There she is: the average pleb. She leaves the office at 5 p.m. on the dot. As she makes her way down the beaten path, she imagines turning on an educational podcast while cooking a nutritious dinner. Maybe she'll even read a book before bed. 'Yes...' she thinks to herself, 'tonight is the night I do that self-care thing everyone's been talking about.' Halfway through her 45-minute commute on a particularly crowded train, fast food starts to feel pretty appealing. When she finally gets home, she plops down on the couch and tears open the Taco Bell wrappers. Avengers: Endgame is already queued up.

As the credits roll, she knows what she must do. It's time to sleep. 'It's bedtime' she tries to convince herself as her hand reaches for the phone. 'Just one meme' she tells herself. Soon one meme becomes fifty. She chuckles lightly, her gleeful face lit up by the glow of the screen. 'This is the life' she says. 

You know when the DJ at the club yells "all the single ladies out there MAKE SOME NOISE!!!" Yeah, the dude wants us to make noise because of all the struggles singles go through. He knows it. We know it. And we cheer in response to his call like idiots when we should really be crying. Then again, that's what clubbing is about - cheering in the  

 Dating apps have only made the search for the right man even weirder because you have to sift through a whole bunch of weirdos before finding Prince Charming - if he exists on the apps, that is. Twitter is one big online therapy session, and the singles of Twitter take to the platform on a daily basis to share their funniest thoughts about dating apps on a weekly basis. Scroll down for the best tweets from this week. 

If you're at all connected to what's going on in the world, you're probably aware that many people in the United States seem to be worried about a gas shortage. Here in New York, the last time we had a gas shortage (after Hurricane Sandy) was pretty debilitating. Lines of cars sometimes went for miles, filled with worried and agitated drivers - and then, of course, there were the ones who had to find a way to navigate around them. This time it's not a natural disaster that's causing mayhem. This gas panic is a direct result of last week's cyberattack on Colonial Pipeline, a major pipeline that provides gas along much of the East Coast, and all the way to Houston. 

Colonial Pipeline announced today that they've restarted their pipeline system and have resumed deliveries, but that can't undo the panic and the memes its inspired. The ransomwear attack influenced hordes of frantic drivers in the Southeast to stockpile gasoline in whatever containers they had available - a move that evoked the country's toilet paper crisis from the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis. While several photos and videos of people stockpiling gasoline in unorthodox containers have been flying around, none have faced as much ridicule as a photo and video of people attempting to collect gasoline in plastic bags. 

And this is how someone thinks they should get gas...🙄 #gasshortage pic.twitter.com/XT7APSI9rM

Though both the photograph and the video are real, neither of them were taken in the last week. In the trunk? Gasoline that two men had attempted to steal, not in the United States, but in the Mexican state of Puebla. The video was taken in December of 2019, and according to Snopes, it depicts a woman doing some weird sh*t in Houston, Texas. Despite the misconceptions, people on Twitter have been eating up the idea that people around the country are filling up bags with gas. It even got so bad that the US Consumer Product Safety Safety Commission published a thread urging citizens not to horde gas in this unique manner. Even more entertaining than the thread (which should not exist) are the roasty tweets that users are firing out left and right. We know it's kind of shitty to make fun of people who might have a screw loose, but god, we can't help but enjoy the spicy savagery. 

Every week, the ladies of Cheezcake choose a hot celeb who's trending to celebrate, and we seem to be getting thirstier every time. Last week, the Twitter-sphere was all over Chris Evans. This time around, Twitter is totally fangirling over Canadian singer and total hottie Shawn Mendes. We're loving Canadian guys as of late, and Shawn is def a fan favorite. He may be with Camilla Cabello, but we'll never stop pining for him. Cheers to getting personally serenaded by Shawn, but till then, the only thing we can do is cherish the thirst tweets below. 

Trying to pass off counterfeit bills is one of the dumbest things that a human being can do. Just picturing the look on this guy's face when he returned to the gas station, and saw those cops waiting to take him in is priceless. The fact that he had almost $2K of counterfeit bills on him was the true icing on the cake. 

If there's one group who have managed to thrive through the global pandemic, quarantine, and social distancing, it's gamers. While most have struggled to adapt to new and awkward methods of remote socializing, gamers simply retreated into their established Minecraft realms and WoW parties and carried on as usual. For both seasoned and noob gamers alike, we've got a bunch of nerdy memes for people who'd rather sitting in front of a console or gaming PC. 

Wild nights out at the club are generally fueled by alcohol, but you know what else it fuels? Super embarrassing drunk texts. The thing is, you'll only realize how embarrassing the texts are once you wake up painfully hungover and mortified the next day. It'll be too late to take it back once the light of day hits, and there's nothing you could do except wallow in your embarrassment. We dug up a Reddit thread from 8 years ago about the worst drunk texts people have sent, and damn, people in the last decade really went hard. Have you sent out worst drunk texts than the ones listed below? 

Nothing like some good old fashion funny cat memes to ease outta the BLAH zone. Cat memes were mankind's first example of artwork, first displayed on papyrus in Ancient Egypt. The truth is that the Egyptian deities man once worshiped were representations of the feline overlords and the meme lord who immortalized them. So all hail the cats and enjoy some of the funniest felines around. If looking for something more on the cute side, then these fantastic cute cats and precious kittens are just what the doctor ordered. Or perhaps a tone of humor a bit darker, with these 76 Cat memes That are LITERALLY the worst. Or, let's mix it up a bit and help us decide which of the top 10 breeds of cats are really the cutest, we can't do it without you. But if these are just too much for you, this movie gif  that sums up really how popular cats are.
