Products to Make Continued Self-Isolation Moderately Tolerable

By now, we’re all getting used to being locked in our house and staying six feet away from everyone. While officials are discussing reopening America, experts warn that the coronavirus will be around a lot longer than we’d all like. Indeed, even if you can go back to the office in the next month or two, bars, clubs, social gatherings and more are likely to remain closed to encourage social distancing for the foreseeable future. These products are a great way to help keep your spirits up through what will likely be the first year without a summer since 1816. As a bonus, since they’re all sold through Etsy, you’ll be helping to support small businesses, artisans and crafters who can all use a little boost right now.

Revel in the Dumpster Fire of Modern Life With a Dumpster Fire Candle

dumpster fire candles

Dumpster fire is such a commonly used term these days that it was even added to Merriam-Webster in 2018. But it’s one thing to say you’re surrounded by dumpster fires and another thing to illustrate your point actually surround yourself with burning dumpsters. Unfortunately, that isn’t only impractical to do in most apartments, it’s also a fire hazard and rather stinky. Not to worry though, because Dumpster Fire Candles has you covered with tiny dumpsters in an array of colors and scents that look and smell a lot better than the real thing. In fact, some of the scents sound pretty yummy, like You Ruined Christmas, which smells like “cedar wood, fir and shitty gifts” or Resting Beach Face that features “ocean, orchid and judgment.”

Looking for something that maybe doesn’t look like a dumpster fire, but actually smells like one? Don’t worry, Wilderness Road Wicks has just what you’re looking for with their White House Dumpster Fire candle, which smells of “smells like the embers of the Constitution, festering piles of fresh hell, and schemes of peculation.” Alternatively, you can buy some Trump Repellent which the listing reads is “for when you want to chase away all the covfefe and Make America America Again. We promise this candle contains no artificial orange colorants or alternative fact additives.”

It’s all enough to make you need to be Heavily Medicated!

Celebrate The Dark Knight With A Joker Pizza

There’s no better pre-meal munchie than pizza and there’s no better pizza to eat before a Dark Knight Rises screening than a Joker pizza.

*This post was on Neatorama until people complained enough to have it pulled. I’d like to point out that when you let violent jackasses destroy the legacy of something that everyone otherwise loved, you’re letting them win. This idiot doesn’t deserve to be remembered. The victims do, and the victims were fans of the movie don’t forget them and don’t claim to honor them by doing the exact opposite of what they were doing.

/End of rant.

Anonymous Takes On Pepper Sprayer

You’ve no doubt seen videos or photos of students at UC Davis being peppersprayed by a douchebag cop (hell, there’s even a meme of it already), but you might not know that anonymous has decided to take action against him. Here’s a fraction of their message against him:

Citizens of the world, flood his home phone at 530-752-3989.
Flood his cell phone at 530-979-0184.
Flood his email at, japikeiii@ucdavis.edu.
Flood his home with pizza deliveries and junk mail at 4005 Cowell Boulevard. Apartment #616. Davis, California 95618.
Flood his skype at japike3.
Flood his phones, email and mailbox to voice your anger.
Flood the campus of U.C. Davis.
Flood the streets of the world and stand up for your rights, and against injustice.

Whether or not you agree with Occupy, you should be able to agree that no one should be peppersprayed simply for peacefully protesting.
