People Challenged Her Right to Wear a Metallica Shirt, so a Woman Pulled Out a Guitar and Set Them Straight

If you’re going to put yourself out there online, you expect that you will have to deal with some level of haters.

It comes with the territory.

The trolls come out, armed with keyboards and masked by anonymity.

And when that day comes, I hope we can all handle it with next-level grace and grit, like Zaria Joyner did.

Last December, Zaria, a young musician, posted a video to her TikTok account @zariasmusic describing the difficulties of being a woman trying to break into the industry, and asking her followers to stream her songs on Spotify.

@zariasmusic

The song is called “Romanticized” by Zaria let me know what y’all think #music #spotify #artist #studio #rap

♬ original sound – Zaria

A small, unexpected detail in the video brought in the trolls, not because she was asking for help, but because she generally presents herself as an R&B musician, and she had the audacity to wear a Metallica t-shirt.

But then… a troll rolled into the comments.

@paytonnsmith said: “Name 3 Metallica songs.” And others followed the troll’s lead.

Undeterred by the haters, Zaria responded in the most amazing way possible.

Instead of naming 3 songs, she played them. She may be soft spoken, but she absolutely shreds on guitar.

@zariasmusic

Reply to @paytonnsmith I hope this video finds the #Metallica fans lol, not my best #guitar playing but that wasn’t really the point #guitarist

♬ original sound – Zaria

With chops like that, you have to wonder how long she’s been dedicated to her craft.

Turns out, Zaria was practically born with a guitar in her hands.

@zariasmusic

follow your dreams kids. @sullyguitars #guitar #guitarist #rock #metal #GEICOLipSync

♬ Original Sound – Unknown

And she always knew that she was going to be a star some day:

@zariasmusic

Me in the first picture would be so proud of me now, I’m dropping my first rock song very soon so follow my Spotify ❤ #guitar #rock #metal #emo #punk

♬ Dead Man Walking – Brent Faiyaz

Lots of Zaria’s TikTok videos show fun little snippets from her song-making process. Like this one:

@zariasmusic

Do y’all want more videos like this? #studio #homestudio #artist #spanishpop

♬ original sound – Zaria

Or recordings of her laying down backing vocals for famous singers like Ariana Grande.

@zariasmusic

If you guys like this drop a like and comment and check my music out on Spotify! #arianagrande #positions #Bye2020 #NewYearNewMiO

♬ original sound – Zaria

And Zaria understands how the TikTok logarithms work, so she’s definitely willing to engage with her critics, as she did in this video response to people who disapprove of her use of auto-tuning.

@zariasmusic

#duet with @wshanelance thanks Shane for teaching these plebs a lil something about the music industry #autotune #rap #producer

♬ original sound – SHANE LANCE

She apparently took the whole experience in stride and is “taking requests, I guess.”

She added…

“I really just thought it would be funny and I didn’t expect the response that the video received.

The supportive comments just kept rolling in.”

Zaria says that Metallica was one of her earliest musical influences, and the reason that she learned to play guitar in the first place, a background that is now helping her to redefine the genre of R&B.

As she likes to put it, her sound is more like R&R&B (Rock & Rhythm & Blues).

@zariasmusic

Reply to @soultun3 What do y’all think? This comment has me weak ?? #randb #blues #rock #guitar #guitarsolo

♬ original sound – Zaria

She loves what she’s doing, and she’s proud of her work. But she’s quick to remind viewers that it’s a tough industry to break into.

Check out her Link Tree from which you can stream her songs on Spotify or Apple Music and see for yourself.

I’d say she totally showed the haters. I wish I could ever have a comeback that solid.

Check Out 11 of the Internet’s Best “Deep” Thoughts

There’s a category of posts on social media that are known as “shower thoughts.”

You know, those odd, rambling, totally out there but not necessarily irrelevant thoughts that come to you while you have nothing particular to ponder but whether or not you’ll need to shave your legs?

I know you’ve had some great ones of your own, and now that we have social media, it’s time to share them with others. After all, that’s what these 11 people have done, and look how well it’s worked out for them!

11. It’s like finding treasure, perhaps.

Image Credit: Pexels

Cashews fished out of a can of mixed nuts taste better and are more appealing than cashews taken from a can of just cashews.

10. Maybe she wasn’t such a nice girl.

The townsfolk might have liked Belle from Beauty and the Beast more if she hadn’t constantly danced around town singing about how boring they all were.

9. It’s the circle of life, my friends.

Image Credit: Pexels

When buying trash bags, at first the box is the container for the trash bags, but at the end, the trash bag is the container for the box.

8. That’s not how you make money.

Everyone wants to be billionaires so they can help the world. Unfortunately, that’s exactly why they will never be billionaires.

7. But what do they say??

Image Credit: Pexels

Foxes seem to be halfway between cats and dogs.

6. Like they turned it on with their mind.

In cartoon universes, race cars have an extra gear that only becomes available when the driver gets more determined.

5. You can pick your parameters, it’s true.

It’s really, really easy to misrepresent statistics however you want. For example, Earth has billions more deaths than all the other planets in the solar system combined, and it’s also the only planet with knee-high socks.

4. Maybe they had a reason to be.

Image Credit: Pexels

The first sitcom to decide to use a laugh track must have been really insecure about their jokes.

3. Why is this so true?

Humans like to be not wet or fully wet. It’s the intermediate levels of wet that give us trouble.

2. That’s because they ruff us.

Image Credit: Pexels

Dogs are one of the only animals that run toward people instead of away.

1. I hope Bruce Wayne is generous with the checkbook on that account.

Window repair must be a big business in Gotham City.

I’m going to have to start telling Alexa to write these down or something.

People Admitted Not Safe for Work Facts About Themselves

We all have a little bit of a frisky side. Or a kinky side. Or maybe even a dangerous side.

And that means you, too!

Are you ready to hear some true confessions from folks who went on the record?

What are some NSFW facts about yourself?

Here’s what AskReddit users had to say.

1. Cool party trick.

“When flaccid, I can pull the head of my penis back inside of itself.

I’m cut. I’ve honestly never asked anyone if they can do it, so it might just be a normal d*ck function. I can also pop both testicles back up inside myself.

So if I do it all at once, I’ve got an empty sack dangling under an inside out d*ck until I let go.”

2. To each their own…

“My last s*xual encounter involved me riding a guy who slapped me, so I slapped him back and we were slapping each other for a good 5 more seconds until he came really hard.

It was f*cking hot.”

3. Grossed out.

“One time I was absolutely hammered getting a bl*wjob and I accidentally peed in the girl’s mouth.

I’ll admit, not my finest moment.”

4. Boom!

“I joined The Mile High Club about 15 years ago.

TBH, outside of bragging rights it’s not really that fun.”

5. Jeez…

“Once I reached my hand down the back of my pants to spread my b*tt cheeks apart to muffle the sound of a fart.

I didn’t want the chick I was hanging out with to hear it.

I sh*t in my hand.”

6. I don’t think we got caught.

“Me and my girlfriend lived in a student apartment complex sometime ago, before we moved out, we went ahead and banged on all 8 floors of the building.

In the elevator, the laundry room, the stairway, the gym (the mirrors were great here), the common room, and multiple balconies etc. my girlfriend even got totally naked for a few of the sessions.

We did it at 2am on a Sunday night and got back to our own apartment at like 3:30am.

We didn’t get caught. I think.”

7. Very unique.

“I have a noticeable birthmark on the shaft of my penis.

It’s a large spot on top that has a line the whole way around.

I even won a contest with it once as a teenager because it was “unique” and “more impressive than a bare bland one”.”

8. Whoa.

“My first under-the-clothes s*xual experience was getting “serviced” by two female friends simultaneously, at a very young age.

I then proceeded to not have a single s*xual encounter with anyone until the age of 19.

It f*cked me up.”

9. Young and dumb.

“Banged my college GF in public a few times.

She got off on it, and being in my early 20s, I was horny and did not care.”

10. You’re a trooper.

“I once dislocated my shoulder while having awesome kinky s*x with my girlfriend.

Popped it back in and kept going.”

11. Power move.

“May or may not have banged a hooker over the railing of a balcony above an ongoing wedding.”

12. Stackin’ that cash.

“I was an online cam s*x girl for a year whilst I was at University.

I made lots of money and enjoyed regularly chatting with my regular fans.”

13. Memories…

“The most intense orgasm I ever had was caused by drunk mast**bation in a school toilet.

Three decades later I still remember that special occasion.”

Okay, it’s time to come clean…

What’s a NSFW fact about you?

Spill your guts in the comments!

Weird Things That Landlords Didn’t Expect to Find

When I moved out of my last apartment, I tried to leave it spic and span to make sure I got my deposit back.

Turns out, not every tenant cares so much about getting the cleaning deposit back. Here are some unexpected things that landlords found–whether their tenants had moved out yet or not.

1. Some people just like fish

I think the real question here is why are you borrowing his toilet paper?

Image credit: Whisper

2. Illegal drugs are illegal

But at least they offered you some, right?

Image credit: Whisper

3. It’s hard to get rid of smells

It just seeps into everything doesn’t it?

Image credit: Whisper

4. A little help never hurt anyone

Something about the ellipses tells me he was glad she wasn’t home.

Image credit: Whisper

5. Slowly shut the door and back away

I hope he had a his own giant bottle of lube.

Image credit: Whisper

6. At least they painted the place

What I really want to know is, what kind of exotic animals though?

Image credit: Whisper

7. Wish she’d only painted it, don’t you?

There could always be something worse. Like actual bodies in the walls.

Image credit: Whisper

8. Or dogs–in the basement

I just can’t.

Image credit: Whisper

9. Just how many cats are too many cats?

At least they weren’t in the basement or the walls.

Image credit: Whisper

10. Is that what they call ‘anal retentive’?

Maybe he was just trying to make a good fertilizer.

Image credit: Whisper

11. And you thought the furnace room guy was bad

I just… are you sure? Just why?

Image credit: Whisper

12. And you thought the oven poo was problematic

Maybe rock, paper, scissors which one is worse?

Image credit: Whisper

13. Apparently it’s not that uncommon

I mean. I guess you get used to it eventually? Or you cry a lot.

Image credit: Whisper

I was pretty shocked to read about some of these.

What about you? Let us know in the comments.

Check Out These Secrets That Landlords Revealed About Their Tenants

Sometimes I think being a landlord would be a nice way to earn more money.

But then I read stories like these about just what it means to be a landlord in this day and age, and I’m not so sure.

1. Collecting rent isn’t easy

And sometimes, your tenants will try to get even.

Image credit: Whisper

2. It doesn’t get easier

Deadlines mean nothing, apparently.

Image credit: Whisper

3. But when the going gets tough… just call their mommy

No one comes to the rescue like a mom.

Image credit: Whisper

4. Maybe they’re not paying you enough

Do you charge by the hour?

Image credit: Whisper

5. Apparently being a landlord is not all it’s cracked up to be

Good old fashioned bartering just isn’t appreciated like it used to be.

Image credit: Whisper

6. Then again…

I hope he’s knocking something off her rent at least.

Image credit: Whisper

7. Because some landlords only dream of that opportunity

When she’s cute, she’s cute, right?

Image credit: Whisper

8. And it could always be worse

Because who wouldn’t rather think about lubed pipes than clogged ones?

Image credit: Whisper

9. But what do you do when it’s just not working out?

I guess you better have a “get-rid-of-narcissist-free clause” in the contract next time.

Image credit: Whisper

10. Now this right here, this is the way to do it

Player knew what was up.

He probably never did any work during group projects either.

Image credit: Whisper

11. Honestly, some guys have all the luck

I mean, at that point do you start to worry that your rent is too high?

Can you at least list the place as “haunted” now?

Image credit: Whisper

12. Just remember that there’s a reason you do background checks

And always have an alibi, I guess.

Image credit: Whisper

The thing is, people are just generally weird. And the more people you have to interact with, well… the more weird experiences you’ll have.

People Discuss the Weird Things They’ve Found After Music Festivals and Other Events

I’m not really one for big music festivals these days, but when I was a teenager I loved going to the Warped Tour every summer.

All the biggest punk bands playing on a few stages in the miserable heat for ten hours? Count me in!

And the people watching was just great, as you can probably imagine.

But I often wondered about the people who had to clean up the place after all the fans left for the day…

Some of these responses give me a good idea of what they saw.

AskReddit users talked about the unusual things they’ve found at festivals and events. Let’s get weird!

1. All the good stuff.

“I used to walk around the raves and look on the ground with a flashlight, found a multitude of great things.

In one night I would find a baggies ecstacy pills, cocaine + assorted drugs, 30+ lighters, hundreds of dollars in cash, jewelry and so many articles of clothing.

That was the average each weekend.”

2. Carny life.

“Worked as a carny a few seasons.

The zipper operator would straight up guard his ride’s area to loot it in the morning after it’s use. Many cell phones, wallets, cash and tons of change.

He knew how to operate it so well that he could spin certain tubs (full of riders) excessively if they looked drunk or like they might be unwilling donors. He made more in ground scores than he made operating and moving the ride.”

3. Raiding party.

“Having had all our sh*t stolen (including train tickets home) when I went one year, I was stranded at the campsite with my mates after everyone had left.

After 2 hours we managed to find bus tickets home, an LV bag, 200 cans of beer (and two buggies to carry them on), around twenty power banks, an iPhone, loads of tents full of excrement, about ten unknown pills.

A couple of bongs, loads of pairs of crutches, about an ounce of weed… Came across a YURT style tent worth about £1k and disassembled that to take home too.

W came across other groups of people raiding the abandoned tents and all congregated and piled every single inflatable mattress we could find in a giant pile and jumped onto it from up a tree.”

4. You probably need this.

“I’m an event manager for corporate conferences and trade shows.

Best thing I’ve seen left behind was from a large well known medical company. They left an unopened / brand new defibrillator that you’d see in an emergency room. When I called and told them they had left it behind they said to keep it.

So naturally I googled the item – retail cost $5K.”

5. I wonder who it is…

“I can’t disclose much due to the NDA I signed but I cleaned for an annual Christmas party thrown by a multi billionaire type guy a couple years in a row.

I’ve found little baggies of pills and powders, jewelry of all kinds and n*pple pasties and panties in all sizes. I’ve seen a half naked drunk chick try diving into a pool and splitting her head open and ODs of all kinds.

Man I miss cleaning for those parties. I got to attend the wild parties AND get paid for it!”

6. Gross.

“A pig’s head.

Crew had roasted a whole pig during set up and someone off their head decided to take the left over head for a walk around site Monday morning of the festival.

It was actually a bit messed up, saw a few freaked out people afterwards and had to convince them it wasn’t real so they would calm down. It was dumped in a hedge somewhere until crew found it and disposed of it properly.”

7. OH MY GOD.

“Talladega, circa 2005.

Dead body under a mountain of beer cans.”

8. I’ll take that!

“I was cleaning after a festival once and a guy next to me found a gallon ziplock bag half filled with weed.

Once he look at it further he realized there was an iPhone and a roll of money in the bag as well.

Needless to say, he was happy.”

9. How does this work?

“I have no idea how people are getting it on in the middle of the dance floor, but my god I have become desensitized to used condoms at this point.

Some genres are worse than others, but I just want to know how?

Like you are literally surrounded by people, you have security watching the crowd like a hawk, and some how you manage to get it on. What?”

10. Biker rallies.

“Sturgis Motorcycle Rally: Millions of bikers converge into one small town every August here in South Dakota.

There’s a huge venue/campground called the Buffalo Chip.

Keys and blowup dolls are some of the most common things left behind.”

11. Yeehaw!

“I worked Talladega clean up.

For those that don’t know, it’s a NASCAR track in Alabama. The most savage rednecks go here to be absolutely crazy. S*x, drugs, and TONS of alcohol. Well I’ve found condoms, full bottles of liquor, bunch of weed, syringes, a drone, a pistol buried in mud, and a destroyed cell phone.

That was one time. And I was one of about 50 workers.”

12. Wild.

“Best time to go is Saturday and Sunday night. Just take a walk in high traffic areas with your head down. You’ll find lots of drugs and cash.

The craziest thing I’ve ever came across though was just a huge coincidence. I was at a festival about 750km from my home town. It was Sunday midnight and I was just dancing through the darkness on half an Oz of mushrooms I noticed a flash of white out of the corner of my eye near the forests edge. Turns out it was someone’s provincial ID card.

Not just anyone’s. It belonged to a girl from my hometown I haven’t seen in years. Given her lifestyle its not strange she lost her ID while f*cked up at a festival.

It was just a crazy coincidence that the only ID I’ve ever found in years of festival going, far from home, at a festival with 9000 people, happened to be someone I knew pretty well.”

How about you?

Have you ever found something weird at a festival or an event?

If so, share your stories with us in the comments. Thanks a lot!

Medical Folks, What’s the Worst Misconception a Patient Had About the Human Body? People Responded.

I feel like when a lot of people are having health issues, they go one of two ways: they either self-diagnose from Web M.D. and they think they’re dying, or they totally ignore it and only go see a doctor at the last minute when a lot of damage is already done.

That’s why you go see a professional in these situations, people!

Medical workers on AskReddit talked about BIG misconceptions that people have had about their bodies. Let’s take a look.

1. Wrong!

“Nurse here.

We work with patients with kidney issues. Our biggest misconception…

The product “No Salt” is totally safe to eat…..WRONG!

No Salt is a potassium based product to mimic salt texture for food…but now puts you into a whole new issue with having high potassium from frequent use, leading to cramping, arrhythmias, and even death.”

2. Magical honey fortress.

“Patient with seafood allergy presents to ER with swollen lips, hives, itchy throat.

Provider takes a history asking if the patient could’ve been exposed to seafood or cross contamination. Have they eaten new food or at a new establishment? The whole nine. While being treated, patient adamantly denies this. They keep trying to figure out what the allergen could’ve been because it’s a pretty strong reaction.

Eventually the patient gets frustrated and admits they ate shrimp pasta but it CAN’T be from that because he took two tablespoons of honey first and “it coats things in there.” As in, shrimp can somehow not penetrate the magical honey fortress.”

3. Are you sure about that?

“I’ve had male patients in my audiology clinic tell me they have fallopian tube issues.

Perhaps I shouldn’t assume they mean eustachian tube issues, but I do.”

4. Trippy.

““How are you feeling today?”

“Not great, I have a cough that starts from an emotion in my throat and chest. That emotion disturbs me.”

It was a bacterial pneumonia. His roommate is a neighborhood “spiritual guru”.”

5. Where’s the face?!?!

“Baby came out face down .

The father freaked out his child was born without a face.

We had a good laugh after.”

6. Not exactly…

“Had a mother ask if it was true that the soft spot of her baby’s head was “like a whale blow hole” that he could breathe out of.

Apparently her own mother had told her that.”

7. Oh, boy…

“Well, I had one girl that really thought if she had s*x in the shower she could not get pregnant because all the sperm must fall out and go down the drain.

Her boyfriend had been convinced as well…

They did, indeed, end up pregnant. There had been A LOT of standup shower s*x.”

8. Ugh!

“I caught a patient drinking his own urine once.

He thought it would help heal him, somehow.

I have never looked at a water pitcher the same way and I always check to make sure it’s water.”

9. It’s normal, sir.

“I had the father of a baby absolutely beside himself because his newborn baby had no teeth.”

10. Please don’t do that.

“”What do you mean, I can’t eat an entire fruit cake? Isn’t fruit supposed to be healty?”

From a diabetic type 2 with a blood sugar level of 450 mg/dl.”

11. Missed that class, I guess.

“I had to explain to a pregnant woman once that the baby is coming out of her v*gina.

She was almost six months pregnant and was horrified, I think she thought all babies were just C- sectioned out.”

12. What are you talking about?

“I had a patient who needed a tooth extracted.

Young teenage girl, obviously very sheltered. She was telling me how bad it hurts and I asked her what she takes for pain.

“I apply a little clove oil to it when it keeps me up at night.” I asked if that works and she goes “Um… not really.”

When I told patient and mom to control post-operative pain with ibuprofen and acetaminophen, they looked at me like I had grown a second head.”

13. It goes away, right?

“There seems to be a common misconception that diabetes only needs to be treated temporarily and then it will go away, in the absence of lifestyle changes. I have seen this a lot in primary care.

“Do you have diabetes”

“No, I used to and finished my medication”

Check labs and surprise surprise, extra uncontrolled diabetes.”

Have you ever heard someone talk about really bad misconceptions about the human body?

If so, please tell us your stories in the comments.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Off-the-Wall Reasons People Were Fired from Their Jobs

Going to work every day can be soul-sucking

But we all have to pay the rent, so losing your job is typically worse.

And then there are jobs like these, where getting fired almost seems like a blessing in disguise.

Here are 11 absolutely out-there reasons that people were given for being let go.

1. Trying to do the right thing

I mean. I feel like this is one thing that should be protected by law.

That will teach you to go the extra mile.

Image credit: Whisper

4. You’re meant to be a robot

Grief should not compute.

Image credit: Whisper

5. Honesty is not the best policy

This is what we call oversharing. Then again, maybe a good way to find new participants.

6. Don’t worry, be happy

Especially don’t worry about losing your job, because if you do, you’ll lose your job.

Image credit:Whisper

7. Don’t look, don’t speak, don’t think

This one is just crazy unless you asked them WHERE they were sunburned…

Image credit: Whisper

8. Be the mannequin you want to see in the world

13 Ridiculous Reasons People Lost Their Jobs

Losing your job sucks. It can mess with your head and your self confidence.

Getting fired brings so any new worries, at a time when you don’t have the headspace to deal with them.

But it’s even worse, when you’ve already got a lot going on.

1. How long is too long though?

Are we talking days? Hours?

A good boss might have suggested a nice fiber supplement.

Image credit: Whisper

2. I’m sensing a theme

Why are employers so obsessed with potty breaks?

What do they think you’re doing in there?

3. They were afraid she’d spend all day crying in the bathroom?

This one is so heartless I don’t even know what to say.

4. Don’t they know there’s a movie about this?

They were afraid she’d stay after hours to make amazing new flavors of pie.

5. What a headache

Whether or not it’s wrongful termination, you gotta hope karma gets them in the end.

6. I guess that’s one way to avoid a lawsuit?

Or to get out of paying short term disability?

7. It’s called the Emergency Room for a reason, guys

It’s nice to actually see one where the good guy wins.

8. I guess their boss wasn’t a family man

Anti-family, even. Just wow.

9. There’s a special place in hell for this employer

I mean, what exactly is a “good excuse” if not this?

10. Pretty sure working there would give me a panic attack

That guy can join the other one in The Bad Place.

No, really, do they?
