If everyone else jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?



My parents used to say "your friends" instead of "everyone else" and I used to say "yes" because my friends are the kind of people that if they were to jump off a cliff, they would have calculated to trajectory, the physics, foreseen the landing point and probably even taken security measures.


And everytime I said "yes" I felt like that one meme that says "Joke's on you, I' m into that shit."







And for all the people who said "No", You obviously did not watch M Night Shyamalan's movie The Happening.

The characters in The Happening had great reasoning. The plants started warning people they were in a 00s Shyamalan movie. I'd lie down in front of a combine, too.

(PS - please don't watch it, it's awful, and I can't get you your 90 minutes back. In short, your friends might jump off without any good reason)

Hello Internet

What’s up?  And the internet replied, “ Quarantine “. On January 11, 2020, China announced to the world the first death from the COVID-19 virus. Since then, a lot has happened. Jobs vanished, economies were brought to their knees, currencies dropped and beloved stars were lost to history. Hundreds died and thousands were infected. Many businesses went out of order. Yet, the human race trudged on. Almost every country on the planet locked its borders down. Issued out a curfew and enforced it with aggressive passion. The largest pandemic of the 21st century had impacted thousands of lives in every country, in every continent. People were made to stay in their homes. A single word gained more popularity than Einstein ever had. That word:  Quarantine . Musicians and artists took to the internet to reach their fans and showcase their art. Charities shot up in support of the unfortunate victims to the corona-virus. Social Media had never seen such large usage rates before....

Learn something new everyday #1

Today I learned about Wolfgang Engels. He is  a former East German soldier. In late April 1963, the man stole a military tank from his base while the crew was at lunch and drove it right through the Berlin wall to escape from East Berlin to West Berlin. The East Berlin populace was so used to seeing tanks out on the streets that they actually stopped traffic to let the guy pass. The tank got stuck halfway through the wall and he got out, under heavy fire and successfully made the escape. He got his freedom, but his mother (a devout communist) disowned him. He became a biology teacher, retired and now works as a Docent at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The badassery of it. The sheer idea that "Tank. Wall. Let's do it" and then actually doing it. Damn. There were other folks who beat the Berlin wall as well.  In May 1963, Austrian Heinz Meixner drove a convertible right under the checkpoint gate. He realized the car is just short enough to make it, so he removed th...

The Internaut's Theory of Workplace Popularity

Brenda got the promotion! She doesn't even work. She just gossips all day with the boss. She just pawns off her work onto us and I've been working overtime and the boss won't even look at me!! We've all been there, either in school, or our workplace. We have seen this happen. Entire movies and TV shows have been made on this situation. Well, in this post, we look at my theory of why this happens and once you know why it happens, you'll know what to do about it.  Reddit user u/ghkuuk said in his post on the subreddit r/Showerthoughts, "Being proactive is rarely rewarded, because if your actions avoid a tragedy, there is no tragedy to prove your actions were warranted."   Employees that are consistent in their work / duties are constantly overlooked. This is so common in workplaces to see. The other place this is common in is places of study like schools and universities among students. Teachers tend to focus on students who do badly in school and never seem...
