Dark Humor: 2013

10 Curated Routines
1. Snowden Satire
Surveillance/NSA

"Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA is watching everything we do. I’m not worried about the government seeing my emails; I’m worried about them seeing how many times I’ve Googled "how to boil an egg.""

2. Gallows Humor
Religion/Politics

"The Pope resigned. It’s the first time in 600 years a Pope has quit. I guess even the leader of the Church looked at the state of the world and said, "I can’t fix this, I’m going to the beach.""

3. Standard Satire
Culture/Cynicism

"The "Selfie" was the word of the year. Finally, we’ve reached the peak of human evolution: taking pictures of ourselves looking at a device that is recording us looking at ourselves."

4. Medical Wit
Tech/Health

"The doctor told me I had "Screen Fatigue." I told him I’d look into it, but I’d have to check my phone first to see what the symptoms are."

Tech/Dark

6. Era One-Liner
TV/Economics

"Breaking Bad ended. A show about a man who turns to crime to pay for his medical bills. In Europe, it’s a fantasy; in America, it’s a business plan."

Misanthropy

"I find that a heavy velvet curtain and a lack of eye contact is the best way to maintain a healthy relationship with society."

8. Existentialism

9. Dark Wit
Mortality
