Sarcasm...
Whenever I go on a social media website, there'll be a picture like on the left, or a so relatable tag saying something like "I'm allergic to stupidity so I break out in sarcasm" (Link Here). Or something like " I speak (Image Credit Here) fluent sarcasm." (Link Here) But why does it matter? Why do the people of my generation feel like it's cool to be sarcastic? A normal conversation with my friends will include some sort of comment on how sarcastic they are. Is it really necessary? Does it make them feel validated by everyone else? Or is it advertised so much that if you aren’t then it’s weird? I've never been a sarcastic person, and my friends enjoy pointing that out as much as possible; but what is it exactly that they’re trying to prove?

Money
Can money buy happiness? I know that many people say it can’t, but why not? If anything is possible, then why can’t money buy a person’s happiness? People say that if a person had all the money in the world, but was alone, then they would be sad. But, what are the chances of me being all alone and left with only money. I mean seriously, time to be realistic here! The more money I have, the happier I get. I could buy whatever I want, and do whatever I want.
Not only would money make me happy, but it could make the others around me happy as well. Most philanthropists have a lot of money. Just think about Oprah Winfrey, ( Image Credit Here)
Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates. What’s one thing they have in common? Oh right, money! They don’t just spend their money on useless things, they use it to help other people as well. And when they help those people, those people become happy too.
See what I’m saying? I know that there can be multiple arguments against this, but to me it seems pretty good. I’d say I answered the question myself, but I’m still kind of iffy on the topic. I guess it really just depends on one’s personal preference.
Food
Why are they called “animal crackers” if they’re not even crackers? The Google definition of cracker is a thin, crispy wafer often eaten with cheese or other savory toppings. Are animal crackers usually eaten with cheese or savory toppings? I don’t think so, and even if someone did, it would be weird. Animal crackers are like wafers but aren’t as crispy and are sweeter. Is it possible that the animal cracker could be a combination of a cookie and a wafer? The world may never know.
My next thought is why are eggs considered a breakfast food? And why is there a specific category for food to go into? It is said that eating protein in the morning is good for you, so I get that part. But why eat an egg, why not eat an actual chicken? Or better yet, why not a steak? Food was meant to be eaten, not categorized into when they should be eaten. Imagine if people were categorized based on what they were. Oh wait, they are! So if we don’t like that feeling, then why must we put it upon poor unhatched chicks?
