A tweet from user @MJohnsonFTW has gone viral recently due to some Netflix shenanigans. Like most streaming platforms, Netflix is set up to allow multiple simultaneous users from one account; 2 at once for a standard plan, 4 at once for premium. It also allows for up to 5 profiles to keep different users’ preferences and tastes distinct from each other. This is all really useful if you, say, share your account with your family or a roommate. But what happens when you share it with your boss?

I gave my boss my Netflix password so he could watch Tiger King and this man has lost his mind. His kids added their own profiles and he changed my profile to ours. Nah, fam pic.twitter.com/5wxbpf0K3H

Apparently Marcus’ boss Kevin didn’t have an account but really needed to get it on this Tiger King craze, so Marcus kindly shared his password. What he didn’t expect was that Kevin would add profiles for his kids, and have the AUDACITY to change Marcus’ profile to “Kevin/Marcus.”

He really buggin pic.twitter.com/7OtoFwW8WZ

The tweet started to spread partially out of amusement and partially out of outrage as any instance of boss/employee exploitation is not a good look. But as Marcus stated multiple times, this was not actually a big deal.

Lmfao just so we’re clear, I did immediately correct it pic.twitter.com/JZllQ5jkb6

— Marcus D. Luffy (@MJohnsonFTW) May 8, 2020

It seems a strong possibility that Kevin isn’t the most tech-savvy guy, demonstrated here by his confusion on what going viral means.

Oh yeah, and when he picked me up to take me to lunch today, I tried to tell him we were going viral and he started whispering and said, “wait, right now?” He thought it meant we were on live pic.twitter.com/Ww9d6gUwSr

— Marcus D. Luffy (@MJohnsonFTW) May 9, 2020

Kevin and Marcus seem to enjoy a close, playful relationship.

My boss told me that my check was under his keyboard in his office…

This MFer left me a whole scavenger hunt with 11 different clues before I finally got to my check.

I might actually work for Michael Scott pic.twitter.com/jflt8bX6nr

— Marcus D. Luffy (@MJohnsonFTW) July 13, 2018

And as Marcus insists, this is not a toxic workplace. Just a couple of guys with a genuine kinship who enjoy messing with each other.

Last thing, I’ve worked there for 7 years & these people literally treat me like family. They give me money whenever I need it, invite me over for holidays, always look out for me, etc. lmf*o I love them. My boss just changed my profile to f*ck w me bc we always prank each other

— Marcus D. Luffy (@MJohnsonFTW) May 8, 2020

It’s refreshing to see that kind of wholesome story come around. Bosses like that are definitely worth holding onto.

Have you ever had a boss you particularly liked?

When we think of nostalgia, we generally go back to the types of media we consumed when we were younger; movies, TV, music, books, etc. But what about the things we literally consumed? The foods and drinks that were once staples of our lives and then one day just stopped showing up on shelves? That’s the type of thing you just don’t remember until some photo floats across the internet and shocks your taste buds into regression.

Here are 15 nostalgic foods you might not even remember that you forgot.

15. Sobe

Sobe still makes a few drinks, but most of their products are discontinued, and they switched away from their iconic glass bottles in 2010.

14. Altoids Sours

The Altoids company has been around for over 2 centuries and is still makin’ stuff today, but the sours were discontinued in 2010 due to poor sales.

13. Ice Breakers Liquid Ice

According to SnackHistory.com:

“[Liquid Ice] had a bitter taste which was due to an artificial sweetener, called Neotame, added to the candy. The bad reputation created due to this ended up in the candy being discontinued a year after its first launch [2004].”

12. Red Pistachios

Apparently, back in the day, most pistachios sold in the United States were harvested by traditional methods in the Middle East. This process left some unsightly splotches on the shells, so sellers would just die them a bright color to cover it up. Today, most American-sold pistachios are harvested via revamped methods in California, with no more splotches and no more dyes.

11. Nickelodeon Green Slime Ice Pops

No one knows where the Nickelodean slime aesthetic came from, or where it went. We only know that for about 10 years, it defined the world of children.

10. Milkfuls

These bad boys had quite a little cult following. After their disappearance from shelves, people started selling them on online markets for huge mark ups. Now, there’s pretty much none to be found.

9. Oreo Cakesters

These plump delicacies haven’t been on shelves since 2012.

8. Fruitopia

These once-ubiquitous drinks all but disappeared in the U.S. around 2003.

7. Reese’s Bites

Rumor has it these tasty little things were discontinued in 2008 due to be considered too much of a choking hazard.

6. Hershey’s Whoppers Chocolate Malt Syrup

A 2013 Amazon review of the product says, quote, “My husband loved this syrup for his milk, but Hershey’s has discontinued it and no one else seems to have filled the market. So sad!”

5. Creme Savers

These cousins of the Life Savers with weirdly memorable ads disappeared in the early 2000’s.

4. Fritos Lime & Chile Corn Chips

Not sure when these things went away, but we did find a change.org petition to bring them back if you wanna sign it.

3. All Sport

This Gatorade sports-drink competitor is still out there, but not nearly as widely as in its heyday.

2. TasteTations

These hard candies by Hershey’s haven’t been available since 2008.

1. Pilsbury Toaster Strudel

If you miss these Pop-Tart one-uppers, good news, they’re not gone! You can still get them. Though the blue frosting is a bit of a relic.

It’s enough to make you hungry for a bunch of old, forbidden food. We wouldn’t recommend just going around eating long-expired snacks, though. Probably not the experience you’re looking for.

What else should go on this list?

There are two types of people out there; those who love Star Trek and those who are wrong. Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek (at least the first few incarnations of it), were an optimistic view of the future; a vision of what humankind could accomplish when we left greed and misery behind and embraced science, cooperation, exploration, diplomacy, and tolerance.

Oh, and there’s some weird alien s^x stuff in there too.

If you clicked this link, you’re probably already aware of what a Klingon is, but just in case; Klingons are a fictional race that exist in the Star Trek universe whose entire ethos is based around a warrior mentality. They are hulking, brutal, fierce beings with a pretty fleshed out backstory at this point. The Klingon language, for instance, (a constructed language, like Tolkien’s Elvish), has thousands of words and many fluent speakers. The canon also has a few things to say about how they do the nasty.

As Tumblr user demongoth put it:

According to memory-alpha, a sort of Star Trek wikipedia:

“It was not uncommon to break multiple bones during Klingon amorous play. In fact, fracturing a clavicle on the wedding night was even considered a blessing on the marriage.”

Pretty crazy stuff. But how does this poetry/roaring courtship work in non-hetero relationships?

Do two male Klingons just read poetry at each other? Do two women just fight?

User ernmark is here to ask the real questions:

I’m not sure if this is the stuff of a fascinating exploration of s^x and gender roles or fodder for a mad-cap Klingon romcom but either way I’m on board.

New Trek properties in the form of movies and TV are getting released all the time, so maybe somebody should tackle this. The closest thing that already exists is The Orville – which is basically Seth MacFarland doing off-brand Star Trek for fun. That series features a clearly Klingon-inspired race called the Moclans. But the twist? They’re an all-male race. All the relationships are gay.

Maybe you’ve been ahead the curve this whole time, MacFarland.

Would you watch a show about this?

It’s easy to get sucked in by a sad-looking photo on the internet – even if, or maybe especially if – you don’t have any confirmed context for them. But remember, there’s likely something going on that you don’t know. Consulting with a person or a resource with knowledge on a subject that you lack is the best way to go if you feel the need to react to something you’ve stumbled upon.

And now comes this example from the world of Tumblr. It starts with this seemingly heartbreaking photo of a baby deer lying down next to a F*ke one.

So what’s going on?

Our immediate reaction is to have Bambi flashbacks and panic for the adorable little baby.

And apparently, that’s what people in the real world do all the time, to the detriment of the deer themselves.

Everyone gets scam messages sometimes. Spam calls about free vacations we’ve apparently won, emails demanding our passwords, robo-dialers claiming there’s a warrant out for our unpaid taxes, Disney assuring us the next Star Wars movie will be good, the world of scams is all around us. But most of us don’t bother interacting with it; we see the fraud and we hang up or delete or just keep walking as we roll our eyes.

Some folks like to have a little more fun though, like user jicamarcababy on Imgur, who uploaded this epic thread of screenshots to the platform documenting his wild ride with a would-be scammer over text message.

In the description of the post, the user (presumably named Jacob), gives a little background. Apparently, the company that he works for was getting emails from someone impersonating the CEO. The impostor requests employee phone numbers so that he can ask people for “a favor.” The favor turns out to be buying a bunch of gift cards, a common goal for scammers as they’re an easy way to preserve anonymity and ensure the money never gets returned to the victim.

Jacob, immediately smelling an opportunity to waste a con man’s time, created a burner phone number, sent it to the scammer, then waited for the fun to begin. What happened over the next few hours is as hilarious as it is unexpected. It kicks off when the “CEO,” sends a test message to check if the number works, claiming he’s in a conference.

Chapter 22: Not Again

Chapter 23: Pocket Fries

Chapter 24: I Won This Time

Chapter 25: Take a Hint

According to his post, Jacob’s plan was to continue messing with the guy until he eventually figured it out and stopped trying. Trouble is, whoever was on the other end just never seemed to give up, forcing a bored Jacob to literally write “No go away scammer” on a card and then just copy/paste the script from Bee Movie. What an absolute legend.
