Teen Activist Greta Thunberg Faces Cruel Jokes About Drowning as She Sails Across the Atlantic to Battle Climate Change
Is there anything worse than Grade A Internet trolls?
Greta Thunberg is 16 years old and has made it her life’s work (so far) to raise awareness for, and to do her best to combat, climate change around the world.
Apparently, this makes grown ass people with keyboards think it’s okay to joke about a teenaged girl drowning in a boating accident, because that’s the world we’re living in today.
Thunberg wanted to attend the United Nations climate change summits in the United States and Chile, but wanted to a find a responsible way to do it – air travel is the most carbon intensive form of transportation. So she landed on boat travel in order to minimize her carbon emissions.
We are on our way!
Leaving Plymouth and heading for New York. Follow our journey here https://t.co/qJn5ShWQbB pic.twitter.com/U2Lbv3Xgzs— Greta Thunberg (@GretaThunberg) August 14, 2019
The Malizia II, a racing yacht that employs solar panels to power her underwater turbines, offered her a ride, which she accepted. She and her father set out from Portsmouth (in the United Kingdom) on a two-week sail to the States.
Good for her, right?
You would think that most adults would feel that way, but, sadly, there are plenty who don’t.
you’d think a small kind child who just wants to help the environment would be one of those things where ppl are just “that’s nice” abt but nope she makes adult men shit their pants and challenge her to sword duels on cable news
— unlicensed professional (@KrangTNelson) August 15, 2019
It turns out that grown-ups who have dug into their (incorrect) positions about climate change being non-anthropological feel the need to attack a child in order to defend their own insecurities.
Like radio personality Julia Hartley-Brewer, who thinks being irresponsible is…funny?

Luckily, there are just as many people (if not more) ready to defend Greta and her actions.
Why do you try and be like this? You do know that Greta isn’t doing this to spoil your holiday plans? She is a young person trying to help other people have a safe future. Even if you don’t like science why do you enjoy being a wanker to a young person trying to help the world?
— Matt Haig (@matthaig1) August 14, 2019
It always amazes me to see the levels of vitriol Greta attracts from the intellectually insecure, seemingly infuriated by a 16 year having the clout they could only dream of.
Must be rubbish to be one of those people.

A Guys Tried to Dissuade a Friend from Buying a Purebred Pug by Showing Him a Skull Comparison
This is a strange story…
When NoNienNietNon‘s friend expressed a desire to own a purebred pug, he went all out in trying to convince him otherwise – by showing him the cruel differences between a pug skull and the skulls of other, less bred dogs.
fuck intentionally breeding physical deformities into animals for the sake of vanity
There are plenty of arguments against buying a purebred doing and instead opting to rescue a pup from the shelter, but when it comes to the “squashed face” breeds (like pugs), you can add “the health of the breed” to that list.
Pugs and other dogs with smashed faces (aka brachycephaly) are prone to multiple health issues that shorten their lifespan and impair their quality of life. Dr. Rowena Packer spoke with The Guardian about some of these problems.
“The breeds that are increasing in popularity unfortunately are plagued by a plethora of different health problems – we are talking about issues from head to tail. Whenever we’ve got breeds that do have health problems increasing in popularity naturally we are really concerned about that.”
ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴀ ᴅᴀɪʟʏ ᴅᴏꜱᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴘᴀᴡꜱᴏᴍᴇ
ᴘᴜɢꜱ ɪɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʟɪꜰᴇ. ᴜᴘʟᴏᴀᴅɪɴɢ ᴘɪᴄᴛᴜʀᴇꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏꜱ ᴅᴀʏ ɪɴ, ᴅᴀʏ ᴏᴜᴛ. • • • • • #pugloversclub #pugslife #puglife #worldofcutepugs #pugsofig #pugsofinstagram #pugrescue #pugsarethebest #obsessedwithpugs #pugobsessed #pugface #pugstyle #puglife
Professor Paul McGreevy chimed in to talk about how the health problems impact their lifespan.
“These dogs are dying, we think, four years earlier than dogs of the same size with normal-shaped skulls. Because they have got all of the tissues in their head that a normal dog has, but they have less room, they get dental crowding and they also get the soft palette hanging down – that is what gives them the [breathing] sounds.”
Hope you’ve seen and liked my Insta stories from the trip to Switzerland and France – I have such a wonderful time here! I am hiking in the mountains, meeting sunsets and sunrises in my cozy tent, swimming in the sea and having a lot of tasty picnics! Ahhh just don’t wanna to come back home!
#carpathiansThe wrinkles on their faces, caused by excess skin, also lead the breeds to struggle with eczema, skin disorders, and even eye problems, and the “ideal” body shape of a head larger than the waist means more and more pug mamas require c-section births.
If that’s not a way of Mother Nature telling you that something has gone awry, I don’t know what is.

A Man Landed in the Hospital After Sniffing His Own Dirty Socks
If you’ve ever done the laundry of a teenaged boy, then you’re probably aware that the smell can get pretty rank, but hospitalization via stinky socks?
Read on, my friends.
A 37-year-old man from southeast China went to the hospital experiencing chest pains. There, he was admitted and given X-rays to determine the cause of his pain, as well as a cough he couldn’t seem to shake.
. It’s also the time of year when we have to cover our toes with socks 
DOMANThe diagnosis? A fungal infection deep in his lungs.
It took doctors some time to deduce the cause, and they were only able to do so after the man admitted to a habit (addiction?) of sniffing his dirty socks after they’d just come off his feet.
Feet that, it turns out, were harboring a fungus. Which they then transferred to his socks. Which he then sniffed.
A fungal infection he’d developed on his feet was transferred to his lungs when he smelled his socks, taking in some of the fungal spores (microscopic particles that allow fungi to reproduce and disperse) as he did so.
The questionable habit, combined with a weakened immune system due to life and parenting, contributed to the seriousness of the incident, according to doctors.
The patient had to spend some time in the hospital, but is expected to make a full recovery – as long as he can find a new hobby.
Like, literally anything else.
Parents of teens, be warned – maybe don’t breathe in at all while dumping that laundry in the machine. You never know what’s in there.

This Is Why You’re Not Supposed to Wear White After Labor Day
Do you know this?
The rule about not wearing white after Labor Day is so common that many people don’t even think twice about it. But where, exactly, did this rule even come from?
From rich people, apparently.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, more and more people became millionaires. High-society wives felt the need to come up with a way to tell the difference between respectable old money families and vulgar new money families. So, they came up with elaborate rules that only people in the “know” would be aware of.
Case in point, not wearing white outside of the summer months. White was only for weddings and resort wear. After Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894, it was considered the natural endpoint for summer fashion.

Like many high-society fashion trends, this rule eventually trickled down to the middle class, too. Women’s magazines in the 1950s advised women to put white clothes into storage on Labor Day until the next Memorial Day came around.
But that’s not to say that everyone accepted this rule. Some socialites ignored the trend and continued to wear white year-round, such as Coco Chanel.

Similarly, nowadays, a lot of people ignore this rule altogether. And knowing its origins, it seems completely fair to do that! The custom is over 100 years old and no longer really relevant. Yet, every year, you’ll probably hear someone citing it nonetheless.
Because of course, dahhhling!
