Oliver Clegg's assertion isn't far off from the real world. Study anything, be it food, sports or apparently the arcane and you start to become a nauseating douche about it. People get creative with wizard stuff all the time, like this short and sweet Tumblr thread on a wizard IT guy. For a wholesome one, here's a thread about a guy's grandma who fell in love with d&d while battling cancer.
People that leave reviews for places that aren't open yet are something else. Yes, we're back at it again with a sloppy collection of liars getting called out for their dishonest antics. There's something deeply satisfying about seeing justice find liars caught up in weaving their webs of lies, online. It's a moment where one can celebrate the fact that that lie ran its course, and maybe the person telling the lie learned their lesson. Which is, just tell the truth.
The Doncaster Council narrated a thread on the infamous Oregon whale explosion of 1970, and how it's a good example on why it's a good idea to listen to experts, especially in times like these. For some more weird history, here's a tumblr thread that makes history fun.
Things like eating all of your partner's snacks, or going hot and cold on the mood, or watching your guys' beloved show without them being around, are surefire ways to put the relationship in hot water. If you're in a relationship, maybe steer clear of these, and enjoy the benefits of more prolonged peace while dating.
Twitter user @DinosaurDracula left people with their jaws on the floor after opening a wildly corroded can of Chef Boyardee from 1995. The monstrous contents that resulted from the grand reveal did not disappoint. Well, didn't disappoint in that they're just about as cursed as cursed food comes.
Kids have a knack for keeping everyone in the room on their toes. You never know if something you say to a kid is going to be taken completely literally. Like that one parent, who said "see ya later alligator", and proceeded to get called a chicken by their kid. The kid was clearly just trying to play the game with their logic. We certainly laughed way too hard at these.
Stranger Things just went real life. Apparently that character Eleven, off the show "Stranger Things", isn't so far off the reality that these declassified CIA documents illustrate. And that would be a very strange reality, indeed. A reality where people can move things across the room using their mind, as long as they're in possession of a special instrument. Trippy. It's like a remote changing the TV, but you can treat the room around you like it's your living TV, or something.
James L. Sutter shared a recent, hilarious Twitter thread about the fantastical oddity that is this map of New Orleans. Seriously, what is going on here? He addresses the blatant absurdity with some hilarious hot takes. Maybe, the truth is stranger than fiction.
Andrew Stuart's viral Twitter thread on his town getting invaded by an army of goat overlords is just our kind of entertainment. The confusion, the excitement, the general absurdity of the fact that the goats don't appear to give a flying frick about anything, makes this a true gem of a story.
In response to reports of lower pollution and animals running around towns while everyone is holed up at home, Twitter has responded to the "we are the virus" concept with some jocular memery. Lo and behold, the majestic highway shark is coming back to the interstate.
Zoom meetings are inspiring all kinds of cringe and spontaneous fails. The realm of the Zoom meeting can be a tricky one to navigate. Not everyone understands how it works, and through that wonderful confusion, we get some comedy gems when attempts turned into failures. We're still not over that time that a boss turned herself into a potato during a meeting, and couldn't turn herself back. Now that is beautiful.
