Would you eat a meal cooked in someone else’s mouth?
No? Neither would we, despite knowing, as noted by Gizmodo, that this clip of a woman preparing turkey stuffing with her mouth is likely just performance art. Still, the video’s been all over Twitter since Tuesday after a re-cut clip of it racked…

Since the name Slender Man first appeared on the internet just a handful of years ago, the gangly figure has flourished into a full-blown urban myth, inspiring a handful of stories, video games, and was allegedly was the motive between a 2014 att…

I find it truly sad the way Facebook has led us to reduce wishing friends a happy birthday to a meaningless, generic chore. It’s not Facebook’s fault. It gives us an open-ended comment box. But our laziness and sense of social obligation unfurl as a pile of “Happy Birthday!” or even “HBD!” wall posts.
I’ve been bashing this emergent behavior since 2011. Read More
Blinking white guy from ‘Blinking White Guy’ meme speaks out on ‘GMA’

The “Blinking White Guy” GIF was one of the most popular (and saltiest) memes out there in 2017. And now, the blinking white guy himself has emerged for an interview on Good Morning America.
Okay, maybe “emerged” is a strong word. Scanlon, a video producer and podcaster for the video game website Giant Bomb, has been around the internet for a while. But this year — a year during which people were constantly incredulous — that blinking GIF caught fire even outside the gaming community.
“We don’t really have a way of communicating body language over the internet … memes are kind of that,” Scanlon says in the interview. He also supplies a few of his now-trademark blinks — which are pretty different from the original, to be honest. Read more…

Perfectly timing your New Year’s Eve midnight song is an art that requires intense track analysis (if you’re that obsessive over it).
Luckily, Twitter’s doing it for you.
Folks are tweeting the perfect time to play a song in order to land on a prime moment at midnight on New Year’s Eve, using the words “if you play.”
If you play “Skyline To” by Frank Ocean at 11:59:31 on December 31st, Frank will say “that’s a pretty fucking fast year flew by” just as 2017 ends.

The internet is ablaze with ‘sex is cool’ memes

The internet is back at it again with the lol-tastic memes. And, this time, the viral meme of the hour is based on a tweet from 2015.
Twitter is ablaze with “yeah sex is cool tweets,” which appear to be based on a tweet about garlic bread posted by humour account @pakalupapito in February 2015.
sex is cool but have u ever had garlic bread

Some of the memes pretty much capture the spirit of 2017.

Twitter has spoken: Taylor Swift is not the ‘badder bitch’
/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F667062%2F03532c84-570c-4ecf-a481-e889314e542e.jpg)
Despite Taylor Swift’s grand attempt at rebranding her reputation from “innocent girl who cries teardrops on her guitar while writing love songs in her room” to “bad bitch who sits on golden throne surrounded by snakes,” the internet still doesn’t think she’s that bad.
A hilarious new meme, started after Twitter user “Nutella” challenged people to “Name a badder bitch than Taylor Swift,” has shown that people feel just about anyone — even fictional children’s show star Dora the Explorer — has a more rep as a badass than the singer.
Name a bitch badder than Taylor Swift 😍😛😤 pic.twitter.com/AkSyQBUIME
