The concept of hot ice cream is diabolical but I hope Tyra makes a root beer flavor and calls it “We were all rooting for you”

The fact that the thieves at the Louvre didn’t steal the Mona Lisa just proves how overrated it is

Contrary to what some may think, the fact that I’m considering buying a prepackaged Halloween costume this year is a recession indicator

Ever since I googled how to make the perfect omelette, I’ve been burning my omelettes. Yet another reason the internet was a mistake

I could totally be poly as long as everyone I’m dating considers me their primary partner. Or ideally their only partner. And I would only kiss and be intimate with one of the people

As a kid I was given the impression that there would be far more scenarios in which I’d find money and be able to return it to its rightful owner

My desire to hold onto summer is in conflict with the fact that I’m already looking at Halloween costumes

A case that never sat right with me: that person who doesn’t want to be my friend even though I’m so much fun

Crocs on the subway? Fine. But to have them not in sport mode? You’re playing a dangerous game, my friend

Remember those Clear Eyes commercials with Ben Stein? That’s the energy that every video from Cuomo’s campaign has except Cuomo’s not acting bland as a joke, he’s actually like that

Before you post your “end of summer” photo dump, THINK: T: Is summer actually over? H: Is it September 21st yet? I: Is it upsetting to your friends with seasonal affective disorder? N: What about global warming? K: Please slow down

If removing the man from the Cracker Barrel logo made it “woke”, does that mean Protestants are more “woke” than Catholics since their cross doesn’t have Jesus on it?

Today I saw someone wearing crocs without holes in them. Boneless crocs, if you will. There was probably a time when these would have looked more normal than the ones with holes in them, but now society dictates otherwise. Really makes you think

I felt the need to make this

A meme of an old lady saying “X used to be called Twitter and it was one of the most left-leaning platforms” and a girl saying “sure grandma let’s get you to bed” (the latter quote is a part of the original meme format)

If your palms are itchy, it means you’re going to get money. If the bottoms of your feet are itchy, it means you’re going to obtain that money by selling feet pics

I hate the phrase “give you the shirt off my back.” It is also on your front

Trying on clothes you ordered online can often be a triggering experience, but I never found it triggering in an olifactory way until I ordered something from Hollister in 2025
