Im in ur interweb, reeding it: Stupid fun edition
We all know that there is a lot of the internet that is purely designed for time wasting. I mean – isn’t that pretty much the point (except of this blog. Natch. Quality content here, folks!).
With that in mind, I thought I’d highlight some of the sites that help me start my morning every day. You really don’t want to talk to me before I’ve had a coffee and read a lolcat….
First of all, there is teh calssic lolcats: i can has cheeseburger always delivers.
There are other places to get your ungrammatical laughs, but the voting page on i can has cheeseburger means that most of the crud gets sorted out before it gets to you. There’s various spin offs – lolbots is my favourite, and of course, there is also i has a hotdog, which is same same but different – it’s only for dogs.
There’s also Fail dogs, and, in similar vein, fail blog. Funny, but I don’t know about you – a picture of a guy with his face on fire and the word ‘fail’ underneath doesn’t make me feel like a great person. Bit hit and miss, that one. Oh, and don’t read the comments.
Often, if I’m feeling stressed, I’ll pop over to cute overload and let the baby animals work their magic on my blood pressure. Aaaaaaaah. There’s daily puppy and adorablog etc, too, but one of these sites is enough for me. They all link to each other, so if it’s your bag, they’re easy to find.
Disapproving Rabbits, on the other hand, is twice the cute, with half to saccharine. So much disapproval in so many little furry bodies.
Back to the humans. Post Secret is great for making you feel better about humanity – or your own life. It’s certianly always interesting. Only updated on the weekend, and no archives, but I always start my Monday with it. Then there’s go fug yourself, for some fashion humour (plus, a stress-free way to keep up with celebrities enough to pretend like you know what’s going on). There’s graph jam, for a quick pop-culture reference and, in the same vein (but more old skool), indexed.
Bent objects is always good for a laugh, as is alpha mom.
I won’t bore you with all the comics I need, but you should definetely, definitely check out xkcd. That man is a genius. Penny Arcade is also essential reading for all internet people – and usually very funny (unless you have no idea what they’re talking about. But even then, at least it’s pretty)
I think that’s enough random linkage for now. Hope you’ve found something to enjoy!
