The Call is Trying to Contact you about your Destiny's Extended Warranty
Happy Tuesday! This week is my final week at BuzzFeed, which is very bittersweet. I’m moving onto a new gig that I’m excited about, but I’ve had the best time in my job for the last six-and-a-half years. The end of an era!!! Okay, onto internet things.
Think about getting a paid subscription to Stuff I Saw On The Internet
Paid subscribers get bonus issues of internet stuff — like this one I published last week! It’s just $5 a month, or $30 a year, which is six months free. And it’s also a way to show your support of the work I put into this newsletter! So that’d be nice. Click below!
It’s Romantic Movie Month on I Hate It But I Love It
Continuing with romance movies this month on our podcast, last week Jocelyn and I talked about Say Anything, a surprise all-love, no-hate episode. It’s a really lovely film! Lloyd Dobler is a treasure! And would you believe it, this week is IHIBILI’s FIVE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY, and we’re commemorating it by discussing (500) Days of Summer. You should subscribe, if you wanna be cool! (You can find I Hate It But I Love It in all the usual places, including Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, and Pocket Casts.)
TWEETS!
REDDIT!
This fucking asshole. As people point out, the groom wants to invite these bullies because they used to hang out, but his fiancée’s feelings are irrelevant because the bullying happened “so long ago”:
She said she doesn't want any member of this group in our wedding whatsoever, I asked her to explain and she claimed they'd heavily bullied and harrassed her in high school while she was dealing with major health problems. She said they made her life hell and caused her mental health permenant damaged. I asked if she was serious because this was many years ago and everyone has matured by now.
This is just one of the weirdest posts I’ve ever seen on Reddit, and the updates do nothing to un-weird it:
I was really good friends with this girl, A, and had a crush on her. She seemed to like me back, until she got a new bf. I was unhappy and said I couldn't be her friend because of my feelings, and she admitted that her behaviour towards me was misleading. She didn't want to stop being friends so I suggested I be a part of the relationship. She eventually said yes and we came up with an agreement.
Not where sex or romance was involved, but I would be invited to all dates that didn't happen at A or BFs house. I would be invited to valentines days. No kissing but hugging/cuddling etc two times a week was fine. We made up a list of things I would be involved with, and we went on our first date together last week. A said she showed her BF the list and he seemed fine about it.
Just a very clueless person who wilfully ignores indirect and direct messages to go away:
Sometimes when I dont have a call I'm in his neighborhood so I stop by his place to chill. His wife answers the door and she's always chill. Kids running around, she's in her pajamas. She invites me in and offers me coffee. I often talk about my wife or complain about work then leave for the next call. After a couple weeks of this she stops letting me in. I ask if my bro is there and she says no and closes the door. Ok, so I have lunch in my car or something.
WHAT IS THE HUSBAND TRYING TO GET THEM TO SIGN??? I NEED TO KNOW!!!
Just a couple of days ago, he's been trying to get me to sign papers while wearing a blind fold. I refused to do it because he never lets me take a look at what I'm signing neither before or after. He says that he was just trying to see if I could leave the same signature everytime I sign but I couldn't help feel uncomfortable. I told him I don't want to play this game unless and until he shows me the papers first, he said "nevermind then" and stopped bringing it up

TIKTOK!
Has there ever been a bad version of the “I would like to see the baby” meme? I don’t think so.
A coworker hard at work.
What is a ceramic emergency?
“Honey! Good news! I would like to cuddle.”
The song that I will be singing until the end of time.
I would love to get this for my house, but I’ve already vetoed far less tacky decor ideas from Craig, and I think it would just open the floodgates.
Some bunny fur ASMR.
Look at that belly.
A real mood.
