'dirt poor'--trailer trash 'fluent in multiple languages'--English and whatever mom's dealer spoke 'college athlete'--batboy 'rescue cute animals'--found a kitten that really belonged to the neighbor 'mixed race'--mom has no idea who the dad is 'former pro musician'--friend's band got paid for a gig once 'jack of all trades'--knows which end of a hammer to hold 'written scholarly papers'--got a B+ on a paper about Neanderthals and a B on one about James Joyce

Catberry posted:Fine. What about this one then? I had a science class in middle school that once a week we had to find a science news article and write a 100 word summary. One time I ran out of things to write so I wrote "Also, I doubt that these are actually read and just scanned to see if they look long enough" in the middle and then kept going. It went unnoticed and I proceeded to write more and more monkey cheese funny in 8th grade bullshit until something caught his eye and I got in trouble.

Speaking as an educator, the usual reason I'd make a restriction like that is if I had already used it as an example in class. Kids love having the opportunity to parrot your own words back to you instead of doing their own critical thinking.

chitoryu12 posted:Wait, why is Midsummer not acceptable for the question? I imagine because kids would reply that it is not feasible in modern times, as that play is about fairies and goblins - they would give a low effort, negative answer ("fairies don't exist so it couldn't happen haha").

The key part that didn't happen was the happenstance nature of it all. A bored security guard fired up the NameTagger 3000 and made a badge for his dog, then presumably posted it on tumblr because what good is anything without the approval of anonymous Superwholockians?

My guess is that the picture isn't related. A security dog had a badge made for him because that's adorable. A tumblr user decided to make it super wacky by posting that it was his friend's dog and it broke out of his house and got a job.

Thank god her father was there to not only explain feminism and the basic concepts of bodily autonomy to her, but to conclude that something must be mentally or physically wrong with her for wanting to take off her hijab! Or, y'know, he wasn't, because this poo poo absolutely did not happen.

I can absolutely believe this happened. Saw it happen right in front of me when I was at a friend's house. His sister came into the living room, said she didn't want to wear her head covering, mom and dad said "So take it off? You're 18, it's your decision." And that was that. No tumblr bullshit, no FB fishing for likes, just simple real conversation.

Like with most things posted ITT, they probably do happen at least sometimes in real life. But when you see them posted all across the internet as the next ~viral~ thing you can safely bet it was just a staged reenactment "inspired by true events" at best.

On the other hand, some goons will go in here to call something bullshit when it doesn't happen to fit their very limited life experience.
