In case you missed it, we celebrated National Shrek Day over the weekend. That's right, the Shrek franchise has a national holiday that is celebrated on June 4th, and anyone who questions this holiday clearly has no deep, emotional layers like the one and only Shrek. As a Shrek fangirl, I was obligated to binge-watch all the Shrek movies because DUH.

 As I immersed myself in the films and identified which characters were clearly the f*ckboys and which were the good guys, it got me thinking - which Shrek character would I feel confident setting up with my best friends? Which one would I consider dating myself?

If you unabashedly have the hots for Prince Charming or Lord Farquad, then girl, you're a lost cause. The rest of you, come with me! And always remember, Shrek is love, Shrek is life.

Howdy, meme wranglers. We're getting closer to the summermonths, and here in the United States, the weather is starting to make us feel a bit...different. Pretty soon the pavement will be looking wavy from the heat, and commuting to the office will feel more like an energy-depleting slow roast than an invigorating, blood-pumping journey. These vibes always make us feel a little like a lone cowboy swinging open the doors of a dusty saloon as tumbleweeds bounce behind him. 

Though our realities (office drones safe in air-conditioned spaces) really don't align with that of Wild West cowhands, we can get into the vibe with the wealth of dank memes made in their honor. We've put together this gallery made up mostly of weirder ones, but you can scroll through a whole lot more over at Know Your Meme.

It's hard to believe, but twenty years ago today, Shrek was released in theaters. If you were born before 1995, you're probably feeling pretty damn old right now. It's okay, you're not alone—us millennials gotta stick together in times like these. Shrek on the other hand, is totally timeless. Both a relic of millennial irony and fodder for dank zoomer memes—Shrek is eternal. Shrek is love. Shrek is life. Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming, but at least we've got these dank Shrek memes. 

Whether you're a sweet, single lady trying to flirt and finesse her way into a relationship, or parents trying not to lose their sh*t over their annoying yet adorable kids, life can get pretty darn hectic. This is why some fire life hacks could definitely come in handy - desperate times call for desperate measures. The people of Twitter don't take themselves too seriously, so they've been sharing funny life hacks lately, which we've obviously documented. Would you do any of the life hacks listed below? 

It's hard to be kind of old in the age of TikTok. It can be hard to navigate the app (please help us) and whenever we open it we feel increasingly out of touch. The music. The references. Oh god, the dances. But there are still some net positives where the app is considered, and over the past week this has been evident thanks to the 'Trade Offer' memes that have been popping up all over Reddit and Instagram.

The TikTok meme that led to these less irritating image macros was started by @natebellamy4 who posted a video proposal to "God" involving trading hated humans for beloved and sadly deceased public figures. The meme took off, inspiring @bradeazy to share a slightly less wholesome (and less egalitarian) version involving trading "sloppy toppy" for...nothing. @bradeazy's version of the meme has since been utilized as very versatile meme format, for everything from happy "trades" involving caring for one's pets or spicier historical memes about conquistadors and sketchy CIA dealings in Latin America. They've definitely been spicing up our timeline, so we figured we'd share our favorites with you. Care to accept the offer?

These funny movie synopses feel totally wrong, but are sort of on point. They read like someone who just started watching movies for the first time badly trying to explain a plot. It's fun to try and think of other movies you can sum up in just a few sentences with crude reductionism. Beauty and the Beast? A young woman makes friends with some furniture and falls in love with her kidnapper. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Creepy rich guy lures families into a building and kills kids in front of their parents. Inception? A group of colleagues take some epic naps together.
