We've all got moments where we learn something amazing or shocking for the first time. And full disclosure: not all of these "facts" are true, but we still found them amusing nonetheless, and we hope you will too.

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!

We're knee deep in "Spooky Season", and though there's no trick or treating to look forward to, people are still finding myriad ways to celebrate. From binge-watching horror movies to posting skeleton memes, the Halloween spirit is very alive on the internet. On Twitter, users have been flexing their creativity and humor with the hashtag #FakeScaryMovieFacts. It's pretty self explanatory: come up with a funny or dumb quip regarding your favorite bone-chilling film and then hurl it onto the timeline. While some of the tweets verge on cringe (cough politics cough). others showcase some serious wit. We've put all of our favorite examples here for your convenient perusal, but there's loads more to be found on Twitter. Enjoy the spooky fun while it lasts!

Just when you thought this year couldn't get any more unhinged, if you log on to Twitter right now, you'll find that 'Zoom Dick' is one of the top trending topics. And yes, it's pretty much what it sounds like. According to VICE, the New Yorker has suspended CNN reporter Jeffrey Toobin after he whipped it out during a Zoom meeting with his colleagues. Toobin claims the indecent exposure was accidental, believing his camera was off at the time. Yikes. 

Many on Twitter are lamenting the fact that we'll have to add 'Zoom Dick Incident' to the big, fat 2020 history books, while others are embracing the absurd event as a distraction from global pandemic, ceaseless wildfires, and electoral shit-shows. To be honest, we're pretty surprised something like this hasn't already happened at this point. Here's how people on Twitter are reacting to The Great Zoom Dick Incident of 2020.

Anyone else feel like their meme standards have taken a nose dive of late? Political fatigue and a general contempt for the world seem to have skewed our taste towards the very dumb. This past weekend we were graced by meme that easily meets this very low criteria. According to Know Your Meme, the trend began on 4chan, after a user shared a still of Paul Allen (Jared Leto) in American Psycho. The intentionally miscaptioned still reads  "Patrick, it's you!! You're the American Psycho?!!," to which another 4chan user replies "He didn't say that." After other users chimed in, the thread grew to over 100 replies. And now it looks like it made an impact in the memeosphere.

Following the 4chan thread, the format started to pop up on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Users seemed to be scrambling to create (and share) the incredibly stupid and easy-to-make memes. Even gamers got in on the joke, creating their own versions for releases such as Death Stranding and Final Fantasy. While it's hard to present these memes as the "best" of anything, they're pretty damn entertaining. Here's hoping we see more dumb and easy content in the coming months. This year needs all the help it can get.

If you've ever tuned into Evangelical Christian television, you're already aware of its inherently cringey qualities. But today we're here to offer up some vintage Christian cringe that feels like something right out of HBO's The Righteous Gemstones. The video comes courtesy of Twitter user @RebekaDawn, and it's an incredible spectacle of awkward snapping, dramatic beats, and some seriously goofy choreography. We've included the video below, along with some more wince-worthy Christian rap and some of the more clever and incredulous reactions. Our next move? Probably practicing these dances in the mirror.

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.

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise" - Socrates.

In other words, every single generation throughout history has thought that they were far better than the younger generation. Anyway, here are some memes and pics for people who long for the days of the '90s.

Dating someone can have its fair share of hardships, but once you meet the right person it's totally worth it. These memes convey both sides of the coin, and we think you'll find them highly relatable.

This whole quarantine thing is tough on literally everyone, but we really feel for the parents right now. You were used to your kids going to school all day, and now you're forced to be with them 24/7, and you have to home-school them. When will we all get a goddamn break?

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!

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 yet another hellish election, we'll take any break we're offered. We hope that holds true for you, too. 

Every pet-lover dreads the day they'll have to say goodbye to their furry friend. Well imagine the emotional rollercoaster of losing a pet and then getting them back again! @TalkingSchmidt recently tweeted about the time his family's cat was found dead...or so they thought. We won't spoil the surprise for you, but we were totally flipping out about the turn of events. Some of the hilarious reactions to @TalkingSchmidt's story deserve acknowledgement, so we've included our favorite replies from the twitter thread. 

If you spend way too much time on the internet like we do, you've probably heard about the 'flat earth' theory, but what do you know about dinosaur earth? Two years ago, an Instagram account called @dinosaurearth began posting memes that satirize the flat earth mindset and they've been going hard ever since. The concept is reminiscent of the first well-known internet trolls of belief systems, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The 'Dinosaur Earth Society' also have a Twitter account, where they often flaunt their rivalry with @FlatEarthOrg. As meme savants, we have deep respect for @dinosaurearth's dedication to throwing their spin on nearly every meme format in existence. We've put together twenty-one of the funniest @dinosaurearth posts for the (dinosaur) world to see. 

We've got a little bit of something for everyone in this hilarious mix of memes and tweets. We literally could not stop laughing through these top-tier gems as we repeatedly smashed that 'save' button. The whole experience was exactly like a good workout. Let's see how many memes you can lift! Sit back, relax, and scroll away.
