Who will be the next Harry Potter? Such a question was unthinkable to anyone who grew up in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The Harry Potter books, movies, merch, theme parks, and Halloween costumes, just to name a few, are among the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. Anyone from that era would’ve told you: “Harry Potter is Daniel Radcliffe.” Image via @gayrauder In the original film series, the young wizard Harry Potter is played by Daniel Radcliffe.

On Sunday night, fans of The Bear were overjoyed to see the team behind their favorite show take home the top comedy prize at the Emmys for the second year in a row. Meanwhile, many detractors were likely face-palming, shaking their heads, and posting angry tweets about how The Bear is not a comedy. Each time the Jeremy Allen White-led series wins an award in this field, there is a resurgence of articles and “hot takes” on social media criticizing the fact that it has been categorized as a come…

Next, read about the brand new managers who messed up their workplaces really badly, like one dude who “decided to get rid of people... a month later, critical systems were failing .”

It's hard to know which ideas are winners until you try them. The creatives of the world have plenty of ideas to suggest, but the ones that wind up turning into new products sometimes leave a lot to be desired.

This woman was confused why she got charged $49, so she phoned up a call center for help. The person on the other end of the line, u/boyinblack13x, ended up going above and beyond at their job that day: they helped their customer find this missing ex. In my own personal “sure grandma, let's get you to bed” moment, I remember a time when you could share passwords between streaming services. It was a sneaky way to stay on mom and dad's Netflix plan while you went off to college. Then, these turne…

It's your job as a parent to try to raise your kid right. You try to instill good values and push them to be kind, hardworking, and to follow the rules. But of course, kids definitely do not always follow rules, especially when they're young. This person remembered a funny tale from when he was in elementary school . He did something to annoy his father, though neither of them can recall what the incident was anymore. So u/Zylly's father decided the best course of action was to take away all hi…

Teenagers will be teenagers, but also helicopter moms will be helicopter moms!

How well do you know your neighbors? Maybe not as well as you might think. The Nextdoor app is a good way to get a feel for a neighborhood, at least based on the various complaints that people post there. While the app is supposed to be a way to connect to your fellow residents to sell items, advertise events, get to know the area, or address community issues, not everyone uses the app as it was intended. In fact, sometimes it seems like most people misuse this app — and that results in some si…

You never know when a TV show or movie will create an absolute banger of a quote.

She was watching her programs!

It's not stupid if it works.

Glasses humor, because why not

It's a good show.

So you thought you were good at chess, huh?

Television tastes are subjective, sort of.

The audacity on this one truly blows the mind.
