57 of the Funniest Burns from the Week of July 29, 2024
This year’s Summer Olympics has been one for the history books. Memories have been made, memes have been born and records have been broken. The biggest highlight on the American side of things has obviously been Simone Biles. The singular gymnast secured gold medals in the team competition and the women’s all-around, bringing her grand total of Olympic medals to nine.
In the process, she’s literally reached heights that many of her competitors could only dream of. In fact, a recent estimate found that she clears at least 12 feet during her floor exercise. As one infographic that’s circulated online pointed out, that’s equivalent to roughly nine corgis stacked on top of each other. Using stout pups in such a way caused one Twitter user to joke that Americans will do anything to avoid joining the rest of the world in using the metric system.
Of course, Americans’ love of the imperial system wasn’t the only thing getting roasted this week. Other digital burn victims included a useless plane emoji, lyrics that could’ve been written by a gorilla and someone with no love in their heart.
