My random tales:

One night, playing bunch of Halo, I got an Xbox 360 voice message. “Message to all recent players. Fukushima nuclear power plant just exploded. You should stock up on iodine tablets.” (I almost sent back a message saying “thanks for your concern, but I’m in the Chernobyl fallout zone and I turned out just fine thank you”)

Pluto photographs from New Horizons? Frigging NASA retweet. (Edit: Actually I think it was a retweet of someone making a Disney meme about Pluto the Dog)

Most recently, I got a random Discord message from a British YouTuber I follow saying “the Queen just died, please be respectful and stuff”.

    I learned that justin timberlake got arrested from a steam notification that said “Justin Timberlake (DUI enjoyer) is now playing Team Fortress 2”

      Oh man this gave me flashbacks of some of the hilarious server wide messages people spent $100 on.
