1. No point screaming

A Japanese amusement park has announced that it will open its gates again, but the visitors can ride the roller coaster on one condition: no screaming.

Because screaming can spread the coronavirus in a significant way.

On a more helpful note, the park has added that if the visitors have to, they could scream inside their hearts.

On an even more helpful note, the park has released a video that shows two absolutely stony-faced masked park employees taking the roller coaster ride without a muscle twitching in their faces. Which is a very sinister sight and should keep the children away anyway.

But yes, no point screaming. Virus aside, screaming does not compel your partner to help you with more housework or your child to get off the Internet. But remember not to do their share of work.

Here are a few more things no point doing.

2. No point screaming at the Wi-Fi It will not speed up.
