    We all know Jimmy Kimmel googles ‘is Matt Damon Dead?’ Every morning when he wakes up.

    With that style of thinking, we are all related.

    • Brendan Beckett

      January 27, 2023 at 5:02 pm

      The vast majority of people are not anywhere close to that closely related.

    • Brendan Beckett

      January 27, 2023 at 5:02 pm

      The vast majority of people are not anywhere near that closely related.

    • Ziggy Bupkiss

      and that’s why we all choose sides during world wars!

    • Dibs Dibs

      They’re probably like 10th cousins

    • D

      January 30, 2023 at 7:38 am

      ​@Brendan Beckett Yean they are ????????‍♂️ past 7th cousin you’re pretty much pot luck relayed to anyone

    • Cinema Atrium

      January 30, 2023 at 9:04 pm

      ​​@Brendan Beckettactually its possible that you are related to matt daemon to. We all have 4 grandparents but 16 greatgreatgrandparents. So if we go back until 1625 with people having kids at 25 ….it means in 1625 you were the offspring of 65536 people that were alive at the same time in 1625. I mean 65536 people does not seem like a lot of people to be related to just at that time not even counting all generations after that. But the world population was pretty low due to the black death. So guess the probability of you, beeing related to matt is probably 1:20. (If you are caucasian)

    • Brendan Beckett

      January 30, 2023 at 9:08 pm

      @Cinema Atrium Of course it is, but not likely — hence why it’s not as common as people are suggesting.

    • Cinema Atrium

      January 30, 2023 at 9:41 pm

      @Brendan Beckett a chance of one in twenty is about as likely as people make it seem.

    How tf did they know what someone’s job was in the 1600s ???????? I call BS

    • Blobfishyyyyy

      January 27, 2023 at 8:26 pm

      Maybe there were some records of the man? Idk tho

    • Lya H

      January 27, 2023 at 8:30 pm

      That wasn’t bs. That was humor.

    • Jess T

      January 27, 2023 at 9:20 pm

      Some of the parish records in the UK have a profession listed against the marriage record so it’s possible (assuming the ancestor was English)

    • Rat Dragon

      January 28, 2023 at 1:51 pm

      How do they know humans existed in the 1600’s? Because we have records…

    • Government Agent #762????️

      February 1, 2023 at 8:10 pm

      This is a really stupid comment.
      A lot of those ancestor DNA tests, and stuff keep records of people’s ancestors dating back hundreds of years.
      That is as long as they can find them. So yes it is common.

    This is funny!

  21. Sociopath Mercenary

    Should Matt Damon stop getting paid for movies where he uses firearms… Or stop making anti-gun statements?

    Love ya, man. Just make more movies, dude.

This new way of treating depression starts with rewiring the brain #TEDTalks

The idea that depression comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain has shaped treatment for decades. Neuroscientist Lisa Monteggia shares research suggesting that’s not the whole story — and shows how a decades-old drug could upend what we thought we knew about depression, with the potential to offer relief within hours.
