  I’m tired, so I hope that’s why I don’t get it.

  Anyone willing to explain this one? I’m pretty sure I’ll face palm myself, but it just isn’t clicking on my own lol

  9/11 was the 9/11 of the Jenga business

      It was a poor reference to a quote from the TV show Community. The half Palestinian character Abed says that his father’s falafel restaurant had been struggling for a while because “9/11 was pretty much the 9/11 of the falafel business”

  Now I wonder how this graph would look like Stephen Kings “The Stand” during the pandemic.

  Did people want to read a book about a flu-like pandemic wiping out humanity or rather not not?

    It seems like people did. ‘The Plague’ and Contagion did very well.

      The game “Plague Inc” spiked in popularity, so the devs rushed out a game about saving humanity instead of destroying it lol
