These days, going on the internet often feels like you're stuck in a machine specifically designed to make you have a bad time . The algorithm shows you content guaranteed to make you mad; sure enough, you read it, get angry, and post about it more, feeding into the monster. One would think that eventually, you'd have a bad enough time just to quit these hostile social media platforms altogether, but the anger they induce gets addicting. It is fun to be outraged, especially when you're outraged…

When cat rescuer @ellle_em was having a bad day, they turned to Twitter and made a very specific request. “Please reply to this tweet with an AITA written from the perspective of your cat and also include a photo of said cat I would appreciate this very much” tweeted @ellle_em. Boy oh boy did Twitter deliver. After @ellle_em got the ball rolling with some posts featuring a bunch of their lovely-looking rescues, other Twitter users got in on the joke and shared stories about their own mischievou…

This 94-year-old woman was trying to declutter when she started sharing her recipes with her neighbor who was helping her. When she found out her recipes were being shared online and thousands of people were recreating them, she was so happy that she gifted her neighbor ALL of the recipes.

'Happy New Years' is just on the tip of our tongue at this point.

Look out, dog moms ! There's a new sheriff in town, and her baby is leafy and green. Houseplants have been a staple for generations, but they've had a real boom in popularity over the past few years, especially with younger generations on social media. While some people adopted a dog or picked up new artistic hobbies when the pandemic hit, the newly anointed plant moms and plant dads strapped on their gardening gloves and got to work: repotting, watering, and desperately hoping their plants did…

"Put some mistletoe on my butt and kiss it!"

I am known for having a really sharp memory. I remember things that nobody else in my family or friend groups does, and I am especially skilled at remembering dates. If anyone can't recall my cousin's wedding anniversary , they know who to call. One of the only things that I am terrible at remembering is drama, especially somebody telling me about the drama in their life. For some reason, my brain does not want me to hold on to any of that; honestly, I think I'm better for it. There is little t…

One of the greatest movies of the 20th century is about a man who magically turns into a dog. I'm not talking about The Shaggy Dog or its remake starring Tim Allen. No, I'm referring to the greatest hidden gem Disney+ has to offer, The Shaggy D.A. As the title so cleverly suggests, it is a movie about a man who is running for District Attorney and can't stop turning into a big white fluffy dog . The best part of this movie is its action sequences. If you haven't seen the viral clip where a man…

Montreal-based writer and director Andrew Todd is officially on our hit list. He hasn't committed any serious crimes against our soul, but he has had the blessing of weeping in the arms of John Wick 3 star Keanu Reeves. We're just so jealous that he's been touched by the living, breathing, and villain-slaying meme. Todd hopped on Twitter to share this heartwarming and nerdy tale, and now we're here to share it with you.

Let's face it: it's pretty damn easy to feel bummed when things get tough. Over the past few years, we've been looking for the proverbial light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. And each time we catch a glimpse of anything optimistic in the distance, it's canceled out by yet another terrible world event. At some point, you have to stop hoping that something good will happen and create positivity in the present. That can be done by making a list of things you're grateful for, indulging in a l…

"It's a little OK"

With all the cringey incels and men's rights activists making themselves known both online and IRL, it's understandable to worry about toxic masculinity maintaining its grip on future generations. Many of my friends who have kids worry about bullying, bigotry, addiction, school shootings, and dangerous internet challenges. The world wide web has made many of these problems more prevalent. There's no way around it: being a parent is scary. Beyond those celebrities doing charity and making Instag…

As much as boomers and millennials seem to love warring on the internet over who screwed the world up, we can't let ourselves forget how awesome old people can be, especially when they attempt to use some new kind of tech for the first time. It's also important to remember that we're all going to be boomers some day—time will make sure of that. And hopefully in the decades to come, when millennials inevitably hold the boomer torch, we'll end up on meme pages that poke fun at our little incompet…

The internet has been buzzing about cursed images since the dedicated Tumblr went live in 2015, but we just recently became aware of their slightly more positive brethren, the blessed image and the blursed image. The idea of a blessed image is pretty straightforward: an image that is sweet or wholesome, and leaves one feeling happy. Blursed images are a bit harder to pin down. They're generally photos with the same mystique as a cursed image, but not quite as sinister. The r/blursedimages subre…
