Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

"Words invented by white girls..." Dude you are deranged. Seriously get the fuck off the internet. Go do some gardening or find another hobby. Stop the brain rot before you die alone.
