5. Notes To My Future Husband – tomyhusband.tumblr.com
This one might be a little divisive. Notes To My Future Husband tends to provoke howls of recognition from women but – speaking here from personal experience – can just as often induce in men a short and embarrassing guilty silence. Not just a place to come and laugh then – also a place for serially bad boyfriends to come and learn something. By category: “GIRLFRIENDS – Treat mine well. They know more about you than you can possibly imagine.” “BACON – Bring home the bacon. Literally. I love bacon. That shit is delicious.”

3. I Love Charts – ilovecharts.tumblr.com
A mixed bag, this one. I Love Charts combines the just plain hilarious with the simply fascinating. Taking entries from all over the internet and beyond, an ILC post can be anything from a 19th century pie chart to a hand-drawn Venn diagram, and will almost always raise either a laugh or an eyebrow. For people who see the funny in a bar chart titled “Frequency of Lying” that spikes at “I have read and agreed to the Terms of Service,” or a colour-coded map of the states titled “Classification of young American females according to Brian Wilson.”
