Google search string: nobody's done anything dumb so far today, right?
A seemingly endless list of videos and ads pop up in my face with any combination of those words in them...

Nothing uniquely foolish has dominated the headlines today, though people are certainly navigating a chaotic and sweltering Fourth of July.
As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, the real trouble today stems from extreme weather rather than human error.
The Major Disruptions Today
While nobody has made a massive, viral blunder today, a mix of Mother Nature and high tensions are shaping the historic holiday:
Dangerous Heatwaves: Over 150 million people are under extreme heat alerts, prompting officials to cancel or significantly alter several parade routes and outdoor events across the East Coast.
National Mall Evacuation: Severe incoming thunderstorms and lightning forced a sudden evacuation alert at the National Mall, temporarily delaying the high-profile "Salute to America" events.
Vandalism Charges: On a less fortunate note, reports emerged earlier today of vandalism around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, leading to active charges being filed against those involved.
Barring the usual sparkler mishaps and traffic jams, the public is mostly just trying to stay cool and safe from the storms.
Wouldn't that be a nice 250th Birthday Surprise?
If you discount the ongoing reflecting pool cultist incidents that we've all been ignoring for weeks now, everybody else could find it within them to just chill the fuck out and be normal for one goddamned day?
Happy Birthday, 'Merica!

Congratulations, America. I didn't think you had it in you.
It looks like nobody blew up shit last night. I still don't believe it.
