‘A big cheese wedge’: Man is overwhelmed by absurdly hilarious responses after asking how to use unconventional nook in his apartment

People on the internet love solving problems. Or at least pretending to solve problems and instead, cracking jokes. It’s like a group chat of friends that you can’t go to for real advice, because they will just clown you instead of offering real support. This, in a way, is its own form of support, though. …

35+ of the Freshest and Funniest Tweets of the Week (May 25, 2024)

Twitter is great for many a thing, but nuance is not one of them. That’s what books are for. The slim word count requirement and low barrier to entry make Twitter a wonderfully democratic place. Anyone can post, and anyone can thusly be taken seriously (or not seriously). It’s the people’s forum.

Or the aesthetic shower videos, where folks show off their museum-like body …

Among many things, the internet has made it so much easier to stalk one another. It starts with a harmless search for their Instagram page, and before you know it you’re knee-deep in the Wikipedia page of their high school, looking at the notable alumni. It’s a slippery slope. But some social media pages betray more …

One of Twitter’s trademark features is also one of its greatest drawbacks: the character limit. It keeps things brief, digestible, and conversational. You don’t want anyone running around posting paragraphs and tomes… that’s what Wattpad is for. With everyone forced to reduce their ideas to a sentence-long quip, things get flashier and rougher. Nuance on Twitter? Yeah, ok, …

I can’t walk out of the house without somebody coming up to me and saying, «Hot take, people who own houseplants are just people who want to be parents and misplaced the energy.» Or «Actually, dogs hate it when you scratch their heads. They’re wagging their tail because they’re in distress.» Or maybe I just have a weird, opinionated neighbor.  But …

It’s so fun to witness a trend cycle in its entirety. To watch a meme be born, watch it thrive, perhaps even participate in its proliferation, see its demise, and then if you stick around long enough, watch it inevitably return.
