Great Tweets to Feed Your Daily Need for Comedy

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.

10. Skip ahead

Surely this is what the Olympians themselves must have felt.

9. I kneed your touch

After this it’s not gonna take much.

8. Fun in the sun

Well now he’s not the only one who’s gonna be hot.

7. Get your jollies

For me, it’ll probably be Reese’s Pieces. Not the entire Reece. Just a piece.

6. From the jump

Our entire lives are being permanently catalogued, we’re all screwed.

5. No, this is Patrick

And suddenly the Romance of that impossibly beautiful place is gone.

4. Just watch

DO NOT BETRAY US LIKE THIS. WE HAVE FEELINGS AND MOST OF THEM ARE ANGER.

3. Turnabout’s fair play

Yeah we are pretty screwed.

2. Explosive news

Now let’s all be cool here…but down the blue explosives…

1. Read for liftoff

Yeah, why does that happen?

And with that, our daily tweets sustain us. Amen.

Who are your favorite people to follow on Twitter, and why?

You Can Buy Jeans with Stains to Look Like You Peed Yourself

Just when I think I’ve seen everything, the internet throws something totally new at me.

I’m not sure I’ve been up on the latest trends since the 90s, and maybe not even then.

Did all kids wear ginormous t-shirts, or was it just me?

Anyway, buckle in, because apparently (supposedly?) there’s a new fashion trend in town: peeing your pants.

It seems like it started out as people just goofing around on TikTok using audio from the Adam Sandler movie Billy Madison where he tells some kids that it’s cool to pee your pants.

Then it turned into last year’s dumb new social media challenge with the hashtag #peeyourpantschallenge.

But people were bored. And stuck inside. So I think we can forgive them.

Whether it was moms working out:

@mrsbritnicole

mom’s know what’s up #momsoftiktok #momlife #goingpro #over30 #billymadison #funnymom #momhumor #momswhoworkout

♬ Peeing your pants is the cooliest – TikToksSoundGuy

Making a teasing video about their diapered babies:

@thevintageparents

Thanks to my sissy for my #billymadison shirt. #thevintagemom #fyp

♬ Peeing your pants is the cooliest – TikToksSoundGuy

Bored people everywhere wanted to get in on the acting action:

@scottyr76

A Tribute to Billy Madison! ? #billymadison #youaintcoolifudontpeeyopants #lmfao #gay #gayboy #funny #comedy #lgbtqplus #?️‍? #? #?

♬ Peeing your pants is the cooliest – TikToksSoundGuy

That’s how social media challenges go.

It was something to do for the set of people not interested in baking lockdown cakes or sourdough bread.

But when the movement went viral and started getting picked up by news outlets, it seems like some people took the TikTok goofiness a little too far.

A company called Wet Pants Denim launched a new clothing line with the tagline “Wet look, dry feel” selling–you guessed it–pre peed-on pants…

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by Wet Pants Denim (@wetpantsdenim)

For blue jeans, the darkened pants could be stained with any substance, but for lighter pants they use an egg yolk yellow that would make me worry about your vitamin intake.

Not only that, but for customers in the U.S. who are eco-minded and don’t want to purchase new denim, for the low, low cost of $30, you can send them your current pants, and the company will stain those for you.

I mean I guess they could come in handy for people who routinely splash water on their lap.

Like I said, I’m not sure I understand high fashion, but this one seems like a swing and miss. What do you think? Beyond ridiculous, or are you ready to buy your own pair? Tell us in the comments.

Memes to Totally Devastate the Internet

Pictures That Show How Much We Love Our Favorite Things

When people find an item they love – maybe a piece of clothing, a tool, a piece of media or technology – we tend to not only use it a lot, but to hang onto it as long as we can. There’s no promise, after all, that we’re going to be able to find the exact same replacement, and even if we do, will it really be the same?

If that’s a worry any of these 13 people had it was surely assuaged – because it was definitely time to go out with the old and in with the new.

13. One year of use.

That’s a lot of weight lifting.

12. No reason to change something that works.

It’s a classic for a reason.

Image Credit: Reddit

11. Four years in.

That is a well-made sneaker. Or a lazy person.

10. He definitely got his money’s worth.

I’m not sure I want answers to all of my questions, however.

9. Pooh has held up well.

10 years of cuddling looks good on him.

8. Brilliant.

A backup of a favorite is always a good idea.

7. Check your brakes.

On your bike and your car.

Image Credit: Reddit

6. That is a well-loved cap.

I’m so happy they could find a new one.

Image Credit: Reddit

5. Those reptiles like to be warm.

I’d like to know how long they held up.

4. That’s pretty gross.

I’m not judging, just observing.

Just imagine your furniture if you hadn’t bought it.

I want to go home and check mine now.

A Family Found a Life-Sized Monopoly Board Under Their Carpet and People Want One

We played a lot of board games growing up.

We had the classics like Checkers, Clue, Trivial Pursuit, and Monopoly. We also played oddly specific games like a Clue-style Sherlock Holmes who-dunit, The New York game which involved navigating the subway to visit famous Manhattan sites, and an It’s a Wonderful Life themed trivia game.

Consequently, I love board games, and have always had an affinity for Monopoly. But not, apparently, as much as some people.

Recently, a user by the name of Yamaha234 posted to the r/pics Subreddit about a unique discovery their in-laws made. During a home remodel, the couple pulled up some old carpet only to find a life-sized Monopoly board underneath.

As My Modern Met explains:

The room-sized Monopoly board is based on the classic U.S. version of the game, complete with Chance and Community Chest spaces, a jail, and railroads.

Iconic sought-after spaces such as Park Place and Boardwalk also feature. The giant floor edition appears to have been hand-painted by the previous homeowners years ago.

Check-out Yamaha234’s actual picture:

While tearing up their carpet, my in-laws found a giant monopoly board from pics

Personally, I think the jail square is the perfect location for time out if you have naughty kids.

Reddit users were floored. And while they didn’t all agree on the merits of Monopoly game-play, they had a lot of fun with the idea.

Image Credit: Reddit

As shocking as this discovery was, it may not be totally unheard of.

Apparently a lot of people’s families’ basements had shuffleboards made of tile.

Image Credit: Reddit

And not just shuffleboards!

Image Credit: Reddit

One user explained that this was fairly common for houses built in the 1950s, although I’ve certainly never heard of it.

Image Credit: Reddit

Makes you wonder how many gems like this are hidden under grungy carpet across America.

Enough, it turns out, that this wasn’t even the first time someone posted such a find on Reddit!

Seven years ago someone made a similar discovery at a different home.

Pulled up the carpet at the house, and guess what I found! from funny

Lots of commenters have new #LifeGoals (me included, if I’m being honest), stating that they want to do this in their own homes some day.

Image Credit: Reddit

And forget Monopoly, this person wants to put Risk on their floor (speaking of games that last for ever and ever).

I’m pretty sure I went to college with this person.

Image Credit: Reddit

So what about the OP’s parents?

Image Credit: Reddit

I really hope they decide to clean it up and keep it visible, because what a weird fun thing to have.

What do you think? Keep it or cover it up? Let us know in the comments!

Well-Worn and Well-Loved Items Find Their Perfect Replacements

There’s nothing like the panic that can seize a person when they realize an item they’ve loved unconditionally and well for many years is beginning to show signs of ending its life.

It’s wearing out, wearing thin, and soon it will be time to replace it – but how? With what? How will we go on?

If you’re the sort of person who worries about such things, you’ll likely find solace in Reddit’s Well Worn page – where people display the perfect replacements they’ve found for some of their most well-worn, well-loved things.

12. Why change a good thing?

You find favorite shoes and you wear them out.

That’s a hardworking person right there.

A prayer?

Young People Look for Love and Adventure by Teaching English Abroad

It’s easy to feel lost after you get out of college.

Too many people ask what you’re going to do with the rest of your life.

And who’s ready to think about 401ks and health insurance in their 20s?

When they’re not ready to face “real life” yet, a lot of young people turn to teaching English abroad.

It’s a great way to have some real life experiences, make a little money, and figure out what you want to do with yourself.

And a lot of young people enter this next phase looking for something more.

Direction, meaning, love–here are 13 people who taught English with a purpose.

1. Some people might go because they got broken up with

And some might get broken up with because they decided to go.

My boyfriend just broke up with me because I got a job teaching English in China. I love him so much I almost don't want to take the great opportunity.

Image credit: Whisper

2. Some are just looking to be fulfilled

I can’t imagine criticizing. What a useful, selfless way to be fulfilled.

I'm teaching english in Spain. Some people criticize my decision but after 4 years of unhappiness in college, I need to be happy again.

Image credit: Whisper

3. Lots of people seem to be looking for love

I really hope they find it. At the very least, opening themselves up to new experiences invites love in.

I'm 25and leaving in 2 weeks to teach English abroad. i want to share this and future adventures with a partner so badly. Not sure that will ever happen.

Image credit: Whisper

4. Just stay open to possibility

What a beautiful love story. They will have so many adventures together!

I found the love of my life teaching English abroad. And several of my friends are students and have met their significant other abroad too.

Image credit: Whisper

5. Sometimes you might get lucky

You really never know what might happen.

I'm an English teacher in a foreign country and I have a private student who I get on really well with! Unfortunately he has a girlfriend but I really really like him. PS I'm 29 and he's in his 30s.

Image credit: Whisper

6. They already found love

And then they found a family! It honestly feels like a Hallmark movie.

Me and my hubby decided to volunteer for our honeymoon. We spent three months teaching English in Asia and are now adopting siblings from there.

Image credit: Whisper

7. Some aren’t looking for love, just space

And what better way to find yourself than to run away on an adventure?

I'm teaching English abroad. I needed some space to find myself.

Image credit: Whisper

8. Others aren’t looking for love, but they find it

Found families can be the best families.

I'm an English teacher in Japan and I became close friends with one of my student's parents. For the first time here I felt like I had family. And I might have to give that up. Feels like death.

Image credit: Whisper

9. Then there are those who just want acceptance

And they have no idea what to expect. They might be the bravest of all.

I'm planning on leaving SF (San Francisco) to live and teach English abroad. I'm nervous that people outside of SF won't understand Polyamory.

Image credit: Whisper

10. It’s a great way to escape

You’re young and untethered and have the world at your fingertips. Tbh, I’m a little jealous.

I got a job teaching English abroad so I can escape facing real life for a bit longer. I'm 23 and still not ready to grow up.

Image credit: Whisper

11. Sometimes what you’re escaping is the all-seeing eye

It’s honestly no one’s business but yours. Good for you!

I'm signing up for a course that will allow me to teach English abroad. I'm SUPER excited but I have to keep it on the DL because of work and my family's judgment.

Image credit: Whisper

12. For others, it’s all about the adventure

I just really love the enthusiasm here.

Landed my dream job teaching English in Thailand. Bring on the experience!?

Image credit: Whisper

13. Don’t forget that it can be mutually beneficial

You learn just as much as your students do, if you’re doing it right.

I actually think teaching English in Korea can be very helpful. I'm learning Korean in English, and it definitely comes in handy.

Image credit: Whisper

These are all such great reasons to take a job teaching English abroad.

I hope they all found what they were looking for!
