Parts of Hong Kong became flooded this week due to heavy rains, but that wasn't enough to stop this dude from getting his Starbucks.

There are inches of floodwater pooling beneath him, but he is completely un-phased by it. The pic was snapped by 23yo medical worker Christy Chan, who told the BBC she was trying to get some pictures of the flooding to show her family.

"It was quite funny. Maybe he already has that many life experiences so the flood didn't bother him at all," says Chan.

Once the picture was grabbed by Mao Kee TV and published to Facebook, the image instantly went viral, and the man was knighted as "Starbucks Uncle." Are uncles insistent on drinking their coffee in Hong Kong? Is this a thing?

Naturally, Starbucks Uncle got memed to reflect his v cool demeanor.

Apparently, there were other patrons at this flooded 'Bucks, but none sitting so placidly as to become a viral sensation. Of course, the image completely ignores the real heroes of this story: the employees who had to come to in make those drinks for the lunatics who needed coffee so bad they'd sit in a flood to drink it .

Good news for anyone who has ever had any interest in comedy: Comedic legends and overall goddesses, Carol Burnett and Amy Poehler, are teaming up to bring us a brand new sitcom. Stop pinching yourself. You're not dreaming. This is real.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Burnett will star in the yet-to-be-named project with Poehler on-board as an executive producer. Be still our hearts.

The multicamera comedy will be produced by Universal Television and written by former Mad Men and Murphy Brown writer, Michael Saltzman. THR says that the show's plot "centers on a family who gets the chance to buy the house of their dreams — one that they could never afford — on the condition that they live with the current owner, an older actress (Burnett), until she dies." There is no way this could possibly be anything but amazing.

It's no secret that Poehler is a huge Carol Burnett fan (as is everyone). She and Tina Fey presented Burnett with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2016 SAG Awards, and in 2013 when Burnett received the Mark Twain Prize, she did a character as Burnett's long-time personal assistant.

Um, so ... how long do we have to wait for this show?

People (but not People just yet,In Touchand Hollywood Life) are reporting that Khloé Kardashian might just be engaged to Cleveland Cavalier Tristan Thompson.

The two are said to be dating for two months, having been spotted in Mexico and making out at a Drake concert in September.

It must be serious, because the 25-year-old Thompson already met the mom.

It's pretty suspicious, as nothing the Kardashians do is ever secret, but it would be a cool strategy of momager Kris Jenner to generate buzz with the slow roll out.

BUT, October 21st happens to be Kim's birthday, and because she's laying low after the robbery, the Kardashian media strategists just might want to flip the blog cycle to Khloé so Kim has a chill day. Hmm.

It gets juicier: while Thompson is now with Kardashian, Thompson's ex-girlfriend is pregnant, and it may or may not be his baby, so look forward to a Keeping Up With the Kardashians-Maury Povich crossover episode.

Oh, and Khloé isn't officially divorced from Lamar yet.

One thing is for sure: Khloé certainly has a type, and that type is basketball person.

If you've ever been stuck in the middle seat on a plane next to someone who won't let you have the armrest, you'll understand this man's rage. Knowing that the armrest was his right, he decided to take it back with maximum force. But he he made sure to capture the rest hog's reaction on a hidden camera. The result is a golden nugget of video we can all enjoy.

Score one for all the middle-seaters out there. Revenge is sweet.

The song "We Will Rock You" off the 1977 Queen album News of the World is the easily recognizable rock anthem characterized by its iconic beat. Although the song is nearly 40-years-old, it is still a "pump up music" staple, made evident if you have ever attended a minor league sporting event.

Now you can hear "We Will Rock You" the song like you've never heard it before in this recently released version played at a much faster tempo.

In the '70s, BBC recorded six radio sessions with Queen, during one of which this alternate version of the hit song was created. It was never officially released until now, and will be on the upcoming 2-disc set Queen On Air: The Complete BBC Sessions.

If you're not a fan of the sped-up version, you can always rock out to the original. Makes me want to go to a baseball game.

On Sunday, October 23, a parade of (vengeful? empowered? amazing?) women in yoga pants will march past the house of one outspoken Rhode Island man.

This is the risk you take, angry men everywhere, when you write a letter to the editor called, "Please, women, put away the yoga pants."

"[O]n mature, adult women, there is something bizarre and disturbing about the appearance they make in public," reads one choice quote from Alan Sorrentio's outrageous screed against pants.

Sorrentino, who also takes shots at mini-skirts (my man, chill), waxes indignant on "the spector of someone coping poorly with their weight or advancing age" who nonetheless wears whatever she goddamn wants.

Sorrentino also calls the pants, as a rule, "stinky."

Are you baffled yet?

One reader responded, "I'm disappointed, saddened, and mostly scared that I live in a town where we allow a man to publicly body shame women."

A response to the borderline unreadable letter came in the form of a Facebook event called "Yoga Pants Parade," with the simple description:

From Hampden Meadows, down past our friend Alan's house on Knapton St.

Let's take a leisurely walk down Knapton Street wearing our most comfortable pair of yoga pants!

So far, 210 have said they will attend. Sorrentino will likely write a letter about it.

Today in "everything you love is being remade": It appears a Broadway musical version of one of the most beloved teen rom-coms of the early 2000s, 13 Going On 30, is officially in the works.

If you're unfamiliar with this truly stellar film, 13 Going On 30 stars Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo. The story centers around 13-year-old Jenna (Garner), who is desperate to be popular, transforming into her 30-year-old self with the help of some "wishing dust." As a grown-up, she has everything she's ever wanted. Well, everything except for her childhood best friend, Matt (Ruffalo). As Jenna learns more about adulthood and how she got where she is, she realizes there's more to life than popularity.

According to Deadline, the musical version is being brought to life by Broadway producers Andy Fickman, Dean Stolber, and Todd Garner in collaboration with Revolution Studios.

Fickman, who will also direct the show, says that 13 Going On 30 “has all the elements of a great musical: comedy, romance, an empowering message — and a touch of magic.”

I mean, I guess so. Look, I want to be 30, flirty, and thriving as much as the next girl, but 13 Going On 30 seems like something we should just leave as is. Though, you know what? That's what I said about one of my other favorite rom-coms of the early 2000s, Legally Blonde, and that musical turned out to be downright delightful. So who am I to say? I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

This hysterical video of outtakes from Ghostbusters does little to dispel rumors that Kate McKinnon is a comedy goddess sent from Heaven to brighten all of our lives. The SNL star often stole the screen during the movie that ruined some childhoods while making at least my adulthood a whole lot better. And this video is proof that she was hilarious off-screen as well.

Warning: swallow your Ecto-Cooler (or coffee if you're boring) before watching to prevent it from coming out of your nose.

Not only does she churn out jokes with seemingly zero effort, but McKinnon and her co-stars seem like they're having as much fun as you would imagine making this movie. My favorite part is around minute 2:44 when Leslie Jones keeps telling her "stop," or around 3:20 when you can tell Jones is trying really, really hard to keep a straight face. I WILL NOT REST UNTIL THESE TWO MAKE A BUDDY COMEDY. Are you listening, Hollywood?

It's not just you! If you were unable to tweet, order food or jump on watching the new Black Mirror episodes this morning, it's not your internet that was funky, but everyone's.

Dyn—a major company that manages Domain Name Systems for most of your favorite sites including Twitter, Reddit, Spotify and Netflix—was hit with a distributed denial-of-service attack, known as DDoS.

Once the internet was back up and running, people tweeted about the bleak hours without Twitter.

Stopped me dead in my tracks.

13. And finally, skinnymojo comes through with a great reason to do your own thing.

Fighting with your S.O. becomes significantly less fun once the weekend hits: You want to keep the cold shoulder and passive aggressive texts going to prove you're right (duh), but there's a part of you that wants to go on a date and try to enjoy each other's company again.

You had originally planned to try that new bar, but their cocktails have things like lavender and mint sprigs in them—and that's way too sophisticated for the current childish state of your relationship. So, what do you do?

1. Go to the movies

The movies are the easiest way to go out as a couple without having to communicate. However, since you are still kinda mad, don't see anything too romantic, too scary or too cute. This is not the time for animated, speaking animals! Think documentary. Recommendations: For the Love of Spock, Chicken People, Rats

2) Hit up an art museum

You're not trying to get away from your sweetie, you're just exploring the museum at a faster pace! Plus, as long as rent those headphones that give you a guided tour of the exhibits, you don't even have to talk to each other! If you're up for it, take a selfie together in front of some cool painting and heal your relationship with Instagram likes.

3) Perform at an open mic

Not quite ready to downward dog together at couples yoga? Try an open mic! Prepare your best two-minute set on why you're right and your partner is wrong and let the insults fly! It's called "art," okay?

4) Go to Ikea

If happy couples walk out of Ikea angry, then maybe slightly angry couples will walk out of Ikea renewed! Worst case scenario, you get with a new duvet and a frozen bag of meatballs.

5) Attend a community theater production

There’s no need to shell out the big bucks for the Broadway tour: the cheesier the better! The awkward dialogue, sloppy scene changes and failed dreams will have you two smiling at each other again in no time.

6) Go bowling

Bowling provides the right amount of together time while also providing the right amount of time to talk shit on the other person behind their back: "Go get 'em ... you gutter-rolling LIAR!"

7) Invite both your parents over for dinner

You've been putting it off, so why not get it over with when you're both in fragile states? You'll be too busy to fight as you spend all day cooking and cleaning the apartment. When your parents arrive, they'll be too busy insulting all your life choices to pick up on the tension!

8) Get certified in CPR

We could all use a refresher course! Give the dummy tongue to really piss each other off.

9) Explore the relationship section of Barnes & Noble

Enough with your problems. Read about other peoples' problems!

10) Dinner . . . at a salad buffet

The two of you have have either not been eating or eating crappy for the past few days. Fiber up. Get your greens. This dinner isn't about romance. It's about survival.

A Wisconsin resident named Chelsea Ferguson smeared peanut butter on 30 cars she thought belonged to Trump supporters as a dumb form of protest against the Republican nominee, according toThe Huffington Post.

Ferguson, who was intoxicated at the time of the incident, apparently mistook parked cars belonging to the members of the Tomorrow River Conservation Club as cars belonging to Trump supporters at a Trump rally. How she mixed those two things up, nobody knows.

According to the police report, Ferguson entered the Conservation Club meeting yelling about her dislike for Trump. When club members requested she leave before they call law enforcement, and she complied with their requests. That is when she headed to her car and grabbed a family-size jar of low-sodium creamy natural Jif peanut butter and began drawing offensive symbols on the parked vehicles. Soon after, a witness called the cops.

If only we had a recording of that 911 call.

When police eventually found Ferguson, she hiding in her apartment. She told officers she chose peanut butter as her weapon of choice because "Peanut butter is better than fire-bombing" and that Donald Trump wants to fire-bomb other countries. Police also reported that she was licking her fingers as she spoke.

Officers took the Jif jar found in Ferguson’s apartment as evidence. Ferguson is now free on bail.

Tumblr user normalgiraffes is delighting the internet with a story of a weird golden retriever who is so dumb, he's kind of brilliant. Although published six months ago, the story was contained within the Tumblr world until recently. But now it's exploding all over the web. Once you read it, you'll understand why.

We trained the dog so that when he wants out, he goes to the front door and waits.

Somehow in his little golden retriever brain, he interpreted this to mean “go to the front door, and lick it.”

If he’s at the door, but isn’t licking it, he doesn’t need out, he’s just chilling.

So, this was our routine - when he wants out, he goes to the front door, and licks it. And then we moved house, and he got very, very confused.

He knew he had to go to the front door when he wants out, but this was a new house with obviously a door that was completely new to him.

Despite our condo having only one door that leads outside, and him going out this very same door literally at least five times a day, every day, for about a year…he still has no idea where the front door is in this house. Absolutely no idea at all.

Now whenever he needs out, he will go to any random door and start licking it. And I mean any door - the bathroom door, my bedroom door, my closet, the goddamn door of a kitchen cabinet, even.

I don’t know if he’s really smart or really dumb. Because clearly, he understands conceptually what a door is. I don’t know if he thinks my closet or the kitchen cabinets lead to outside, or if he’s just hoping to find doggy Narnia, or if he’s just hopelessly given up on ever being able to find the door by himself and is just doing the best he can, but every goddamn time he wants out, he’s right there licking the glass door to the shower or something.

He doesn’t alert us he needs out any other way. So if you haven’t seen him in a while, you have to search room by room until you find him with his tongue pressed up against the linen closet because he thinks outside might be that way.

He’s the biggest, dumbest dog I have ever met in my life and I could not love him any more. He’s perfect.

Normalgiraffes added a photo update as proof, writing: "Here he is, patiently licking the door of my wardrobe. "

The weirdness of dogs makes life worth living.

On the heels of dropping a new album, Lady Gaga may have also just dropped a new beef with Madonna. Gaga got super prickly in a new interview with Beats 1 after she was asked about being compared to the Queen of Pop. Most people might welcome a comparison to Madonna. Lady Gaga is not most people.

“Madonna and I are very different, I wouldn’t make that comparison at all," she said. "I don’t mean to disrespect Madonna. She’s a nice lady and she’s had a fantastic huge career. She’s the biggest pop star of all time, but I play a lot of instruments."

OUCH. "She's a nice lady," is how I describe someone I hate. And "I play a lot of instruments," sounds like Gaga is suggesting she's more talented than Madonna.

And it really does seem like that's what she meant. "I write all my own music," the pop star continued. "I spend hours and hours a day in the studio. I’m a producer, I’m a writer. What I do is different. I’m not just rehearsing over and over again to put on a show.”

Oh, and there's more! Gaga continued:

There’s a spontaneity in my work. I allow myself to fail. I allow myself to break. I’m not afraid of my flaws. There are major differences between me and her. I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way. I just will not be compared to anyone anymore. I am who the fuck I am and this is me. My life story is my life story.

To be fair it sounds like the singer (and player of multiple instruments) is mostly frustrated at being compared to a pop predecessor when she wants to be her own person, which is valid. But whatever her intentions, this comes off as way harsh, Tai.

You can watch the whole interview here and be prepared to get a little squirmy around minute 31 when the shit-talking begins.

In Gaga's defense, a little competitive energy among two musical behemoths is healthy and natural. Powerful women are often expected to be BFF with each other or else everyone shrieks "catfight!"

That being said, a beef between these two could tear the internet apart. *Puts popcorn in the microwave just in case*

Happy Friday! The Internet is all abuzz over Trump's rocky Al Smith Dinner speech, plus a massive hack that took down Twitter (and other sites) for hours today, Black Mirror, and more. These are the 28 funniest tweets of October 21st, 2016,
