In February, Matthew Gruenke, a young man from Wisconsin, filmed himself eating breakfast with two friends at a Wendy's fast-food restaurant. The ten-second video is mostly unremarkable; Gruenke points his phone's camera at the food and then his two friends, both of whom are caught off-guard by his filming, before turning the camera on himself.

Back in November, Mike Gold, a powerlifter from New York, filmed himself attempting a set of squats at his gym in preparation for a meet. According to his account, he failed to correctly "screw on" one competition collar on his barbell while getting ready to squat. In turn, while walking out with the barbell resting on his shoulders, one collar soon slid off, and along with it, roughly 60kg in plates.
