Sloth Facing Is a Disturbing New Meme
Here's a nice, unsettling thing to look at: "Sloth-facing," also known as "Quasimoderping." Basically, you just move the eyes around a picture until it looks like a sloth and you are laughing/scared.

Baby Mugging Is What You Should Actually Take Pictures of Babies Doing
If you're not taking advantage of your baby's pliability and lack of motor control skills to pose them for silly photographs, frankly we don't understand why you even had kids.

The 24 Greatest ‘Deal With It’ GIFs of All Time
If you're like us (larger than life mo-fos who don't take no guff from NOBODY), you probably find yourself screaming "DEAL WITH IT" at people on the internet on a fairly regular basis. But why type it in all caps, when you could just post a link to a GIF on somebody's Facebook page after shamelessly confessing that you think their baby is "average at best"? After all, if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a GIF must be worth like a thousand million by our estimate. Don't like our math? DEAL WITH IT.

Continuing our unofficial "Stop Being Afraid of Insects" series, here are 16 pictures of ladybugs. Granted, most people aren't afraid of ladybugs, but they've probably never seen that video of a ladybug taking off in super-slow motion. Or had a house infested with them.

An ‘Arrested Development’ GIF Guide to Watching New ‘Arrested Development’ Episodes
The long-awaited fourth season of 'Arrested Development' finally came out this weekend, forcing thousands of people to cancel their Memorial Day plans to sit in their dark living rooms, far away from nature and sunlight instead. But mindlessly shoveling takeout into their mouths as they sank deeper and deeper into their sofas wasn't all they were doing -- they were also complaining about the new episodes on Twitter and Facebook.
