    Hot take Tuesday. Whenever I’m scrolling on news sites or the other place and I come across headings like “What is this thing?” or “You’ll never guess what someone found in their Big Mac?” I don’t want to know. I’m not clicking.

        @Seagoon_ @CEOofmyhouse56 And more often than not, the answer is lame.

        “You’ll never believe what this '90s heartthrob looks like now!”

        It looks like him, but 30 years older.

        And I would believe it, because he was famous 30 years ago.

        “You’ll never believe what the kids of this celebrity are doing now!”

        Going to uni.

        Because they’re in their early 20s.

        I feel bad for kids who will grow up not knowing what they’ve missed (by extension I’d be the same, I never really experienced Australia prior to 2009 when I first arrived). The new normal…

      Piggybacking off from you I hate news articles that tease something then it ends with “Click here to find out!”

      Pisses me off to no end.

      Also I had to look up the interview news about the baby and The Project.

      Sky news and News.com.au have the headlines of the “host mocked for interview”

      Most other news outlet are neutral with their headlines but the vitriol of sky news and News.com.au is disgusting.
