It's really no secret that the American government and its people aren't exactly handling the pandemic well, while other countries have seen far more success in the dropping rates of infection. The moral of the story is: it's looking like this won't be over any time soon for us Americans, so we all might as well get comfortable being in lockdown for a long time, whether we like it or not. Cheers!

Many of us have had that moment where you're talking to a friend or family member and then BAM, they hit you with their stupidest beliefs. After watching a single fringe Youtube video they now think they're an expert who's done "research." Sometimes they snap out of it, like this Anti-vaxx mom who switched sides.
Every industry has something they don't tell customers and clients. It could be something about the amount of quality control that doesn't happen, the arbitrary nature of pricing, or people getting away with doing the bare minimum. Lies and open secrets in various industries are like the duct tape holding your walls together. Just about any business has some weird tales, like these all-you-can-eat-buffet horror stories.
Life manages to produce an unpredictable and wide variety of unforeseen chaos that we just kind of have to deal with. Sometimes it's as arbitrary as having your mailbox exploded by lightning, and sometimes it's as small and disheartening as realizing you just tried pouring something into an upside down glass. Life has its messes large and small.
The world is full of delicious looking things that aren't actually food. A pickle chip could be a turtle, ice cream could actually be spackle, and caramel could end up being an eraser. Some things, even dangerous and prohibitively crunchy things, end up looking like delicious food.
Nothing like some two-sentence horror stories that waste no time in trying to frighten their readers. It's as if the shorter horror stories can be even scarier than the long winded, drawn out tales we're more accustomed to. These certainly left some lasting, unnerving images in our heads. Check out more spooky two-sentence horror stories over here.
This customer with absolutely no chill couldn't be bothered to be helped by any woman in the company. Eventually he got his wish, but it was far from helpful. For more customer stories, here's one where a boss reality checks awful customers and one where a Karen was defeated with overwhelming kindness.
Leave it to Tumblr to let one image of fun pizza inspire a way-too specific story of exactly how a story of one "fun-pizza" could go own. It's uncanny how easy it is to picture all of this. For more tumblr food stories, here's a thread on why super coffee is not a great idea, and a very creative story about sandwich demons.
Freddie Mercury was correct in Bohemian Rhapsody when he said that "nothing really matters," because let's face it, life is meaningless and corporations have completely taken over our lives. So if for some strange reason you're in the mood to be reminded of the dystopian hell we live in, scroll down!
JK Rowling is once again back in the limelight for yet another Karen move: this time she's signed an open letter calling for an end to online "cancel culture" on the grounds that she advocates for "open debate and freedom of thought and speech." This all sounds well and good until you remember that she's repeatedly been in hot water for her problematic comments and views about trans people and is now claiming that she's the one being oppressed. It's all incredibly cringey and we're really enjoying the reaction memes and tweets, which you can scroll through below!
For some reason tons of people think that the worst thing that can happen if you don't follow a doctors orders is that they'll get caught and be scolded. But no, there's an actual reason a medical professional tells you to do something. Medical professionals see through lying patients all the time, and patients still try to deny the stupid things they've done.
Happy Friday! You know the drill by now: once a week we gather up 25 of our favorite dank memes from Reddit, because we care about you and your entertainment. If you missed last week's installment, not to worry!

In lieu of having fans in the stadium, the Japanese baseball team Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks has opted for a robot song and dance number that is about as technically intriguing as it is creepy.
Tumblr has got a raging petard for medieval battle tactics and the consensus seems to be that what the past lacked in sanitation, it made up for with cool swords and unconventional weapons. Sometimes you see some gizmo an Italian blacksmith threw together six hundred years ago and all you can think is "that is badass." Who knew history could be fun.
