People Share What They Think Screams “I’m Much Wealthier Than I Look”

Rich folks are an odd group. Some of them like to flaunt it, and some of them like to keep it a secret from the world for one reason or another.

It’s like when you read an article about a woman who lived in a run-down shack with 75 cats and no running water and you later find out she was worth $10 million. Weird, right?

But, that’s life!

What screams “I’m way richer than I look?”

Here’s what AskReddit users had to say.

1. Interesting…

“Unique or somewhat odd collections of things most people don’t collect.

I worked in a high-end whisky store for many years, and the number of shabbily-dressed men from overseas who strode in to spend $5,000 – $10,000 on whisky for their collection was staggering. They were always chatty, knowledgeable, and above all casual.

One man in particular had been collecting for decades, his wife was fully supportive (she had her own collection of rare items, he implied), and he enjoyed traveling the world to pick them up as an excuse to go someplace. Conversations often went like this:

Customer: “I see from your website you have the [rare bottling from 1967]? Do you have any in stock now?”

Me: “We do, yes. It’s downstairs. In fact we have a few of that vintage, as well as the [1953, 1966, and 1972]. Would you like to know the prices?”

Customer: “Oh, great. I think that fills a couple of gaps in my collection. And if not the guys and my wife will enjoy cracking one open. Can you package them up for me please?”

Me: “Would…would you like to know how much they are, sir?”

Customer: “Can you ship them all to my place? In fact, if you have discounts for bulk items, I’d like to know what other vintages you have.”

And so on.”

2. I had no idea!

“I went to dinner with a GF and her parents. After we ate, the owner came out and asked how the meal was and then we left without a bill ever coming to the table.

On the way home I asked GF about it and she said her dad had “tabs” at all the restaurants he liked to eat at.

As we were leaving the valet brought the cars around and I mentioned I liked his Tahoe. I asked what year it was and he kind laughed and said whatever is the newest one.

I didn’t know he owned a car dealership in another city.”

3. Booking the fancy rooms.

“I work at a luxury resort.

People call to book rooms with me all day and they aren’t cheap. I can tell when it’s obvious a young couple who had to scrape together the dough for the cheapest room.

But every once in a while I’ll get a call from someone who casually calls and asks to book the biggest room without asking for the price. They know exactly what they want and the price means nothing to them.

2.5k a night? No biggie. Here is my card number.”

4. The old man.

“I had reason to frequent a small but popular marina at a certain Gulf Coast city.

I encountered one old man often, enough we greeted each other with random chit chat. Lovely gentleman. He wore a crumpled old hat, a grease spotted tee shirt, cut off jeans, and worn deck shoes. He always puttered around the largest yacht in the marina, about 60′ long.

He would polish the chrome, wash the deck, clean the life preservers. I didn’t assume he was the maintenance guy because he had such self confidence. I never saw him actually take it out.

I got up the nerve to ask security who he was; he owned most the commercial real estate in the city.”

5. Don’t talk about it.

“They avoid any discussion of money.

When paying for anything they like to do it privately/quietly/before anyone else is aware, so you end up walking in and out of places feeling like you haven’tpaid, almost as if money doesn’t exist.

They don’t flaunt it.

Source: I was dating a girl and didn’t realize she and her whole family were rich until her dad picked us up for dinner in a brand new Mercedes, proceeded to pay for everything during our trip, and our Christmas presents were first class flights to the US (from Australia) for a ski holiday…

That’s around AUD$10-15k (US$7-11k) per person. He also financially supports his other daughter at Cornell University/living in the US.

I grew up poor (and still am, lol)… But I never realized how poor until I met that family.”

6. Had no idea.

“Oh God. I dated a rich girl in high school but didn’t realize it until it was time to meet her dad.

She had me meet them at a restaurant that there was absolutely no way I could have afforded the tip, let alone my meal. It was awkward (for me, at least) assuming I wasn’t going to pay anything when the check came.”

7. A good friend.

“One of my good friends made a bunch of money in oil and then invested it in tech companies that ended up doing extremely well.

2 years out of college he was a multimillionaire. He’d still go out to drink with us like normal and would pick up the tab for dinner and drinks for a group of 8 to 12 of us without a second thought.

He didn’t flaunt it or anything, just wanted his friends to have a good time without worrying about money while he was around.”

8. Join the party!

“The type that nonchalantly offers you a spot in their luxury box at a game or concert, or covers your course fees at a golf outing even though you barely know them.”

9. This one, right here.

“Wearing a T-shirt and jeans in a room of people wearing suits.

My company CEO does this all the time.”

10. Did you sleep in that?

“Back in high school I used to do rowing, and at the rowing club there was this guy who wasn’t great at socialising, was a little awkward, but he was friendly so I didn’t mind him.

We often went out on the same boats and would talk to each other (as much as was possible while rowing), and at the end his dad would always pick him up afterwards wearing sweatpants, slippers and a hoodie.

You might understand why, then, I didn’t believe my friend when he told me that they were one of the richest families in the world. I looked them up, and sure enough, there they were, worth an estimated 15.5 BILLION DOLLARS.

Now whenever I see someone out in public looking like they’re wearing what they slept in I always assume they’re mega rich and don’t car about a thing anymore.”

11. No idea.

“Not knowing prices for common household items/foodstuffs.

Either they’re getting the super deluxe version and don’t know the standard price or they haven’t done their own food shopping for years.

To clarify, it’s not about knowing the exact price of a product (most don’t), but having no real conception of even a ball park figure.

Being used to buying vastly more expensive things, they guess what they believe to be “cheap”, yes, like Bill Gates’ appearance on Ellen.”

12. No brands.

“Really rich people don’t wear clothes with a big brand on display because they don’t make free publicity for anyone.

For clothes they have specific shops who could tailor them high quality clothes, purses or shoes anytime.”

13. You’d never know.

“My boss drives a $2,000 Mercedes from the 1980’s, usually wears jeans and sh*tty clothes at all times.

No jewlery or watch, owns a $150,000 used house.

He’s worth $2 billion.”

Now we want to hear from you.

What makes you think someone is way richer than they look when you see them?

Tell us all about it in the comments.

Thanks!

People Discuss Products Designed for One Gender but Now Mostly Used by the Other

Ever noticed that sometimes, things that were designed for one group of people end up getting used by other people than was originally intended?

It really does happen all the time…even if you’re not exactly paying attention to that phenomenon.

What’s something that was designed for the use of one s*x but is now predominantly used by the other?

Here’s how folks on AskReddit responded.

1. Reds.

“Marlboro “Reds” referenced the color of the filter, which was redish so that it wouldn’t show lipstick.

Kinda funny that reds are considered manly now, and women are more likely to smoke the lights which have white filters.”

2. For the ladies.

“Victoria’s Secret was originally supposed to be a place for men to buy lingerie for their wives and not feel embarrassed.

But now it’s almost exclusively shopped at by women.”

3. Not a good look for the guys.

“Croptops.

A football thing, initially.

Like young Johnny Depp in A Nightmare on Elm Street.

4. Wow!

“High heels were originally made for butchers to wear (who were mostly men) so that they could keep their feet clean of any blood from slaughtering animals.”

5. Mustang.

“The Ford Mustang.

It was supposed to be a car with a big trunk to you could fit all the groceries in it. There was even an ad or article stating that you can own a mustang that matches the color of your lipstick.

Makes sense why a lot of old mustangs are red.”

6. Uggs.

“Ugg boots were originally worn by male surfers, with their girlfriends stealing and wearing them like they would a leather jacket.”

7. Never heard this before.

“Holding doors for people.

A woman was supposed to hold the door for a man so he could check for any dangers in the building (the thought was mainly for married couples, but it could be done to a total stranger as well).

At some point it flipped and turned to just being a polite thing to do.”

8. Did you know this?

“Old Spice was launched by Shulton Inc. in 1937.

William Lightfoot Schultz was inspired by his mother’s potpourri and as a result, the first Old Spice product in 1937 was a woman’s scent called Early American Old Spice.

The product was received well, and therefore followed with Old Spice for men in 1938.”

9. Totally different use now.

“Hitachi Magic Wand. It was originally manufactured for relieving tension and relaxing sore muscles. Often used by athletes.

But now is famous for its use as a s*x toy/industrial strength vibr*tor.”

10. Midol.

“Midol was marketed as non-gender-specific headache medication when it was first created.

Decades later they changed to marketing it specifically for treating menstrual cramps and bloating.”

11. Who knew?

“The leg stirrups they use at the gynecologist were invented for removing bladder stones in men.

They used to cut from below the testicles and cut right through the prostate. It had a very low survival rate and was not approved by the medical profession.

The original hippocratic oath had a section on “not cutting for stone” meaning they swore not to surgically remove the stones because of it. They later removed that section of the oath, otherwise a bunch of urologists would be out of a job.”

12. Hot and heavy.

“Playgirl.

The magazine was founded in 1973 and was suppose to be intended and was marketed as such to women.

However, gay men became the most dominant consumer of the magazine.”

13. It’s a satchel!

“Purses.

Back in the day all the men carried their coinage in a purse.

Although it’s making a comeback for modern dudes.”

14. Get your stretch on.

“Yoga it was invented by men for men but for some reason it’s mostly women who gravitate towards it at least in the west.

Many men are too afraid to try it which is a shame because yoga is enjoyable I really enjoy it and it has a lot of benefits.”

15. For everyone.

“I remember reading somewhere that Kleenex was made for ladies to remove their makeup, but their husbands were blowing their noses in them.

And now we all blow our noses in them.”

What do you think about this?

Can you think of some other products that were designed for one s*x but are now mostly used by the other?

People Share the Interesting, Dark Facts About People’s Favorite Cartoons

If you think cartoons are all rainbows and sunshine, think again, friend.

There is some pretty dark and disturbing material embedded in those seemingly innocent and fun TV shows and movies that might surprise you…or even shock you.

Let’s get weird with folks from AskReddit.

1. That’s a little weird.

“There was a Smurfs PSA that was made for UNICEF.

I believe where their entire village is carpet bombed.

It. Was. Nuts.”

2. Don’t tell me that!

“Ren and Stimpy was an absolute nightmare for the people who worked on it. John K ordered them not to make the same face twice. Pretty, but it was hell for the workers because they were constantly drawing things.

John K was a nightmare boss. One of the producers had a sign on his wall labeled “John’s knees” and invited people to kick it. By the time he left it was reduced to a hole.

They made several episodes that were just the animators ranting about how much of an *sshole that John K was.”

3. Great idea!

“The pilot of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy called “Trepanation of the Skull and You” tells kids that because of a mistake in evolution our skulls are too small for our brains, and that you should drill a hole in your skull as to grant the brain more space.

Which is then followed by Billy doing exactly that.

The whole thing looks like some cursed forgotten video tape.”

4. Creepy.

“Some of the earliest versions of Little Red Riding Hood end with the wolf raping Red and then eating her.

The literal moral of the story was for girls to not trust strangers.”

5. Whoa!

“The creator of Skeletor was inspired by a corpse in a haunted house that he was 100% sure was real.

Turned out he was right.”

6. Awful.

“The studio had to get someone else to sing “Soon You’ll Come Home” in All Dogs go to Heaven because the voice actor, Judith Barsi, had such a traumatic home life because of an abusive, alcoholic father that she couldn’t sing the song without having a breakdown.

She and her mother were murdered by him before the movie was released in a double-murder/suicide. She was only 10.

She was also the voice of Ducky from Land Before Time. Her tombstone reads, “Yep! Yep! Yep!””

7. Poor Donald.

“Donald Duck fought in WWII and has PTSD.

In an episode he wakes up and thinks he is in a Japanese mine field and he is in a lot of WWII cartoons.”

8. Creepy.

“Sleeping Beauty is only 14 years old in the original story and Prince Charming is around 30.”

9. Witchcraft?

“Adventure Time is full of occult references

My favorite one is in the episode “All The Little People” in which Magic Man says “Do what thoust will be the whole piece of law” which is taken from Aleister Crowley’s “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.””

10. Apocalyptic.

“The premise of Adventure Time is actually really dark.

Its the aftermath of a literal nuclear war that killed most of humanity and caused evil mutants like The Litch to wreak havoc on the planet.”

11. Oh, no!

“There was a Tom & Jerry episode where Tom dies and goes to heaven.

While waiting in the line of counter they show a wet sack with baby kittens inside it coming out and running towards train. Ticket counter guy notices it and says ” what some people won’t do”.

He’s talking about old times when people use to tie up small kittens in the sack and let them drown in river.”

12. Let’s eat!

“In the Peppa Pig universe, characters eating each other is slightly acknowledged when a couple of the characters are stranded on an island.”

13. Not good.

“The Carmen Sandiego reboot is animated by Top Draw Animation.

They’re a sweatshop and they fired an animator for asking for minimum wage compensation.”

14. Nuclear fallout.

“Bikini Bottom is called so because of the Bikini Atoll.

In the 1940s and ’50s, the US held nuclear tests there.

All the characters on SpongeBob SquarePants are like this because they’re radioactive creatures.”

15. Makes sense.

“The reason Mickey and other characters where white gloves is because it allows their hands to be seen better.

This is a reference to actors when they did black face they wore white gloves so the audience could see their hands and fingers moving.”

Do you know any weird or dark facts about cartoons?

If so, please share them with us in the comments.

We’d love to hear from you!

Code Words That Industries Use and Don’t Want People to Know About

Have you ever heard a term and thought, “what are these people talking about?”

Yeah, me too. And that’s why I’m writing this today. Because certain industries have these code words that they use to trick us… and I’m just not one for many secrets.

Today we’ll be looking at 12 code words used by select fields that you never knew until now.

Let’s go!

12. Pucker Factor

When shizz gets real on the battlefield… how much “pucker factor” is how much you have to clench your cheeks IF you don’t want to, well… shizz yourself.

Pucker up, buttercup!

11. Birth Control Glasses

You know those REALLY ugly glasses that the military gives out?

Yeah, those will prevent you from having any sex.

Thus… birth control glasses!

10. Yoda Conditions

When computer programmers basically just reverse the terms of expression… a condition Yoda it is.

The graphic above illustrates a situation like this. When the terms are reversed, it can mean something completely opposite or even unrelated.

9. P.O.O.H.

No, this isn’t about the charming literary character with a proclivity for honey.

But… when there’s not enough honey (oil) in the hole… it’s time to pull out.

Or… “Pull Out Of Hole”

8. Suck. Squeeze. Bang. Blow.

Photo Credit: iStock

I’d tell you to get your mind out of the gutter, but there’s no way this wasn’t conceived by a naughty mind.

A four-stroke engine (stroke…heh) goes through these stages in its power cycle.

Of course there are other names for these stages, and here they are: intake (suck), compression (squeeze), combustion and power stroke (bang), and exhaust (blow).

That was satisfying!

7. Crop Dusting

Photo Credit: iStock

This one is hilarious because we ALL knew this happened.

It’s when flight attendants silently rip a fart while they walk down the aisle.

Yep! Knew it!

6. Bury The Hatchet

Photo Credit: iStock

This one is actually terrifying, because it involves mistakes in medicine.

When a surgeon leaves one of their instruments inside somebody during a surgery… and they need to just make peace with that fact… that’s burying the hatchet.

Yikes!

5. Penguin Diagram

Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons

This one is funny because it’s based on a joke.

The story goes that physicist John Ellis lost a bet and had to include the word “penguin” somewhere in a paper of his.

Thus “penguin diagrams” was born to describe interactions between quantum particles.

Not a bad way to lose a bet!

4. Refuctoring

Photo Credit: iStock

If you’re a computer programmer, or any employee of any company, the last thing you want to do is get replaced by somebody else.

This is where programmers have a big advantage over other people because they can make their code almost impossible to understand. And if it’s impossible to understand… nobody can maintain it.

If nobody can maintain it… a programmer can’t be fired otherwise the whole project is in jeopardy.

3. Angel Lust

Photo Credit: iStock

So there’s this thing called mortuary sciences, which basically means what happens to people after they’re dead. So that’s fun.

One of the more unexpected things that happens when somebody dies is that the electrical activity in their body does NOT stop.

And so, you get things like corpse erections. Yes, that actually happens.

The solution? Wait for it to die down.

Heh.

2. Deceptionist

Photo Credit: iStock

Some people who answer the phones are there to help. But not the deceptionists. Their job is to prevent people from reaching their bosses.

I wonder if

1. “Cum” Folder

Photo Credit: iStock

Pronounced “cume” … this one has to do with kid’s school records or cumulative records.

Yeah, we don’t know why they shortened it either. But I guess we all have a sense of humor.

So… any of those that you knew? Anything particular shocking?

Let us know in the comments!

Mark Zuckerberg is the Third Person in the World to Achieve Centibillionaire Status

Even Mark Zuckerberg couldn’t have predicted that Facebook would ever grow this huge. Yet, the former Harvard dropout’s company has become not just a money-making machine but also a part of everyday life.

As a result of his brilliant and bold business, Zuckerberg has become a wealthy man. Even amongst the world’s elite, he still stands above nearly everyone else.

Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons

In fact, the 36-year-old Facebook CEO became just the third centibillionaire in the world on Thursday, August 6. Coincidentally, the company just released Reels, its competitor to TikTok.

With a net worth in excess of $100 billion, that puts Zuckerberg on the same level as Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates.

Of course, his route to fame and fortune has been well-documented. Zuckerberg co-founded Facebook from his dorm room in 2004.

Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons

Even years later, he still maintains a 13% stake in the company. That paid off big time recently when the company’s stock price surged by 6.5% after Reels launched on Instagram—another key part of Facebook’s assets.

Reels could turn into another revenue-generating machine given Donald Trump’s threat to ban TikTok. The Chinese-owned app has become very popular, especially with so many stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Photo Credit: Pexels

Speaking of the pandemic, Facebook has acknowledged that its engagement numbers have increased with people staying in their homes and perusing the platform for entertainment.

In 2020 alone, Facebook shares have increased by nearly 30%. As a result, Zuckerberg’s added $22 million to his impressive fortune.

Sadly for Zuckerberg, that still puts him well behind Bezos.

The richest man in the world gained more than $75 billion during that same span. But who’s really counting?

What is your favorite part of the Facebook platform? Do you plan on using Reels instead of TikTok?

Funny and Accurate Tweets About Trader Joe’s Employees

I love Trader Joe’s. But, I have to admit that I don’t go nearly as much as I should. The nearest one to me isn’t very far at all, but it’s in a sort of weird complex and the parking there is a total nightmare.

I wanted to go about a week ago, but because of the pandemic they’re only letting a certain number of shoppers in at a time and when I drove by, the line to get inside was all the way around the block. Who has time for that?

Not this guy! But I’ll be back…oh, I’ll be back…

Enjoy these tweets!

1. It tends to get very emotional in there.

Meet your new therapist!

2. I’m still waiting!

This is totally on point.

3. That was a bad date…

Sorry about that…

4. I need to see them again!

And maybe get their number?

5. That’ll show him!

Everyone is in love with their cashiers.

6. They are very delightful people.

Why can’t I be like that…?

7. Yeah, that can get kind of ugly.

Well, what are you gonna do, right?

8. I need you in my life!

And I want you at my wedding!

9. It happens every time!

You know it and I know it.

10. That is HOT.

I bet you woke up covered in sweat.

11. Hahaha. You know this would happen.

The robber got bag-shamed.

12. Decisions, decisions…

This is always a tough choice.

Anyway, the point is that Trader Joe’s is pretty awesome and it has a sort of cult following not only because of the good deals and good products, but because the employees make you feel so welcome and are some of the friendliest folks around.

Have you ever had a bad experience with a Trader Joe’s employee? Especially in the check-out line? Are you a Trader Joe’s fan? Or maybe you’re even a Trader Joe’s FANATIC?

Sound off in the comments and tell us what you love so much about this one-of-a-kind grocery store.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

A “Karen” Tried to Scam a Free Meal Until She Realized Who the Owner Was

In case you haven’t heard, a “Karen” is an entitled, usually middle-aged woman who complains to authority figures about others’ behavior.

This particular Karen decided that her complaint to the manager would get her a free meal. She couldn’t have been more off-base in her assumption, specifically as it concerned the owner.

A friend of his begins the story:

Photo credit: Reddit

With help from his dad, the man was able to open the restaurant in the perfect location, and it was a smashing success right out of the gate. Everything was going well, until Karen showed up with her husband.

Photo credit: Reddit

Right away, the owner, who was also the server, knew she was going to be a problem—the complaints began as soon as she sat down. Initially, he played along .

Photo credit: Reddit

He knew he couldn’t keep his composure for long—so did she and, sensing a potential free meal, increased her demands.

Photo credit: Reddit

She asked for the manager, as Karens often do. He brought someone over to take on the role.

Photo credit: Reddit

She could have won an Academy Award for the story she told.

Photo credit: Reddit

The “owner” and the server couldn’t keep up the ruse for long. They broke character.

Photo Credit: Reddit

The real owner came clean, and Karen was finally speechless.

Photo credit: Reddit

Redditors who work in restaurants loved how this story ended, and the person who told it also had a bit of an update.

Photo credit: Reddit

They deal with customers who try to scam free meals all the time and say restaurant owners are usually oblivious to this behavior because they’re not on the floor.

Photo credit: Reddit

Workers shared that this also occurs in fast food places. Even though they’re a lot cheaper, free is free to some people.

People Share the Terrifying Facts That Keep Them up at Night

I was a total worrywart when I was younger.

I’d lay in my bed at night and just think of all of the terrifying things that might happen: World War III, an asteroid hitting our house, packs of wild dogs roaming the neighborhood. Basically anything that could potentially cause me harm.

Now, I guess I’m just too tired to stay up past 11 p.m. most nights…hooray for getting old!

But some people are like that their whole lives! Always terrified of what’s around the next corner, what could go wrong, and, most importantly, of ACTUAL, scary FACTS that worry them to no end.

Here’s what AskReddit users had to say about the terrifying facts that keep them up at night. Let’s take a look.

1. On the edge.

“If I lose my job or he loses his job, we have some savings but capitalism will eat us alive and leave us no quarter.

If one of us gets injured or gets cancer, same thing.”

2. Irreversible.

“Humanity is well on the way to destroying itself, it’s now irreversible, but everyone is ignoring the glaring evidence and continuing on business as usual.

We’re going to see worldwide famine within the next few years but people will ignore this warning too.”

3. A reckoning.

“The dollar is worthless.

The treasury is not just empty, it owes the rest of the world trillions, and the government somehow owes itself more trillions. Despite this, or more probably because of this, we continue to spend more than the rest of the world combined on the deadliest military in history.

There will be a reckoning, and I don’t think it will be gentle or pretty.”

4. The world is crazy right now.

“The great depression is now almost certain to repeat itself since economic relief was killed by greedy republicans who were angry they didn’t get to give the lion’s share of 1 trillion dollars to their corporate pimps.

Along with the expiring legislation goes COVID-specific unemployment benefits, individual and family relief checks, EVICTION MORATORIUMS! That last one…

This nation just straight slept through the pure hatred and violence of the republicans’ actions yesterday. People don’t get what’s about to happen here. We’re going to have 15-20% homelessness by the end of the year if relief packages are not put in place.

You think the George Floyd protests have been rough? Most of the BLM protestors have something to lose. Maybe not much for some of them, but probably SOMETHING.

These newly minted homeless will have N O T H I N G to lose by going absolutely apesh*t in the streets. And I won’t have a godd*mn thing to say against them when they do. Maybe it’s about time for some of that good guillotine action…

Keep your non-perishables up to date and well stocked. Get a back log of water.

Things are about to get weird.”

5. Excessive.

“Humans kill roughly 60 billion land animals per year for unnecessary food while at the same time deforesting rainforests, polluting the atmosphere, consuming large amounts of water, creating breeding grounds for infectious diseases, using antibiotics unsustainably, and contributing to heart disease and obesity, but no one seems to care because “bacon tastes good.””

6. Saddens the heart.

“That we as a human race, decided on which race dependent on color of skin was inferior to the rest.

Saddens the heart to think older generations who suffered won’t know whether their efforts worked. (also includes genders).”

7. I feel this one.

“My dogs will pass away someday.

It’s kept me up at night multiple times.”

8. Truth.

“Humans are more disgusting and selfish than we ever admit.”

9. The Big Bang.

“The big bang could’ve been caused by a civilization that developed weapons of mass destruction and were just in a loop of evolution until eventually we become advanced enough to create an explosion so big we destroy and recreate everything from scratch.

Yeah, thank about that!”

10. A rough time.

“I’m about to be 30 in 2 years.

I’m still single and haven’t had as much s*x in life as my peers. I fear that I’ll be this awkward undesirable old dude that’s bad at s*x that’s just wandering the earth only working, doing chores and sleeping for the most part.

A lot of my peers are living in houses with furniture while I live in an apartment with little furniture. I’m working at a call center that I hate.

I am seeking another job preferably in programming since I have a bachelor’s, but due to lack of experience in that field, no one is hiring.”

11. Every day is important.

“That you have absolutely no idea if the next day will be your last. You could be with your SO having the time of your lives, picking up some food, watching a movie at your place, drinking.

Then next day comes, you get hit by a drunk driver while out on the road.”

12. Hard to think about.

“That my parents are aging and will eventually die.

I’m an only child and feel like when they die my connection to my childhood and the people that understand me and love me unconditionally will be gone.

The link to me will be gone and I’ll essentially be alone in the world.”

13. Nuclear war.

“At anytime the US wants we could start a nuclear war and the person who has control over that is umm…. underprepared for the job.

Or that at anytime Russia wants or North Korea wants or basically any other country with access to nuclear power could decide that they want to nuke us and do it.”

14. Collapse.

“The Earth’s ecosystems are collapsing, and with it our ability to collect food and water.

Billions are going to die due to hunger and violence in the coming decades.”

15. THIS.

“The fact that human beings don’t understand the concept of putting a d*mn face mask on and saving thousands of lives when they go to their local grocery store.”

16. The end.

“The end of the universe.

Not the last star, or the last neutron star that glows.

All matter has decayed as protons have half-lives.

Black holes will decay, and moments of brief light in millennia of pure darkness come as black holes collide.

After a very certain point, time becomes meaningless as whatever remains will be so stationary, you cannot observe it.

The universe achieves true equilibrium as the universe in one time point in the far future is indistinguishable from the next second, next month, next year, next millennia, next googleplex years later.”

This Restaurant in Texas Is Still Putting up Hilarious Signs During the Shutdown

They still got it!

I’m talking about the El Arroyo restaurant in Austin, Texas, a place that has been known for their hilarious signs out in front of their establishment for quite some time now.

And, since we’re obviously living in very strange times, the folks at El Arroyo have adapted their sign game to reflect the current times.

Their signs lately have focused on the pandemic and the shutdown in a very way that no doubt gives their customers and folks passing by a good laugh.

Let’s take a look at what they’ve been up to at the El Arroyo.

1. I don’t think you’re alone on this one.

People really love it! And they have nothing else to do!

2. This one is good.

Very clever, guys and gals!

“Worst Buy” Comes up With Terrible Products You’d Never Need

These fake products sure are hilarious…but I’m pretty sure I don’t actually WANT any of them in my house…or do I…? I guess to each their own, right?

They’re from a very funny Instagram account called Worst Buy that specializes in dreaming up awful products that thankfully don’t exist in real life.

But they sure are a lot of fun to look at!

And I have a feeling that, like the headlines in The Onion, a number of people probably fall for these shenanigans and actually believe that some of these products are real.

People are gullible, ya know?

Let’s take a look at some of the best examples of the “worst buys” you could ever want.

1. I’m gonna be sick.

These look completely revolting.

2. These look delicious.

Don’t you agree?

It still tastes good, though!
