Social media is bursting with creative challenges to keep everyone entertained during quarantine. The most popular are centered around dancing (like the #SavageChallenge), while others involve dressing up (like the #DontRushChallenge) or re-creating great works of art (like the #GettyMuseChallenge).
With so many challenges on the Internet, there are inevitably some that are either too hard or just not fun enough to get their fifteen seconds of fame. Here are a few challenges that were too complicated to go viral.
“Put on Jeans” Challenge
Sorry, Levi’s, we’re never wearing jeans again. We’ve progressed to a highly developed sweatpants culture.

We know what’s in the tissue, but, so far, in the battle of us versus the temptation, the temptation is undefeated.
