We have a love-hate relationship with texting. Though it’s permanently handicapped our social capabilities and made us so dependent on the phone as to panic when we see the blinking light of a dying battery, texting has also provided us with some pretty fantastic pranking opportunities. Rest assured, we don’t take these opportunities for […] More
We’ve all been down the Google rabbit hole. One minute, you’re innocently typing in a totally normal search, the next, you’re clicking through the drop down menu: Can a human get a dog pregnant? Are babies double-jointed? (For the sake of clarity: no and no.) We’re not sure if these auto-searches are the result […] More
Drunk texts? They happen. Hitting up the wrong number? Also not unheard of. But between the day-to-day minutiae of everyday (night) life, who would have guessed that both distinct possibilities would converge to produce the greatest single instance of trolling known to man? Certainly not us. Luckily, when the world’s funniest “Dr. Who” fan received […] More
Superheroes—they’re just like us! They, too, wear cute tights, fret over their personal brands, drink too much Captain Morgan and, apparently, take d*ck pics. And, just like you and me, cartoon vigilantes use text messages to communicate with friends and foes. How else are they supposed to plot to overthrow villains and/or trash talk […] More
By now, it should be very clear to all involved that Tinder is best utilized for hook ups, trolling and the occasional (OK, frequent) sext. What should also be clear is that Tinder, under no circumstances, is an app meant to instill any kind of hope in the human race. Take, for example, the humans […] More
As 90s kids, we might be a little biased, but we’re forever in love with (and partially indebted to) this decade. But in all honesty, who isn’t in love? If you’ve stepped outside your apartment/house/office at any point in the past year, the evidence is everywhere: girls clad in scrunchies, chokers and halter tops swarm […] More
Navigating the twenty-something bar scene could be likened to treasure hunting for the needle in the haystack: Lots of OK options, but only a select few that really catch the eye, and maybe just one that seals the deal. The moment of victory? Snagging her digits with the hopes of pursuing the prospective relationship outside […] More
Oh, Tinder. That bastion of first impressions and superficiality. Whether you’re looking to date, hook-up and/or quench the overwhelming thirst welled up inside of you, the app exists to serve singles’ whims as they court one another with one line bios, Facebook photos and, well, not much else. But let’s face it: Not many people […] More
›These days, in a world ruled by touch screens and technology, it’s entirely too easy to bungle a text message. Whether it’s accidentally sexting your mom (god forbid), sending winky faces to your boss or simply misunderstanding a turn of phrase, some messages are bound to get lost in translation without the convenience of face-to-face […] More
You may think you’re being sly when you flip your phone’s camera, purse your lips, steady your gaze and snap a stealthy selfie in a crowded public place. Maybe you believe that no one’s watching as you stare deep into an iPhone and peruse its photos to choose the most flattering frame. Perhaps you’re even […] More
Maybe it’s the THC pumping through their veins or the smoky haze clouding up their brains (excuse us: Mind Engines), but stoners just seem to have a way with words. Whether it’s Raw Toast or Smile Holes, our blazed buds somehow manage to get their point across even when they blank on actual English words […] More
