Person's Parents Have Been Playing 'Mario Kart' Every Day Since 2001 For A Very Specific Reason 😂

Person's Parents Have Been Playing 'Mario Kart' Every Day Since 2001 For A Very Specific Reason 😂
Reddit: bork1138

You know what they say: a family that plays together, stays together.

That might be true, but this couple has other reasons for competing with video games and the stakes are pretty high.


Tea.

That's what it all comes down to for Reddit user bork1138's mom and dad. Tea, and who is going to make it.

Winner takes all; well, winner sits back while loser makes the tea. This isn't a new thing either; it's been going on for 17 years!

Now that's some dedication to wanting the tea but not wanting to make the tea.


GIPHY

The photo of the couple deeply immersed with their competition was posted by bork1138 with the caption:

"Every day my parents play Mario Kart 64 to see who will make a cuppa tea. They've done this religiously since 2001."

We're seeing this as some serious relationship goals.

"Absolutely my goal in life! Congrats to the beautiful couple!"

"This! This is goals! When I'm old and grey, I want to do this over a cup of tea."

Others saw something else.

"I would like to join this religion."

"Your mum is dressed like a Jedi."

Is this how politics will be settled?

"The ultimate way to get things done. Now if only world officials applied this method."

Competition has its place in the family dynamic.

"Any "major" decision my wife and I make is done by paper-rock-scissors-shot. Trash needs to go out? Shoot! Dog shit on the carpet and has to be cleaned? Shoot!"

And for those wondering if this has really been going on for so long, here is a photo from 2014.

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.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

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!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
