Things People Don't See Everyday


Maybe, you have indeed not seen a lot of these rare sights. The world is filled to the brim with strange, unexplainable, and unexpected phenomenon. It's when one's expectations are shattered, and reality surprises them with a curveball, that they can feel most alive. These wild things are certainly not seen everyday.

Truckers Reacting to Exploding Mill


Amazingly, no one was injured in this Jay, Maine paper mill explosion. And as an interesting bonus we have the commentary of all the guys in their trucks watching the whole thing go down. Around a minute in, the pulp starts to land.

Tumblr Goes Full Mythological Scientist On Dragon Evolution


A flamethrower is by no means a precision weapon. This fun Tumblr thread considers why dragons would have eyes on the sides of their heads. It sounds like it could be because they place the greatest value in the field of view (when considering other predators) over depth perception. 

1.

Vertebrate - ll youSee 4G e 20.41 O 59 % 4 galahadwilder A sudden, terrifying thought When you see an animal with its eyes set to the front, like wolves, or humans, that's usually a predator animal.

2.

Bovine - If you see an animal with its eyes set farther back, though-to the side-that animal is prey. Now look at this dragon.

3.

Cg artwork - Now look at this dragon. See those eyes? CM

4.

Dragon - They're to the SIDE. O Nicolás Pera - Amisigaudi This raises an interesting-and terrifying- question.

5.

Text - perfectly-generic-blog The eyes-in-the-front thing (usually) only applies to mammals. Crocodiles, arguably the inspiration for dragons, have eyes that look to the sides despite being a predator. pyrrhiccomedy hey what up l'm about to be That Asshole This isn't a mammalian thing. When people talk about 'eyes on the front' or 'eyes on the side, they're really talking about binocular vision vs monocular vision. Binocular vision is more advantageous for predators because it's what gives you d

6.

Text - (The eyes-in-front = predator / eyes-on-sides %3D %3D prey thing holds true far more regularly for birds than it does for mammals. Consider owls, hawks, and falcons vs parrots, sparrows, and doves.) But it's not like binocular vision is inherently "better" than monocular vision. It's a trade-off: you get better at leap-strike-kill, but your field of vision is commensurately restricted, meaning you see less stuff. Sometimes, the evolutionary benefit of binocular vision just doesn't outweig

7.

Text - For example, if you are a crocodile, there is a decent chance that a hippo will cruise up your shit and bite you in half. I'd say that makes monocular vision worthwhile. Which brings us back to OP's point. Why would dragon evolution favor field of view over depth perception? A lot of the stories l've read painted the biggest threats to dragons (until knights with little shiny sticks came along) as other dragons. Dragons fight each other, dragons have wars. And like fish, a dragon would ne

Tumblr User Shares Rad Rock Collection


This quick and fun Tumblr thread features all kinds of cool rocks. Anyone geeking out over something like rocks (which are awesome) is a whole lot of fun for the rest of the world. The passion shines through. We love it. 

1.

Rock - Though you may assume this is a Small Rock, it is in fact a very Large Rock, and also a very Heavy Rock, but most especially a very Square Rock, which is what makes it particularly cool.

2.

Rock - reddpenn Anyway, do you guys want to see my Cool Rocks? This is my grandfather's rock. It is Probably a Garnet, which he mined out himself when he was in college studying to be a geologist.

3.

Product - Here we have a rock which used to be a tree. This rock is petrified wood! It was one of my very first Cool Rocks!

4.

Turtle - Speaking of rocks that used to be things that were not rocks, this rock is Petoskey stone! This rock used to be a coral. Let's get a good look at those patterns.

5.

Brown - Now that's a Cool Rock!

6.

Rock - Amethyst? It's an Okay Rock. If you are looking for an inexpensive rock to start your collection, amethyst is the way to go. It's a quartz with a deep purple color. A very nice, if average, rock.

7.

Mineral - Now citrine... Citrine is a Cool Rock! It's a smoky quartz with a lovely honey color. The druzy on my chunk of citrine has a wonderful sparkle.

8.

Turquoise - This is my Amazonite! It grew that hexagon shape all by itself! This specimen is from Colorado.

9.

Hand - Look at this shiny little slice of rock! This rock is Tiger Iron, and those bands of red and orange glow beautifully with some light behind them. These different colored bands are made from Hematite (the dark silver), Jasper (the red- orange), and Tiger-Eye quartz (the yellow- orange).

10.

Green - Here's a rock you've probably seen before! This Cool Rock is Malachite. The patterns and rings are from the stalagmites this little egg was carved from.

11.

Dish - Whoa, look at this giant slab of Extremely Cool Rock!! These crystals formed in the cracks of fossilized mud, to make the awesome patterns in this geode of Septarian! This is my second best rock.

12.

Rock - This is my Best and most Favorite Cool Rock. In this dark room it's a dull little grey rock, but if I move it closer to the light..

13.

Rock - Those glints of gold! Those veins of blue! This rock is most certainly Labradorite, which changes color spectacularly when the light hits it just right. Let's put it in direct sunlight.

14.

Diamond - Yes! YES! There it is! The Best and Coolest Rock!!!!!

Reviews Employees Would Leave For Their Customers


The tables have turned. Yes, this fun AskReddit thread asks employees how they'd review their customers if the whole Yelp review process were flipped. Maybe providing a space for employees to write up their customers for rude behavior and irritating antics would ultimately serve to raise awareness in those most severe cases of entitled customers. If this thread leaves you hungry for more content about working in the industry, check out the worst customers that people ever dealt with.

1.

Text - RedWestern • 7h Came in. Ordered. Ate their food in silence. Left minimal mess and a reasonable tip. Then buggered off. My perfect customer. 5 stars.

2.

Text - Roxeigh • 8h 1 Award "She walked into the store and complained that outside "smelled of gasoline." I told her we would address that issue as soon as an employee became available to do so. Customer is apparently unaware they are pumping gas at a gas station when complaining about the scent of gas. Perhaps she could consider NOT huffing it while filling her tank?"

3.

Text - UndercOverUnicOrn • 8h The lady who yelled at me on the second day of my first job over the price of milk can have a solid 1 star.

4.

Text - Ibutler96 • 8h She lied about her hair history, wanted white blonde in one session on her "virgin" dark hair that the strand test determined was a lie. Said she could do it herself at home, turned hair orange instead. Came back to get a color correction and after explaining why she couldn't have blonde she said she'd settle for anything but orange and lighter than the dark. Gets a beautiful chocolate/caramel color and cries because it's not blonde and too expensive, and also leaves no tip

Text - dawrina • 9h "Came on opening weekend of one of the biggest movies of the year 5 minutes before the showtime and then was shocked they'd have to stand in line for their concessions. Then complained to management that they 'missed their movie'. Like what did they think was going to happen? Like We'd have a reserved placed in line for them because of their obvious VIP status as King Douchelord of Assland?"

Text - PokeBattle_Fan • 9h Guy comes in in the middle of the festival, no reservation, by car, and blames ME because it took him 2 hours to go the entrance of the city to my hotel because there are 200 000 people walking around the streets, and police barages to help the flow of pedestrians. Then he blames ME again because he did all of this for nothing because we're full. What did he think would happen, walking-in with no reservation during the city's largest festival? 1 star, would not recomme

Text - LostPotatoHotPotato • 10h 3 1 Award "Apparently the basic front desk bell is too complicated of a mechanism to operate for this person. Also demanded that I reduce her rate because we ran out of complimentary coffee and she couldn't wait the two minutes it would take me to make a new pot. Insulted the housekeepers, too. 0 stars"

Text - Jajajabasket • 10h Gah! She practically drinks all the salsa and I keep having to give her refills. Her chip-to-salsa ratio is seriously questionable. Otherwise, she's nice enough.

9.

Text - DaveSW777 • 8h E 2 Awards Nice, pleasant man. Always orders the same sandwich every time, making preparing for him simple despite the complicated sandwich. Tips well, never talks longer it takes to complete his order. Also, the only male regular over 50 that doesn't leer at my underage coworker. 5 stars.

Text - mindfeces • 10h 1 Award I just wish the lady that cuts my hair would discreetly tell me if l'm a good tipper or not.

11.

Text - theghostofourprivacy • 8h A customer walked in the front door of my very closed, curbside only pub today and asked if we had any steak. He had to ignore a giant sign saying PLEASE STAY OUTSIDE WE WILL BRING YOUR PHONE/ONLINE ORDER OUT TO YOU. Zero out of five stars. I almost had a rage stroke.

12.

Text - WeapThicc • 8h This stupid old man threw a tantrum over canned noodles. I told him it was on the shelf, but he insisted there were bags in the boxes ontop. I told him the boxes were full of the same canned brand but he didn't listen and started to cause a scene. I went to get my card with a step stool on it to show him, but he started hitting his cart yelling "damn it" I got so angry I ripped the box off the top shelf and cant everywhere. He just said, "guess they were cans" and walked of

Text - denizgult • 5h The curly haired young guy with glasses and a baggy- skater vibe dress sense. Clearly smokes hella weed, comes in high and orders food and is always just so polite, like as polite as a customer can get. Sits on a chair and waits for his order and has this stupid smile on his face staring at nothing like 3 time a week. I don't know you but I love you bro.

14.

Text - zakolo46 • 8h "Very friendly, usually gets a root beer to start and a coffee after their meal" "Eats out on break from lunch daily, usually wants quick service and minimal interruptions, sometimes eats with a client. Usually tips well." "Made many additional requests throughout the meal during peak dinner hour. Left the table disgustingly messy. Did not tip well" "This guest is awesome! Likes to take suggestions, so offer a drink and make sure to have some lesser known dishes memorized. W

Text - Tomato-Tomato-Tomato • 5h I stayed at an AirBnB in China and my host reviewed me. Google translation: "Very Handsome Big Boy"

16.

Text - -EDGAR- • 9h Family came into the restaurant today and order a good amount of sushi rolls and some chicken hibachis. There was no problem with their payment or their demeanor at first, but be careful. Looks can be deceiving. As soon as we provided their kids with forks, they started flinging rice at each other. Parents didn't even bat an eye, like this was a normal thing, so I'm sure they have done this at other places too. They left the area around them looking like the kids were playing

17.

Text - Hurricane2410•7h Had a customer that was on the phone through the whole order while I was trying to make her burrito and kept asking what she wanted in it and she wouldent answer. so I started to wrap it up but then she began to yell at me because she wasent done yet and began to bitch about how I needed to do my job better. Meanwhile she was still talking on the phone and we had 30 other people in line because it was rush hour. O stars maybe try not to be such a karen next time.

18.

Text - BatteryPoweredBrain • 8h Left me a tip that looked like a $10 bill, but when you unfolded it, it was just a prayer. Hope they rot in hell. I would leave them 0 stars if I could.

19.

Text - cisu_x • 8h "Very polite but also incredibly awkward for some reason."

20.

Text - cirkusbee • 9h after not reading our "cards only" sign, she tried to pay in cash. After being informed we couldn't take cash, she through a temper tantrum and cursed us out. 0/5 stars.

21.

Text - pearlypoo • 8h I always thought there should be a Yelp type thing for rental properties and landlords. Type in the address or landlord's name, "1 star, freezing and mouldy in winter. Landlord didn't give a fuck."
