In our post-meme culture, context is the enemy of humor, and so, the enemy of the meme. Sometimes, it’s up to the shitposters to preserve the meme’s endangered absurdism. People have been juxtaposing meme tropes for ages (not just in the wake of Harambe, as some people think), but the great boon to internet nonsense has been the rise of bots. Its shining star is ShitpostBot 5000.

Google has gradually been expanding its Fiber gigabit internet service in more cities across the United States. A few months ago it announced that Salt Lake City will be the next location in which the service will go live and that has happened today. Google Fiber has gone live in Salt Lake City starting today.
Google Fiber is available in select areas of Salt Lake City. The coverage area is around 112 blocks from 100 South to 800 South between 400 West and 1300 East, reports The Salt Lake Tribune.
The company has launched an online portal that Salt Lake City residents can use to find out whether or not their area is within the covered zone. If it is, they can immediately apply for a connection, if not then they have to wait until Google Fiber is expanded to their area. The wait might not be that long as Google says that it’s going to expand Fiber to the rest of the city over the next couple of months.
Salt Lake City residents can pay $70 per month to get a gigabit internet connection. If they want the bundled TV service as well then the price goes up to $140 per month, a home phone line can be added for an additional $10. Customers can also opt for a 100Mbps internet connection only for $50 per month.

Battlefield 1 is one of the most highly anticipated games of this year. It’s not uncommon for major games to get paid expansions these days so it was not surprising when the Battlefield 1 Premium Pass was announced. It’s basically a season pass that will get you four paid DLCs at a discount. It will cost you more if you buy each paid DLC individually so the best option is to go with the Premium Pass if you plan on purchasing all of the paid DLC that will be released for this game over time.
It’s not cheap, though. Battlefield 1 Premium Pass costs $49.99 but it does promise you access to all four planned downloadable expansions. Players will be able to add both French and Russian armies to their campaign when they purchase the pass aside from the first DLC which is called They Shall Not Pass.
An additional incentive for Premium Pass owners is that they will get access to new DLC two weeks before everybody else, this starts with They Shall Not Pass, which is Battlefield’s first paid expansion and is due for release in March next year.
Premium Pass owners will also get 16 new multiplayer maps, 20 new weapons, new Operations and game modes, several new vehicles as well as Battlepacks which will start arriving by November 2016.
Battlefield 1 itself is slated for release on October 21st for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Google today announced that it’s making one of its most lucrative products more fun. Search is Google’s bread and butter, and it would not be wrong to say that search has made Google into the behemoth that it is today. The company has announced that it has added a couple of cool games to search. You can now play solitaire and tic-tac-toe in it.
Both of them are undoubtedly two of the most oldest and popular games for all ages and they can now be played in search via the web browser and through the Google app on mobile.
Firing up the games is simple. If you’re interested in playing solitaire just search for “solitaire” in Google and the game will come up on its own. Similarly, searching for “tic-tac-toe” brings up the infamous game of naughts and crosses. Players can select their difficulty level and even play tic-tac-toe against a friend.
It also pointed towards a couple of other fun experiences that have been built into search. You can ask it to tell you “what sound does a pig make” or if you’re trying to settle a bet or decide between two options, ask Google Search to “flip a coin” and it will comply.
