This Online Group Is Dedicated To Times When Someone Or Something Reached ‘Boss’ Level (50 Pics)
Real-life is closer to video games than you might've thought. After all, there's no denying that this wild world is packed with not only absolute units but bosses who are just waiting for a worthy opponent.
By bosses, we mean folks, animals, and even things that seem like they have maxed out certain skills like strength or cunningness. And if you want to meet them, look no further than the subreddit r/BossFight.
Its 1.1 million members are constantly sharing pictures of what they think would make challenging fighters, and they're coming up with really creative names for them, too. Here are a few of the best ones!

Balto, The Anti-Vaxx Destroyer
Of course what Balto was carrying was antitoxins and not vaccines. Vaccines are great, no reason to spread misinformation
When I was younger, I was OBSESSED with Balto. I had books about him and even a stuffed animal of him. When I watched the movie Togo, I was so sad.

Balso only did the last leg. Look up Togo and watch the excellent film on the amazing doggo.
I feel very strongly about this. I was watching the (admittedly so-so) movie with my daughter and she says "I'm bored" and I reply "Balto was a goddamned hero!" It's a point of contention, I admit.
Balto, his team, and musher Gunnar Kaasen did the final 55 miles, but Togo, along with his team and his handler Leonhard Seppala, did the longest dog leg through severe storms. I think they should also get some appreciation. (Seppala owned both Togo and Balto, and Kaasen was a friend of Seppala's.)
I used to ride my bicycle past Balto's statue all the time in NYC in Central Park.
If you liked Balto, should see Togo (2019) starring Willem Dafoe, about the lead dog and his team who carried the diphtheria serum nearly 300 miles.

We adopted OUR Balto from the Northern Nevada SPCA 3 years ago and he's a husky 🤗 My son would play around with dog names, naming his first puppy BUSTER because that's what his bicycle was called for some reason, it worked out SPLENDIDLY because "our" SF Giants drafted a very young Buster Posey, my son's favorite catcher (OBVIOUSLY) but as soon as he saw Balto with his GORGEOUS ICE BLUE 💙 EYES, knowing the story behind the world famous BALTO, he decided right then and there this would be his doggo's lifetime name and YES! HE LIVES UP TO THE NAME! 🤗💙
No he didn't it was actually Togo who did the lion share of the trek and was an old boy when he did it .
Balto and the other sled dogs took diptheria anti-toxin, AKA medicine, to children who were ALREADY sick!!!! It had NOTHING to do with vaccines. The diptheria vaccine was developed in the early 1920s, but was not widely used until 1930s. Note: I am not an anti-vaxxer, just a historian who likes to get the facts correct
This is like Paul Revere getting all the credit when in fact 16 yo Sybil Ludington covered 2X the distance, and no one knows who she was.
Notice most of the anti-vaxxers are too young to remember what it was like before vaccines for diseases like polio?
Being vaccinated is a personal choice. Stop putting pressure on people please!
Balto didn't bring any vaccines to any kids. He brought diphtheria anti-toxins. Vaccines are useless for people who are already sick.
Uncle Stan: The Founding Colossus
The gap between real life and video games has been steadily closing for decades. However, the prospect of a fully immersive experience remains just that. A promise. Even virtual reality is slow to fulfill it.
As Polygon's Ben Kuchera put it: "VR has been five minutes away from some kind of breakthrough for about eight years."
VR is still a niche category when compared to the rest of the gaming industry (it accounted for less than half a percent of all gaming sales in 2020). Despite its buzzy status, the technology continues to make consumers wait for its next big development.

"We need to restore public confidence in the police...let's use a photo of a cute yet heroic dog"
"Right now, we're sort of in this trough of disillusionment about VR," Kevin Mack, a VR game developer, told Built In a year ago. "There was a lot of hype around it in 2015 and 2016, and then the whole world sort of got butt-hurt that their first-generation VR headset didn't instantly morph into the Holodeck."
But even though VR hasn't yet lived up to the hype surrounding it, tech companies like Facebook, Valve, and Sony keep trying to advance the industry, investing considerable resources to develop both hardware and software.

The Virtuous Sextuplets, Defenders Of Maiden Honor
George The Gigachad, Pleaser Of Women
Mitu Khandaker, a professor at New York University's Game Center, remains hopeful about VR's role in gaming. She doesn't think it's going to look like people alone in their homes playing through a headset, so much as a co-located experience that multiple people share.
"I think that the future of VR is more through social VR," she explained.
Indeed, several popular VR games — such as Rec Room and VRChat — offer social experiences where users can interact and hang out with each other in real time.
We might not be able to fight these real-life bosses, but who knows, maybe we'll get a chance to battle some virtually real ones pretty soon.

In 100 years there'll be a post on Bored Panda about "What people in the 2020's were like"...I wonder what will they think of our sense of humor? :-)
"Wow, Covid was way harder on them than we thought!"
