Plz, Why Does Every Dad Do These 32 Things — It's Freaking Me Out

    Dads love an ellipses.

    Two months into the pandemic, I saw a video that made me laugh uncontrollably, and think to myself...Do we all have the same dad? It was this TikTok of a dad shaking some cashews in his hand before popping them into his mouth — a classic move by my own father:

    After revisiting this video, I went down a rabbit hole to see what other common denominators our dads share. Here are 31 other things that every father is definitely guilty of:

    1. The stare:
