What a week! We turned another year older, learned new facts about pangolins, and saw who would win in a battle between a chicken and 20,000 soldiers. If you’ve had a busy few days, don’t worry, we’re here to catch you up.
In case you missed it…
1. It was Imgur’s 8th birthday this week! We celebrated by sharing a few work stories, posting dance GIFs in this tag, and eating ice cream.
We even got balloons! Thanks kind stranger.
Thanks to the kind stranger who left happy birthday balloons outside of the Imgur office! <3
2. It was also someone else’s birthday, but sadly they weren’t having a great day.
It's my birthday. Even my parents forgot. Shitty god damn day. Whatever, I have wine and you guys
Until the Imgur community stepped in and flooder her post with witty and kind comments!
3. It was a good week to be a Pangolin as saw a flurry of posts discussing about these fascinating mammals.
"It's not easy being a pangolin." "Well, tough titties. That's the price of being AWESOME."
4. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Person on Facebook is trying to get this dog adopted. I think they chose the perfect photo
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
5. After an Imgurian shared a post about their favorite inventor…
…it was a great surprise for them to find out she’s on Imgur! simsalapim posted about their latest creation.
6. We all know that User Sub can be a harsh place. After one of their posts was getting downvoted, an Imgurian made this post.
MRW I upload a picture of the northern lights that I’ve taken myself and a lot of people downvote it
To their surprise, it made Most Viral and the community went and upvoted their original post!
7. We’ve been seeing a steady increase of Imgurians writing challenges in their bios. This week we saw this one hit Most Viral on Imgur.
Against all the odds, the Imgurian delivered in spectacular fashion.
8. What would happen in a fight if it was a chicken versus 20,000 soldiers? This apparently.
9. An Imgurian shared the story behind their incredible journey across the ocean with her friend to raise money for charity.
She also shared what it looked like where she slept.
10. An Imgurian drew their fiancee for two years in 50 different styles and now we know what true love looks like.
I drew my lovely fiancé for two years and today is our anniversary!
