We’ve seen a smaller version of this picture before, but is anyone going to complain about a semi-repeat of Uhura? I thought not. (Collider)

When you ask your child what they want to be for Halloween and they respond with “Princess Nyan Cat,” the only possible response is “yes.”

The Harlem Shake is a dance that originated in, you guess it, Harlem and should probably not be confused with what has now become an internet meme. The meme doesn’t really have anything to do with the original dance and is more an experiment in how ridiculous you can be. Well, it basically started this month and soared in popularity, so much so we’ve now got a Star Wars version to watch. Be sure to keep an eye on the Stormtrooper at the very end.
How would you like to see the same concept done with Star Wars action figures instead? We’ve got that after the jump.

The internet was killing me for content today so you get a Game of Thrones Daenerys Targaryen My Little Pony I created by using this flash program DeviantArt user GeneralZoi made. I also made one of myself as Dany because I’m that girl. (via The Bird and the Bat)

Sometimes I wonder why my cats aren’t famous. Then I realize owning a famous cat is a lot of work I probably don’t have time for. So I watch famous cats online instead. Like Tardar Sauce, who you probably know better as Grumpy Cat. I think CBS should get on a Christmas Special with this kitty ASAP. The owners just posted a fantastic video that gives their famous kitty a voice. An adorable, adorable voice. It’s autostart so we’ve placed it after the jump.

Cat owners have long joked that catnip is straight up drugs for felines. No two-ways about it, when your kitty gets a whiff of the stuff, he or she is in lala land and it seems advertisers are finally admitting it – Cats have a problem, but that’s ok as long as you buy our product to keep them from stinking up your house. And how did Litter Genie decide to get this message across? Why, by harkening back to the psychedelic 60s of course! I don’t even…

A while ago, someone posted an image of their 2-year-old’s Joker Halloween costume. For some reason, Reddit just picked it up and made a meme out of it. It’s interesting to see what a baby Joker would concern himself over. Take a look.

Memes are hard to kill; it’s basically in their definition. And the easiest way to deal with them is really to try and ignore them. But if there’s one we wouldn’t mind eradicating from the internet, it’d be the Idiot Nerd Girl Advice Animal meme. It’s emblematic of the persisting idea that tells people it’s ok to nastily call women out for not being “authentically geeky” enough. It’s basically the idea that you can use that old middle school tactic of calling people “posers” because they don’t adhere to your own particular rules as to what qualifies a “geek,” or because they happen to have boobs and read comic books.
Dark Horse Comics editor Rachel Edidin, however, had the idea to try and turn that around a week ago, by creating a sort of anti-meme that, instead of presuming that the pictured girl is pretending to like nerdy things in order to get attention, presumes that the girl actually knows her stuff and is tired of people assuming she doesn’t because of her gender. And a week later? A quick check of QuickMeme is about half full with defiant nerd girls. We don’t know how long it’ll last, but we like it.

Finally, Pinterest has provided some safe, high ground for women on the internet to talk about kale, crafts, and dresses while the rest of the web is littered with rude memes, semi-nude girly pics, and trolls. But now, men want their piece, and they are storming our castles, m’ladies! Clearly they have no idea what they’re up against. College Humor proudly present: The Fall of Pinterest.
