The first wave of stimulus checks from the government are already starting to hit bank people’s accounts across the country. I know this because pretty much every person in my life texted to ask if I’d got mine yet as if the $1,200 was somehow going to change everything in life right now. If you haven’t received your stimulus check and are waiting on one then these are the steps you can take to ensure that happens.

Meanwhile, the people who checked their accounts to find that $1,200 in there are already wildin’ out based on an article in the Post which tracked people’s purchases on Twitter. $1,200 is a sizable amount of money. Most people are going to spend it on bills but some people are fortunate enough to be able to use that extra cash on things like costumes, sex toys, stripper poles, and more.

Here are some of the more outrageous things people are buying.

Only the essentials.

Imagine getting $1,200 free cash and giving that money to Kanye fucking West.

I’m down if you are.

I’m angry that I now know this exists.

The coat’s legit though.

It’s true because it’s on the Internet.

Spending money on Cameo is always a good decision.

Someone who isn’t lying, finally.

Meanwhile, everyone else in America…

Someone needs to spend all $1,200 on McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets and live stream them eating the entire haul. Vomit by vomit. Until every nugget is gone. I’d even throw in some $ to make that happen.
