There is, in my opinion, nothing funnier than something that claims to be utterly unique but is actually very ordinary. Especially if it’s coupled with an absolute sense of sincerity and an utter lack of awareness that anyone would find it amusing. Looking through the website for FDBK, I kept switching between laughing out loud
“Dating with Intention” by Badoo immediately confuses me. I seem to have developed two different points of view, simultaneously. It’s either a really good idea, where all parties in the relationship know exactly what the other is hoping to get from it – oral sex; a two week fling; three children, a dog and a
There are few things more funny than when two unrelated subjects share an acronym or initialism. For example, MLM can refer either to Men Loving Men (in a sexual/romantic way) or to Multi-Level Marketing (not *technically a pyramid scheme, but still a huge scam). The newest words to confuse people? “Ghost singles”. Anyone who is
It’s funny to think of dating trends. Surely love is ageless and cavewomen got butterflies in their tummies when their cave partners came back and gave them a particularly nice stone. Love is universal, unending, arguably what makes us human. Thousands of years have passed but people still get butterflies in their tummies and give
There are many things that can be thoroughly enjoyable over the holiday season. Going to your hometown and drinking with your math teacher under the table, taking your nieces to see Santa, re-watching Die Hard for the thousandth time as your mother falls asleep on the sofa. However, there are a few things that are
There’s a very specific experience that’s almost universal within a particular demographic. Women who are now aged between 25-35 will recall going to sleepovers as teenagers, watching a Hannah Montana film, prank-calling their crushes, and going on sites like Omegal to make new friends, only to be greeted with a throbbing penis. Although the reactions
Toffees are lovely. They’re sweet and delicious with a lovely texture. Of course, you wouldn’t want to eat more than one because then they’re sickly and sticky and unpleasant. So it’s perfectly fitting that the Toffee app sounds great at first but quickly becomes, well, gross. Toffee launched in the UK a few years ago and
Wedding season. According to most romcoms and sitcoms, it’s the time of year that single people hate the most, probably because their core premise is that if you don’t have a significant other, you must cry yourself to sleep every night, hugging a cat/tub of Ben and Jerry’s. In reality, of course, it’s an opportunity
Bumble and TikTok are coupling up! Unfortunately, it’s not so that they can fall in love, and we probably won’t see them grey haired and holding hands, surrounded by their grandchildren – but they hope that their pairing might help others to achieve the same thing. So let’s see what all of this is about.
I think I can speak for most people when I say that complicated legal cases are, well, usually a bit much for me. I couldn’t define the word ‘antitrust’ (although it sounds like something straight out of 1984) and I’m confused by the idea that Apple doesn’t have a monopoly on its own app store.
