I Loathe everything abut this article except for moi.

It has been 29 years since computer scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, and we can’t imagine life without it. As one humourist noted, “I put so much more effort into naming my first Wi-Fi than my first child.” For many of us, surfing is now our major form of entertainment:

“9 a.m.: I’m very busy today, I need to focus and stay off the internet.

“1 p.m.: *watches YouTube* baby giraffes can stand [and] run within a hour of being born.”

— @THATERICALPER (Eric Alper)

And it’s the primary way we express ourselves:

Facebook: “My kids are perfect.”

Instagram: “My kids are beautiful.”

Twitter: “My kids are why I drink.” — @XplodingUnicorn

The FUNNIEST

INTERNET STAR

Finicky Feline

Grumpy Cat (that’s her frowning to the left) made a name for herself in 2012 when her dour puss struck a chord with like-minded humans. Kitties, it turns out, are the cat’s meow online, and former web editor Emily Huh has a theory why. Unlike dog owners, who can visit dog parks, “Cat owners don't have a cat park where they can congregate to talk about their cats,” she told hellogiggles.com. In other words, the internet is the dog park for cat people. Sadly, the internet’s most famous critter passed away on 14 May 2019 after an illness at the age of seven, but her legacy lives on in countless memes shared by millions.
