Man, this wild Twitter thread shows the unfolding, and escalation of a young woman's allergic reaction to wheat/grass. She goes from looking like a human being to looking like some kind of alien thing. Thankfully, she was able to get the help she needed to address the intense allergic reaction. So, we can all look back on it now and have a good, innocent laugh.

This Tumblr thread called out the impacts of movies in terms of fueling unrealistic physical standards, when it comes to fitness. It addresses how bodybuilding culture can manifest in convincing people that they should look a certain way (or that it'd be nice to), when in fact those very images are of folks that are sometimes severely dehydrated.
Ah, yes, thank you to Ryan Reynolds for tapping into his far reaching platform to use it to accomplish good, and to spread awareness. He's started up something of a movement, where celebs nominate other celebs and friends to spread the message about staying home and staying safe during the Coronavirus. The more awareness we can spread to folks during these times, the better.
Someone on AskReddit asked for doctors to share their best stories of people coming in, and seeking them out to ask for professional medical advice for their "friends." Folks have a funny blindness they apply toward not knowing how obvious it is that they're asking advice for themselves, from doctors. At least the doctors seem to take it in stride, and exercise an understanding of the process.
Someone on AskReddit asked for people to describe the sliver linings they've managed to find in their lives, amidst the quarantine. The Coronavirus has surely thrown much of the world into a spiral of panic and fear, and amidst that storm of chaos, it's nice when folks are able to find the silver linings when they can. Everyone stay safe out there, and wash those hands!
Due to the Coronavirus barbershops and salons across the globe are shutting down. Makes sense. With that development, people are coming to the terms with the inevitable nature of their hair, and that it will grow, grow, and grow some more. And after all that growing, will come some new and unplanned hairstyles.
People are bonding over their "quarantine routines" on Twitter. What else are we going to do? Some of these may prove effective, while others may get a nice and satisfying laugh out of you. Waking up and staring at the phone as you ponder the infinite abyss of existence is always a fun hobby to pick up, in these times of self isolation.
Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the various plans they've had to cancel, as a result of the Coronavirus outbreak. As time passes on by, pretty much everything as we know it seems to be getting cancelled. It's a strange time, and the futility of planning has never been felt more painfully. Everyone stay safe out there, and wash those hands!

In these trying times, you wouldn't think John Lajoie of The League and "Show me Your Genitals" fame would come back to record another song. Things are weird right now, but the message is on point.
Faheem Younus, is the Chief Quality Officer and Chief of Infectious Diseases at University of Maryland (UCH). He shared a Twitter thread that aims to debunk 10 common myths surrounding the Coronavirus. Hopefully, folks catch wind of this information and work to spread it to others that might be caught up in the otherwise disorienting whirlwind of misinformation. If you're looking for more information about the Coronavirus, check the CDC for regular updates.
This security guard found themselves in a terrifying, potentially life-threatening situation with an employer that wasn't going to budge. Eventually, things shook out in their favor. Sometimes employees take a more direct approach, like the way these workers responded to their boss saying they were unqualified for their job.
Doctors, Nurses, certified nursing assistants, pharmacists, and anyone even tangentially related to medicine constantly have to talk to people who have no basic understanding of how their own body works. Patients will do stupid things, lie, and even deny the most WTF stuff. It's kind of sad to think about where we'd be without medical expertise, and it's flabbergasting to see what people think is healthy behavior.
