At any given point in time, there are about 3 million people playing the video game Fortnite on Xbox, Playstation, or PC, making it the most played game in the world. In Fortnite Battle Royale, 100 players are dropped onto an island littered with guns with nothing but a pickaxe and the ability to build forts out of harvested materials—the last player left alive is the winner. The game has become massively popular on Snapchat and Twitter, but that popularity has just found a new avenue: American collegiate institutions.

Ohio's Ashland University will now offer a Fortnite based scholarship through their e-sports team (which plays Overwatch, Rocket League, and Fortnite).

The Ashland e-sports team is truly honored to be what will surely be the first of MANY colleges offering Fortnite scholarships.

Young twitter users were, needless to say, pretty interested in enrolling at Ashland.

It looks like Ashland is taking the whole e-sports wave very seriously.

And, among gamers at least, it's one of the classiest things Ashland can do.

But the real question we all should be asking?

Fox News talking head and MAGA Republican President Donald Trump loyalist Jesse Watters stated on Fox News' The Five that he wants Democrats to win the House of Representatives in the midterm elections.

While plenty of people share that sentiment—as well as wanting Democrats to win in the Senate—it's probably not for the same reason Watters gave.

TikToker's Viral Video Comparing Passages From The Bible To Socialism Has People Nodding Hard

America has spent centuries working out this whole church-and-state separation thing, and judging by literally any comment section involving the Bible and politics, we remain one toxic group project away from getting an F.

Comedian Danny Killea put that tension to the test in an August TikTok, quizzing viewers on whether a quote came from the Bible or a socialist leader. Standing beside a TV displaying his homemade quiz, Killea turned a simple slideshow into TikTok’s most politically dangerous PowerPoint presentation.

TikToker Caitlin, @caitlinrecruiter, has sixteen years of experience as a job recruiter with top, prestigious companies, and as Gen Z is beginning to navigate the job market, she's seeing some recurring issues that she guarantees will get them passed over for job opportunities.

Someone Left A Hilarious Letter At The Grave Of The British General Who Burned Down The White House In 1814

A grave located in the Old Burying Ground in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, of a British military leader from Northern Ireland, who commanded in the War of 1812, has become a bit more popular as of late, especially with tourists from the United States.

British Major General Robert Ross was killed by a sniper during the Battle of Baltimore in September 1814 and his body was preserved in 129 gallons of Jamaican rum on a British ship so he could be returned to Ireland for burial. However, the Battle of New Orleans prevented that journey and he was instead interred in Halifax with full military honors on September 29, 1814.
