Guessing game with workplace messages from @wonderkindco

The creator presents a game to her colleagues called "Hinge or Slack," where they must guess the origin of various overly affectionate and enthusiastic messages. She displays several quotes on a TV screen, and after each one, her colleagues guess, consistently choosing "Slack." The humor builds as every single example, no matter how romantic or intense it sounds, is revealed to be a real message from their work's Slack channel, highlighting the unique and loving communication style of their all-female company.
