Stevie Wonder isn't actually blind

Stevie Wonder isn't blind. Have you seen some of the clips out there? He catches microphones that are falling down. Like he's pointing at people. He's a blind guy that points. They do not point. Stevie Wonder is not blind. Look it up.

There is no medical or factual evidence to support the claim that Stevie Wonder is not blind.

The summer Olympics should include a 'Top Gun' style cockpit dogfighting competition

I've got dogfighting, except not dogs, like airplanes, like Top Gun... how amazing would that be if you have, like, cameras inside the cockpit... and the hard deck at 10,000 feet... qualifying person who finishes and last dies.

This is a satirical suggestion for an impossible Olympic sport.

The Arthur the Aardvark meme will be dead by the end of the weekend

Arthur the Aardvark memes. People can't get enough Arthur. ... [Burn rate] I don't think it makes it past the weekend. ... It's a strong sell. Get your Arthur's in tomorrow.

The Arthur meme, particularly the 'fist' image, persisted for months and is still used occasionally today; it definitely lasted past that single weekend in July 2016.

Parents name their kids Harper to falsely signal that they are well-read

My first one is Harper. I think a lot of people are naming their kids Harper. The reason this one makes me mad is it's kind of like a fake I'm really into book's name. I read that book that everyone read in high school [To Kill a Mockingbird], and it was a really good book even though that was the last book I read.

The motivation behind baby names is entirely subjective and cannot be verified for all parents.

The only difference between a mixtape and an album is price

[Mixtapes are] for free. Albums you have to technically pay for. You can still find it for free, but technically it costs money. Mixtapes are just for free. Musically... there's really not much of a difference.

In the mid-2010s, this was the primary distinction, though sampling rights also played a role.

The pinnacle of celebrity status is when nobody makes jokes about your death on Twitter
