Famously, the internet can be a pretty wild place. When we give humans the chance to hide behind avatars and usernames, they will say anything. And they have.

Living in a big city, you encounter all sorts of people displaying all sorts of behavior of which you may or may not approve. Every day on my commute, I see breaches of the social contract.

‘I know it smells crazy in there’: Movie theater allows dogs to attend screenings, people react weirdly
I am one of the world’s greatest defenders of going to the movies. I think it’s one of our most sacred rites as humans and to think that it’s in danger of going away fills me with existential dread. To gather to consume art, to pop the popcorn, dim the lights, and lose yourself for …

‘It’s very telling’: Woman gets proposed to in cargo pants, commenters claim it spells doom for their relationship
If you’re that kind of person, the Instagram post of your proposal is one of the most important Instagram posts of your life. Couples go to great lengths to create the perfect setting for the perfect pic– the environment, the angle, and of course, the outfits. I personally never thought about what I’d like to be wearing …

’30-50 feral hogs guy’: Twitter users share the most memorable ‘Internet Main Characters’ in recent memory
Something weird goes viral every single day.

‘It was the most awkward hour’: Guy eats at Benihana alone to test limits of social discomfort
Dining alone can be one of life’s greatest pleasures… if you’re brave enough. Not to brag, but I’m really good at going to restaurants alone. I’ve done quite a bit of solo traveling, so I’ve had to get used to it. Some of my fondest memories in life are (oops here’s another brag) eating at …

‘This is ten times more narcissistic and toxic than whatever he did to you’: Roommate kicks out out guy who ghosted him twice, sparks heated discourse
Unlike its spooky namesake, ghosting’s existence is not up for debate. It happens all the time, to the best of us, to the worst of us. It’s so easy to ghost someone. It requires little (actually, nothing) of you and it makes a potential issue go away instantly. But if you’re on the receiving end …

‘I’ve got a 3D printer and one week to figure out how we’re doing this’: Comedian designs hilarious 2024 glasses, rivals the New Years Eve glasses of the 2000s
We didn’t know how good we had it during the 2000s. Sure, some wacky things were happening politically, and the economy was not always in tip-top condition, but those are silly big-picture things that we could complain about during any era. I’m talking about those little facets of culture from the aughts that we haven’t …

Top 10 Twitter Moments of the Year (2023)
Twitter memes come and go so quickly. We laugh and hoot and holler at a «Twitter main character» for approximately 48 hours and proceed to forget they ever existed. Well, I don’t want to forget! The internet is already so poorly archived that it’s important to document phenomena outside of the platform where it first …
