The 1st “challenge” of 2019 is here, and I’m already over it. I’m over challenges altogether. But this one got a hilarious warning from Netflix. So that’s cool, I guess. People are apparently hurting themselves doing “The Bird Box Challenge” by attempting to complete courses or activities blindfolded. A flood of cringeworthy videos have hit the internet the last few days that resulted in the tweet below.

Can’t believe I have to say this, but: PLEASE DO NOT HURT YOURSELVES WITH THIS BIRD BOX CHALLENGE. We don’t know how this started, and we appreciate the love, but Boy and Girl have just one wish for 2019 and it is that you not end up in the hospital due to memes.
