10 Modern Passover Plagues for the 21st Century

The 10 Plagues of Egypt are central to the Passover story — but what would they look like in the 21st century? Here's our modern take:

1. Blood — The price of avocado toast.
2. Frogs — Spam emails from your favorite store.
3. Lice — The group chat that won't stop pinging.
4. Wild Beasts — The neighbor's dog at 6 AM.
5. Pestilence — Buffering on your show right before the climax.
6. Boils — Your phone battery hitting 1% during navigation.
7. Hail — Surprise Amazon charges you forgot you signed up for.
8. Locusts — Endless meeting invites that could have been an email.
9. Darkness — The Wi-Fi going out during the seder.
10. Slaying of the First-Born Subscription — Realizing you've been paying for a streaming service you forgot existed.

Add this list to your Seder for a chuckle. The actual 10 Plagues are pretty dramatic on their own — but everyone can relate to a modern plague.
