The recent proliferation of video chat has assured that there will always be at least one clean spot in my house: the spot right behind where I sit at the computer. Thanks internet for making me a better housekeeper.
Opening a new tab and forgetting which website you were about to type
into the address bar is the new walking into a room and forgetting why.
It takes less energy and it isn't quite as embarrassing to do in front

The challenge for a human now is to be more interesting to another than

There's not a year that goes by where I don't thank God for my college
education. Without all that practice knocking out term papers the

I'm pretty sure this app is an IRS plot to more efficiently target morons for audits.
Finding a job you love that pays less will pay off more in the long run. If you have to choose between a job in your field that pays less and a job in another that pays more, always choose the one you're more passionate about. You'll waste precious time at a job you're not interested in, when you could be working your way up the ladder in a field you love.
Thanks to the internet, they may as well start calling television news

Anyone else find it confusing and creepy that all of the hottest porn on Tumblr is collected by underage teenage girls? Where were these girls when I was sixteen?
