the best 3 minutes of video I've watched this year

[wanye @xwanyex]

There’s a moment that happens to new parents, probably around four in the morning, when you’ve been up all night with a sick kid, and they’ve just thrown up again, and you’re so fucking tired and frustrated, but it’s outweighed by the sympathy you feel for this helpless dependent, and most of all you just want them to feel better, and then it hits you that this is what your mom did for you, and in that moment you understand your parents in a new way, fully comprehend what they did for you — like, you really get it, way down in your stomach, not just in the abstract way that anybody can understand what parents do for children — and you realize that from now on you’re always going to see things from the perspective of the parent, not as a child, and a lot of your complaints and hangups and neuroses will melt away, never to return, and from now on the stories you’ll tell about your childhood, stories you’ve told 1000 times before, will have a slightly different character, will be based on a fuller understanding of who you are and what actually happened to you, and you’ll think, “my God, in all those years of childlessness, I’ve cheated myself of this realization, of this opportunity to understand the world as it really is and move on.”

And if you’re childless and reading this, then maybe you’re thinking, “sure, but obviously I can intellectually understand this without having children of my own” and it’s just, like, no, probably not.

It just doesn’t really work like that.

Seriously LMAO, Warning ⚠️ don’t attempt to drink anything while watching this, especially if you have a juvenile sense of humor.

[FanDuel @FanDuel]

Quite possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen.

It’s weird how rarely you hear what it actually feels like to be a Dad.

This answer to ‘who are you jealous of?’ from Bob Odenkirk had me blaming dust & onions.

How do I convince the next generation of football fans that this man was a LB🥹

[Bovril-Gesellschaft @BovrilG]

I’ve often wondered what it must be like to go through life as a mildly retarded person. The world must feel like a confusing and threatening place most of the time but you’d end up with isolated moments of pure childlike wonder like this.

This is now my favourite thread on here.

There's nothing quite like international football 💚

Carrying a sleeping kid out of the car really is one of life’s greatest little joys. If that makes you a “dadfag” then be a dadfag.

Instagram keeps serving this video up to me, and I keep laughing.

Shohei Ohtani is an amazing case study. Imagine the diabolical things Michael Jordan would get into if he could pretend he didn’t speak English

Paul Gascoigne says he was once dropped from the England team by Glenn Hoddle for making a joke about his Christianity.

@realMattKParker Ducks ftw!! So, so good! (Not sure what you could have put below to make me move away from that thought as soon as I saw the spine.)
