Nowadays, it's increasingly challenging to find memes for the whole family. Ten years ago, wholesome memes comprised a much more significant portion of the meme ecosystem. Unfortunately, that's no longer the case. Now, so many memes you come across are either depressing, catastrophizing, or just plain rude. Extremely online people might not think there's a market for solely wholesome memes. However, they'd be wrong! I can't tell you the number of people who tell me, “I only want to use social m…

Memes love you. Memes will never leave you randomly one night without warning, never to be seen again. The memes you have stored on your phone will be with you for as long as you want, and they won't leave unless you ask them to. If you politely and amicably split with your memes, they will be cordial and respectful. Memes won't leave your phone in the middle of the night, go into the city doing God knows what with God knows who, and sneak back into your phone at 6 AM and think you won't notice…

Getting reccomened meditation by a friend or a therapist feels kind of weird. It's like they know just by looking at you that you refuse to shut off your brain for even one second of your waking hours. They sniff you and think, “now this is a person who will consume media at an alarming rate just so they don't have to hear the thought bouncing through their head.” I've never really successfully done meditation because I struggle with taking it seriously. I'm supposed to not ruminate on any thou…

Spongebob is one of the most iconic cartoon characters of all time. He has served as the unofficial mascot for Nickelodeon for over two decades and has filled our lives with laughter for just as long. Spongebob SquarePants is one of those shows with humor that will hold up for generations. It's the perfect kind of kid's show that keeps the young ones entertained but with enough wit and humor to have fully grown adults in stitches. The episodes are endlessly rewatchable (at least up to Season 3)…

Have you ever heard the theory that the United States is like a melting pot, with various cultures coming together and amalgamating into one uniquely American culture? Despite that talking point's prominence, America as a melting pot is quite a misnomer because cultures don't just bleed into each other. Cultural practices don't become an indistinguishable goo similar to that of cheese fondue just because they exist in close proximity to each other. Instead of the melting pot theory, other socio…

What is a meme , really? Memes used to be a particular series of image macros that took over internet culture during the 2000s. These days, however, a meme is a much broader way of categorizing online content. Does a meme have to be made up of pictures and text? Must it be something that can be replicated in different forms, like how Bad Luck Brian was a consistent image with different white text every time? Does a meme belong to everyone or the person who created it? Is there any ethical way t…

If loving my wife is a crime, officer, lock me up! That is the boomer dad version of the newest Twitter meme . It features the caption “me if [banal thing] was illegal” typically accompanied by a picture of Spongebob being handcuffed by the coppers, his face in agony. This meme format is fun because it's just so easy! I have a long list of everyday things that I could not stop doing, even if they were illegal! They include the following… Me if drinking at least four servings of Diet Coke per da…

He spicy aaand cute.

Memes, memes, memes. There are so many out there in the world, and simply not enough hours in the day to take them all in. Wouldn't it be swell if we were like those people on the spaceship in WALL-E , required to do nothing all day but be pumped up with media and snacks? Allegedly, my dad's distant cousin was the guy who was the inspiration for the evil captain in WALL-E, but that's neither here nor there. If that's the most famous person I am related to, I am pretty content with that. But all…

Hear ye! Hear ye! I be the town crier, and I have news of many merriments! Firstly of all, you are alive and not dead. That is a spectacular feat, considering how the world is during these times. These times can be mid, these times can be evil, and they are beyond capable of being both! Your status as a fully conscious human being is the good news. The bad news is that we are in the cold, cruel midst of a medieval peasant famine. But no need to fret, dear citizens. The king has been gracious en…

Once you leave school and get into the regular routines of life, it can be hard to find new things to do that make you think. It's often difficult to find something exciting to stimulate your brain. Many people use little games and puzzles to keep their brains challenged and active, which is admirable. While doing a crossword every day probably won't make you a genius, it can imbue little nuggets of knowledge into your mind that previously might have just stayed in the newspaper. Personally, I…

Spongebob is a wacky little cartoon character; He's an absolute hoot, and he surely hasn't killed a guy , right? Well, I've got some bad news for you. Being on TV for 23 years has allowed SpongeBob to get into every situation imaginable. This includes vehicular manslaughter and 2nd-degree murder. While most fans take SpongeBob's criminal record no more seriously than they'd take Eric Cartman's, some fans were deeply upset about the sea sponge's portrayal.

Robert Frost was onto something when he penned the words “Nothing gold can stay.” The older we get the less things seem to have consistency. The glinting reality we once existed in has lost its sparkle. The activities we once loved are now enjoyed with a fraction of the same enthusiasm. That intense honeymoon phase of our relationships? You guessed it. They crumble into comfortable, routine dust. Pretty soon you find yourself trying new things - forced dance classes, wine tastings, perhaps walk…

The whole internet seems to be talking about Rihanna right now. Everywhere you turn there's a new picture of the pop star on the beach in a sequined bikini looking extremely pregnant and not giving two f*cks. But you know what people aren't talking about? This perfect Twitter thread of Rihanna pictures matched perfectly with stills from S pongeBob SquarePants . If you have a passion for both celebrities and shitposts, today is your lucky day. Enjoy.
