There is a seemingly never-ending stream of online discourse about NYC «transplants.» A transplant is someone who moves to a city that they didn’t grow up in, and allegedly makes it worse with their tacky, trendy consumption habits. It’s essentially the 21st-century version of a yuppie. Transplant discourse is not solely a New York City …

Cat owner solicits a 90s My Little Pony doll for her kitty whose old pony was destroyed, finds the perfect new friend on Facebook Marketplace: ‘He will groom them and carry them around with absolute pride’
Pets love the darndest things. I’ve had pets who were obsessed with digging used menstrual products out of the trash and bringing them into the backyard, as well as others who only wanted to play with classic dog products like ham bones and squeaky toys. Pets do not care that you don’t want them to …

Math teacher only allows students 1 bathroom pass per week, gives them extra credit if they don’t use the restroom at all: ‘Both the rule and the reward are problematic’
When you’re a teenager, you don’t always have control over whether you can go to the restroom when needed. Both my minimum wage service job and my high school teachers made me ask permission to use the restroom, and if they said no, then I couldn’t go! I had a friend who peed on the …

Disney family sells hideous Disney-themed house for $237K, complete with tacky spray-painted walls featuring Aladdin and friends: ‘Ideal someone who enjoys painting and decorating’
There’s a great debate happening in the interior design world. Half of prospective homebuyers seem to want the same millennial gray schlock that plagues luxury apartment buildings everywhere. A counter-movement has sprung up in response to this pallid aesthetic. Many young people would rather live in an old, colorful house filled with relics of mid-century …

25+ Hilarious Stephen Nedoroscik Tweets For Fans of the Pommel Horse King Who Brought USA Men’s Gymnastics Their First Olympic Medal in 16 Years
Before yesterday, I didn’t know or care about USA Men’s Gymnastics. I knew that they were far less decorated than the women’s team, and that’s about it. That’s probably because their team hasn’t had a superstar that’s broken through the general Olympics hullabaloo, like Simone Biles. That is, they didn’t until this year. If you …

Inconsiderate dude shuts down friend asking for emotional support, anoints himself the King of Boundaries: ‘Don’t be inconsistent and then expect me to play the fat friend’
I’m convinced that nobody except therapists likes «therapy speak.» If you don’t know what therapy speak is, maybe this will refresh your memory. «Hey! I’m so glad you reached out. I’m actually at capacity / helping someone else who’s in crisis / dealing with some personal stuff right now, and I don’t think I can …

Worker complains about living paycheck to paycheck, despite making $80K per year and paying $1175 a month in rent: ‘This is extremely affordable living’
Everyone has a different definition of «living paycheck to paycheck.» If you’ve never lived in actual poverty, you have no idea how resourceful you have to be to stretch less than $100 over two weeks and how stressful it is to live like that. Even if your situation isn’t that dismal, you might not be …

40+ of the Freshest and Funniest Tweets of the Week (May 4, 2024)
Everyone’s got a take these days. 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 …

40+ of the Freshest and Funniest Tweets of the Week (April 20, 2024)
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. To be on Twitter is to watch this unfold in real-time. If you’re lucky …
