A popular rumor you have heard is a penny can derail a train if it's on the track. Though all evidence points to this being false, it still bring up an excellent point: how do the smallest things occasionally make the biggest impact, for good or bad.

It's The Watching It Tumble That Makes It Tough

Stacking and tidying a lot of something up, wiping your hands and smile as you accomplished it, then turn and accidentally hip check the stack and it all tumbles to the floor, if not breakable, you're basically back to square one in this Sisyphian task.

If breakable, all you can do is watch everything fall in slow-mo as "Hello Darkness My Old Friend" plays in your head.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!
