IN CASE YOU DIDN'T GET YOUR FILL OF SUGARY TREATS LAST WEEK, IT'S NATIONAL STICKY BUN DAY
Yeah, we're talking gooey yeasty sticky pastries, perhaps loaded with nuts and maple syrup for good measure. What's not to love?
Our Delve Deck Joy Edition asks what dessert you'll always order if it's on the menu, and some sort of cinnamon roll or sticky bun is at the top of my list. It's a dopamine rush in edible form.
If you could use a little treat to brighten your day, perhaps a Delve Deck Joy Edition or some other fun item from our site, you can get FREE US SHIPPING on any order today with code STICKY at check out.
Sticky buns may not solve your problems, but they will momentarily distract you from them. Take what you can get. 🤷♀️

Want a few interesting historical tidbits and famous birthdays before we get to amusing links to brighten your day? Have at them:

1. 😈️ Can men and women just be friends?
Tess and Gabe from Boredwalk's content team might not think so, but they have some very different reasons why!
For more LOLs from our team be sure to follow us on our OG social accounts such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and/or Facebook.
2. 🤖 Watch out for Alexa, she has an agenda
Humorist Emily Morrow imagines the robot uprising we're all dreading/expecting.
3. 💀 Are you attempting to blend in with the human population?
Horror/humor creator Ashur Gharavi has some ideas for you. I have to admit, I was transfixed by Ashur's content and binged all of his videos. If you like super bizarre funny spooky content (and if you're a Boredwalk fan, I bet you do) you'll probably enjoy a lot of his content.
4. 😆 If planet Earth were on a dating app
Humor creator Hila imagines what Earth's dating profile would say to try to get some right swipes.
5. 🧙 Why Terry the gnome finds himself in the corner
Terry isn't getting his gnome bacon due to his dark magic antics. Will he learn his lesson? Doubtful.

We'll be back here in your inbox on Friday with more nonsense holidays to dissect, more notable birthdays (and maybe even some notable deathdays!) to celebrate, and more witty content in general. Until then...
Peace, love, and pastries,
Meredith
