Moments That Show How Dumb and Strange Kids Are


It's no question that kids are stupid and weird. They're horrible liars, they don't know how to read, they lack basic coordination skills and a lot of them look like they've never worked a day in their life. From sharpie-ing the dog to attempting to eat wax fruit, there's more than enough proof that kids are stupid and weird.

4 Traumatizing Ways Hollywood Portrays Growing Up


In the Season 2 Finale of Your Brain On Cracked, "Doctor" Jordan Breeding celebrates the show's one year anniversary as well as mourns Caleb's death/move to Austin, Texas. He also uses the opportunity to discuss how messed up coming of age movie tropes are in films like Power Rangers, Animorphs, Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Transformers, and X-Men and maybe even grows up a bit himself.

Behemoth Fart Interrupts Billiards Game


Just entertain the very likely possibility that the monstrous fart to end all farts was intended to be a silent one. And imagine the crippling panic, the dizzying embarrassment that must've ensued. Or, you could always just own it. 

Freaky Ice Drift Smooshes Up Russian River Bank


A massive ice drift on the Amur River in Eastern Russia climbed up the banks of the town of Khabarovsk, smashing a metal barricade. While the drift didn't hurt anyone, it did succeed in looking like an angry ancient river god trying to invade dry land. It's like a slow motion tsunami.

Bank Tries To Squeeze Dad For Money, Dad Outsmarts Bank


If this were a chess match between the sleazy bank and dad, dad just pulled the checkmate on them. Good for dad for being financially literate. For another spicy tale of pro revenge, check out this story about a man who crank called his friend and ended up being served a fake paternity suit.

Biker Customer Demands Cup Of Cream and Sugar, Ends Up Apologizing


Sometimes customers are so high on their own sense of confident entitlement that they forget an employee might actually be trying to help them out. What does it say when a road-weary biker is more willing to admit their ordering mistakes than this Karen who was furious after getting the cake she wanted.

Facebook Post On Foolishness Of Human Beings


This guy's Facebook post illustrates just how absurd it is that human beings try to shrug off scientific or historical research with "common sense." He uses a solid chess analogy to drive the point home. 

Restaurant Owner Calls Out Woman's Dishonest Reviews


People who go out of their way to try and diminish an upstanding restaurant's completely well earned, good reputation are really swinging low. These times more than ever have put restaurants through the ringer. To take the extra step toward making it that much harder for them to get business because you have some kind of maniacal agenda to inflate your sense of worth through taking away someone else's through dishonesty is just vile. We're glad that this restaurant owner put "Bianca" in her place. 

Guy Stands Up to Jerk Boss Who Makes Him do Two Jobs


People deal with their fair share of ignorant bosses, so it's incredibly satisfying to see an employee who's in the right win something, like this overworked employee who revolted by doing his exact job description. And to prove that your boss is being a complete hypocrite is icing on the cake.

Good Stuff That Got Ruined By Money and Popularity


The world often finds itself at a loss for good cheap stuff. After cheap things become popular, the powers that be start to realize the premium people will pay for those things that are popular, even if the cost isn't reflected accurately. There was a time when chicken wings were cheap. Now people wear good work pants as if they were a luxury brand. It could also be a mix of inflation and nostalgia, but by god there's tons of stuff that's more expensive but also somehow worse. Here's some of the most absurdly overpriced stuff people have seen.

Wife Says Family's Broke, Husband Reminds Her They're Millionaires


Honestly, it's probably best to do what you can to steer clear of those revealing talks about the state of your personal finances around the dinner table. Especially whenever there might be some alcohol involved. There are just certain subjects that have a tendency to set people on edge. In this scenario, we have a couple who ends up being at odds over how they present the state of their financials to the rest of the world. The wife wants to paint a BS picture of them being broke, while the husband is more concerned with people knowing that they're in fact millionaires. Maybe just take a break from sharing all that information, and focus on something else. 

Ironic, Stupid and Wonderful Shirts


Are ridiculous and stupid t shirts still a thing? There's definitely been a strong surge of extremely aggressive and arbitrary tough guy shirts , but hopefully we haven't outlived the era of funny t shirts, if not only because at this point in time they're kinda folksy. In any town in America there will always be a guy at the store buying milk wearing a shirt demanding that you smell his finger, preferably in comic sans, and there just seems something so right about it.

Tumblr Thread: A Wife's Diabolical Seam Revenge


We're no strangers to the pettiest revenges of the most petty people, but this is so specific and weird that it's just kind of awesome. If anyone thought that sewing didn't have the potential to be a merchant of chaos, then they didn't know things like how Tumblr's yarn community has serious drama.

Woman Gets Targeted By Clique Of Nasty Coworkers, Petty Revenge Ensues


It's stories like these that should serve as an effective reminder that mistreating those around you can end up having all kinds of unexpected, brutal implications further on down the road. Like, for instance, it sounds as if the leader of a terribly toxic pack of this woman's old coworkers ended up getting her comeuppance later when she needed a new job, and had to get the green light from the very person that she bullied. Being able to serve up some of that karmic justice would put a spring in just about anyone's step. 

Twitter Thread: A Bunch Of Joshes Declare Battle Over Sharing Same Name


This is the kind of stuff that the internet exists for. There are plenty of folks out there that have muddled through the disorienting experience of sharing a class or working at a company that includes multiple people that share their same name. It can make for quite the series of confusing days. Well, clearly, some of the Joshes of the world have had enough. This is where it all ends. Only one Josh will reign supreme over the dystopian wasteland that is 2021. 

Town's Businesses Engage in Widespread Sign War

For sign joke aficionados, here are some sign jokes and some high class sign puns.

AskReddit Thread: Funniest Things That Recruits Ever Said


This fun AskReddit thread has drill sergeants describing the funniest things that they ever heard recruits say. It makes enough sense that recruits would be apt to spew off some nonsensical things while under the pressure of a new environment, brimming with all kinds of emotional and physical tests. You've probably got to learn to hold a firm grasp on a solid sense of humor. 

Skillful Creations of Absurd Taste


One of the great things about being human is having the ability to manifest our dreams and tastes in the from of physical things. We can build whatever impressive creation of dubious taste we want. Want a cheese log carved into a bust of Nixon? Go for it. Want to be buried in a coffin shaped like a hamburger? Also possible. While the things people like might be of questionable taste, the creations are still impressive.

Man's Performance On Tiny Drums Is A Spectacle To Behold


Just picture what it's like for this guy to unload for shows. Must be an all-time smooth process. Dude's out there traveling light. And also wielding those drum sticks like an absolute wizard.
