Watch Netflix Together, but Separately
SYNC OR SWIM

Watch Netflix Together, but Separately

1) You’ll download the Chrome extension. Have a friend or two do the same.
2) Open a show on Netflix and click the glasses icon.
3) Proceed to stream the exact same show at the exact same time. It’s not a screen-share situation, so there’s no lag. If you pause, they pause. If you laugh, they might laugh. If... well, you get the point. It’s a very 2015 sort of movie date.

STONE-COLD

Just Add Bourbon.

At first glance, it’s water. Upon subsequent glances, it’s limestone-filtered water from Kentucky, and it’s meant for your bourbon. Sure, you could laugh. Or you could try adding it to your bourbon. Or add it to an ice tray, and then add those to your bourbon. Point is: bourbon.
