While I’ll agree the internet has been overrun by shortform shit, calling internet memes uncreative is such a boomer-ass take. This guy is just nostalgia baiting for points.
My mother once found me watching Futurama and started getting irate because she thought she heard someone say “gender bender”.
Ofc, Bender Bending Rodriguez is capable and willing to bend anything, including gender, but this wasn’t that episode and she was just hearing his name wrong. It’s like Christians live in a waking nightmare dream state.
I didn’t know why I was seeing acorns all over my feed but I think I can hazard a guess after seeing this. I’m guessing an acorn dropped on a cop car and the pig emptied his clip into someone?
Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. Bleary-eyed at 9AM, it took me a moment to realize that Microsoft...
I subscribe to some pet subs to see cute pictures of cats and dogs to improve my mood and then every tenth post or so is “my poor dead cat”. I hate it, I never knew your catdog and now im slightly sad that its dead. Now I have to unsubscribe from all these cute pet subs cause y’all can’t not talk about how dead your pets...

Amazon turned out really weird. I feel like the idea of Amazon should be consolidating reputable retailers together, but they decided to open the floodgates to random people and now it’s little better than wish.com. Maybe they should split the site up and push all the random sellers onto a different platform.
Several Swedish lawmakers said Friday they will boycott this year’s Nobel Prize ceremonies after the private foundation that administers the prestigious awards changed its policy and invited Russia, Belarus and Iran who had previously been barred from attending.
I’m sorry to break this to you guys, but the Nobel peace prize looooves war criminals. They gave one to Henry Kissinger ffs.
That said this does change my view of the NPP, I always thought they were sycophantic poll chasers who only gave awards to people with good enough PR to hide what monsters they are. Somehow they’ve now aligned themselves with moustache-twirling evil instead of the nonchalant kind.
