Tumblrs are a really sweet invention. You can look like a genius by captioning somebody else’s really epic photograph. Truly, it’s minimal work for everyone involved because a tumblr only takes off when somebody looking at the tumblr reposts it. Which really isn’t much work at all. Let’s take a look at the reign of the lazy with some of the most awesome tumblrs of 2011:

Cats that look Ron Swanson. This  blog compares cats—usually long-haired kitties—that look like the lovable government-working anarchist from Parks & Recreation. You never knew how much the mustached Ron looked like a feline until you look at this blog. Local government will never be the same.  

Feminist Ryan Gosling. Feminist Ryan Gosling has the deep-thinking, soul-gazing, man-candy actor discussing enough feminist theory to warm any gender studies major’s heart. Just know that the “Hey girl” at the beginning of each entry is totally tongue-in-cheek—girl, Ryan knows you’re a woman.  

I’m Remembering. This tumblr encourages a pesky ‘90s nostalgia that I try to keep under wraps by reminding me of my childhood fascination with Bubblicious gum and Pound Purries. It’s nice to know that others remember Troop Beverly Hills and even document their decades-long obsession for all time.

Kim Jong Il Looking at Things. This tumblr shows pictures of the illustrious North Korean leader looking at things, including soft drinks, army cadets, rice, paper, leather and fish. Yes, he looks at a lot of things, often (always) wearing his trademark black sunglasses. This site is helpfully captioned, confirming your suspicion that Kim Jong Il is, in fact, looking at a sausage.  

Engrish. This may not officially be a tumblr, but it gets the job done. Posters send in photographs from misused English—dubbed Engrish—from all over the world. Sometimes I feel guilty because I know I could never use Mandarin Chinese properly, but hey, it’s funny because they’ve obviously used some shitty English translation service, just like I would! That’s when you know that people all over the world are just the same.

Retrogasm. Retrograsm may be one of the only tumblrs on this list that isn’t sarcastic or tongue-in-cheek, so I don’t know what that’s saying about me. This one just says that I’m nostalgic, and that we were better off without things like tumblrs. Because back then we had Elvis and Frank Sinatra in black-and-white. Read this tumblr when you want to think your grandparents had it better than you ever will
