Few things in this life are as satisfying as watching a true professional explain something related to their craft. In case you always wondered why the rivets on a tape measure slid, now you can be enlightened. This guy should start his own channel.

Astronaut Chris Hadfield shows us what happens when you shake up a soda can beyond belief, and then open it. Basically a whole bunch of nothing. Also, Chris Hadfield has lived in space, on earth, and underwater. The dude is clearly too dangerous for this planet.

One of the main pitfalls of whale watching is that there's no guarantee that you'll actually see a whale (or so we've heard from more cultured people who have time to go on boats). This whale seems to have heard that this crew needed some whale shots so it showed up right on cue.

@SaystheFox found some hard times and put that energy into making some magic happen for a kid in their neighborhood. It's probably some of the more wholesome stuff we've seen. Also, points for getting the parents in on it because without that this whole thing would probably be the creepiest thing we've ever experienced. For more wholesomeness, here's some wholesome memes to keep the feels intact and a quick tumblr post on kids language struggles.

The audacity of this materialistic aunt to sit there and watch her family member go ahead with eating chocolates that are bad, because she didn't want to get called out for regifting, is beyond comprehension. We can only hope that the Aunt learned her lesson, and discontinued her regifting practice. Especially regifting expired sweets. That's just the opposite of promoting the holiday spirit. Check out more of the world's pettiest revenges over here.

If that's what the stuff does to leather, it leaves the question of "what does it do to your insides?" This was likely an honest discovery, but who knows, maybe this was started by the Kool-Aid company themselves so that they'd finally get a different result when you google "Kool-Aid Dying." Here are some more funny and shiny tumblr gems.

After a certain point, price doesn't denote quality or value as much as it just becomes the principle of buying an outrageously overpriced thing. Does a 30,000 dollar melon taste 29,995 dollars better than a 5 dollar melon? We don't know, we haven't tried one. But probably not. For out of touch rich people, spending money seems to become a sort of game, and for any reasonable bystander it's a jaw-dropping game to watch.

We're not sure whether this whole rumor mill about Sesame Street's foreboding and forbidden Crack Monster is actually real or not. Regardless of whether or not this is nothing more than an imaginative work of fiction from some of Tumblr's wandering minds, it's still certainly an intriguing concept. At least we were able to find the infamous video (see end of list). We just wonder if all the other details about the story are true. If you're looking for more entertaining Sesame Street content, check out this post where Tumblr insists that Big Bird isn't an Apex predator.

Man, nothing can bring the blood to a boil quite like having to take orders from a boss that clearly doesn't know what they're doing. In this case, we have a ship captain who sounds like he'd exhausted all of his ability to care about much of anything on the ship. The guy refused to listen to his deck crew's warnings, and ended up living to regret that like none other. Poor guy missed out on a bonus that he'd easily have been rewarded if he'd just slowed down and been a little more openminded.

Once people realized that Big Bird's foreword facing eyes could indicate that Sesame Street could be his hunting grounds, it created a lot of mixed feelings. These Tumblr users decided to set the story straight on the diet of the giant talking yellow bird puppet. Apparently they wanted to differentiate Big Bird from this foreword-facing eyes freak cave goat.
