One of my childhood friends told me that the earliest nightmare he could remember was that a giant spider crawled out from under his bed, shouted “Dinner time!” at him, and sprayed an endless jet of ice cream out of its rear into his mouth. He was probably telling pork pies, but I was so jealous anyway…

"I'm vegan," I said.
"We know," said my family, "You tell us that like every single day."
I nodded in acknowledgement and shoved an entire pitcher full of beans into my mouth. "Yes. I'm vegan."

United States President Donald John Trump.
In the lore of the SCP Foundation, Donald Trump is a naturally powerful “reality sink” that the SCP Foundation, a secretive organization tasked with protecting the world from supernatural threats, pulls strings behind the scenes to have elected president after learning of the existence of “Old Gorman,” or SCP-5004-A, a demon sealed beneath the United States Capitol Building with a 100-year-long spell in 1916, and concluding (much to their dismay) that Trump being President, which would drain Old Gorman’s power, is the only viable way to stop the demon from breaking free and destroying the east coast.

On January 20, 2017, SCP-5004-B was inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States. During the inauguration, which was scarcely attended, Foundation thaumatologists (as well as the three remaining members of the Metaphysical Club) confirmed that SCP-5004-A did begin to manifest in the baseline universe. However, as expected the entity was immediately affected by SCP-5004-B, which reduced SCP-5004-A's size considerably, likely as a defense mechanism against SCP-5004-B. The entity, now visible on infrared but otherwise invisible and intangible, came to rest above the head of SCP-5004-B where it stayed, curled into a tight fetal position roughly 2m in diameter.

The largest Reddit.com community (or Subreddit) dedicated to being a meme page specifically for transgender people.
At the time of writing, the majority of the userbase is known for being trans women, but it sees plenty of trans men and non-binary posters too.
Its name contains exactly 7 letter As and 10 letter Ns. It’s also known as “Traa” for short.

“Girl, you got yourself a major hangover! What were you doing last night?”
“I played the r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns drinking game…”
“What?”
“I went on Traa and took a shot every time I saw a post with Ferris Argyle. I got through the first bottle in ten minutes…”

The radical notion that a black person should be able to come into contact with a police officer and survive.
Philando Castile was shot by a cop in front of his girlfriend and her daughter just for informing him he had a legally-owned gun in the car? Oh, that’s messed up. Black lives matter.
