Here are the Largest Religious Groups Across Every County in the America
Do you ever wonder what exactly is the breakdown of religious groups where you live? As I drive around town, I see churches, mosques, and temples, and I ask myself that question all the time.

The Washington Post gathered data from the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies to put together the following map, which will answer all of those questions for you. As you can see, certain regions of the country are strongly dominated by one religion, especially the South and the Northeast.

15 People Who Definitely Lost the Genetic Lottery
Genetics are a tricky thing. You could live your best life, eat healthy, exercise, avoid drinking and smoking and still end up with some horrible disease.
It’s tragic, but true.
In this AskReddit article, people share how they believe genetics cheated them.
1. Bad knees
“Knees. They just don’t work properly, even after the operations to keep them from dislocating. They always hurt.”
2. Squinting
“My ‘Beautiful’ light green eyes are so bad at denying light that I constantly squint, which leads to headaches.”
3. Damn him!
“Unibrow. My younger brother has thin half-eyebrows. Me (F) has one long, thick and bushy brow that goes from one hairline clear across to the other.
That rat bastard brother is also nearly completely hairless on his arms and legs. And blond.
That f*cker.”
4. Ugh
“My fathers family has early onset dementia, my mother’s family all live to be 100.
So I’m destined to lose my mind at 50, and spend the next half century wondering were I left it.”
5. No fun
“I’m Arab on my mum’s side and Italian on my dad’s.Basically I have to spend a lot of money on hair removal.
I’m a woman, for everyone asking.”
6. That sucks
“Severe acne.
Looking back over old family photos, it seems to be a common feature. At least it’ll clear up at some point.”
7. Rough
“Psoriasis all over my torso/legs/scalp.
It’s kinda weird to bring it up on a first date as well, so I got ghosted an awful lot before finally getting it under control.”
8. Bummer
“My orthodontist legit said I had a monkey face and that my jaw kinda went outwards and she said the surgery wouldnt be so costly, only for my dad to say we couldn’t afford it. Hits hard sometimes.”
9. Take care of yourself
“Both my grandfathers dropped dead at age 59.
Both from cerebral hemorrhages.
I have high blood pressure.
I’ll turn 52 this summer.
Tic, toc.”
10. One way…
“I am 6 ft tall and have the wingspan of someone who is 5’4. Basically a human T-rex.”
11. That’s strange
“My great-grandfather had 3 kidneys. I’ve had kidney problems since I was a baby.”
12. That’s not good
“Absolutely shitty teeth. Some people don’t have to wear braces. It was crucial for me to wear them but my parents weren’t educated enough on the matter to make me wear them. So now, at 28 i’ve had more teeth surgeries than i can count, finally have them straight but the price and the pain i had to endure for them is 20 times more than i would have 20 years ago.”
13. And the other…
“I’m 6’2 and have the wingspan of someone who’s 6’6. I look like fucking slender man.”
14. Luck of the draw
“Twin Gets Nothing, I Get:
•Colour Blindness
•3rd-Generation Acne
•HyperMobility
•Muscle Spasms
•Creaking Bones
•4th-Generation Early Arthritis”
15. Bad news
“I’m a woman. I have a hot mom but came out looking like my dad.”

Hilarious Twitter Thread Had Everyone Insulting Babies,
Who doesn’t love babies? They’re so sweet and adorable and innocent. They’re literally called “bundles of joy.”
Well, not everyone feels that way. I know plenty of folks who aren’t really enamored with toddlers. A lot of them even took to Twitter after this tweet by Twitter user Charlily.
Let’s slander newborns. I don’t like their lil swoop hairdos.

For people who don’t do any work, they sure do sleep a lot.

Poor communication skills. As demanding as they are.

They don’t even know how to chew. They get brand new teeth and still try to swallow food whole like a boa constrictor. Then got the nerve to choke all silly and stuff

they always clapping their hands and no sound comes out. pic.twitter.com/9AXVzG2VDp

Hmm, I guess babies are kinda useless and lazy.
I mean, they should just sleep at least 8 hours per night, like all decent people
— Annalisa Conti (@AnnalisaContiUS) March 24, 2019
Most of them loom like aliens that haven’t finished developing yet

Mom’s Racism is Laid Bare After Dad Got His Daughter’s Hair Braided
The world can be an ugly, ugly place. You’d think we’d have gotten over this kind of appalling behavior by now, and yet here we are.
Nick Harris is a black man who has a daughter with a white woman. After he recently had their daughter’s hair braided, his “Babymom” was not pleased – at all. In fact, the woman clearly has some pent-up issues that we can sum up with one word: racism. Harris shared the interaction on Facebook for all the world to see.

Damn. She really went there.

Babymom then took the argument to another level.

Then it got worse.

After Harris shared the encounter on Facebook, people commented with their thoughts. As you can imagine, most were in favor of Harris and his seemingly harmless act of simply getting his daughter’s hair braided.

Poor kid. Hopefully “Babymom” will come around soon and see the error of her ways.
