    Its weird how some subreddits die, and then some subreddits suddenly come back to life litterally overnight. r/olderthanyouthinkiam is a subreddit that would have maybe 1 post a week, than about 2 months ago it exploded in popularity. Been subscribed to that for years.

    r/dogberg was my favorite subreddit and then they changed the rules so you didn't have to have a WWE-style title. Took all the fun out of it. Now I never see it on my feed

    Dad saves the day and kid is like, “I don’t really like popcorn, can we get nachos?”

    Total dad move. He's waited his whole life to pull that move. Will ride the coat tails of this story for weeks so I meant years

    Save the kid. Save the beer. Everyone wins.

    He did neither. Don't think that ball would've hit the kid and knocked his own beer out of his hand in the process.

    The guy next to him looking like he’s blocking the ball the whole time and still manages to avoid the dad’s drink coming at him.

    Did you save your kid? Yes! What did it cost? Half my beer!

    Dad may very well have the reflexes needed , but that was a deflection at best. Still earns a dad reward though.

    Spilled beer. Fail.

    Let the kid take the hit.
