Welcome to Only Good Internet, where — like a bloodhound that can only smell memes — I track down cool stuff from around the internet and drop it at your feet.
This week, I happened upon a case study in vibe checks. @Soellegirls on TikTok have an absolutely fantastic and extremely watchable series of videos in which they list the top men they would leave their drinks around. I’m obsessed. Maybe it’s the ranking format, maybe it’s the way they both solemnly nod when they agree with the other’s suggestions, I dunno, but every time one pops up on my FYP, I watch the whole thing.

“Look up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s—”
I always like to finish every week by leaving you with a little something that doesn’t necessarily have a home in a BuzzFeed post or anywhere else, but I feel like I MUST share with you, because I can’t get it out of my head. This week, it’s all about Brian:
That’s all for this week, see you later! And remember, if you want more like this, you can subscribe to the Only Good Internet newsletter (if you want, I mean, don’t let me tell you what to do, ya know?).
