People have done stupid things for a long time and it doesn't seem like we're gonna stop anytime soon. History lets us see some of humanity's highlights when it comes to making irreparable mistakes, doing weird garbage, and getting killed in idiotic ways. Here are some history memes to feel smart about as well as some of the great trollings of history.

Communication is key, and this manager who couldn't pay enough attention to make his own password got exactly what he asked for. As it turns out, this kind of thing isn't so rare. For another time someone at work wanted something but wasn't clear enough, here's a boss who demanded a demolished office but got more than that.

Oh boy, we've got a fresh collection of people taking ridiculous petty revenges on one another. Some folks just refuse to let other people's unconscious behavior roll off their back, and instead they proceed to hatch masterful, crazy petty revenges. These people certainly held nothing back.
Check out another juicy petty revenge tale with this sister who always stole her sibling's food, so the sibling took revenge at the graduation.

As it turns out, Legolas doesn't need to worry about that silly horizon. Nor does any other elf in Tolkien's wild word. Tolkien lore actually shines light on the true nature of elves, and their ability to see the world as a flat disc, while everyone else sees it as a globe. Pretty fun stuff. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about the crude king of satire, Skweezy Jibbs.

This is one of those insane, impressive mountain biking videos that just kind of blows your mind. I feel the secondhand fear just watching this dude tackle these gravity-defying jumps. Must've been some magical kind of adrenaline rush.

Man, nothing quite sinks the spirits like when you realize you have a nasty neighbor next door. We're all just trying to coexist reasonably peacefully, but some neighbors make that seem like an unattainable reality. Take this neighbor for instance. Grandpa tried to have a simple chat with the dude, and the dude proceeded to be nasty, and shove Grandpa's considerate kindness right back in his face. Well, Grandpa pulled off quite the successful long con from there.

A small plane had to make an emergency landing on a Minnesota highway, hitting an SUV in the process. No injuries were reported. Luckily for everyone, the pilot of the small plane was Craig Gifford, an award-winning acrobatics pilot. He said he had to make the emergency landing after experiencing engine failure. All in all, not a bad person for the job.

Some cats bring home dead animals. This one brings home other people's stuff. Sometimes cats are just terrifically weird, like this cat that loves being in the fridge. Sure, it's likely this cat loves stealing gloves, but it goes without saying that this could also be the perfect cover for a person who loves to steal too. For a wholesome cat story, here's a tumblr thread about a human who befriended a cat that doesn't meow.

Man, the people in this world that try to lazily pull fast ones on the hard working folks in the customer service industry, are something else. This guy was certainly in over his head when he tried to collect a refund from a hotel with a crappy excuse. He wasn't ready for them to have the camera evidence to debunk his little scam. Nice try, bud.

Of all the things dads contribute, some of the most memorable are slews of horribly wonderful puns in the form of devastating dad jokes. Yeah, they're kind of horrible but what sackful of puns isn't. It's best to take the decent ones with the godawful and just tip your hat to the great spirit of dads.
