Middle Aged Man has an Egg-dentity Crisis During Quarantine

The video description is “We as a species, are losing our minds.” This short video opens to four eggs in cups, with the audio “I Want To Break Free” by Queen. When the line “I want to break free” plays, a man pops his head up to sing along, revealing that there were only three eggs in cups, and the fourth egg was actually the man's bald head. I feel this video in my soul, it resonates with me so deeply. It shows the fragility of the human mind and the tendency of our species to use human as a coping mechanism when facing down trauma.
