Chicken soup for the posters soul

Having a sense of humor is an invaluable quality. You don't have to be a brilliant standup comedian to know that! Comedy is highly beneficial if you're weak in other social skills. How many times have you heard the story of the class clown who was able to gain the respect of their fellow students through their sense of humor? I was 100% that kid when I was in high school. I took this John Waters quote extremely literally when I was a teen, and in some ways, I still do! "Anytime you make someone…

Spoiler alert: it's not right now. For the past couple of years, we've felt like the end of the world as we know it was always right around the corner. Things kept getting worse, and not to sound too optimistic, but things have generally been improving since 2020. I really don't think we can or will have a worse year than that anytime soon. Even though the end times aren't right now, I have to wonder when it will be. And, more importantly, will we have memes? During the little moment we had in…

Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, there have been a fair number of changes to the site - most of which have been met with metaphorical foot stomping. In December, the billionaire announced that he intended to increase the site's long-running 280-character limit to 4,000. Needless to say, there was backlash. People felt that the increase defeated the purpose of Twitter: fast news. Well, on February 9th, the change went live - but only for paid Twitter Blue users. It's the first increase since 2…

I hate you, you hate me

I don't know about you guys, but I'm literally addicted to being a normal person. Every day (and it does happen that often), I get described as a bonafide normie. It is music to my ears. I can't get enough of it! Being normal is so socially rewarded , and I'm always ready to receive that participation trophy. Most of us are in denial about being normal, and that's okay! We like to believe that when we fall on the bell curve, we fall all the way to the right, but that's not true. We are probably…

Time travel media often portrays every choice you make as intrinsically connected to how your future life will go down. Every day, you make a million little choices, and if you don't make one in a particular way, your future self is irrevocably changed. I feel like this is true for very few minor choices you could make, like the first time you hang out with your future best friend or the time you decide not to jaywalk and save yourself from becoming the victim of vehicular manslaughter. I doubt…

If you have yet to be blessed by the hilarious delight that of Scottish Twitter and Scottish memes, nae bother because we are serving up a great big selection of highly entertaining tweets and memes that will give you a taste of some pure Scottish wit. It's truly in a league of its own. Sometimes Scottish tweets can be a bit hard to understand - that's because Scots is a language all its own. Fortunately for us, we can usually piece together the meaning when using phonetics. But the best part i…

Robin Hood was a pretty cool guy. He stole from the rich and gave to the poor, and he had a fraternity of merry men following him all the time. This man had a network of support that I find enviable. He is also skilled at archery, making him a well-rounded hot athlete. What can't this man do? I admit that the only Robin Hood movie I've ever seen is Robin Hood: Men in Tights . I never watched the Disney version for one reason and one reason only: I know the Mel Brooks adaptation is superior. I w…

I discovered sarcasm at an early age. I vividly recall discussing the definition of the word with a fellow second grader, and we determined that sarcasm was “saying something nice in a mean way.” We were pretty on the money, but Merriam-Webster describes it as follows: Sarcasm refers to the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say, especially in order to insult someone, or to show irritation, or just to be funny. Not everybody gets sarcasm. When you have a Saharan dese…

Do any minorities in the wizarding world have normal names?

People who don't go to standup shows think that standup comedy is an incredibly cool art form. These fools believe that only the most hilarious and intelligent people can do standup, and anybody who does it must be a comedic genius. Luckily for them, they are 100% incorrect! Standup comedy shows are breeding grounds for humiliation and failure. Most of the people who do standup are not very good at it. If you ever want a surefire way to feel good about yourself, go to an open mic in a midsized…

Congratulations, internet user. Somehow, through sheer motivation, or perhaps, more realistically, resignation, you have made it to the end of the week. How does it feel? If it doesn't feel like something that should be congratulated, then you're right with us. We didn't consent to being born, and we certainly didn't consent to an existence that makes us feel like we've accomplished some grand task. Life shouldn't feel like an endless cycle of suffering with tiny breaks in between, and if we ar…
