Today I was browsing the internet, looking for blogging inspiration. I started on sciencedaily.com, which is this cool site that lists all of the most recent scientific discoveries, as in stuff that they figured out within the last 24 hours. I didn't find anything that I could really write a whole blog about, so I went to Vsauce, one of the greatest science youtube channels in my opinion. I watched his most recent video, didn't like in too much, then clicked a related video on the side, (which is the first step to disaster on youtube) which led me to one of his DONGs videos. (stuff to Do Online Now Guys) and this is what started my internet death spiral of doom. There are a lot of weird things on the internet, and I thought I should dedicate a blog post to their glory. YouTube is a great medium for that kind of thing, and it's how many people, including me, have discovered what the internet really is. There are other ways to access these kinds of things though. 4chan was a fantastic way to spread information quickly, and multitudes of memes flooded from it's domain. Unfortunately, do to the recent brony uprising, not many still populate the site. (A Brony is an adult or young adult male who watches My Little Pony. They're everywhere. I know at least 5 at our school. My own brother is one!) I'll try to name as many weird memes as I can think of, and I'll try to stay away from the excessively grotesque or graphic ones.

A meme can include a news report, a picture, a video, an action, a behavior, or anything else that gets passed from person to person quickly. The Boston Bombing was a meme, Planking was a meme, Gangnam Style was a meme, Bronyism is a meme. There are many memes that come and go, and I hope to highlight some of the greatest and weirdest memes that the internet has spawned.
First of all, LOLcats. They're everywhere. If you haven't seen them before, you haven't let yourself roam free on the web. There are many sites where you can find multitudes of cats and other animals with captions of all kinds. There are animals with invisible anything, and plenty of photos of animals displaying any sort of human emotion. You can't portray the internet without plenty of cats. There's the inte
