If you have spent significant time with old people , you know that there are a million Westerns on TV at any given time. While the genre has fallen out of fashion, it dominated the film industry for its first 50 years. In the silent era, one out of every five movies were Westerns. It's difficult to overstate the impact of the genre. With Westerns came a million cowboy characters with giant cowboy hats. My friends and I recently watched a bunch of cheaply made westerns from the 30s, all with the…

The most dashing meow-fits

Youth does not last forever, and for many people, that is unforgivable. This week, Twitter user @thenorthmens went viral after posting two pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio: one in the 90s and one now, with the caption, “twink death is a terrifying thing.” If you didn't know, a twink is a slim, young, and hairless gay man. You might think, “but Leonardo DiCaprio does not fit into that category at any age!” You would be correct, but that matters very little to Twitter users. Twitter users will call…

You know that scene in Toy Story 3 when all of Andy's toys accept their deaths in the fiery pits of landfill hell before getting saved by those claw-obsessed little alien boys? Well, I sure do. That was my first exposure to the horror that is The Dump. The dump feels like a hypothetical location that you couldn't go to until you're swimming in the viscera of children's media. Who could forget Spongebob and Patrick dressed up as choice cuts while hanging out at The Dump, or Cartman convincing Bu…

Is there a divine reason for certain memes to be grouped together? As you're scrolling through this list, I'm sure you've seen at least one of these memes in a different context. It might have been on Tumblr a couple of years ago, on Twitter last week, or this very website. Memes are inherently communal things that are shared repeatedly to secure their legacy. You don't think we're just pumping these things out on an assembly line, do you? The question remains, though, why these memes? Why here…

I am running away from my responsibilities. And it feels good.

“The first thing we are NOT going to do, is we are NOT going to climb the tree. No, it is not for climbing. It is for looking at, okay?”

People say nothing is impossible, but we do nothing every day!

Best to keep them at arms lengths

Well, here we are. We've finally entered that ambiguous period of time in between summer and fall: after Labor Day and before September 21st , the official First Day of Fall TM . If your brain is still school-pilled, you're likely thinking that summer is definitely over by this point. However, if you're a Gregorian calendar stan and a lifelong intellectual, you're still basking in the glory of the hottest and most gorgeous season. You aren't bound to the laws and standards of the educational sy…

1001 [Blanks] You Must See Before You Die is a gimmick book series that I cannot get enough of. It includes titles such as 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die and 1001 Albums You Must Listen To Before You Die. As a child, my favorite book was 1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die. As much as I loved reading them, these books ask a lot of you. Seeing every single one of these paintings and reading all of these books, they truly will take somebody a lifetime to accomplish. I recently mad…

When they actually expect you to work in the workplace

There are so many different kinds of memes in the world. As time has gone on, we tend to veer more and more absurd in our memes to the point where internet trends the past are virtually unrecognizable. Some of us also dabble in edgelord memes that may you may or may not want your mom or your boss to see you post. However, there’s one kind of meme that I believe will never die. And that of course, is the wholesome meme. Wholesome memes work for every age demographic. They’re great for people who…

In office productivity is a thing of the past

Pointless interactions

Have you ever lied on your resume, saying you were “proficient in Excel?” I have a theory that at least 55% of people who put “proficient in Excel” on their resumes are bold-face liars. Because what is proficiency, really? Proficiency is a journey, not a destination! Do we all just wake up one day and realize that we've crossed the threshold of proficiency
