People were creating cat memes in the 1870s 😂 I can prove it

Apparently, the Brighton photographer Harry Pointer had a series of cat pictures in the 1870s and 1880s called The Brighton Cats. He started with normal photos of his pet cats resting or drinking milk, but then he started specializing in taking them in all these wild and humorous poses. He would have them mimicking human activities, like a cat acting like a king, one playing the violin, and even one trying to take a photo with a camera. The best part was he would add a written caption or even a greeting like "A Happy New Year" and people would buy the little cards to send to each other. It was all a way for him to make some money off his pets. By 1872, he had created over a hundred different captioned images of cats. By 1884, that number was up to about two hundred. This just proves that people have been obsessed with cats and memes for way longer than we think. 😜 #Cats #History #VintagePhotos #BrightonCats #OldPhotos #Humor #AnimalPhotos #CatMeme #CatLovers #RetroVibes #VintageFinds

I Got Free Meals For Weeks By Crashing Different Funerals

A few years ago I was completely broke and trying to find a job. I was living on ramen and cheap pasta and I was getting pretty desperate. I had this totally wild idea. I realized that if you check the local paper or church bulletin there is a funeral almost every day and with funerals there is always a reception afterward with food. My plan was simple. I would put on a button-up shirt show up a little late and just quietly slip into the crowd. I found that nobody questions the quiet person in the corner who takes a plate and looks a little sad. I had amazing food. We are talking roast beef sliders pasta salad and even lemon squares. It was so much better than what I could actually afford to eat. This whole thing worked for three straight weeks. Free meals multiple times a week. I even started to recognize some of the same funeral directors. One day a director gave me this really weird look and I knew my luck had run out. I finally stopped and went back to buying my own groceries. But yeah for almost a month I survived just by being the random mourner in the back loading up on sandwiches that were meant for the grieving. #Survival #LifeHack #BrokeLife #Humor #Grief #FunnyStory #Confessions #FreeFood #Funeral #Food #Foodie

Innuendos Got Me in Trouble?! Here’s My Fix

Ever blurted out something innocent...only to get THAT look? 😅 Yeah, me too! Innuendos can be hilarious—or super awkward—if you don’t know what you’re doing. But I’ve figured out how to use them like a pro (and avoid facepalms 🙈). Here’s what I learned: • Innuendos are sneaky ways to hint at something rude, flirty, or taboo—without saying it outright. • They’re everywhere: movies, books, convos with friends...even politics! • There are different types: sexual, accidental, innocent, sarcastic, and even nonverbal (yep, a wink counts!). • Want to try one? Just pick an innocent phrase that secretly means something else. Emphasize it with a look or a sly tone—if you know what I mean. 😉 • But heads up: Not everyone will find them funny. Use with care! I love how innuendos add a playful twist to convos and writing. They’re my secret weapon for showing off a little wit—without crossing the line. ❤️ #WritingTips #Humor #Communication #Education
