Why is it that so many people find opossums so relatable? Is it the fact that they're a sometimes adorable reminder of an ugly world? Maybe it's that in a sense we all feel like we're trashborne. Maybe it's the anachronistic reality of being an ancient, fuzzy, rat-tailed non-racoon with a mouth full of horrible teeth and the reputation of a coward? Who knows, but there's just something about them that says "us."
Some buildings are horrible to look at and other building decisions are just weird, bad and dumb. And then there's the kind of architecture that can actually destroy things and hurt people. Tumblr gets into the interesting work of Rafael Vinoly. For another story on artists of chaos, here's the story of the world's most hated elitist artist Anish Kapoor and his bean.
As far as stories about vegans stirring up some unnecessary drama goes, this one right here very well might take the cake. What we have is one wedding guest who is pretty much just minding their own business, only to later on be bothered by another belligerent vegan who naively assumes that they'll just be able to have another person's vegan meal. Well, that's not really how the world works. What is it with weddings bringing out the very worst in people?
Thanks to recent monsoon rains in Mumbai, the conditions were perfect for a sinkhole to open up riiiiight under some unfortunate person's car. True to its name, that sinkhole did what it does best. It's a little unnerving to imagine that at any time the ground could just open up and swallow whatever it wants, but what choice do we have? Should we not touch the ground? It's the ground.
Clearly, this gopher was just trying to get his work done for the day. Unfortunately (or fortunately for us), the pit bull had other plans in mind. I just love how calmly he continues to pester that gopher. The fact that things don't seem to escalate into any kind of dangerous situation is nice too. Just a couple pals muddling through a simple miscommunication problem.
While it'd be wildly easy to fake this whole situation, it's kind of a fun idea to entertain. Honestly, this video reminds us of that recent post about the dude who very well might've wandered into an artificial, government fabricated town. Like, if you ever find yourself in that situation, do you just proceed to have as much fun as possible with it, or what? I feel like that's the move. Shout out to TikToker @kilianandmaruta for this video though.
You can learn something new every day from the wonderful, ever wandering minds of the Tumblr world. In this case, we have a quick yet educational breakdown on why you definitely don't want to mess around with owls. If it seems like an owl has assumed an aggressive demeanor, and is pretty much squaring up against you...that's because it probably is. Honestly, picturing this particular owl swimming around a lake with those big eyes is already kind of terrifying. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr post about how random knowledge can end up being super clutch.
This isn't the first time that we've seen some beef break out in a parking lot over someone's inability to be a reasonable human being, and simply move their car out of the way. We're sure that it won't be the last time we see it either. In this case though, the customer clearly messed with the wrong dude. Just picturing the look of panicked wonder that must've flashed across this dude's face when he saw the ramifications of what he'd done. Oh boy. For another petty revenge-inspired parking lot drama check out this post about a parking lot bully who sniped a driver's parking space, and then the petty revenge that ensued.
Is that a toxic sludge spill or just a swan with its head in a pipe? Is that a yacht or a clothes iron? Is that a pyramid or an umbrella? Double take moments like these are a constant source of eye confusion and they'll never let up. There'll always be someone out there with their arm in just the right place to make it look like a butt. That's just the nature of skewed perspective.
Is "likeability" a totally inherent trait or is it a cluster of behaviors? Probably a little of both. Basically anyone who acts selfishly, lies a lot or stirs up unnecessary drama is going to be a hard person to be around. At the same time, some behaviors feel rude but really aren't. For a shortcut into people's values, one good test is always the shopping cart theory of morality.
History memes aren't for everyone. Maybe all the plebeians with their Slim Jims and reality television will have their minds sated by relatable content, but not the brooding, dour historian. No, the historians among us will only draw pleasure from history memes for the historically inclined. Yes, the only thing that can light up the brain of an enlightened one is history memes for the splendiferously learned. That and maybe some fancier, beefier Slimothy Jameses.
Anyone who has ever had some elderly neighbors knows that it can end up being an environment that's unfortunately ripe for dealing with all kinds of petty complaints. That goes without saying that not every old person is going to make a whole fuss out of having young neighbors. Just some of them. And oh boy, does this old lady sound like she was having a particularly moody day. Well, all that moodiness resulted in her getting called out pretty harshly. Maybe too harsh, or perhaps justified? You be the judge.
Some family members take on mythical status, be it from their longevity or antics. In some cases it's both. But really if someone is around for long enough they usually have a wealth of interesting qualities to reflect on. For example, this huge list of all the animals one tumblr user's grandpa brought home or this grandpa who hate banana bread he hated for years out of love.
Some customers love to take their bad attitudes due to whatever's going on in their lives, and then just stink up an otherwise peaceful establishment with all that negative energy. It sounds like this dude was nothing but trouble from the moment he walked in. Naturally, when he gets exactly what he wanted after pitching a nice rude temper tantrum, he gets even angrier. For another malicious compliance story, check out this rude customer who got his rightful comeuppance at an auto-salvage yard.
The world's in no short supply of rich, entitled, and painfully snobby individuals. Seriously, take a walk around the block and it's only a matter of time before you bump shoulders with someone who is living in a completely different reality from the rest of a rational and respectful society. Of course, there are plenty of people out there that have made their boatloads of money and didn't completely lose their moral compasses along the way. But that's not what this list is about. Nope, this list is about the dead giveaways that someone's a rich prick.
Man oh man, you've really got to feel it for anyone who is responsible for cleaning out those hotel rooms. People can tend to be absolute messy animals when it comes to what they'll do to a hotel room. This guy's stay at a hotel couldn't have been any more disastrous. We would've loved to have seen the look on his face when he realized what kind of destruction had been created by those dang seagulls. Like, absolute chaos. Most people would probably try to abandon the scene of the crime before any graver repercussions presented themselves.
Life is like a crayon box, and each color represents one of the many flavors of chaos. It's hard to predict what the next thing will be. Maybe you'll get a call that your home is flooded. Maybe you'll wake up to find that a steamroller has parked on your car. Maybe you'll just drop a cake. We learn to tolerate the misfortunes of life because we just kind of have to. So there's that.
It's honestly remarkable that the guy was able to fool the amount of people that he did. Literally all he was doing was sweating profusely on his chest and leaning back a bit. Apparently that's all it took to take people for a spin.
