Steve Irwin has a special place in his heart for sea flap-flaps (too soon?)

While I'm more clever in person than I may seem here, there are certain things I struggle with. It's hard for me to finish writing that I've started for myself. Long-form, I mean. I'm scared to commit to endings. That said, I also happen to struggle with really short form as well, namely tweets. As hard as I've tried to go viral for a funny observation about life or a silly anecdote, they kind of fall flat. Perhaps it's due to the high levels of self-deprecation . We may never know. Fortunately…

Being an adult sounded great when I was like, thirteen. I had it all figured out: My best friend Jane and I would move into her uncle's cottage in England. He's a big-time director and owned Beatrix Potter's house. It was going to be amazing. Driving old range rovers around the estate, listening to the Cure and the Clash, and eating (and drinking) like queens. Judging by the fact that I'm living in a tenement here in Brooklyn, and she's living with her mother-in-law in New Jersey, things haven'…

As a lowly office worker, reaching the end of hump day can feel like a small victory against the agonizing monotony of the Monday-Friday workweek. Hump day, known to some as Wednesday, is nestled between the arduous beginning and the eagerly awaited end of the week. It's a day that embodies both exhaustion and a glimmer of hope, as we trudge through the remaining workdays, inching closer to a weekend of relative freedom. In our office, conversations revolve around the struggle to stay focused,…

The world of fiction isn't always a kind one. Sure, there are fantastical tales of love, success, and maybe even magic. But there are also some really screwed-up fictional universes, in which suffering is more common than merely existing. I, for one, didn't understand how anyone could even play pretend without inflicting a world of pain on any of the characters. People were dying in my world, sometimes worse. And you can bet your bottom dollar that orphans were more plentiful than kids with lov…

Greetings, cat lovers. There's not much I can say about our furry little feline friends that other people on the Internet haven't said before. That's especially true for our sister sites on Cheezburger. The truth is that cats rule everything around me. Some commenters razz me for my “sad cat lady” ways, but it doesn't get to me. I know that my cat obsession and self-deprecating humor are not particularly unique on the Internet. In fact, judging by the sheer volume of cat memes, articles, and pi…

Do you ever feel like a lifeless soul trudging through the mundane existence of millennial life? Perhaps you've found yourself in a place where every day blends into the next, and the weight of existence feels as heavy as ever. Thankfully, even with all the tiring drudgery, there's the occasional glimmer of hope—in the form of memes. Today, on this dreary Monday, we're hitting you with a collection of random memes that might help alleviate the weight of your monotonous existence. These digital…

I have a confession to make. I'm addicted to Geminis. I'm not totally sure when this started, but over the past 7 years or so, all my exes have been Geminis. All my crushes, too. What is it about this sign that makes them so irresistible? It it their emotional unavailability, lack of commitment, or general flightiness? Well, no. And I know those negative traits don't epitomize all Geminis. The real reason I'm probably drawn to Geminis is because they're exciting. They're overflowing with knowle…

Hey there, buddy. I see you're having some fun looking at memes on the Internet. I gotta let you in on a little secret about those funny tidbits, and internet content in general. While some insufferable and pretentious internet "enjoyers" might say otherwise, memes really don't need to be smart to be funny or entertaining. It's not necessary for them to make a reference to a niche subculture, Twitter celeb, or sh*tposting trend. In fact, it's our take that dumb memes are often even funnier than…

Not everyone can be a Renaissance person. Expecting the entire world to have a mind-boggling range of interests and talents is like expecting a cactus to grow a luscious, wavy head of hair—it's just not happening. I've come too accept that I'm not an artistic genius, and that sometimes, I'm gonna feel a little bit boring. But don't get me wrong, it's not because I lack brains or conversational skills. No, my "blahness" stems from the fact that my brain's main obsession is food. I'm like a culin…

I'm not saying “I'm not like other girls,” but when I was a kid, my friendship with my cousin led to some pretty nerdy interests. Namely, Star Wars. I wasn't allowed to own Barbie dolls , so his collection of Star Wars action figures was the next best thing. We'd watch the movies over and over again, pretend we could play the cantina song with various shampoo bottles, and compete over who could do “better” at “vintage” Star Wars games like Dark Forces, Yoda Stories, or X-Wing - all of which my…

The odds may be slim, but they are never zero.

Wwww...what?

One employee experienced an office worker's worst nightmare — accidentally sharing a snarky email with their boss . It's never been easier to send a text or email. You can type anything up on your phone, and send it in just a few clicks. So you have to be super careful what you write , just in case it accidentally happens to get sent. U/kpmurphy56 explained in their TIFU post that morale has been low at their workplace in the aftermath of numerous layoffs. So when they got an email from the bos…

Intelligence comes in many impressive flavors. You've got math whizzes who solve mind-boggling equations just for fun , making the rest of us question our brains' existence. They can calculate tips at lightning speed and perform complex mental gymnastics like it's a walk in the park. Then there are the artistic geniuses who can turn a blank canvas into a masterpiece using paints, pencils, or even discarded junk they stumble upon. I think these qualify as superpowers. There are science nerds who…

It's pretty interesting how many individuals will gripe about some of the content they've completely chosen to engage with. They click a link that very clearly says " Random Memes " or something equally banal and then they complain that they're not good enough. Well, guess what? Not everyone in the world enjoys the same exact types of memes, and as someone who spends time selecting these moderately funny tidbits, I can tell you with complete certainty, that there's is absolutely no way anyone c…
