What goes around most definitely comes around. Especially when it comes to fashion. I remember showing my mom a pair of acid-washed shorts and a neon pink tank top I wanted to wear to a birthday party in 8th grade and being confused when she responded with shock and horror.

‘Clearly I’m employee of the year’: Gen Z corporate worker hilariously details how she makes herself at home in the office

By this point, I think it’s fair to say that we have all internalized the idea that each generation is very different in the workplace.

A Healthy Helping of Memes for Growing Boys and Girls

Something I like to say even though it’s not true anymore is «I’m a growing girl.» I say that to myself when I finish an ice cream cone in 5 minutes flat and feel a little bad about it. I say that when I want to go to sleep at 9 PM even though that’s considered «lame» and «depressing» by my peers. It’s true in a way.  No, I’m no longer gaining inches lengthwise (I’m officially giving up on that second …

‘Seeing if my 94 month old son still does the newborn scrunch’: The most entertaining takes from TikTok this week (April 23, 2024)

It’s kind of strange how people acted like TikTok was some kind of anomaly when it first became popular. In a lot of ways, it’s just a convoluted mix of many platforms that came before it—Vine and YouTube in the format, with Twitter, Tumblr, and even Reddit influencing the content.  It goes without saying that …

Nostalgic 2000s Kids Memes For True Gen Zers Who Don’t Remember The 90s

I am willing to admit I harbor nostalgia for the 2000s. It’s only natural for someone to look at the decade where they were under 12 years old for the whole of it with some rose-colored glasses. I’m aware that for most adults, the 2000s were not the most peaceful and fun time of their …

37 Gen X Memes for 80’s Kids Raised on Hose Water (April 17, 2024)

Growing up in the 80s was a riotous time. Hair was big, clothes were flashy, and everyone had something to prove. For us kids, growing up in the 80s was more about finding which parking lots were the best to hang out in, copping a smoke from the high schoolers on our lunch break, and …

35+ Memes That Put the ‘Fun’ In Funny

Ok, forgive me if this is something everyone already has thought about… but does the word «funny» come from the word «fun?» It would sort of make sense. The concepts are definitely interrelated.

‘What do y’all kids know about Crazy Frog’: The most entertaining takes from TikTok this week (April 16, 2024)

For all that it can feel this way, the internet is not forever. The infrastructure on which it is built is so varied and sprawling that there is every chance that something will happen in the future that will cause its massive reservoir of information to be lost, meaning that we could currently be living …
