Guy Turns Piece Of Tree Into Coffee Mug


This guy manages to turn pieces of trees into everyday objects. In this case, we get to watch a piece of a tree be transformed into a coffee mug. Pretty cool.

Interviewer Asks People If Steven Spielberg Actually Hurt Dinosaurs


Throwback to the time that this interviewer went around, and asked people if the picture of Steven Spielberg with a prop dinosaur was in fact a real thing, and if he hurt it? The answers are sobering. People's confusion over the question is confusing in itself. Like, how? How do you think that Steven Spielberg is out here actually hurting dinosaurs? What timeline are you living in? Maybe not this one.

Gaping Plot Holes In Movies People Can't Get Over


When the flow of logic in a film is disrupted in such a way that it takes the viewer of the film out of the experience, and into a mental roadblock, it's a bummer. Some plot holes are just too big for people to look past, and ultimately be able to enjoy the film. Consistency can go a long way in immersing the audience in the storyline, as it was meant to be experienced. Another plot hole covered recently, was that plot hole we can often see in zombie apocalypse movies/shows. Tumblr did it justice.

Text - Exarion300 • 11h Definitely the Ant Man movies. The guy still weighs 200 Ibs when he shrinks and they acknowledge that the first time he uses the suit launching out of a tub and cracking a floor tile. Then no more than 10 seconds later he breaks through drywall because he's so small and heavy but then lands on a record player like he weighs nothing. To add a few more examples, a shrunken tank on a keychain and shrinking down a building in the second movie and just wheeling it around? I've

She would have needed a van to transport the amount of clothing she se

Text - Phazlerde • 14h Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd. How about a literal hole? There is the chair that mechanically dumps the bodies of his victims down a shaft into the basement. The trouble is... there is an exterior shot of Mrs. Lovett's Pie Shop where you can clearly see that the chair on the second floor is directly above the open room of the bakery. No hole or shaft is possible from this view. Drives me up the wall for an otherwise great flic. (Generally not a fan of musicals)

Text - kyleinmaryland • 14h 1 Award There is a scene in The Notebook where a sign can be seen in a store window in Seabrook. The sign reads "3 peaches for one dollar!" Now, I want to know one goddam thing. What fucking peaches cost 33¢ a piece in 1940 South Carolina, nearly the epicenter of peach production. Peaches made of gold? 3 peaches for a dollar in that time and place is highway robbery. Fuck that.

Text - Anon905SMB • 15h In "The Day after Tomorrow" they leave their building to go get a guy's brother from boarding school. Brother is NEVER mentioned again and the movie ends with NO idea if the brother is dead or alive. HUGE plot hole that could have been cleared up by adding or subtracting a sentence or two.

Text - TransgenderWhiteMage · 9h It's not really a plot hole exactly but in Harry Potter there are those Love Potions which are basically magical date rape drugs and it's really not brought up how fucked up that is and is even made out as a joke. Like, Fred and George SELL them at their store even though their little brother gets fricken roofied later and this is just never addressed, they even joked about selling it I think to either Ginny or Hermione (I forget which) and I'm just?!

Text - KicksButtson • 12h In The Butterfly Effect he goes back in time to elementary school to stab his hands so he could show the stigmata to his cell mate, thus convincing him to defend him from the other prisoners. Except if he had created the stigmata scars as a kid then he'd have them his whole life, and it wouldn't be a miracle from the perspective of his cell mate. Otherwise that film is pretty damn good.

When Megatron awakens he, without moving his head or view from straight ahead, declares that he is Megatron and intimidating. There's is nothing straight in front of him. Everything that direction would be lower than eye level and out of his field of view. He introduces himself to

And then proceed to light a campfire under the tree... why don't they just light the tree on fire??? It's such a small detail and I'm such a huge fan of the franchise but I swear I facepalm every time I read or see it.

Did doctors never try to give him a shot or do a blood test? And as a guy that was involved in sports he never tried lifting heavier and heavier weights? That's like a fundamental aspect of lifting weights.

When we rake off we have a primary airport and a secondary airport in the flight plan, and by law we have to have 45 minutes of fuel after reaching the secondary airport. After arriving at New York and not hearing from ATC, planes would simply FLY t

For example, an FBI agent will put together a profile from thin air that somehow manages to identify the killer's home address and exactly where they are now. In the meantime, they've missed or ignored the most basic clues than any idiot watching has already picked up on halfway through the show or movie.

Tumblr Thread on Ape Sign Language Is a Feels Trip


There have been a few high profile cases of researchers teaching gorillas and chimps sign language. Here Tumblr shares some of the dark and incredible moments with different apes and ASL. For some more everyday moments of animal intelligence, here are the most creepily intelligent things peoples pets have done. For some interesting tumblr animal stuff, here's an informative thread on how cats became domesticated.

1.

Primate - Imagine all the things animals think and remember we have no clue because we don't speak the same language.. Michael the gorilla was taught sign language by Koko, the first signing gorilla. He began signing "Squash meat gorilla. Mouth tooth. Cry sharp-noise loud. Bad think-trouble look- face. Cut/neck lip (girl) hole." Researchers believed this was a description of the poaching death of his mother.

2.

Text - Washoe was a chimp who was taught sign language. One of Washoe's caretakers was pregnant and missed work for many weeks after she miscaried. Roger Fouts recounts the following situation: "People who should be there for her and aren't are often given the cold shoulder-her way of informing them that she's miffed at them. Washoe greeted Kat (the caretaker) in just this way when she finally retumed to work with the chimps. Kat made her apologies to Washoe, then decided to tell her the truth,

3.

Text - Washoe herself lost two children; one baby died shortly after birth of a heart defect, the other baby, Sequoyah, died of a staph infection at two months of age. after the death of her children, researchers were determined to have Washoe raise a baby and brought in a ten month chimpanzee named Loulis. one of the caretakers went to Washoe's enclosure and signed "i have a baby for you." Washoe became incredibly excited, yelling and swaying from side to side, signing "baby" over and over agai

Text - the caretaker came back with Loulis, and Washoe's excitement disappeared entirely. she refused to pick Loulis up, instead signing "baby" apathetically; it was clear that the baby she thought she was getting was going to be Sequoyah. eventually Washoe did approach Loulis, and by the next day the two had bonded and from then on she was utterly devoted to him. "information shamelessly paraphrased from When Elephants Weep by Jeffrey Masson. Even more interestingly, after Washoe and Loulis bon

Chad Screws Over Construction Business Partner, Revenge Follows


The fact that "Chad" couldn't stop himself from ruining his cars, says a lot about his relationship with the rest of life. The dude went full scumbag mode. Apparently he screwed over his construction business partner, and said partner decided to fight back. The revenge was years in the making, and oh boy, did it play out beautifully. Tough luck, Chad. 

1.

Text - Construction revenge ten years in making and why I will never have another business partner. Hello O r/ProRevenge! I'm back with another long one. This one has been going on for a decade, and I am personally, very proud of how it turned out. TL:DR at bottom A little over ten years ago, when I was a young carpenter, I met a guy who l'll call "chad" because fuck chad.

2.

Text - Chad was a new hire by the company I was working for, and became my helper. We got along famously even though he was 10 years older than me, he didn't mind working under a 23 year old carpenter as an apprentice. Chad and I had worked together for 6 months when he brought up the idea of starting a business together, he figured between the two of us, we could easily run a crew and build houses. After talking it over with my pregnant girlfriend (now wife) we decided that it would be better f

3.

Text - My duties were simple. Staff and run the crew, and keep on budget, something that came easy to me. I was to be paid an hourly wage, as well as 50% of profit after all business expenses. I never took my profit draw, as I rolled it back into growing the company. Things were great for about six months, the crew was working well together, we had a few houses under our belts, and a contract for a 10,000 square foot custom house with multiple out-buildings. Things were great. So chad has never

Text - The company we were building for is one of the best custom home builders around, and doing a good job on this house could mean that we wouldn't have to pound the pavement looking for work, work would be given to us. Perfect arraignment. Until it wasn't. Chad started spending money like it was going out of style. He sold his 2500 Chevy pickup, and bought a new Jeep Wrangler. He had the jeep for about a months before he sunk it in water while 4x4ing, and it " caught on fire" mysteriously a

Text - I finished the foundation, and picked up the cheque from the builder. The builder said that we over billed him by 25% but he was happy with the work we (I) done, but not to over bill again, as he doesn't like over paying, as there may not be any money left at the end of the build. I apologized, and asked him to cancel the cheque, and issue one for the work actually completed, he agreed too and said " l'm so happy to have honest people working for me" I usually don't pick up the cheques, n

Text - I go into work Monday to find the locks on our tool bin had been changed, my name removed from all accounts, and a letter taped to the tool bin stating I was "dismissed from my duties" for an undisclosed reason. I was fucking furious. I was not aware that as a business partner I could be fired. I found another job quite quickly, and tried my best to put it behind me. That's when I found out where the money was going, and that chad had been slandering my name around town, blaming me for th

7.

Text - This is the revenge part. I took the "evidence" to my fathers lawyer (RIP) friend, who started a fraud/embezzlement investigation through the CRA (Canadian revenue agency, Canada's IRS) and called the insurance provider to make sure they were being paid. (They had never received anything) I called the builder whom we were building for and explained what was happening. He told me that chad had essentially stolen around $30,000 for payment of work not completed, and had broken into their of

8.

Text - Police said they couldn't help me and said it was a civil case. And the builder said he wasn't going to sue, as chad had no money, and it wasn't worth the headache. So I called his auto insurance company. Sent them all the pictures of his sunk vehicles, texts about them, and a short video he sent of him lighting the jeep on fire. Insurance company filed charges against chad, and won, chad is on the hook for around $130,000. I've spent the last 9.5 years telling anyone who'll listen about

Text - doesn't end here. Years have passed, and I am still pissed off. I receive a call from a guy offering me a job. It was the builder that chad screwed over, not remembering that we know each other, after I explained who I was, and this bridge is burnt due to chad, he still offers me the job. Medical dental, company van, gas card, corporate credit card. I accept his offer. First order of business, finds another way to fuck with chad. Through the grapevine I find where chad is living and worki

10.

Text - I get in touch with chads landlord, explain how he operates, and chad is evicted for unpaid rent. He was apparently a couple months behind. I also managed to get his girlfriends phone number call her and explain what this guy does to people, and his extensive criminal history, including, but no limited to fraud, identity theft, insurance fraud, his many assaults, and his wanted picture published in the paper. Turns out she is owner of his truck, primary operator, but he pays the insurance

11.

Text - I call the insurance provider, explain what is going on, for them to tell me he doesn't even have a license anymore. They void the insurance on his (girlfriends) truck after speaking to her, and set up a sting with the police. I personally get to be involved as I knew what was going on. So I sit and wait for the day it goes down. I roll up behind the unmarked police cruiser, and quickly explain who I am and what my plans are.

12.

Text - The police are thinking that they are just waiting to pull him over for driving without a license, and no insurance, I said I'm going to cal him immediately as soon as I see him. So he comes cruising out, and I make the call, he actually picked up the phone to call me a bunch of names, and the "n" word. (I am as white as the fresh fallen snow) and promptly gets pulled over. Police issue a ticket for; Reckless driving No seat belt No license Using a handheld device.

13.

Text - During this the girlfriend pulls up, and proceeds to give consent to search her truck. In the truck they find multiple id's, stolen credit cards, a couple ATM skimmer machines, and a fake police badge. He was arrested on the spot. Revenge over, right? Nope. Police then ask to search the residence he was living at, he moved into the girlfriends house after I had him evicted from his own place.

14.

Text - In the garage they find a vast collection of stolen tools, a lot of which belonged to the builder I was working for, from when he broke into their office, and they were all stupidly still labeled with the company's inventory control stickers. This brought on more charges, and he was remanded to police custody until his trial date. Well justice is sometimes slow here in Canada, and his trial date was at the time, 17 months into the future.

15.

Text - Well yesterday was his trial date, so my boss (who chad ripped off) chads ex-girlfriend and I attend the hearing. Just to see the man squirm. His judgement was 8 years in jail (after being granted time and a half for time served) a $100,000 dollar fine, 1000 hours community services after release, and no possibility of parole. I got to watch him be taken away in chains twice. Never underestimate the fury of a quiet man. And fuck chad.

16.

Text - TL:DR. Roasted red peppers. Set oven to 350 4 quartered red peppers Cover in olive oil Bake until soft/slight browning on skin Soak in Italian salad dressing until cool Return to oven with feta cheese on top( skin down) Remove when cheese starts to brown. A nice heathy addition to any barbecued meal. Edit: writing is hard mmmmkay.

Stupid Things Restaurants Used Instead of Dishes


One of the things we don't miss about restaurants is the need to make increasingly inconvenient, and sometimes potentially dangerous presentation. For example, serving food on top of a bed of bite-sized rocks is kind of a bad idea. Here are outlandish restaurant presentations, from broccoli on barbed wire to burgers on a guitar.
