‘Color TV, Rolling Luggage, Ranch Dressing’: Old people share inventions that didn’t exist when they were kids #Fun

Every generation has an invention that their kids won’t believe they once lived without. I think that my future children will be shocked to learn that iPhones and iPads were introduced when I was in elementary school. I remember a kid in my 4th-grade class talking about getting an iPad and thinking it was the darndest thing. My kids are probably going to be pretty shocked that I got through high school and college before the invention of generative AI. I’ll be sure to hold that over their heads when they start complaining about their homework. 

Some inventions become so pervasive and seemingly “timeless” that people who were born after they came out can’t even wrap their minds around the idea that there was once a world without them. There was a time when the world didn’t have Velcro. The size of the modern bottled water industry was inconceivable in the 70s and 80s. TV used to close at the end of the day.

25+ Ice Cream Memes for Chasing Down the Truck This Summer #Fun

If it’s summer and I turn down an invitation to go on a walk to get ice cream, call the police because I’ve been body-snatched. There are few things in life I love more than a warm but breezy summer night and a stroll through the neighborhood, and to end that stroll with a soft serve cone with sprinkles… is just the cherry on top of that cone. It’s the perfect treat when the weather gets warm. Sweet, cooling, creamy, delicious, I could go on. There are very few ice cream flavors that I don’t respect. Everyone has a place in the beautiful spectrum of ice cream flavors. 

I’m partial to a Ben and Jerry’s anything, though, since I’m a fan of chunks of any kind. Whatever it is, if it’s sweet or salty, I want chunks of it in my ice cream. That’s not to say there’s not a place for a simple vanilla cone. Sometimes simplicity is sublime.

Prayer for America: Prayer of the Day for Saturday, June 14, 2025 #Pray

Father, once again we are reminded that any security we have as individuals
and as a nation comes only from the abiding hope and trust we have in You.

Once again, we are cut to the heart
at the loss of life and damage to peace
that we have suffered as a nation.

So, Father, today we come to You
and we seek Your peace for the families and victims of the horrible tragedy.
For those still lost in the rubble of destruction,
we ask for the safety of Your hand.
For …

24 Memes That Are Fine and Okay #Fun

These memes are just fine. There’s no need to say that they’re anything more or less than that. They are fine, and that’s good, actually! You don’t appreciate the mediocre things in life until everything starts getting worse and worse. When your 40-minute commute turns into a 90-minute commute, you curse your past self for complaining about the middling amount of time driving to the office. When the weather goes from 40 degrees to 10 degrees, you wish you had appreciated the former weather that you used to think was “so cold.” Many people are quick to leave mediocre situations, only to find themselves in places and spaces in life that are 10 times worse than the mediocre ones. These memes may not be the crème de la crème, but they do exactly what they set out to do, and do that competently. If that’s not good enough for you, maybe it’s time to check the greenness of the grass on the other side.

21-year-old steals her 18-year-old step-brother’s car after he refuses to let her drive it to her friend’s birthday party: ‘He got his spare keys, took an Uber to the location, got in the car and drove it home.’ #Fun

The earlier you learn that life isn’t fair, the better off you’ll be. It can be incredibly emotionally difficult to see people in your family getting treated differently from you. Or better yet, seeing family members getting treated the same as you, but getting better results because of circumstances out of both of your control. It’s just not fair! But unfortunately, life is not, nor has it ever been, fair. The only thing you can control is your actions, and if you make the right choices enough times, you will be in a much better place in life than if you merely accept the station you were born into. 

Life being unfair doesn’t mean you can do anything you want. You might see stealing money you feel entitled to as “righting a wrong,” but it is nothing of the sort. Stealing and lying are still wrong, even if you can succinctly justify why you did them.

Saint Anthony of Padua: Prayer of the Day for Friday, June 13, 2025 #Pray

Holy Saint Anthony, gentle and powerful in your help, your love for God and charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were always ready to request for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to obtain for me (request). The answer to my prayer may require a miracle. Even so, you are the Saint of miracles. Gentle and loving Saint Anthony, whose heart is ever full of human …

Just because the kitchen can be a place where dreams come true doesn’t mean that it doesn’t provoke the occasional nightmare, too. Even the most accomplished of chefs have had those moments where they realize they don’t have an ingredient, some kind of mixture doesn’t want to comply, or they forget that they have a crucial component of a meal in the oven. Part of the magic that comes from cooking is how just one small error can take a dish from perfect to inedible, and it is a risk we always run when we decide to whip something up. 

Luckily, we have the entertainment of cooking memes to hold our hand through the disasters, and even give us some inspiration for new meals to try. We’ve all got to eat, but it is up to us how much effort and variation we want to put into fulfilling this need.

A Tool Box Full of Carpenter Memes for Hardworking LOLs #Fun

Need some LOLs that hit the nail right on the head?! You’ve come to the right place! If you’re a hardworking blue collar tradie, getting in early mornings and man-handling those power tools, then these memes are for you. We’re talking the kind of workers who down a Red Bull at 6am and a Diet Coke at 12pm. They eat with dirty hands but cheers their beers with satisfied hearts. It takes a strong person to do physical labor everyday, but for some it’s a way of life. You get up, do a hard day’s work, and take a rest that feels well earned. So why not get some well-earned LOLs in there too? 

 

If a tradie can do one thing, it’s laugh at themselves. Because if you can’t laugh, then how can you enjoy anything?! You think building a house goes by without any tiffs? I think not! Everyone gets in some arguments, especially when the tradies are all working on one jobsite, but whatever. As long as everything gets done and no one gets (too) hurt, then you and your fellow tradies are all swapping work nightmare stories at the dive near the site. It’s a beautiful cycle. So LOL at these memes together!
