Slingshot Rider Stabilizes Her Friend's Head as She Passes Out


People pass out on rides all the time, but they don't usually get any help. At least it's nice to have a decent friend who checks your pulse and makes sure you don't break your neck between your intermittent bouts of lucidity. Most of us have friends who would just laugh at us as we flop around.

Giant Chicken Is An Absolute Unit of A Bird


Knowing that this thing is walking around, it makes a little more sense that chickens are distantly related to T-Rexes. Dang, that bird is so big it belongs on Sesame Street. Are we sure this behemoth isn't just an ostrich?

Nathan Fielder Reads UW Professor's Reviews


Nathan Fielder's a comedian who is infamous for instigating acts of hilarious chaos in the middle of otherwise boring conversations. His show "Nathan For You" is a goldmine. In this video though, we get to see Nathan Fielder clearly accidentally leave something up on his screen that many folks probably wouldn't want to share with the rest of the world.

IT Guy Assumes Professor Understands Technology, Professor Proves Otherwise


Don't judge a book by its cover. For better or for worse. What initially seems like a promising situation with a professor who gives off technology savvy vibes, ends up devolving into a puzzling situation where the IT dude has to work around the professor's glaring lack of knowledge on how an internet browser works. At least the issue was able to be "resolved."

Bragging Cringe Lords Who Think They're Geniuses


Being smart isn't just about knowing a few big words or thinking deep thoughts. Society has a slippery idea of what intelligence means, so sometimes what you get is a bunch of cringey braggarts who think they're geniuses. It's fine to be smart and have opinions, but when you spend your time "eviscerating dullards" in the Youtube comments section, how smart could you really be?

Roommate Leaves Passive Aggressive Notes Around Apartment, Petty Revenge Ensues


Passive aggressive behavior is gross. People can take their passive aggressiveness to nauseating heights as well. In the case of this little housing drama we have a roommate who insisted on leaving very annoying sticky notes around the place about the pettiest of matters. So, our star engineer in the act of a petty revenge decides to leave a nice little picture for them to stir things up. This isn't the first time we've seen roomies come to blows over something like toilet paper in the place. We also have that recent story of a roommate who wouldn't chip in for toilet paper, so the toilet paper was hidden from them

Unexpected Problems Colorblind People Deal With


Perspective can change when you realize you've been taking something for granted. In this case it's interesting to think about how there are so many seemingly inconsequential things that color is used to indicate, like locked doors or plant health. It can be enlightening and pretty funny to learn about how everyone interprets the world, like this tumblr thread that appreciates different perspectives.

Font - mossling 12 hours ago E 2 Standing outside one late October night, watching one of the best displays of the Northern Lights that I've seen. My family is gasping at the shifting display of colors- pink and blue and purple swirled in with the more common green. I look over at our friend, who is much less awe-inspired than us, and remember that he's colorblind. I didn't mention it or make a fuss, but it made me quite sad for him.

Font - FlyingPotatoGirl 13 hours ago I'm not color blind but I had a friend in middle school who was. He showed up to school very proud of his St Patricks day outfit. All green he said. It was all brown. The kicker was that he didn't know he was color blind until we told him. It was middle school so he definitely got pinched that day.

I'm not severely colorblind, but have issues with things like purple from some shades of blue, dark greens from browns, teal from grey, things like that.

Pine Tree and I'll figure it out. Misty Hike and I am lost. Same with 091.

Picking out clothes that look good is quite a challenge also.

Font - brontupistow 7 hours ago You'd be surprised how often color is the only identifier for things. "Can you hand me the red one?" or "Turn left at the brown house." I'd say little things like that make up the majority of times my colorblindness is a problem. Also, some album/film art looks awful to me, and sometimes I can't read the words.
