Memes for People Who Are Firmly Aboard the Struggle Bus

We’re all on the struggle bus right now.

All of us. The bus has been upgraded to like a double-decker Greyhound situation and even then it’s insanely overcapacity, which just adds to the problem because WE’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ALL CLOSE TO EACH OTHER LIKE THAT.

I think my metaphor might have gotten away from me there. Just like my mental health has. At least I’ve got these struggle memes that I can look to for reassurance that I’m not the only one feeling this.

13. Goin’ down

Why have abs when you can take naps?

12. Glitter bomb

How come everything isn’t exactly what I want all the time?

11. A wrench in my plans

My smile is a lie and we both know it.

10. Low-effort

What’s the point in having robot butlers if we don’t let them live our lives for us?

9. Like and subscribe

You wanna know how I got these emotional scars?

8. So close

This feels like a very expensive and mean joke.

7. Yo, teach

How do you do, fellow kids?

6. Lightning round

When you’re too busy to get busy.

5. Play stupid games…

…win stupid prizes.

4. Small defiance

You can only push me around so far, Google.

3. Survival instinct

Sounds like you’re dating a psychopath but OK.

2. To the limit

What if I’m cute while I do it?

1. Missed opportunity

He’s literally sleeping on the chance of a lifetime.

Browsing struggle memes probably isn’t as effective as therapy, but it is considerably cheaper, so there’s that.

On a scale from 1 – 10, how aboard the struggle bus are you right now?

Talk it out in the comments.

A Company Wanted to Keep Worker’s Invention After Firing Him, So He Got Sweet Revenge

Some companies really don’t appreciate their staffers…even though they like what they have to offer.

Take, for example, the story of this Redditor. He designed a program to help a company he worked for to run its manufacturing more effectively. The company didn’t pay him for it but allowed him to tweak it on the factory floor and use it in real-life scenarios.

Photo Credit: Reddit

You would think that, if it worked well the person who invented it would be promoted, or the company would buy the invention outright.

Well, neither thing happened—he was let go of instead.

Photo Credit: Reddit

The worker was willing to sell the company the program and help them to configure the source code to meet their needs and said as much in his exit interview, but the owners had other ideas.

Photo Credit: Reddit

The company ended up paying for that decision dearly and asked him to come back to fix the program.

As he walked through the factory, he noticed something.

Photo Credit: Reddit

After about a month, the company was desperate to make a deal, but he had already moved on to a better job where his system is being utilized once again by people who appreciate it and him.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This is another lesson in karma—how you treat someone who’s working for you can make all the difference in the world when that relationship is over.

Readers shared their own experiences.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And contracts can be a very pesky thing for employees…

Photo Credit: Reddit

But employees can be a pesky thing too… because once they’re gone…

Photo Credit: Reddit

And this got people thinking…

Photo Credit: Reddit

Others appreciated the karmic retribution.

Photo Credit: Reddit

But note to self… create paper trails…

Photo Credit: Reddit

We don’t think it would have hurt this company to acknowledge what this person brought to the table, and the owners would have spent less energy doing the right thing!

Have you ever been treated terribly in a job, and if so, what was the outcome?

Fun Tumblr Posts That Sure Are Funny

I’m gonna take a controversial stand. I think Tumblr is a fun place full of fun people saying fun stuff.

THERE, I SAID IT.

Please, there is no need to commend me for my bravery, nor hoist me upon your shoulders as some truth-speaking god. I am just a man. A man courageous enough to speak his convictions, and stare unblinking into the resistance that follows.

And now that all of that is out in the open, I’d like to share with you a few of the reasons I hold this bold stance.

10. Wizarding world

Scientists Put Together the Largest Map of the Universe Ever and It Is a Sight to Behold

Astronomers who work on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey have released a brand-new 3D map of the entire universe.

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey is a decades-long project that has only had one goal: to map the universe. Now, it seems that they’ve managed to produce the largest-ever map to date.

Over 100 scientists have been working on the project, and the mapped over two million galaxies and quasars while doing so.

The scientists placed the Earth at the center of the map.

We are located at the center of this map. As we look out in distance, we look back in time.

When looking at this map, we see the light that is arriving on Earth from other galaxies. That light takes a long time to reach our planet. For example, it takes 2.5 million years from light from the Andromeda Galaxy to reach us here on our planet.

The map also shows other galaxies that are different distances from our home planet.

The scientists also explain that they use a “cosmic distance ladder” to figure out how far away a galaxy is.

This method depends on making accurate measurements of distances to nearby galaxies and then moving to galaxies farther and farther away, using their stars as milepost markers.

Astronomers use these values, along with other measurements of the galaxies’ light that reddens as it passes through a stretching universe, to calculate how fast the cosmos expands with time, a value known as the Hubble constant.

All of this going over your head a bit? Yeah, us too.

So here’s a video to explain more…

Isn’t this information amazing? Don’t forget to share the map with your friends, and let us know what you think about it in the comments!

Here’s a Handy Guide to the Many Different Ways You Can Enjoy Coffee

Coffee is a bit of a lifesaver for many. Can you imagine waking up and not having your usual cup (or two) of the most delicious, magical drink on Earth?

But if you’ve ever found yourself confused when visiting a coffee shop and being faced with a menu that contains a litany of choices, this is the post for you.

Types of Coffee Beans

All coffee is not created equal! Even the different beans matter.

Arabica: These beans are the most popular, and if you drink your coffee black, they usually offer a sweeter taste. Roughly 60% of the coffee beans in the world are arabica, and have caffeine content of 0.8–1.4% caffeine.

Robusta: These beans are less expensive and make up roughly 40% of the coffee in the world. Coffee brewed from robusta beans tends to be stronger, and are made of 1.7–4% caffeine.

Types of Coffee Drinks

Anyone who has visited a coffee shop will probably recognize a lot of these options. As you can see, there are tons of coffee drinks out there!

Each is designed to get you energized and moving on with your day.

Black coffee: ground coffee beans + hot water = delicious

Latte: A shot of espresso and steamed milk with a tiny bit of foam on top

Cappuccino: Like a latte, but with more foam than milk and typically topped with cinnamon or chocolate powder

Americano: Black coffee with a shot of espresso added

Doppio: A double shot of espresso. Get ready for that energy!

Red Eye: A full cup of hot coffee with espresso added.

Galão: A Portuguese drink that is similar to a latte and cappuccino, but with twice as much foamed milk added in.

Macchiato: An espresso-based drink that has a little foam on top. It’s somewhere between a cappuccino and a doppio.

Affogato: A shot of espresso with ice cream added! Hello, summer treat.

Café au Lait: Coffee with a little warm milk added in.

Types of Iced Coffee

Iced coffee is perfect for a hot day, or honestly, even on a cold day. Frappuccinos are enduringly popular all year!

Photo by Blake Wisz on Unsplash

Iced coffee: Exactly what it sounds like! Coffee served over ice, sometimes with a little milk added.

Cold brew: Coffee beans are steeped 6-36 hours, and sometimes cold milk is added afterward. It’s delicious.

Frappuccino: This drink is actually trademarked by Starbucks, and consists of a coffee or crème base, ice, flavored syrups and other, various ingredients for texture and taste. It’s then blended together and topped by whipped cream.

Types of coffee makers

If you thought that all coffee is made in the same way, think again!

Photo by Philipp Cordts on Unsplash

French press: A manual coffee maker that is quite straightforward. Add ground beans, then boiling water, let the coffee steep, and push the plunger. You’re done!

Percolator: These are super retro coffee makers that “continuously push boiling hot water bubbles up into the ‘coffee chamber’ to steep the coffee grains.”

Pour over: One pours hot water (slowly) over ground beans that sit in a filter, placed on top of a cup. Your standard coffee makers are basically pour overs on a larg

There you have it! Hopefully, you’ve learned something new about coffee.

Don’t forget to share this one with your friends, and let us know what your favorite coffee drink is in the comments!
