As a digital native I understand all too well that the internet is the most beautiful place in the world, and of course, also the scariest.
So to ease your internet woes, here are the funny things I’ve found online that have made my day a little brighter, and I hope it helps you to navigate your complicated lives with a little more pep in your step.
1. My sister is doing the thing again
Throughout my young life, some of my most powerful crushes to date have been dogs. Dogs are the most wonderful things on the planet and I feel like this young woman is prone to that same very sickness/gift.
2. What I wish my therapist would say
Anything Lisa Gilroy does is just pure gold but this one really sent me running for my mental healthcare plan.
3. Gay shark
Dur dum, dur dum. Enough said.
4. Juice boy

5. FENTON!
This is one of the first internet videos I saw that really broke my neck with whiplash (from laughter, obviously). I think I was about 14?
6. Quadruple threat
Reductress is such a wonderful receptacle of lols. Here is one that recently made my partner howl.
7. Black bear
I really connect with the pure state of delusion this young woman is in as she calmly and respectfully tries to reason with a black bear. Turns out it paid off because she walked away without a scratch.
8. Real Housewives ASMR
I watched this genius piece of content years before I ever watched an episode of what I would later dub “the greatest show on television”, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. This show has kept me sane, laughing, gasping and entertained for the last three years and I have a feeling this ASMR version will demonstrate why …
9. Lookit ze beans
Apparently children call cat’s toes “beans” and that is probably the most adorable thing ever.
10. Me on Valentine’s Day
This viral video (of yours truly) has followed/haunted me for the last few years and even though I can’t control it, I love that she is still making waves around the metaverse.
