        'The Pitt' Star Opens Up About Being Told She's A 'Terrible Singer'—And Alanis Morissette Weighed In With The Perfect Tweet
    
A day rarely goes by when people who work at a job that they don't exactly love wish they could be doing or going absolutely anywhere else.
Though some might have slightly more specific daydreams.
Maybe jet setting off to the Caribbean, enjoying a long, deep tissue massage, or seeing friends and family they haven't seen in years, and giving them a big ole hug.
While others just dream of finally achieving or obtaining something that's always been missing in their life, and would thus improve the mundane lives they're living.
Redditor Brutal_Rain was curious to hear what the Reddit community desperately wanted immediately, more than anything, leading them to ask:
"What do you desperately want right now?"
Vacation!!!
"Two weeks off work without having to come back to a trainwreck."- GnowledgedGnome
One last outing..."One last holiday with Julian one of my closest friends." 
"Passed back in September."

Very few people make it through a day completely content, and not wishing they could have or do something, far fetched or easily attained.
And even though not all of these wishes are possible, sometimes holding on to that wish is all it takes to make a day go by more easily.

        A 'Fake Egg' Prank Targeting Kids Is Trending On TikTok—But Not Everyone Thinks It's Funny
    
McKenzie Lynn Tozan
Apr 23, 2026
In a recent TikTok trend, people are presenting young children with "fake eggs" and crushing the egg in their hands to show that the eggs are fake. 
In order for this trend to work, the person has to poke a hole into each end of the egg to drain it of its yolk and let the shell dry, so it becomes more brittle and easy to crush, making the prank more believable.

Apr 23, 2026
It's really hard to watch while someone is clearly not being treated well enough by their partner, and instead of accepting the reality check for what it is, they spend their time digging their heels in deeper and defending their partner's honor. 
That was certainly true for TikToker Nicole Vawter, or @nicmarievee, anyway, when fellow TikTokers called her partner out on selfishly booking himself a first class seat while his long-time girlfriend sat back in economy.

You know what they say: if a person has to point out how nice they are, they probably aren't really all that nice.
Actions tend to speak louder than words, with an affinity for niceness and kindness being among the best examples. When a person is truly nice and kind, it will come through in their daily attitude and actions without them having to say anything at all.
