I really wouldn’t want my mukbang fetish to cross over into my worklife.
Does anyone not like corgis?

Never.
Aside from a job interview, I've never even used Zoom. We use MS Teams.
And hell no to hanging out with people in online lunches. As if I want to see 10 or 20 boxes of people's faces eating. Or those people who log into a conference chat, never put on video, and you don't even know if they guy is even there.
Once it's time for lunch, see ya later. I'll be back online at 1 pm.

Having lunch with colleagues is a great way to socialize, and I do notice the decrease in human interaction due to remote working. I wouldn't do "remote lunch" through video conference though, since the lunch part is more an excuse than a part of the process (you don't really need/want to see people chewing their food, you just take that opportunity to chit-chat about non-work related topics).
We did have "remote coffee breaks" sessions on Teams during the first lockdown last Spring, those were ok, especially for the fans of gossip.

Get drunk and be sick in a flower pot, start a fight then get off with one of the bridesmaids.My boss has invited me to his Zoom wedding reception. I kid you not.

Hard Pass. I see no benefit of "hanging out" virtually as a group. Especially with co-workers where what you say or have in your home office can get you canceled. But it is very telling who NEEDS these meet ups during the pandemic. Lots of people who are not able to function as an independent adult.

I had a videocall with a colleague once and she was wearing a crop top like this,
Except the webcam was tilted up at just a high enough angle that she looked like she was topless. She was a big ginger landwhale so not hot. But as I knew she was an alcoholic and prone to home drinking I had to ask "Um sorry, are you topless?" because she could well have been. Fortunately she tilted the webcam down to save my eyes.

Yeah, no lunches, but definitely some after hours drinking and shooting the shit sessions. I actually like most of my coworkers.

There’s a Friday quiz for our company, anyone is welcome (circa 300 employees) I’ve never bothered. When we’ve been in the office nobody has stopped work for an hour to attend a shitty quiz in one of the boardrooms so I don’t see why we need to do it now we’re working from home.
People have an hour spare to fuck about obviously don’t have enough work to do.

I haven't video called once. Not even during the pandemic.
Maybe it is a social anxiety thing, but the whole idea of it is so daunting to me. I think I'd want to leave 5 minutes in.
Perhaps I'm just paranoid after watching Unfriended.

It's actually pretty shit for work, I always feel you have to look like your paying attention more than if you are just sitting around a boardroom table. It's not just you.
