Did they know?

Minions have been part of the cultural conversation longer than anyone could've guessed. First debuting in the Steve Carell vehicle Despicable Me in 2010, minions were an instant phenomenon, becoming a merchandising powerhouse comparable to Disney. Minions became the popular subjects of Facebook memes , often featured in relatable image macros for an older demographic. While minions were initially received quite positively, the meme world turned on them in 2015 during the release of their spino…

I was never a picky eater growing up. But I had friends who would turn up their noses at the mention of tuna salad. They seemed to only respond to chicken nuggets or tenders , white rice, and buttered noodles. It was bleak. I always thought that as New Yorkers who are surrounded by different cultures, we should be a tad more adventurous. Their weak palates disappointed me, and my family struggled to inspire open-mindedness. It recently occurred to me, however, that we were using the wrong tacti…

Online mobs getting people fired is nothing new. Whether someone deserves to get fired over bad takes has always been an incredibly contentious debate.

While the original person who posted the couple found this wholesome, many Twitter users were creeped out by the assertion “we will adopt your baby." Because of this, the phrase went viral,

It's a sick sad world we live in. And no, we're not talking about the recent Supreme Court ruling. We're talking about the excessive hornyposting of ' Brand Twitter .' The latest culprit is the Nutter Butter Twitter account , which brazenly tweeted “N is for the way you nut at me” yesterday afternoon.

Is this meant to be cute?

Everyone embarrasses themselves at some point in their lives—we're only human after all. But some cringe can never be forgiven. And if you've ever ended up on r/cringetopia, there was probably a good reason for it. I'm thankful every day that I grew up without the ability to post my bad opinions on Twitter or get caught doing something really stupid on TikTok. Instead, my embarrassment was relegated to cringey conversations with my crush (on AIM) and just being an all-around nerd at school. It…

This kind of BS is so toxic.

TikTok dances are a staple of the platform, but Charli D'Amelio and Addison Rae might have some competition in the form of a bald dancing animated man.

It's nice to participate in the simple pleasures in life once and a while. Sure, these things might not be expensive or high class or highly memorable, but they add a little extra something to your day to make it stand out. So often, our days feel like they're running together, one day looking practically identical to the rest. When you're living for the weekend, making the week feel like it counts as a part of your actual life can be challenging. Incorporating little unique things into each da…

Companies that aren't afraid to stoop real low

Every now and then Twitter gets on a tip that results in scads of viral tweets. This month we've seen a ton of backlash against Airbnb , but we've also seen people discussing all the scams that have become so normalized we barely even notice them. A couple accounts have addressed this.

It's no secret that a lot of couples look like siblings. A considerable portion of the population is attracted to people who look suspiciously similar to themselves. The popular Instagram account Siblings or Dating is dedicated to speculating on this question, posting pictures of two people who look alike, polling their followers on whether they think they're siblings or dating, and revealing the answer. This speculative game is all in good fun, until it gets way too real.

It's not much, but it's what we have.
