Helldivers 2 fans are hilariously rallying behind Waffle House as the ultimate symbol of resilience as Illuminate invade the Super Earth. A viral fake tweet and a flood of Reddit jokes praise the diner chain's legendary staff as tougher than any Helldiver. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Weak-invasion-say-Helldivers-2-players-as-Waffle-House-remains-open-during-Illuminate-attack.1022273.0.html
This is one of those posts that while amusing, would probably be a lot funnier if the reader had any clue as to what it was about. Maybe lead with a wee bit of explanation and set up?
For example, for non-gamers a "super Earth" is an Earth-like planet between 1.5 and 2 times the size of Earth. Not sure why they'd have Waffle Houses. Needless to say, very confusing.
Also Waffle Houses are a US-only chain (afaik), so most of the world wouldn't know of it, or only by reputation.

This. Also why is this even a news of any kind, that's the main question here...
