When you name your child Christopher, you must make a critical decision. You have to choose whether you are going to resign him to a life of normalcy with the nickname "Chris" or if you're going to make him a superstar with the nickname "Topher." The choice you make could change the entire trajectory of your child's life. If you've been scrolling through TikTok recently, you've probably seen more memes than you can count starring a little boy named Topher. He rose to TikTok fame after a clip of…

It's been going on for days

Nobody wants to be nervous all the time. Nothing is more fraught than feeling uneasy in every one of your social relationships. Anxiety might be a fairly common affliction, but that does not make it suck any less. If it gets bad enough, you might become a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown . I haven't seen that movie, but if I had to guess, I'd guess the titular woman suffers from anxiety. For me, the best ways to fight anxiety have been with meds and therapy, simple as that. In therapy,…

Listen, I know that TikTok might appear to be the work of pure evil for the uninitiated. After all, any social media platform primarily populated by teenagers is bound to include some insane hot takes that possibly should've never seen the light of day. I do think that young people, particularly minors on TikTok, need to learn that it's okay not to share graphic and insanely personal details about their lives online. In fact, I might even highly recommend they not do that. Your middle school co…

How far would you go to avoid aging? Most of us have at least some semblance of a skincare routine , while others break the bank on various exfoliators and lotions and goos. If you're really terrified at the prospect of getting lines on your face, you might invest in botox or even a facelift. No matter what lengths you'll go to to look young, you probably haven't gone as far as skincare influencer, Isabelle Lux . Along with an intensive beauty and skincare regiment, Isabelle Lux has quite liter…

If you've ever been around children , you know that every kid is somehow exceptionally filthy. They run around all day, eat with their hands, roll in the dirt, and stick their fingers in their mouth. Basically everything about children leads you to believe that they are the grossest demographic around. Young kids are at that tender age where they need the adults in their lives to instruct them on how to not be the most disgusting filthy pigs in the world. Unfortunately, some parents are too inc…

Lea Michele can't read. At least that's what everybody has been aledging about the former Glee star for the past couple of years. The conspiracy theory began when a YouTuber made an hours-long conspiracy video documenting his theory that Lea Michele never learned to read. The illiteracy rumors have recently increased in popularity since Lea Michele was cast in the Broadway musical Funny Girl. She began her run as Fanny Brice on September 4th but sadly tested positive for COVID soon afterward, f…

If you've been online at all over the last couple of days, you've probably seen that there's been some controversy surrounding the upcoming live action adaptation of Disney's The Little Mermaid. The casting of singer Halle Bailey has caused a lot of outrage from people who are vehemently against a the inclusion of a Black Ariel in the canon. In response to the racist backlash towards Bailey, many mothers have been recording their children's reaction to the trailer, finding that most of them are…

The lines between reality and fiction are becoming more blurred as newfangled technology rears its head. I remember when deepfakes first came out, and seeing merely experimental videos utilizing that technology was frightening. Deepfakes essentially marked the beginning of an era of the internet where we knew that anyone, anything they said, and anything they did could be completely manufactured and fake. It was only a matter of time before deepfake or fully virtual celebrities emerged. The mos…

Who says that TikTok cannot be the arena for devastating psychosexual melodramas? Many haters have derided TikTok videos as vapid nonsense with no value whatsoever. The viral TikTok account Sylvanian Drama is all those things but is simultaneously one of the funniest series to hit the internet in a long time. Sylvanian Drama features various Sylvanian Families toys going through harrowing life experiences. They deal with eating disorders, alcoholism , bullying, sl*t shaming, fatphobia, murder,…

Guys of all ages can be kind of clueless about women's bodies. I know a guy who thought women could hold in their period blood as one holds in their pee. It's not necessarily men's fault when they know so little; Sex education programs have been cut for decades, and even when men start getting with women, a lot of basic information can simply slip under the cracks. However, one would think by the time a guy is married, he would be a bit more knowledgeable about the female anatomy. Unfortunately…

If you've never heard of Andrew Tate, congratulations! You're either over the age of 16 or not on TikTok , either of which are equally admirable accomplishments. If you are both, even better! Andrew Tate has blown up in a Jordan Peterson-esque manner, catapulting his online presence seemingly overnight. For those who are no longer dependent on our parents, the question remains: who the hell is this guy? Andrew Tate is a former professional kickboxer and Big Brother UK contestant. He was removed…

If you've been online at all since 2015, you have likely encountered discourse about gender and dating that is, at best, kind of strange and, at worst, explicitly violent. These micro-discourses can be summed up with the all-encompassing phrase, “The Gender Wars.” Now, if you're a normal person and not extremely online, you might wonder what that is. According to a most reliable source, The Gender Wars occur when “you have women pushing the narrative that all men are misogynistic, cheaters, abu…

The Lorax (2012) is one of the most memed movies of the past 10 years. If you're thinking, “what? I've never seen many Lorax memes before?” you're one of the lucky ones.

The only phase of life where being chubby is socially accepted as a positive thing is infancy . Once you stop being young enough to carry, being thin is societally enforced with an iron fist, with anyone who doesn't fit into that mold being endlessly criticized for their size. It makes sense that we make an exception for fat babies in such a fatphobic society. After all, nobody wants a skinny baby. Well, almost nobody. Mayci Neeley is a TikToker who makes family content, sharing cute videos of…
