Say goodbye to texts, letters, postcards, and emails. There's a new mailing service in town, and it comes in the form of spuds and a sharpie. That's right; there's a potato message mailing service that uses "top quality 5" Idaho Potatoes and premium black gel ink to write your message" of 135 characters or fewer. You know those things that are totally useless but totally brilliant? This wins the prize for that! Check out some of the funniest examples of messages on a potato below.

Greeting cards are the perfect way to tell someone how you feel about them. Whether it's a happy card to celebrate a birthday or birth, or a sad one to commemorate a redundancy or death, someone has carefully designed it to set the appropriate tone for the occasion. That is, except for these greeting cards, which cut straight to the chase and are pretty brutal. These are the ones you should only give to someone with an exceptional sense of humor. Or your enemy. Both work!

Flowers are the perfect gesture for almost any occasion. Whether it's to celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, the birth of a new baby, or to offer condolences, flowers are the easiest gift to send someone. Of course, the essential part of your floral delivery is the card, which expresses the sentiment with which you sent the flowers, and is usually left to the florist to write out. Typically, the messages read, "I love you," "I'm sorry for your loss," or "congratulations". But other times, they reveal the downright awkward and messy situations that people get themselves into. Reddit asked florists to reveal the most outrageous card messages they've had to deliver with flowers, and they are genuinely shocking and reveal the messy details of some people's lives!

The last few weeks have encouraged people to use their creativity in so many ways. 

One more creative initiative is the one by 55 designers from all around the world who were asked to visualize the pandemic in their own creative way -  what are their thoughts on toilet paper hoarding, video-hangouts, sanitizer-madness, social distancing, quarantining, Wuhan-bats etc.

The result is this amusing "Cards against corona" card pack with all profits are donated to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for WHO.

According to Daniel Bech, one of the creators, on their official website: "We are two Danish designers, Casper Nielsen and Daniel Bech. Together we form the design duo, Oimachi. As we were struggling to find new clients under the current circumstances, we wanted to find our own creative way to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and react to the difficulties the creative industry is going through during this time. We are now excited to introduce Cards Against Corona to the world – a pandemic-themed card deck, designed by 55 creatives to form a diverse and visually amazing set of playing cards. The artworks are made by illustrators, designers and artists from more than 30 countries and features both young, new talents and internationally recognized visual magicians".

We all have our "thing." You know, that one thing that just gets you so riled up that you can't seem to leave it out of any conversation ever. Your friends probably think you're annoying for it, but whatever, just embrace your passion and take a look at these trending dank memes that express that sentiment perfectly.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And when life gives you a card that says "happy birthday," throw a "Jesus" on there to make it about Christmas. Whether it was grandmas with extra cards, or people who just couldn't find a "hope your deviated scrotum heals" card, here's people making do. Sometimes people's wordsmithing doesn't work out as well as this in the case of really not good signs and designs.

It didn't take a lot to get something banned. Usually if anything was too fun, it was deemed a distraction and had to go. Sometimes kids would have a cool game going, then one kid would lose it, throw a tantrum and ruin it for everyone. Sometimes kids started black markets to sell contraband out of their lockers. Those were the days. For more nostalgic school stories, here are people's cringiest high-school moments.

Many of us know the struggle. Lack of internet or website permissions. A janky computer. These are things that have forced us to play Solitaire - a sure sign that you're probably desperate for entertainment. And you don't have a television or even a book to keep you occupied. This meme definitely takes us back to High School, and Reddit seems to be touched by a similar nostalgia. The r/dankmemes community has been churning out memes about the cascading cards animation that would occur upon winning the one-person card game. It started with a Spongebobmeme, in which the yellow sponge appears to be cascading like the animated playing cards. The meme has since taken many other forms. Here are our favorites.
