    most are in the past year kind of recent:

    … that there’s a group of people who pronounce “gif” with a “soft g” sound like “jif”

    … that Taylor Swift is that popular, she is seen as a political threat for her influence

    … also armor bags for kids and shooter drills like it is some kind of natural disaster

      It fucking broke me when I learned that kids today instead of learning “Stop, Drop and Roll” learn “Run, Hide, Fight.” Fucking kindergartners are being taught, if you see a shooter, Run. If you can’t get away, Hide. If you can’t hide, try to be a hero because you are going to die anyway.

      lol Taylor Swift dating a player and just attending the Super Bowl (not doing anything) might genuinely bring in multiple million extra viewers.

      To be fair, the guy that invented gifs said it’s pronounced that way. Then again, he’s an inventor and most likely never learned how to read and also he’s wrong.
