Reddit asked, how do you say you're American without saying you're American?
Why would I walk one block when my 3-ton SUV has perfectly functional air conditioning?
And what’s that in Fahrenheit?

Fire crews battling a stubborn, small brush fire in Colorado Springs over the weekend found themselves with a highly unusual four-legged safety officer. A local domestic goat named Goldie (short for Golden-Oreo) escaped her pasture and decided to join the response team.
Instead of running from the commotion, Goldie stayed perfectly by the firefighters' sides for hours, matching their pace as they cleared hot spots and brush. The crew officially named her the fire line's "moral support officer" before safely returning her to a very relieved owner.

What is no one doing right now?
Out of 8.3 billion people on Earth, what do you think no one is doing right now? What the internet said:

Scuba diving while eating string cheese.
Surfing on the back of a whale.
Reading, word for word, the Terms of Service before updating their phone’s operating system.
Not thinking about rhinos until they read this
Stepping into an operational time travel machine.
Walking a dinosaur.
