Joe Jonas Hilariously Chimes In After Couple's Argument About Him Goes Viral On TikTok
The Jonas Brothers singer became the center of a relationship spat on TikTok after a fan jokingly told her husband, “I love Joe Jonas.”
In the viral clip, the husband replied, “You’re my wife. We are married... ‘til death do us part!”
Not missing a beat, she added an important caveat to those vows: “Unless Joe walks through that door.”
Her husband doubled down, “Joe Jonas, who's like five foot three? I’ll fight his a**. That’s a promise.”
The clip went viral due first to the sentiments expressed by both parties, which many people found relatable.
Enter Jonas himself. Not one to let love go down without a laugh, he jumped into the comment section:
“Well, I love you both and I’m 5’4 ok.”
Case closed. (FYI: IMDb lists him at 5′ 8″, but we’ll let Jonas himself say what he wants to for the sake of comedy—and marriage.)
People thought him adding his comment was truly the icing on the cake in the argument.

Many folks said that if her husband loved her, he wouldn’t get in the way of her nuptial bliss with Joe Jonas.

He should have known what kind of promise he was making in marrying her.

Viral Tweet Claiming That 100 Unarmed Men Could Beat A Single Gorilla Sparks Heated Debate
His premise?
"i think 100 [men] could beat 1 gorilla everybody just gotta be dedicated to the sh*t"
@DreamChasnMike/X
The post went viral with over 290 million views as of the following Friday.
Soon others were weighing in and employing AI to find an answer to this question for the ages. Some people put a lot of work into their answers.
People—men, it's mostly men—seem downright obsessed.
Is this like another Roman Empire thing?
How long have men been thinking about ganging up on a gorilla‽‽
Lots of people had thoughts on the issue.
While the human vs. gorilla fight night post went viral this week, the question has been banging around the internet for almost a decade.
It routinely gets posted in the Who Would Win subReddit, including the entry here from five years ago.
As well as popping up on Quora more than once, with entries going back at least eight years.
It's unclear if any of the people thinking they could take on a gorilla—in an unfair 100 to 1 fight—were also among the 12% of men who back in 2019 said they could easily score a point on the tennis court against Serena Williams.
But it's giving a lot of the same energy.
There are two species of gorillas in the wild at present: the western gorilla and the eastern gorilla. Each of these species is further divided into two subspecies.
The eastern gorilla species consists of the subspecies Mountain gorilla and the Eastern Lowland gorilla—also referred to as the Grauer's gorilla. The western gorilla species consists of the Cross River gorilla and the Western Lowland gorilla subspecies.

The largest of the subspecies are the Eastern Lowland gorilla. Silverback males can weigh up to 400 pounds and stand between 5'5″ to 6" tall, making them, at ideal weight, the heaviest primates alive.
Silverbacks are significantly larger and stronger than human males.
Their strength-to-mass ratio is estimated to be around 10 times their body weight. They can lift massive weights, tear down trees, and possess exceptional upper body strength.
But they are generally described as gentle giants known for a peaceful and sociable nature within their family groups of up to 30 individuals. While they will display aggression when threatened, they—unlike chimpanzees—generally avoid confrontations with other gorilla groups or other species in their habitat.
Why 100 men would want to pick a fight with a gorilla might be the bigger question that needs to be answered.
GOP Lawmaker Dragged After Admitting He Has No Evidence Of Student 'Furries' Using Litter Boxes
In an attempt to be clever, Gerdes named his bill the Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education— F.U.R.R.I.E.S.—Act.
According to his bill, students would be expelled for engaging in "non-human behavior" other than on "exempt days."
Texas HB54
Of greatest importance to the Texas Republican is ensuring students don't use litter boxes.
The bill states:
"'Non-Human Behavior' means any type of behavior or accessory displayed by a student in a school district other than behaviors or accessories typically displayed by a member of the homo sapiens species including: (A) using a litter box for the passing of stool, urine, or other human byproducts"
Texas HB54
Republicans across the country have repeatedly trotted out this lie as a means to promote their efforts to defund public schools and to manufacture a slippery slope to support their transphobic agenda.
But Texas Democratic state Representative James Talarico was unwilling to let it slide.
He confronted Gerdes about the purpose of his bill and the necessity of wasting legislative time on it.
Representative Talarico asked:
"Can you name a school where it has been confirmed that students are using litter boxes?"
Gerdes responded:
"Uh, well, what we do with this bill is we prevent that from happening."
You can see the exchange here:
Undeterred by Gerdes non-answer, Representative Talarico asked again:
"Can you name a school where it has been confirmed that students are using litter boxes?"
The Texas Democrat pointed out how Gerdes used the existence of litter boxes in schools to gain public support and media attention.
Representative Talarico stated:
"This was at the top of your press release. This was mentioned when you introduced this bill. Created quite a stir."
"So I’m asking, can you name a school where it’s been confirmed that there are litter boxes being provided to students?"
Gerdes replied:
"For this purpose? No, I cannot."
Representative Talarico explained the purpose of his question, saying:
"I find it concerning that these types of debunked conspiracy theories are being used by politicians at the highest levels of our government, including in this legislature, who know that they’re incorrect."
He then asked Gerdes:
"Are you aware that [Texas Republican] Governor Abbott said, quote, 'Kids go to school dressed up as cats with litter boxes in their classrooms?'"
Abbott exploited the litter box lie to push for public funding for private school vouchers.
Gerdes simply responded:
"Sure."
Representative Talarico continued, adding:
"Are you also aware that when the governor was asked by the 'Dallas Morning News' to name a single school where this happened, he couldn’t, and PolitiFact called this a 'pants-on-fire' false claim started by online rumors?"
After Gerdes said, "OK," Representative Talarico asked him:
"Do you think it’s a good use of our time to write laws based on debunked internet conspiracy theories?"
Gerdes admitted the litter box story he used repeatedly in the press was a lie, but claimed:
"Well, this isn’t, uh—this piece of legislature before us covers that among other things that are true."
Gerdes failed to specify what those other things that weren't lies were.
Representative Talarico called out several lies being spun by the GOP.
People agreed that Republicans' manufactured outrage is a waste of time that could be better used on real issues.

The GOP is, if nothing else, dedicated to their lies.
The " litter boxes in schools" lie spawned in 2022 from the anti-LGBTQ+ propaganda created by Chaya Raichik on her once anonymous "Libs of TikTok" social media accounts.
MAGA Republicans then falsely claimed public schools were catering to furries and providing students with litter boxes instead of toilets. The lie prompted similar debate or proposed legislation in Nebraska, Michigan, North Dakota, and Oklahoma.
The truth that inspired Raichik to create her viral lie was teachers sharing on TikTok the emergency buckets/boxes stocked in their classrooms in preparation for school shootings.
@notsilencednow/X
Many of those buckets include kitty litter so children can relieve themselves in a bucket with some dignity instead of soiling their clothing.
If Republicans really want to eliminate kitty litter in classrooms, it looks like they should start by addressing gun violence.
