All Hail the FishTube
The hashtag #FishTube was a huge hit on Twitter this past week and we can clearly see why. Cheddar posted a fun video about … something. We didn’t care much about what the context behind the video was, we just couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of a fish rocketing through an absurdly long tube. It was made to be a meme…

TikTok’s ‘How To‘ Challenge
TikTok is the social media platform you need to be paying attention to. It just celebrated its 1-year anniversary and it’s only getting bigger. What makes TikTok stand out amongst larger competitors like Instagram and Snapchat is that it revolves around senseless fun. No politics, no messages — just fun, innocent content.
An example of that type of fun content is the ‘How To’ challenge. I won’t try to explain … just watch for yourself.
30-50 Feral Hogs are Terrorizing Small Town America
Where to begin …
In case you weren’t aware … there were two mass shootings within the span of 24 hours a couple weeks ago. This isn’t how memes ordinarily begin, but it’s one person’s response that sparked a trend. In response to calls for stricter gun laws, William McNabb, from rural Arkansas, offered an extremely specific scenario that he seems to think justifies owning an assault rifle…
Legit question for rural Americans – How do I kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?
— William McNabb (@WillieMcNabb) August 4, 2019
The focus of the conversation quickly turned from the tragic shootings to McNabb’s choice of words. Needless to say, the internet latched onto the idea of 30-50 feral hogs terrorizing rural parts of America.

Animals of the Internet
Sweet animal videos are the palette cleanser we need after a long week of negative news. No matter where you look, animals continue to be wholesome and we applaud the heroic humans who help them.
