Most of the time, life doesn't go as smoothly as we want it to. Life has nasty little surprises around the corner. But there are some things that will always work like clockwork: machines. There are no nasty surprises with machines. No getting caught in the rain without an umbrella. No parking fines on your windscreen. No dropping your toast on the floor face down. None of that. Mechanical things are dependable. Predictable. So here are ten mechanical GIFs of things working that will satisfy your innate desire for order.

As millennials on the older side of the generation, we were actually lucky to have experienced life before the internet was used for everything. It's definitely built character and probably lent us a little extra resourcefulness. Sometimes we feel like our grandparents talking about walking a mile in the snow to school when we talk about the days before smartphones, and this little text exchange between a post-millennial and an older, wiser person will show you exactly why.
We've already made fun of the iPhone 11 once before, but honestly there are so many good memes coming out of it that we couldn't resist bringing you even more of them. And let's face it, we're all way too poor to ever afford this new Apple installment with its stupid cameras, so making a mockery of it seems like the proper thing to do.
Fancy things require over-the-top, bougie care instructions, apparently. At least for the Apple Card anyway.
Apple published instructions for keeping your Apple credit card lookin' shiny the other day and people couldn't help but notice how ridiculous some of the steps are. No leather, denim, or loose change can come in contact with your card if you want to keep it from getting discolored.
Got it, soooo just never have it touch anything then...?

Would you like to pay for a subscription to drinking fountains? How about shoes that you have to charge? Internet of Shit highlights these disappointing marvels of technology and many more in what seems like a rapidly approaching dystopian future of awful products that simultaneously don't work and make life more inconvenient when they do work.

We have to be honest in that we don't really understand what it is that you programmers and coders do all day at work, but we do know is that you help bring us cool new gadgets and Amazon Prime drones and everything in between that lets us do literally everything from the couch - no movement necessary!
As Americans, we're all probably pretty familiar with the "garage" success story in which successful billionaires started out working in humble conditions, such as in a basement or garage until they made it big. This Twitteruser brought up an interesting different viewpoint!
This thread is pretty eye-opening, but we certainly don't want to dominate the discussion here - what do you all think? Are billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Steve Jobs self-made? Or did they receive a little more help than the rest of us along the way?
Calling all coders, developers and software engineers! We have some nerdy memes for when you can't stand to look at lines of code any longer. We all need to take a break every now and again, after all! And lastly, we want to thank you for continuously providing us with the tech products we all can't live without.
We live in a tech world, whether you like it or not, and for that we have to thank our overlords Facebook, Google, Amazon and more. In all seriousness though, we feel like the tech people who work for them aren't represented enough in memes, and so we're bringing you some on this lovely day. May the code be with you.
