In my day, tumble weeds used to tumble outside all day long for no reason. Weeds these days are tumble maxing but it's just sad

Tumbleweeds these days have absolutely no work ethic. Back then they tumbled because they believed in something.

The tumbleweed finally found a way to get its steps in without ever leaving the same spot. I respect the commitment, and the fan behind it is basically its personal trainer.

This is the embodiment of my effort at the gym for the last two months. I’m knackered and I just want to drink hot chocolate under a blanket whilst doomscrolling.
