The best Instagram that everyone should go follow right now, Satiregram, doesn’t have any pictures at all. Or well, that’s not completely true. It obviously has pictures but all of its Instagram pictures is just text captions describing terribly cliche pictures you always see on Instagram. It’s riot-inducing hilarious because it’s absolutely true.

YouTube: you know it as a land where even the most adorable video of a puppy can devolve into a thread of racist, sexist, homophobic gobbledygook in an instant. But would it help if the site’s notoriously awful comments were sung by an angelic choir?

Sometimes, it’s your own head where the wild things are. Monsters follows a young woman as she slips in and out of a private, demon-filled nightmare. But can figments of your own imagination become a threat to your sanity?

Do animals wish for immortality? Whether they do or not, we grant a select few the awkward honor of fame after death through taxidermy. But are these specimens accurate depictions of their former organisms or just caricatures of the species ideal?

Over on Fox News’ website, Shepard Smith gives us a tour of the the Fox News Deck’s upgraded studio which inexplicably features a team of staffers in the background working at what appear to be gigantic tablets. According to Smith, those are actually "information specialists" frantically pawing away at what Fox calls BATS—or big area touchscreens (most likely Microsoft hardware running Windows 8)—that puts 55-inches of Twitter feeds and other news sources at their fingertips. What?

Unboxing videos are something of a tease, where you get to see someone tear open a brand new gadget without you experiencing any of the joy yourself. On the upside it lets you know what you can expect in the box, so you know if your box might have left out one accessory, or if it is different from what’s in the videos. We have created several unboxing videos ourselves in the past, such as with the 2013 Nexus 7 tablet which we hope was of immense value to our readers/viewers. Obviously not everyone feels the same way about unboxing videos and YouTube creator, Numberphile, has come up with a parody video of sorts where they unbox a handful of different calculators. According to the video’s description, “We put three calculators through their paces with a series of special tests.” It’s a pretty hilarious video and if you’re feeling the Monday blues, this will definitely cheer you up (no promises!). The video itself is rather lengthy at 13:50 so you might want to grab a drink or a snack, sit back, and enjoy!

Unboxing videos are perhaps the biggest waste of YouTube storage to grace the planet: watch a pimple-faced youth take a phone out of a cardboard container and play with some basic functions! Woo. But here’s one worth watching.

Do you believe in ghosts? If you do, then you might think Ghost Singles is a welcome addition to the growing list of dating sites on the Internet. As its name implies, the site aims to help single ghosts find their ghostly match.
The process to find an undead match is simple enough. In fact, it’s just like most dating sites for live people. You can sign up to create a free profile (after accepting their Terms of Use which include “being taken less seriously by the living because your photo was seen online” and “being accosted and/or captured by Ghostbusters”) before browsing the profiles of others who have already signed up.
You can also opt to go online to chat with other people–er, ghosts who happen to be online. In fact, I think the highlight of the entire ghostly dating experience is the chatroom, which you should definitely check out if you plan to visit the site.
Oh, and make sure you turn your speakers up. Waaaay up, because ghosts can be a little timid. If you know what I mean.

Do you know how to get the truth out of people? Not from some sort of movie truth serum shot or on a late night talk show or even in a conversation between two ferns, the way to pry the obscene truth is to stick them in a hot tub and feed them drinks. Life is so much clearer when everything is bubbling around you.

There’s an ever-increasing trend to display information in the form of tall, indecipherable infographics: long colorful panels that look like they contain a wealth of information, but don’t. That’s not a good thing.
