Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. These are a few of Julie Andrews' favorite things in The Sound of Music, but that was in 1965. Back in those days, things were a whole lot simpler. In 2025, we have access to literally every tendril of humanity, from any era and any location. All those options make it a little harder to answer this next question. What are your favorite things?
I'd say that one of my favorite things, and truly the crown jewel of the Internet, is meme culture. Maybe I'm biased (considering I look at memes every day for a living), but without memes, being online would be like slogging through a post-apocalyptic wasteland of bad mullets, gladiator cage fighting, and tyrannical governments–oh wait, are we still talking about the Internet phenomenon or Mad Max?
Either way, in a world that seems pitted against us, humor is the healthiest coping mechanism. And not all humor is from the gutter, in fact, the best kind of funnies are the smart and respectful kind. No need to be crude or gross to make a joke–we're more clever than that!
