In case you they don't call it that where you're from, cornhole is the name of a beanbag tossing game. Anyway, this kid sinks 6 bags in a row in an amazing feat that would be impossible for most adults.
Yeah, we googled em. Pretty legit. We're as surprised as you. It kind of makes sense, if you consider how long people have been around, and all the things we've done, that someone would've thought to enlist a bear in the military or that multiple people would have died in a literal whiskey flood. History is crazy.
Maybe you're the best Smash Bros or Ping Pong player among your friends. Nothing will prepare you for seeing someone who's actually really good at it. Sure, stay humble and learn from your failures, but here are some things to not get too cocky about before seeing someone who can really do it.

It's what we've always wanted to do when we see someone hoarding a perfectly good parking spot. This person just happened to have the energy, time, and dedication to really make it happen. Hats off to these acts of somewhat petty but always satisfying displays of street justice.
Arsenal forward, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyan's goal celebration is making a splash on social media right now. And it is no wonder. Aubameyang donned the Black Panther mask and let loose a "Wakanda Forever" after his goal. Pretty amazing way to celebrate a lead of 3-0 over opposing team Rennes.
Science writer Jacob Margolis chronicled the end for the proud little rover. The last thing they heard from the rover was "My battery is low and it's getting dark." That is some Hollywood level drama, man. Well, it did a great job anyway, and lasted for waaaaaaay longer than we expected. Good rover.
