>march madness bracket busted first

Can someone explain what this means? I know the individual words, but I don't get what their combination is supposed to mean

March madness is a reference to the playoff games in college basketball in the US. The playoffs are in March and people get crazy about it, hence the term. The bracket is the system of playoffs. With these types of tournaments people fill out who they think they will win (and make bets). This person’s bracket was the first to turn out wrong (“busted”) resulting in them losing some kind of bet.

In simplest terms possible - He and his friends made predictions on how the college basketball tournament in the US would go. His turned out to be wrong first out of his friend group as the tournament went on. So they probably agreed beforehand the first one who was wrong would have to display hentai on their phone.

"March Madness Brackets" is a dumb sports game where every idiot on the planet decides for themselves who they think will beat who in the college basketball playoffs. The whole field of 32 (64?) down to the very last game between the 2 teams who didn't lose once. You build your own "bracket" showing who you think will win, and your bracket is "busted" when you have no way of seeing any team you chose move forward to the finals. It's particularly "interesting" this year since apparently a bunch of low seed literally-who tier teams keep winning against big names.

Misread this as "some rando who dislikes shorts" and kinda went "weird reason to know about/dislike college basketball, but sure" 😂😂

I do find the American obsession with college and high school sports a bit odd, though. But I also have a big thing for flat track roller derby.

I'm all for everyone having a hobby, but the entire idea of a Calendar of Sport like they have in America that means there's never not some fucking event you're not paying enough attention to at any given time of the year exhausts me.

My guess is it's something to do with how older folks seem to just give less of a shit about what people think as they get older 😂

That said, one of my dad's slightly older friends (who was 70 at the time, ten years ago, when my dad was about 60) once brought his laptop over asking if I could help him save it because he had a virus that wouldn't let him log in. Turned out to be just a basic ransomware virus, solved by logging in on safe mode and downloading malware bytes. It's going through his files, and as he asks "it doesn't bring up my history, does it?" (Or something similar to that) I glance at the screen and it's currently showing the cookies for a bunch of porn sites... I just said "nope" and stared out the window trying not to see the various site names flashing on the screen while it checked all the items on his computer. 😂😅
