Hello, fine people! In the year 2023, it’s (depressingly) clear that the internet contains its fair share of rancor, divisiveness, and stupidity (bad). BUT, I dare to venture, that it also contains hilarity, creativity, and stupidity (good).

I spend a good amount of my time sifting through the Bad Stuff and the Less Bad Stuff to find those nuggets of the Truly Fun Stuff. To balance out some of the gnarly things we see day to day via Al Gore’s Series of Tubes, I figured it might be good to share some of the joyous bits discovered on my travels.

I should note that one of the quirks of the modern internet is how things appear, disappear, then reappear at random times, so the list below isn’t all strictly new, but it was all new to me.

Anyway, enjoy!
