have a full-tilt vacation, but boy howdy, can you have a lovely staycation in those three little days! This weekend I'm going to be both fun and productive. I'm going to get my hair done,…

Reddit is a singular website

While I'm more clever in person than I may seem here, there are certain things I struggle with. It's hard for me to finish writing that I've started for myself. Long-form, I mean. I'm scared to commit to endings. That said, I also happen to struggle with really short form as well, namely tweets. As hard as I've tried to go viral for a funny observation about life or a silly anecdote, they kind of fall flat. Perhaps it's due to the high levels of self-deprecation . We may never know. Fortunately…

It's okay to be a little bit silly. It's even more okay to be such a foolish individual that you can barely be serious within our very serious society. I am one of those people, and being foolish and goofy has done nothing but bring joy into my life. In medieval times, kings and queens had jesters, also known as fools, that served as entertainment for the royal family. There were two different types of fools: artificial fools and natural fools. Artificial fools were typical jesters who used the…

Graphic design is not AI's passion

Greetings, cat lovers. There's not much I can say about our furry little feline friends that other people on the Internet haven't said before. That's especially true for our sister sites on Cheezburger. The truth is that cats rule everything around me. Some commenters razz me for my “sad cat lady” ways, but it doesn't get to me. I know that my cat obsession and self-deprecating humor are not particularly unique on the Internet. In fact, judging by the sheer volume of cat memes, articles, and pi…
