This meme, entitled "You Won't Get Anything Done Hoeing Like That," is from the 2012 anime film Wolf Children. And because memers are all apparently 12 years old, a word like "hoeing" will never go unnoticed in the meme-iverse. People have been using the meme to represent their unsuccessful slutty endeavors, which many of us are certainly guilty of.

Ralph Wiggum is the star of this trending dank meme that's making us chuckle right now. If you're not familiar with The Simpsons, then that's pretty weird because it's been on air since the late '80s. In all seriousness though, Ralph is the resident dopey oddball student at Springfield elementary. You can check out some of his bizarre sayings here!
Marie Kondo is referring to a totally different kind of mess, but we still feel this.
Ariana Grande is getting roasted hard for the newest addition to her tattoo collection. On Tuesday, the singer posted a photo on Instagram of the tattoo on her palm, which supposedly reads "seven rings" in Japanese in honor of her latest single of the same name. Only, Japanese speakers on social media started noticing that the tattoo doesn't actually say "seven rings," but rather "Japanese-style barbecue grill" due to a terrible translation fail.
Following the backlash, Grande deleted her Instagram post and attempted to "fix" the tattoo with the help of her Japanese tutor by adding another character and a heart symbol. Unfortunately, this time around the tattoo reads "Japanese barbecue finger <3" which is arguably a lot worse than the original. Might be time to find a better tutor, Ariana. Sigh.

Japanese game shows are famously entertaining, and Slippery Stairs is no exception. Watching these rainbow-suited contestants struggle to ascend some seriously slick stairs is painfully funny. Hopefully we'll get a similar show on this side of the world.

48 chicken nuggets, 2,256 calories, no regrets.
McDonald's in Japan is planning on offering a 48-piece chicken nugget meal. The United States currently offers a 40-piece, so maybe this doesn't seem like a big deal.
But it is. Because the largest current chicken nugget meal in Japan is a 15-piece.
From Kotaku:
Likewise, the offer is for a limited time only. It's available only in Niigata Prefecture and part of a promotional tie-up with the the newly launched pop group NGT48, the Niigata-based spin-off of the massively popular idol unit AKB48. The groups tend to have around 48 members (sometimes more, sometimes less), divided up into different teams. That's a lot of idols. That's okay, this is a lot of nuggets. Forty-eight nuggets is surely a whole chicken, no? Fifty has to be.
King Curtis is very happy with this decision.
