Distract yourself from the mind-crushing anxiety of election day with some sick highlights

Like the super-dense center of a black hole, void of light and time, today is the day this nightmarish vacuum of an election season has been racing towards. All the insane tweets, scandals, and eruptions of caustic racism and misogyny have come to this: soon, we’ll know who will be the next president of the United States of America. Yikes!

If you’ve already voted, there’s nothing you can do now but wait. So why not take your mind off the possibility of doom and ruin for our country by watching some radical plays? Here are some of our favorites.

Faker kills Scarra’s entire team on stream

CS:GO player switches to Overwatch

Nightmare2450 comes back without a visible health bar

When the dribbling breaks your axles

This piece of absolute bullshit right here

Universe dunking on absolutely everybody

Now everyone take a deep breath.
