The creators of the US state north of Oregon were originally planning to name it Columbia, but were concerned it would be confused with the District of Columbia. So they named it Washington instead.

The Statue of Liberty almost wasn’t built in New York because the governor wouldn’t use city funds to build its pedestal, but Joseph Pulitzer’s newspaper articles inspired 160,000 people to donate. Though a majority of donations were less than $1, they raised over $100,000 in just five months.

Do you feel broke? Financially or otherwise? Well good news, we’ve got some memes here that are 100% cash. Money.
Now, do I mean that literally? No. Not yet, anyway. Until we hit some sort of full-blown apocalypse in which traditional monetary systems are eliminated and memes are treated as fungible means of purchase, these aren’t actually worth anything. But I feel like the day that applies is two, three weeks out. Max. So, maybe just gather the memes while ye may.
Here they are.
Now you can send out those pics absolutely no one wants in even higher quality.

Useless talents, or useless skills. We all have them. I’m really good at the pogo stick, for example. I set a record of over 5,000 consecutive jumps as a kid.
Why? I have no idea. It wasn’t a competition. Nobody even saw me do it. I just jumped and counted in the driveway one morning until I got too tired to keep going. And it’s the little things like that you learn to treasure.
Let’s hear about some other useless treasures, via Reddit.
I can fit the usb into the slot in the first try every time
– Panja_Paradesi
I can make a disgusting parody out of any song. ANY song.
– speedballmonkey
Knowing if someone is unpacking any sweets in the kitchen.
– straight-up-bs
I trained for a long time to only move one eyebrow as a child and as a side effect I can wriggle my ear on that side too.
Once I could lift one eyebrow I was satisfied and didn’t bother to train the other side.
– DerWassermann
I can burp whenever I want and as much I want, without limits.
I mean, I can fill my stomach with air at will, allowing me to burp again and again. Also I can hold it long enough to make it go down and allow me to rip massive 7-9 seconds long farts.
Downside is that is that all that air pressure makes me look like an 8-month pregnant.
Upside is that I don’t have to worry about constipation, all that pressure pushes my poop down so fast I literally sh*t brown missiles out my *ss. I also don’t have to worry about inflatables in the pool/sea, I just float without a problem.
– N1664TR0N3000
I can read mirrored writing (without mirror), read upside down writing (without turning anything upside down), and read mirrored upside down writing (you guessed it. Without using mirrors or turning anything upside down).
– SalFunction12
I can imitate nearly any accent and sound like a native speaker. (has been confirmed by people I’ve met from a variety of nations, and no, they weren’t just being polite to the goofy American.) I can’t speak French for sh*t though. I sound like Clark Griswold in “National Lampoon’s European Vacation”.
– DeadLined784
I have a wonderful ability to forget people’s names almost immediately after they tell me then avoid asking until its reached a point where it’s far too awkward to bring it up
– Pale-Yam8117
I can program in shellscript, it’s useful on very rare occasions.
– Flynntheforce
I can tell when a u.s. currency bill is counterfeit with my eyes closed.
– Fromoogiewithlove
Not super useless since it has a few uses but I can open doors with my feet.
It’s best with doorknobs.
If I have my hands full and I’m not wearing any shoes or socks I usually do this method.
– TrutiTru
I am exceptional at going down stairs two at a time
– tungstenwalrus2
I am weirdly good at skipping rocks.
Just did it a lot as a kid and now people get excited when I toss a rock and it skips 20 times.
– contrary-contrarian
When I start talking about food people start drooling.
Apparently I just start getting really descriptive about the things I like.
Came in handy when I was working as a waiter at one restaurant and a cashier at another. I was able to upsell more customers than anyone else.
Most of the time these days it is pretty useless.
– RabbitsRuse
You know that question “what is the sound of one hand clapping?”
I can answer it, with either hand.
– calcbone
I dunno, I’m pretty envious of some of those. The accent thing seems pretty killer.

I can’t recall the entire Lord’s Prayer from my Sunday School days, but I’m pretty sure there was a part in there about asking the Lord for our daily tweets. Or was it bread? Did Jesus say “Let’s get this bread?” Is that communion?
Sorry, not to blaspheme, it’s just that getting a daily allotment of tweets is practically a religion for me at this point so it’s sort of sunk its way into my brain in place of a lot of other stuff.
Without further ado, let’s get this bread. I mean tweets.
Surely this is what the Olympians themselves must have felt.

Hey there. Take a little break from Facebook and enjoy some bookface.
No, I didn’t just have a stroke. At least I don’t think I did. It’s hard to tell since I’ve been scrolling through all these trippy book covers for a while. But I can easily explain:
#BookFace is a thing, or a “challenge” if you want to feel more accomplished, where people on Instagram match themselves up with the people on book covers, and then we all celebrate that instead of reading anything. It’s great fun! Come see!
She’s here and she means business.
Because of you I’m laughing pretty hard right now.
(The title is in Norwegian. Took me way too long to realize that.)
Legs that go on for a finite amount of time.
We’re truly through the rabbit hole now.
No idea what the title is but the whole thing is looking suave.
Just as we all remember him.
She’s in another world now.
A sequel to the one higher in the list?
You just gotta do you.
When you just gotta grow yourself something nice.
This is no specific book. It’s just the book we need.
No, thank U.
This is truly beyond the pale.
Where are you taking us, though?

There’s been a whole lot of wisdom about physical attractiveness and shallowness and finding true fulfillment over the years.
The best of it, of course, came from Zoolander.
Would you pay $5000 to be extremely physically attractive? Why or why not? from AskReddit
So, is there actually more to life than being really, really, really, ridiculously good looking? Let’s see what Reddit has to say.
I need at least $5000 more in dental work and also probably twice as much for surgery, just to look normalish again. $5k to fix everything would be magnificent!
Wouldn’t even need the whole ‘extremely attractive’ bit, but if that’s included, nice.
– MedusasSexyLegHair
It doesn’t say decent shape though, it just says extremely attractive.
It could be achieved by making everybody attracted to my fat unhealthy body.
– of_a_varsity_athlete
“No no no, just be yourself! Looks aren’t everything!”
– The average very attractive person
– Princess_Moon_Butt
Isn’t this supposed to be a tough choice?
Like you’re extremely physically attractive but you can’t stop farting whenever you smile or something
– Dainish410
No.
Because I’m finally at an age where I am comfortable in who I am. I prefer to not be the most noticed person in a room.
Being extremely attractive as a woman comes at a cost. Constant harassment by men, jealousy from women. Never going anywhere or doing anything inconspicuously.
I love being anonymous in public and prefer for people to find me attractive getting to know me.
– MustBeThursday42
I wasn’t attractive or popular as a child, I was the last picked for the team and generally just a nothing.
Then there was a time in my life where I was very physically attractive. People treat you differently. People want to be your friend who sneered at you before. People want to be around you because of what it does for them, and their image. People who bullied you before suck up to you. People of the opposite sex pretend to like you and you think they are your friend but then they hit on you.
Now that I don’t look like that anymore I know that people who like me, genuinely like me for who I am.
– [deleted user]
Dude, I would pay 50,000. F*ck, 500,000 (assuming i can pay in instalments). Sh*t man, I would give up the last twenty years of my life (and I am 45)
Nothing determines your success in life more than attractiveness. Nothing.
– theAnalepticAlzabo
I have an extremely attractive friend and by that experience I wouldn’t want that life.
She has a lot of *ssholes around her and there has been a lot of jealousy in her relationships.
It’s like many people just want to collect and possess her to bump up their image
– theswamphag
heck yeah, even in terms of just sheer money I’d absolutely make all that money back before too terribly long just in terms of what extra I’d make/save because people find me hot.
At the end of the day though, it would give me the push I need to get my confidence and turn myself around
– ParkityParkPark
Nah.
I’m decent enough looking now. Being attractive doesn’t matter and I don’t think I’d do well with more attention based on my appearance.
I want to be known, accepted, wanted, appreciated, and loved.
Being extremely physically attractive may open more doors, but it doesn’t guarantee ever being seen for more than just that.
– switchboards
No. I’d rather spend the money on something else.
– PerfectParfait5
Even at like 100k it’s a steal. It’s a well documented phenomenon that attractive people are considered more frequently for promotion / raises at work and are more likely to be judged as having ‘leadership skills’ than average people.
Assuming you work a standard office job, it would pay back fairly quickly.
– Wind_Yer_Neck_In
Nah, just because it’d be a waste.
I’d still be kinda old and married and thus, completely unf*ckable.
– TheRynoceros
I would pay $1 to look remotely attractive.
– ThiccDaddy1198
Monkey’s Paw : OP didn’t specify physically attractive to what
– xaradevir
At this point I’d empty my bank account just to fit into my old jeans again. But apparently I have to “exercise” and “stop eating nachos for every meal” instead. What a rip off.

There’s pretty much nothing better than a good fail compilation. It’s one of the only time-tested internet things that has really spanned the entirety of the existence of the information superhighway.
No matter how good the broadband gets, no matter how far we advance or how steeply we as a culture decline, no matter how rich or poor you are, there’s something universally and eternally appealing about watching things just go wrong and weird.
So let’s do that, shall we? Courtesy of the people of Twitter. God bless their souls.
