Who would've thought killing zombies and building barricades could be so wholesome?

Urban legends have been around since, well, time immemorial. They spread like wildfire, and are somehow accepted as fact by multiple generations. While fascinating (and sometimes even completely silly), many urban legends are firmly rooted in fallacy. We're not talking about the small-town rumors of high school heroes. We're talking widely accepted and distributed tales that are simply not true. Recently, a curious soul took to Reddit's r/AskReddit community and asked its members "What urban le…

A stoppable force meets an immovable object—the makings of any classic story—like Batman, only not quite . Well, in this case, you end up with a broken baseball bat and a couple of angry idiots who have met their match with an indestructible hunk of metal. Redditor u/AQuietBorderline posted this story to r/ProRevenge about a group of college engineering students tasked with creating a mailbox that was virtually indestructible. This is exactly the kind of thing that needs to happen when a couple…

Humans are unique creatures. We have upright posture, we lack the thick body hair of most of the mammalian kingdom, and we wear clothing over our (relatively) hairless bodies. While most animals reproduce until they die, we stop about midway through (usually) and enjoy an empty nest if we're lucky. Humans are able to make fire and chit-chat incessantly. While other creatures definitely communicate, they're not talking their friends' ears off until they have violent thoughts. We think. While the…

Keep an eye on your cats, everyone <3

Wait, are credit card companies kind of shady!? A former credit card rep tells all.

Whoa there

Now this is a time capsule.

Farms across America are threatened by a myriad of issues. While droughts, supply chain concerns, and rising inflation may present risks to those who grow and harvest food, problems can be smaller and furrier. Fortunately, this is an area where cats with a wilder side can help. In October, the Richmond Animal Care & Control (RACC) rescued a live-in farm hand from an abandoned local property. Upon his arrival to the shelter, the RACC decided to name him Hungry Hungry Hippo for just how much he w…

What a wonderful world.

Shame.

Dating is hard. And now that things are dying down a little, Covid-wise, we expect the scene is going to get a whole lot crazier. While it's great that those romantic Zoom meetups are (mostly) a thing of the past, there were some perks to getting acquainted to a Tinder or Bumble date ahead of meeting them in person. Namely, being able to get a feel for the suitor's idiosyncrasies before having to get stuck on a date with them in real life. It's a lot easier to close the laptop on a doomed tryst…

Here at our lil ol' website Memebase we recognize that there is a demand for mostly-basic and very relatable memes . And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. With that said, we must admit that after years of scrolling through that simple and easily-consumed content, we tend to appreciate the weirder memes a little more. Memes that might be incredibly surreal, or even completely nonsensical. Memes that make you scratch your head, or even weird you out. And, of course, memes that are ever…

As much as my spoiled ass complains about my childhood trauma, I could never ever claim that I was an unwanted child. Despite the fact that my worst bully told me my parents wished I wasn't born. Nothing could be further from the truth. I've read my mom's diaries where she yearned for kids , and felt surprised that my city-dwelling father wanted to procreate right out of college. Unfortunately, this isn't a universal experience. Redditor u/SniperGlizzy took to Twitter and asked people who had c…

She sees a nugget and the Owen Wilson spirit just takes over.

Many moons ago, when I was an internet-addicted high school student, I would see people with beautiful Livejournal layouts, profile photos, and backgrounds. Most were painstakingly created in Photoshop , dappled with effects that range from artfully old and coffee stained to seemingly glowing from within. The artists responsible would usually take commissions, either in the form of actual money or via trades. I could never afford such a luxury. Instead I became friends with other fan fiction en…
