Duckling or plantain? Labradoodle or fried chicken? (The first viral one.) Puppy or bagel? (The most viral one.) Sheepdog or mop? Chihuahua or muffin? Shiba Inu or marshmallow? Parrot or guacamole? Kitten or ice cream? Shar pei or towel? Sloth or chocolate croissant? Trump or dead chicken? Pita bread or my cat? Cat or pancake? Pomeranian or pancake? Dalmations or ice cream? BBQ chips or Fall leaves?

I thought my puppy was a bagel once... It was a very traumatic breakfast...

This was basically my favorite thing in the whole world last week, but only the cute ones. I can do without raw chicken and dead leaves.

I'm sorry she's getting ripped off by so many other people now, but "Snoop Dog or Real Dog" was pretty good.

I was not the only person in my peer group who, growing up, thought the cover of Odelay was a photoshopped haybale.

Also, I think Karen Zack's Twitter account is super funny, considering she is merely a human being like you or I.

I thought my bagel was a puppy once. It really wasn't too bad... until the pigeons ate him.

I am both hungry and want to snuggle cute animals.
Granted, this is basically my default state, so ...

(I would like to point out I'm a vegetarian so eating and snuggling cute animals do not overlap for me and I do like knowing the difference.)

I just said to myself the other day, "hot damn, nobody's made a teenybiscuit post yet, I'll get to engineer the ol' meme train for once" and then I let it slip by, like some train-missing asshole.
Anyway, these are rad and Karen Zack is rad and also you should play the bagel or puppy fruit ninja game some guy made because it's horrible and perfect.

DO NOT PLAY THE BAGEL OR PUPPY FRUIT NINJA GAME
(although it helps if you've been told it's a fruit ninja game and can make a conscious choice to play or not play, instead of just clicking through like a fool because somebody linked to it.)

I thought none could be better than the chihuahua/blueberry muffin one, but AGREE, the sloth/croissant one is amazing.

Parrot or Guacamole A3 is clearly neither, but rather Oscar the Grouch.

In the interests of hygiene, please keep these items away from your bagel. Linkrot suggests the idea goes back at least 10 years ago.

All I want to talk about is how modern culture is using the screenshot function to create content out of user interface layouts.
