What a time to be alive. Spinning an apple fast enough to literally get it to explode is one of those things that you probably never thought you'd actually see happen, a couple decades ago or so. But here we are. In all of its glory you can feast your eyes on an apple that's spun so fast that it explodes. And, you can see it all happen in slo-mo. Beautiful stuff.

This programmer managed to write a script that proceeded to call phone scammers 28 times a second, which resulted in service denial and prevented any future scams. If that ain't the work of some kind of modern day hero, I don't know what is. Those scammers had no idea what they were walking into.

The Santa Clause is the heartwarming family tale of Tim Allen murdering Santa Claus which seems like a pretty good deal until you do some math and realize that single night of delivering presents lasts thousands of years thanks to Santa's magical time-stopping powers. Which makes us wonder, did Tim Allen actually kill Santa, or did Santa fake his death to escape from the endless torture of being Big Man Christmas? We investigate with Movie Math!

While older siblings might be prone to picking on their younger siblings, there's also something strangely consistent about how they'll go to war with anyone that takes on that role that's not in the family. This bank manager clearly underestimated the older siblings that'd eventually get involved. Should've given out that grown up card before the other grown ups got involved. Check out some more juicy revenge drama with this dude who flipped the script on some nightmare neighbors.

Work sometimes feels like a total racket, but it's something we all have to do, so at least there's that. In addition to knowing your coworkers have to go through the same thing, there's also work memes to help get through the day. Do work memes make work easier? Not necessarily. But they are a pretty decent alternative.

Here we are yet again with the wonderful, wandering minds of the Tumblr world delivering just the kind of informative, and unsettling thread that really takes the brain for a trip. Apparently, there's an actual reason why us human beings can feel the cringe chills come on when animation seems to be too realistic. It's called the uncanny valley effect. What makes the effect so unsettling, is reflecting on why we could've developed that kind of "survival instinct" in the first place. Was it because there used to be some sort of alien monster thing scouring the globe back in the day that was a threat to homo sapiens' survival? Maybe so, maybe so. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with these cooks that bonded over their dysfunctional family members.

Man, it sounds like these rude developers were insistent on being as unreasonable as possible. They clearly underestimated the lengths that folks would be willing to go to, to stop their efforts. The rest is history. Talk about a sweet symphony of pro revenge. If this story of revenge got you going, check out this story where a landlord wouldn't pay for electricity during winter, so the tenant took a nuclear revenge.

If you've ever found someone special to share some time with in this mad world, you've likely participated in carrying on some hilariously dumb but highly addictive bit with your partner. You probably had no idea why you were doing it, and why it was so funny without fail every time, but you continued to do with admirable, stubborn persistence.

In this world of pain and guarded sarcasm, it's important from time to time to actually acknowledge that sometimes things can matter or at least be kind of nice. Wholesome memes can help keep things moving in a way that many of us might agree is sort of healthy. If nothing else, wholesome memes keep the feels intact.
