'[They] loved the bacon [flavored] popcorn until someone told them what it was': Couple feeds their vegan friends meat flavored snacks, wonders if they're wrong

Vegans are fun to joke about, and all, after all, there's something about a group of people that takes themselves so seriously without an ounce of levity or ability to joke about the subject that lends that same group of people to be a prime target for humor. Heck, there's a reason why community discussions about vegans and jokes about vegans are everywhere on the internet. That being said, if you know that your friends have something that they're humorless about, it's hard to be surprised when…

Even many couples will divide the cost of travel among the two of them to ensure both people pitch in. After all, travel isn't cheap, once the costs of hotels, flights, car rentals, food, and more, are all added togethe…

'They want me to speedrun, I'll speedrun': Insistence over how to play a 'The Legend of Zelda' game ends a friendship

Different people do things in different ways. For example, when I play video games, the wonder of possibility consumes me, driving me to obsessively check every last corner for hidden loot and easter eggs, turning over (literally) every stone until I 100% the game or reach a point of sheer exhaustion where my brain can no longer function and the desire loses its spark—leaving the game unfinished and untouched ever again.
