Choir's Thunderstorm Impersonation Is On Point, Then They Sing


Some people really love their thunderstorm noises. These days we have a wealth of apps that are specifically designed to deliver that noise because apparently it can be quite relaxing. Um, those apps can't hold a candle to this choir's take on a thunderstorm though. We're talking about some truly magical stuff. 

Concrete Buffer Goes Absolutely Nuts


This concrete buffer is clearly having way more fun than the rest of us. Look at those moves. Also, thankfully nobody was injured during this concrete buffer's exuberant performance. 

Man Transcends This Dimension During Recorder Performance


I'm not entirely convinced that this guy didn't enter this world already brandishing a recorder, maybe in the middle of already belting out a tune that'd make the sun itself come out to smile down upon the earth during a rainy day. Seriously, this is nuts. Inspiring. Maybe kids will see what this guy ended up being able to accomplish with his recorder skills, and be inspired to take those dang recorder classes just a bit more seriously. 

TikToker Captures Cringeworthy Ending To Tinder Date


Tinder's always had a reputation for inviting all kinds of ridiculous behavior. It's a place where people go to occasionally strike up real, meaningful connections, but more often than not, just act like shameless animals that have an overwhelming propensity for dispensing extra cheesy pickup lines. So, it's fun (?) to see a little Tinder date fallout in real time. Even if it came from the ever strange land of TikTok, and specifically from TikToker @sarah_updike

Karen Customer Insists On Being Totally Unreasonable, Pays The Price


If you go out of your way to be a generally insufferable human being to a perfectly kind and helpful individual who is working customer service, then you can pretty much count on something coming back to bite you in the butt. Sometimes, people are able to look past the toxic nonsense, but that takes some truly saintly patience. It sounds like this Omega Karen was on such an unbearable level of rudeness, that it was just bound to blow up in her face. 

Proof That Kids Are Strange, Dumb People


There's no question that kids are stupid and weird. We remember being stupid and weird. We remember having ridiculous beliefs. We remember thinking that the teacher lived at the school and that adults knew what they were talking about. We remember drawing mustaches on ourselves with permanent marker. Kids are just dumb and weird, and time only sort of remedies that.

Sounds Formerly Deaf People Were Surprised To Hear


Honestly it's amazing that we live in a world where it's possible to give a person hearing. With new hearing powers comes a few strange moments of people realizing what is and isn't pleasant sounding. There are a lot of things that deaf people are surprised make a sound or don't, like trees or the sun. There's also this classic tale of deaf kids learning about farts.

CIO Karen Buys Wrong Software, Won't Admit It, Pays 5X Service Hours Needed, Gets Fired


It sounds like it was only a matter of time before this CIO Karen ended up hitting her own self-destruct button. The thing about some of these particularly ignorant people is that when they're called out for this misguided antics, they just assume the belligerent, defensive stance and only ever end up making things far worse for themselves. Let's just send all the good vibes to Paul. Poor guy really went through it. For some more sloppy nonsense from the world of tech support check out this tale about the time that a department manager assumed that their monitors didn't need computers to work

Boss Says Employees Can't Idle, Employee Writes Code To Comply


At some jobs, the boss only really cares if the work gets done. At other jobs, the boss is so obsessed that employees are working every second of the day that it ends up making things less efficient.

So naturally this employee figured out a way to make everyone happy.

Friend Has Temper Tantrum Over Ride Being Lyft Not Uber


People will pitch a fit over just about anything. It's a scenario like the one we have here that might make you hold a deeper appreciation for the good friends that you've managed to find in this life. You know, like the friends that don't insist on staging a temper tantrum over the fact that the ride that you called was a Lyft and not an Uber. Like what? Get out of here with that. You can imagine what the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community had to say about the matter. 

Some Intriguing and Adorable Frog Butts


It doesn't get much more straightforward than this. As for as goofy animals go, this one probably tops dogs sleeping in awkward positions. Frogs are interesting creatures, and they're not exactly the kind of thing you'd expect to think about having butt-like appendages, but good on them for being themselves. Hippity-Hoppity, let those beats droppity.

AskReddit Thread: Dumbest Rules People's Schools Enforced


Schools and their armies of teachers can end up getting pretty carried away when it comes to the kinds of ridiculous rules that they enforce. Maybe you were one of those unfortunate students who ended up being punished for breaking a "rule" that you honestly couldn't believe existed in the first place. 

Tumblr Thread: Pokémon's Ash Ketchum Is A Jacked Beast


There are many brilliant and wandering minds in the Tumblr community that love to dive deep into aspects of the Pokémon universe that we'd otherwise overlook. It could be an enlightening thread about how Pokémon's probability system is utter madness. Or, perhaps it's a fun Tumblr thread where Pokémon are drawn to actual scale. In this case though, we have an astute observation from a Tumblr user who questions why someone like Mewtwo would even bother blocking Ash's fisticuffs. Pretty much Ash has been packing creatine somewhere in that backpack next to the hyper potions and Sitrus berries. 

Intriguing and Sometimes Inadvisable DIY Solutions


Human ingenuity is an amazing thing, especially when you're looking for DIY solutions on a budget. That said, welding together your very own chop saw is probably a bad idea if you don't know exactly what you're doing. Also, there are probably safer ways to haul a boat than tying it to your car. That's not to say these methods don't work. It's just often a better idea to choose the DIY solution that leaves you with fewer tickets and more remaining fingers.

People's Moments Of Pure Wonder While At Work


We've all experienced those moments amidst a typical day at work when it seems like nothing outside the ordinary is going to occur, and then suddenly, the floodgates open to let in complete chaos. Or, maybe it's not chaos as much as it is an unforgettable moment involving an impossibly clueless customer. Life loves to keep us on our toes. If anything, it can feel like the bigger surprises present themselves right when you're otherwise sinking into a comfortable routine.
