Gather round, Gen Z’ers, and hear a tale from your elderly Millennial friend. There was a time when the internet was young, and collecting media was serious business. We all had folders on our computers full of terrible quality .mp3’s and videos. They sounded like crap, nobody in the family could use the phone while they were...
Twitter sure is a popular place. The number one most retweeted tweet of all time was by Yusaku Maezawa, a Japanese billionaire. I wish I could tell you that it was some enormously funny or stunningly inspirational quote, or maybe some monumental announcement that would shape human history, but I can’t. First because I don’t speak...
Tumblr was founded by a high school drop out by the name of David Karp when he was just 17 years old. 6 years later he sold the platform to Yahoo for a little over a billion dollars. That’s an awful lot of money for a site dedicated mostly to Harry Potter memes, but I guess it’s no surprise when you really think about it. Tumblr is a...
I’ve had a little extra time on my hands lately and I’m trying to get back into some creative writing. What do you think about this: a fan fiction series about a bunch of Tumblrs who spend their days sharing factoids and brain farts and writing other fan fiction. Has anyone gone meta fanfic before? Or meta-meta-fanfic? I feel like this...
If you want to have a productive day, you really have to start your day out with some big laughs. I mean BIG laughs. The kind of laughs that will propel you through the rest of the day and give you the energy to crush it at whatever you’re doing: work, the gym, cleaning the house, fighting with your spouse, all the good stuff! Are you ready...
There’s a horror trope so old that it’s been thoroughly disassembled, analyzed, and reconstituted into new tropes over and over again at this point: the overconfident, clueless white people who ignore huge red flags and subject themselves to danger at every turn, never seeming to learn anything. You know, like these...
Somewhere around 3/4 of the population of the United States identifies as some category of Christian. It’s such a cultural norm that generally, no one bats an eye at each others’ professions of faith. But every once in a while, someone comes along who is so intensely and bizarrely devout that everyone, believer and otherwise, turns to...
Get ready for some feelings: this story is about as nostalgia-inducing as they come. It starts with a band you might remember called Bowling for Soup. They’re a sort of pop-punk outfit who reached their popularity peak in the early 2000’s, though they’re still going strong today with new music and tour dates if you wanna check...
Today we’re going to dedicate an entire page to a discussion on nudity that contains no actual nudity. But don’t leave! It’s fascinating and hilarious nonetheless. It all started when Reddit user Ruth took to r/AskReddit to post this very, very important question: Do you sleep naked? Why or why not? byu/Ruth- inAskReddit Now,...
There are two types of people in this world; those who are still in school, and those who literally wake up in a pool of sweat from nightmares about being back in school. Sure, it’s worth it, maybe, hopefully, and education in general is very important, but man is it a tough ride. Whether you went all the way to a doctorate or excited...
