This 16-year-old South Pole explorer perfectly trolled her trolls
When internet trolls told Jade Hameister to "make me a sandwich," she did just that. Bullies bombarded the 16-year-old Australian explorer with the sexist suggestion in 2016 after she gave a TEDx talk about how she had skied to the North Pole. Revenge is a dish best served cold, so Hameister celebrated the end of her recent expedition to the South Pole — when she became the youngest person to ski to both poles — by posing for a photo with her lunch: ham and cheese between two slices of bread. "I made you a sandwich," Hameister captioned the picture. "Now ski 37 days and 600 km to the South Pole and you can eat it." Christina Colizza
