Ah society, you really are a funny little enigma aren’t you? We all bring something individual to society, whether it be for good or ill, maybe you fashion little crochet jumpers for cats, or you volunteer at a local charity?
However, there are also those moments that say something about society in a, well, less than completely positive way. These could be quite asinine things like showing us how bored local kids are, or they could be things like people going shopping in full S&M gear during a pandemic (yes, hold onto your hats for that one!). So, without further ado, here are 12+ moments that really say something about society!

DoorDash employees must be booming with business at the moment! I mean, I don’t know if it’s worth getting paid in toilet rolls, but whatever.
Not The Testicle Festival!
First of all, why do we have such a thing as a testicle festival; secondly, why do we have a testicle festival? I know that they’re technically the same thing but I felt that it is such a glaringly important point that it warranted being said twice.

“This lady is out getting supplies.”
So, did she just have that lying around before all of this kicked off, or did she… you know what, I don’t want to think about it. At least this is a fetish that prepared them for the end of days.
There Is No Hope For Us
What more can you really say about this, other than please may God have mercy on us for some people’s stupidity.
“Unicorn hazmat suit.”
If your choice is being safe in a unicorn suit or exposing yourself in these uncertain times, then always choose the unicorn. In fact, just choose the unicorn even when there isn’t a pandemic!
“Went to the shop last night. Every aisle had been picked clean apart from this… People are idiots.”
In fairness, it might just be because Corona beer tastes like it has been wrung out of a rat that was sprayed with lime Febreeze.

There have already been a lot of couples feeling the sting of self-quarantining together! Looks like this couple should be alright though!
“My buddy was cleaning out his desk while at home during the quarantine, and found a $50 gift card!”
When it comes down to it, people will never throw away a gift card. No matter how out of date or useless it is, people will always hold onto it!
“My wheels just got stolen.”
Even at a time of crisis like this, there are people out there trying to screw over other people.
“Why Is There Braille On The Number Pads On Vending Machines When They Can’t See The Numbers For What They Want?”
Someone here was just trying to do the right thing. They were so close, yet so far!
We’re Doomed
I know that this one has been doing the rounds a lot lately, but it simply never ceases to amaze me what people will do for a sliver of internet attention nowadays.
I get the feeling they couldn’t decide which movie quote they wanted to use for this, so they went with both.
If Ferris Bueller can convince a fancy restaurant that he’s the sausage king of Chicago, he should be able to convince us to stay home.
As for the Clerks reference, I also would’ve accepted “You’re not even supposed to be here today.”
There have been a lot of unexpected side effects of this whole Coronavirus business, but the increase of dinosaurs walking the streets has to be one of the more pleasant ones.
In case you’re wondering why this is happening, the fact that I saw one holding a sign saying “Extinction sucks, stay home” probably serves as a major clue.
It’s always nice to see people looking out for each other, especially right now.
Apparently, this kind of caring and generous response is well in line with the reputation of Nepal.

This guy’s birthday happened to fall on a time when he was self-isolating, so this is how he celebrated.
While I’ve definitely been a lot of these people at a party, I’m pretty tickled by the one that’s just staring at a wall for whatever reason.
A lot of places are keeping all non-essential personnel home, but this is what it looks like to be essential.
And considering that this person works in a factory that makes hand sanitizer, it’s not hard to understand why he’s got to keep pushing ahead.

As we can see, a lot of people are less than satisfied with how the president has responded to this whole crisis.
As clever as the idea to make him look like the virus using those ogre ear stalks was, however, I don’t know what Shrek ever did to deserve getting dragged into this.
Ever since people have had to quarantine, a lot of them have taken to knitting to pass the time.
Of course, it’s a little easier to do that when you have some idea of the head your adorable little hats are trying to fit. Hence, we have the uploader’s grandpa modelling for their grandma.
As many more people work from home now, a lot of them are seeing a lot more video conferencing.
And since this can involve “rooms” of tens of people at once, this person figured he could just substitute their dog into the meeting.
At my office, this would only make you more noticeable, but also more popular so it’s kind of a trade-off.
That trade-off is probably why this person found a more subtle way to fade into the background.
And if worse comes to worse, this person can just claim they froze because of some connection issues later.
Yup, very persistent connection issues that happen to only show up during the most boring meetings. Weird…
I guess this seems like a reasonable enough request, but I really want to know the story behind why they had to make it.

For this guy’s 15th birthday, he wanted to find a responsible way to party.
So rather than have a bunch of people over and put them all at risk, he encouraged people to celebrate as they drove by.
After all, this is definitely a time when people would need a slice of pizza and a cupcake.
This German mural works a lot better than its artist may have even realized.
Because while “schatz” is indeed the German word for “treasure” (so “precious is close enough), it also sounds like something we’d need toilet paper for.
