Man, aren't lists on the Internet just great? They’re just dandy, for writers and readers alike. After all, they require no significant effort to make and aren’t taxing on readers’ attention spans. You just gotta love those lists!
In celebration of just how great lists are, let’s take a look at the top 10 items that can be listed and, furthermore, are even listed here!
1. Bees!
Holy cow, bees! Bees are incredible, aren’t they? They make honey and fly around a whole lot. I mean, they don’t really have very much to do with lists, but dang, you can list the heck outta them!
2. Neil Gaiman’s face.
Neil Gaiman is a wonderful author, and he wouldn’t be caught dead writing an arbitrary list of things for the Internet. But goodness gracious, his face is certainly list-able! After all, look at how the No. 2 item of this list is Neil Gaiman’s face.
3. The Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Wow! There’s a Central African nation on this list! That’s amazing! Who knew that you could list Central African nations? I certainly didn’t, but this list proved me wrong, didn’t it?
4. The entire filmography of Danny DeVito.
Hey, everyone loves Danny DeVito, right? We could probably add his body of cinematic work to this list! It bears absolutely no connection to the other points of this list, but that doesn’t matter. The important thing is that we make a list of things for the Internet.
5. This GIF of…whatever this is.
Great googly-moogly! This animated GIF is going to give me nightmares for years, but it’s definitely list-able, isn’t it? Isn’t the Internet amazing?
6. This jar of A. A. Milne’s tears.
For the record, I have no idea if this jar actually contains A. A. Milne’s tears, but even if it doesn’t, it sure as heck can go on this list. Thanks for helping contribute to this list as well as to the general canon of children’s literature, Mr. Milne!
7. The English lexicon.
Hey, check it out! Here are some words about words in a list! I’m being so meta! Isn’t that what the youth are into these days?
8. Right-aligned text.
Holy self-referentiality, Batman! Now even the formatting for my article is getting in on the action! Isn't that just peachy?
9. The dark, empty void of sadness manifesting itself as a literary, last-ditch attempt to remain relevant.
See? Even existential sadness can be listed! In fact, making lists all the time is a surefire way to ensure that even if this doesn’t make the list, its overwhelming presence can be felt during the soul-sucking excuse for a creative process that defines content mass-produced for a media audience.
10. This list.
Wow! Look at me, being reflexive! Please love me! Please! I’m so alone!
