As somebody who doesn’t do well with timelines, I have benefitted from the fact my parents were somewhat late developers for people of their generation. I’ve yet to reach the often-judged age where they were married, owned a house, or had kids (although they didn’t do it in that order). I don’t even know for …

‘And that’s on magnitude’: The most entertaining takes from TikTok this week (April 9, 2024)
There was a time when not everything on the internet desperately needed to entertain us. Some places were simply here to inform or give us the news with a minimum of messing around (or at least, that’s what a lot of people used it for). Then TikTok came along and changed all that. Now, everywhere …

‘Y’all thought my $1400 Tahoe payment was bad’: Nonsensical woman baffles internet with combined $3000 monthly car payments
One of many things that has up to this point made me a committed non-driver is that acquiring and maintaining a vehicle can be incredibly expensive. Everyone knows that a car loses up to 10% of its value as soon as it’s driven off the lot, and yet many people find themselves paying it off …

‘You could fit 45 Netherlands inside Indonesia’: Wannabe cartographer ‘tak[es] Indonesia outdonesia’ to reveal wild size comparison
Many maps are lying to us. I don’t mean this in a flat earth kind of way, but rather in the sense that they tend to give certain countries preferential treatment. Much as Americans and many others in this world would like to act as if the United States is the center of the universe, …

Hater claims SNL has never cast a hot woman, gets dragged in the comments: ‘Cecily Strong was on that show way too long for you to be spouting nonsense’
Saturday Night Live is one of those shows that people have many grievances with. The most common one is that «the sketches aren’t funny like they used to be.» That sentiment could’ve been said in 1980 or 2024, and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference: it’s a timeless complaint. I believe that people …

‘Bro driving a school desk’: The most entertaining takes from TikTok this week (April 2, 2024)
It’s kind of crazy to think that when people in the future look back on this period of history, TikTok will likely play a dominant role. It can’t be overstated how much it contributes to the cultural conversation and swallows up the free time of millions. Maybe you’re OK with this, find it amusing even, …

‘God bless her now cleared nasal passages’: Brits react to American chef trying English mustard
For all the controversies surrounding traditional British cuisine, there is usually one thing that most can agree on: it’s not a place where you will find a lot of spice. This is a slight misconception. While it’s true that you aren’t going to find a chili kick in fish and chips, there are certain condiments …

‘Why are we commuting for an office job?’: Journalist sparks uproar for weekly ‘supercommute’ from Ohio to New York
The horrors of the internet may be many, but it has its good points. One of the most practical of these is that for many jobs, companies no longer need every employee to be in the same place for things to get done. While the finer points of working from home are up for debate, …

In our modern age, there are very few food items that you can’t get at the drop of a hat. If you want a bucket of crispy KFC fried chicken delivered directly to your door, you can get it if you’re willing to pay the price. We live in a culture of instant gratification; for …

‘Practicing the walk to my new job on Google Maps’: The most entertaining takes from TikTok this week (March 26, 2024)
Every half a generation or so, the internet gets redefined by a meme-adjacent way of sharing thoughts, jokes, and opinions on the internet. The late 2000s had Impact font Advice Animals, then the early to mid-2010s was dominated by Twitter screenshots. Whisper had a brief moment a few years back, and now we are undoubtedly …
