It automatically turns any Star Wars quote into an animated GIF, complete with caption of said quote.

You’re a different person online compared to your real life. It’s okay. You don’t have to irrationally like cats just because you’re obsessed with cat videos. You don’t have to literally poke the people you poked on Facebook. You don’t have to like or follow or tag or comment or stalk celebrities like you do on the Internet. Because if you did that in real life, you’d be a total creep. BuzzFeed Video imagined 7 things that’d be super creepy to do in real life, even though you do them on the Internet. [BuzzFeed Video]

This colorful tiny shirt that will impress a lot of cool tenth graders came for me in the mail today, and I had totally forgotten about it until now. Surprise! Am I alone here, or does anyone else order random things online and erase them from your memory until they arrive?

Green shows the countries you want to live in because they have little to no Internet censorship. Yellow reveals countries that you might not want to stay in too long because they might increase censorship in the future. And if you love the Internet, you should probably avoid every other color because they all have different degrees of censorship, with pink being the most pervasive (gray is not classified).

What We Did Before the Internet
Posted in: Today's ChiliI have absolutely no idea how I’m going to explain to my future kids what life was like before the Internet. Those stories of a pre-YouTube, pre-Wikipedia, pre-Google, pre-iPhone, pre-iPad day will be the modern day equivalent of my parents’ stories about walking a mile to school barefoot in the snow with two barrels of water and a fresh chicken attached to a stick going uphill there and uphill back.

You’re not looking to bang every person you meet online. Sometimes, you’re just looking for friends. But somehow, meeting someone you know online platonically has become a far more awkward endeavor than a random OKCupid date. You know her but you dont know her. Do you shake hands? Do you hug? Do you do that open-palmed half-wave? God forbid she goes for the hug and you go for the handshake like you’re in some jerking, uncoordinated, chest-poking dance.

How will the future look back at 2013? Will they be in awe of the sheer number of hours we spent on the Internet like we’re in awe of the cast of Mad Men drinking and smoking? Will they be in disbelief that many people spent most of their waking hours in front of a computer? Will they eventually be saved from the Internet or will they be even worse than us? The Poke imagines a future where the Internet was destroyed and its survivors remember how dark and time wasting the Internet era was. Go outside! [The Poke via Laughing Squid] More »

Alison Brie, the gorgeous actress that somehow juggles Community and Mad Men without creating a black hole in the Internet, is a pretty funny fellow. Oh and she’s also really, really pretty. But funny! But pretty. Anyways, she was tasked at recreating the faces of popular internet memes (think grumpy cat and overly attached girlfriend) with her own facial expressions and her effort is pretty admirable. Plus, it’s absolutely adorable. [HyperVocal] More »
