The government telling people to stay home, stock up on rice and pasta and toilet paper. Shut the blinds and hide inside, and binge watch Netflix and video games for a while till the threat is gone. Its not very strict since you can technically still go out for “essentials” like toilet paper and pop tarts. Certain places stay open, but a lot of places close.
Bay Area government: “We are ordering people to shelter in place beginning Tuesday March 17, for the next 3 weeks in response to the Coronavirus pandemic sweeping the world”

Hysteric Public: “wtf?!? I need to go to Safeway and get all the toilet paper! Then wait in line at Costco for 4 hours to get all the Purell to fill a bathtub to disinfect myself and bleach to disinfect my stomach! (Jk, don’t do that please. Bleach kills, DO NOT DRINK BLEACH!)”
Concerned public: “So it’s like a quarantine? Are we allowed to leave our homes? What about our jobs? And the (insert something here) convention this weekend?”
Bay Area government: “Not a quarantine, you can leave your home for essentials. Businesses deemed essential like grocery stores and petCo (dogs have to eat too) will remain open. Restaurants will have to close and do takeout/deliver only. Healthcare workers will continue. All public gatherings of like 10 or more people will have to be canceled, sorry. Also if you have to go out, keep a distance of 6’ between yourself and other people. So try not to freak out”

r/place was Reddit's April Fools joke for 2017. Basically, it was a 1000 x 1000 pixel blank 'canvas'. Anyone with a more-than-a-month-old Reddit account could place a pixel on the canvas in one of 16 colors, but they then had to wait 5 minutes before placing another pixel. The idea was to encourage people to work together and create something.
It was pretty popular, there were a bunch of 'factions' trying to make different things, etc. If you want to know more about that just YouTube search "history of r/place".
r/place was shut down after 72 hours, almost immediately after that remakes started popping up like weeds.
r/place's slogan was 'Individually you can create something. Together we can create something more.'
...problem is, most people just banded together into little tribes. Kinda like life.

A place where drama and evil dwell
The neighborhood I live in is a payton place because my neighbors like to stir up drama by telling lies and doing all things evil.
