Stuff I saw on the internet last week: "Brendan Fraser what have you done now"
Oh, look, it’s Monday again. Yes, I absolutely did spend all weekend watching more of Dimension 20, as well as play a ton of New Pokemon Snap, which is far more engrossing than it has any right to be. Onto internet stuff!

On last week’s episode of my podcast, I Hate It But I Love It, Jocelyn and I were joined by my lovely friend Joan to launch Teen Movie Month by talking about the 2001 Kirsten Dunst movie Get Over It, a movie that Martin short is trying his absolute HARDEST to make good.

As one of the rare people who doesn’t like Unsolved Mysteries because I wanna see the mysteries get solved, dammit, I appreciate this thread of solved mysteries:
The Bloop
tl;dr in 1997 a really weird and loud noise was detected underwater and everyone was all "WTF was that?". In 2012 it was determined it was an iceberg breaking and/or rubbing against the seabed.
Oh my god, this is the dream.
Your wife’s previous pregnancy was premature at 27 weeks and you don’t understand why she’s mad you left her alone for a weekend at 25 weeks?? WHAT?
So this year me, my brother and our friends agreed on going camping. I told my wife who is currently 25 weeks pregnant about it, three weeks before and she wasn’t happy, she said I can’t just leave her alone while she is pregnant. She said that she’s anxious because our daughter was born premature at 27 weeks and she’s scared it’s going to happen again with this pregnancy and that I wasn’t going to be there with her. I reminded her that this camping trip was only going to be for two days, I’m only a few hours away and that I highly doubt anything is going to happen while I’m gone for the weekend.
“Let me ouuuttttttt!!!”
Girl, DUMP THE MOTHERFUCKER ALREADY:
This time we are still living together as I prepare to move when he breaks down and begs me not to leave him promises that he will not hide anything or cheat anymore that he's done and that he will try to figure out why he doesn't want sex much. I take him back, only to find out 6 months later that he had been sneaking out and fucking his best friends wife with his help and approval while I was out grocery shopping and paying bills every friday. He then tries to force me to let him keep her, convinces me to talk to her, then they pressure me into letting them try it. It ends badly with him lying time and again saying they are over and us almost divorcing again before he actually stops.
This dude is a terrible father who dismisses his daughter’s legitimate issues:
My wife and I have a daughter, Ava (13). My wife is a great mom and takes good care of Ava but lately I feel like she's spoiling Ava and not letting her be as independent as she should be.
Some examples of this are: Ava struggles in school so my wife emails all of Ava's teachers to ask for modified assignments (she has an IEP, which I feel is unneeded but that's a different story) and sits down with her every day after school to do homework with her or do projects or study for tests. I don't think Ava's done a single assignment alone this year.

TIKTOKS!
Sometimes, the collaborative spirit of TikTok results in some amazing things.
This woman’s skills are incredible.
Those aren’t gender identity symbols, those are the Unown Pokemon.
Cats get everywhere and anywhere.
“Like Canadians didn’t have enough to worry about.”
A very good addition to the “tell me you’re stupid without telling me you’re stupid” TikTok trend.
“Don’t EV-ER send me an Instagram Reel.”
I haven’t worn contacts in years, but man, I wish I’d known about this back then.
This guy’s aim is unreal.
