It's not as strong here on this side of the Mason-Dixon Line, but Lt. Gov. Fetterman preaches the Sheetz Gospel.Around here, at least, the devotion to Sheets/Wawa is nothing like Bucees. Bucees is practically religion.
Buc-ee's, the convenience-store chain with a cult following and 'world-famous' bathrooms, is growing outside of Texas for the first time. Here's what its stores are like to visit.
Buc-ee's is a convenience chain with a following in Texas. It's a pit stop with "world famous" bathrooms, branded T-shirts, and freshly made fudge.www.businessinsider.com
The Internet will never satisfy its lust for bizarre and weird things.

I can't bring myself to find out if this is real. It probably is and the stupidity is just too painful.

That thing scared the crap out of me.
It’s been on here before, but every now and then someone will... point it out again.

Wow. I would have lasted longer, but @Eriol gave up at the 2 minute mark. (Take that sentence however you wish.) It's both horrifying and... oddly intriguing?
I made it through the whole thing, but I agree that it was too repetitive. And not in a "we made it repetitive because we knew that would make it even more annoying" kind of way, but more like "we made it repetitive because we were running out of new ways to annoy you so we just repeated some of the previous ones."
It's a shame, too, because there are some joyously abhorrent moments in there.

WTF Netflix?
Sexy Beasts, a dating show where people go on first dates while wearing elaborate makeup.
Is this appropriating Furry culture?

Every creator eventually finds a way to incorporate their fetish(es) into their work.

Every contestant is like "Joke's on you, I'm into this shit"
Also, this was already done back in the 2000's. It was called Mr Personality, a bachelorette style show where all the male suitors wore masks. And in the most early 2000's way possible, it was hosted by Monica Lewinsky.
Silly early '00s show... you forgot to put the handles on the masks...
DOOM WILL HAVE HIS DATING SHOW!! TAKE THAT, RICHARDS!!!!

There's a Transformers cross-over I never wanted.
Oh, SSSniperwolf.
I know you've made a name for yourself on YouTube and suchlike, and post lots of new content all the time, but d'ya think you could've maybe given just a little more thought about the thumbnail pic for this video?

Do I dare find out what's going on at build-a-bear?
I'm not sure I want to click that link...

The over-18 thing is kind of weird. I went there, for you, for science. I didn't see anything remotely "adult" oriented.

It seems to be a section of the site for licensed properties that aren't necessarily appropriate for all ages. Most of it is like 13+ (Lord of the Rings, Marvel, Doctor Who, The Mandalorian, etc.)
The most "adult" stuff that I could find was the Gifts section. Which included a rabbit drinking champagne in a shirt that says "Bring on the Bubbly", and various animals in Love Wins pride shirts. Also an animal in a "Don't Text Your Ex" shirt.
I think this is a mix of them making sure they keep as kid friendly an image as possible, by putting anything but a G rating behind a pop-up, while also being a bit cheeky and trying to get internet clicks by being faux scandalous.
This would make sense, since you're considered an Internet adult once you turn 13 years of age.

Fun fact: I used to have all 4 original Weenie Babies that precipitated the Ty lawsuit, because they looked just like beanie babies (including the shape of the tag attached to the dolls).
