The “Herbivore Men” of Japan…
The “Herbivore Men” of Japan are the men who have basically given up on marriage and love. They often can’t afford it, and they don’t want to work to death to raise a family, instead they have hobbies or anime or the internet to fill up their time.

The “piano” means “soft”…
The “piano” means “soft” in Italian. The instrument’s name is actually short for “pianoforte” (soft-loud) which is short for “gravicembalo col piano e forte” (harpsichord with soft and loud). Calling it “piano” defeats the purpose of its original name that meant to depict its dynamic sound.

A Customer Accidentally Ghosted a Struggling Local Restaurant, Then Made Good
I grew up in a small town. There were a couple of local pizza joints and they were both delicious. I remember getting excited whenever a time would come when we could go pick up from there. Then, when I was about 13, a Pizza Hut came to town. We were a small enough place that this was an event. I met the manager, my older sister got her first job working there, there were parties and get-togethers, it was something special.
Unfortunately, it also meant the other places shut down. Pizza Hut, the gargantuan national chain, just swept in and took all the business. That was my first exposure to the concept of economic competition and how the big guys thrive while the little guys struggle, even when the little guys are just as good or better. I was also introduced to the idea that where we choose to spend our money makes a difference.
Local businesses and restaurants have a perilous enough time in general. When there’s economic downturn, every little order can matter. Which is why this story from Reddit user Wellworn5 on r/TIFU (Today I F*cked Up) makes for such a satisfying read. Check it out.

I’m sure this customer wasn’t the only one telling this story afterward. Little things like this add up quick, especially in tough times. Think through what you can do today.

Funny Memes and Tweets to Get Your Day Started off the Right Way
There’s a right way to start your day and then there’s a wrong way. Trust me on this one.
Let’s start first with the wrong way: that entails basically anything that will put you in a bad or depressed mood. It could be reading negative stories online, getting into virtual arguments with total strangers on social media, etc.
The RIGHT way to begin your day is to do it with hilarious memes and tweets. They give you a laugh, your stress level plummets, and you’re headed in a positive direction for the rest of the day!
That’s really all you need!
Let’s head in the right direction TOGETHER today!
Have a good one!

Great Tumblr Posts About Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Nintendo has never really been about pushing the limits of technology. They focus on novelty, and wide appeal, and just, well, fun games.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons might have seemed like an unlikely pick for one of the best selling games of all time – but with a whole lot of people being stuck at home meant that New Horizons became Nintendo’s third most successful game launch ever.
Naturally, that means the internet is talking about it a lot. And some of the best takes are coming from Tumblr.

“So we beat on, boats against the current…”
14. Jock Jams

11. Out of patience
I JUST NEED A FOOTBALL FISH.
10. Art imitates life
Damn, I gotta be broke in my fantasy land too?

We’ve got bugs.
8. Arachnophobia the game

7. Get outta here

6. Furniture is important
This is the weirdest market ever.
5. Adorable kidnapping
Video games clearly cause violence.
4. Trash pandas
One man’s trash is two raccoons’ treasure.
3. 6 feet, please
No animals allowed to cross.
2. My Immortal
This is the evan-escence of the game.
1. Strongly Agree
Every time a bell is spent, an angel gets its wings.
With players clocking hundreds and hundreds of real-time hours in the game, I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more good posts soon.
Have you played New Horizons yet? What did you think of it?
