What it’s like to learn from Twitter that your grandpa’s become a meme

At any moment in time, whether you want it to happen or not, someone could take a photo of you, post it online, and turn it into a meme for the internet’s enjoyment. (This, I assume, is the price we pay for existing in 2018.)

And as one Reddit user recently learned, this applies to everyone — even grandpas. On Thursday, u/manic_unicorn revealed in a post that her grandfather was once the subject of a meme.

“My cousin was browsing Twitter and came across this picture of our grandpa at the mall with his friends that a stranger took and captioned ‘Squad Goals’,” she wrote in the Reddit post of the photo, and noting that the image “had been retweeted thousands of times.” Read more…

This ‘Queer Eye,’ ‘Harry Potter’ crossover meme will give you life, henny

Accio non-horrible crossover! 

The “If I was on Queer Eye” meme has come for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and I am here for it. The pure intentions of the Queer Eye cast mingles perfectly with the other worldly realm of Harry Potter. Your faith in crossovers will be restored and your heart will sing. 

For those unfamiliar with the popular meme: it’s about visualizing what the Fab Five might say while giving you a makeover. 

If I was on Queer Eye:
Bobby: Why do you have a framed picture of Monica Geller?
Karamo: your students are NOT your life
Jonathan: oh henny your brows.
Antoni: do you consume anything other than Diet Coke?
Tan: clothes that feel like pajamas aren’t really appropriate anymore.

Wow look at this beautiful meme outside my window

Twitter users have been especially creative with formatting memes, from ASCII inspired hot takes to badly Photoshopped images of Gru. Now the “beautiful view outside my window” meme shows limitations can bolster creativity.

If you’ve been on social media at all, you might have come across this Twitter meme:

The meme started with author and Twitter dad Jonny Sun, who posted the default Windows background in four panels with the caption “wow look at this beautiful view outside my window.” The borders between the photos look like windowpanes.  Read more…

LADIES — what do you really want out of your future?

A few days ago a tweet by @mallorii_alysee started making rounds on Twitter. In it, Mallori expresses a wish for her best life: a very routine suburban experience of watching kids play baseball and a husband coaching.

LADIES imagine this, it’s 15 years from now—your son is up to bat, your husband is the hot 3rd base coach, your little girl is cheering on her big brother at the fence,&you are team mom, taking pics with a fancy camera,&keeping the scorebook

THAT WOULD BE LIVING MY BEST LIFE

A floating dumpster became the most relatable meme

Pittsburgh was hit with heavy rain on Wednesday night, causing severe flooding on a local highway. 

Unlike typical rainfall in the area, the thunderstorm didn’t just pass through. Instead, it stayed over the city, dumping half an inch of rain over Pittsburgh every hour. 

The storm gave us one bright spot during the downpour: this video of a dumpster jauntily floating down the river that used to be Route 51. Local news anchor Ken Rice captured it on the move on Wednesday night. Read more…

Not all Twitter users had fond memories of their past relationships — and this floating dumpster reminded them of that.

Parkour cat escapes furious feline gauntlet

The internet is not a stranger to cat videos nor is it unfamiliar with memes set to Awolnation’s “Run.” So behold, the fated fusion of two iconic internet staples.

The scene opens in a nondescript alleyway. Four cats mill about — two are lounging, two are getting a bit feisty. The familiar build-up tones of “Run” play as the two cats in the back get a little more aggressive.

Then the fated “run” happens, timed at the moment when one cat feels the necessary urge to escape this terrible alley. And so it starts to jump off the walls in a wild display of athleticism.

It’s an excellent blending of two internet legends.  Read more…
