Dad Jokes That Took Things Father Than Ever


Dad jokes. Are the good? Are they funny even in the slightest? Do they have literally any value whatsoever? Dads sure seem to think so. The torrent of dumb puns and literalisms spilling forth from a dad when he's really on fire is something to behold. Again, not something exactly great to behold. But definitely something to behold.

Strangest And Scariest Things People Have Seen At Night


Nighttime has an uncanny knack for making a whole lot of everyday things seem exponentially creepier than if you'd simply seen them when it's light out. Our nerves can tend to be on edge when we're situated somewhere between the land of dreams and the waking state. With all of that being said, there's no getting around the fact that having a bear cruise up to your tent to press its nose up against your humble abode would be just a bit off-putting. 

Tacky Restaurant Gets Wrecked Over Abrasive Flyer


Whoever was put in charge of this restaurant's social media account clearly has some learning to do. They completely failed to deescalate the situation, and instead only ended up making themselves look a whole lot worse. They really should've expected nothing less after posting a pretty aggressive flyer. We're just grateful that the comments section delivered some sweet and satisfying gems. 

Tumblr Thread: When In Doubt Ask The World's Craftspeople


We love an educational post from Tumblr every now and again. In this case we have a wonderful Tumblr thread that pays homage to the world's craftspeople. You know, the people that gained their expertise through firsthand experience, and not necessarily what you can learn within the rigid confines of a textbook. This Tumblr thread might inspire you to reach out to those folks in your life that gained their wisdom through actual life experiences, and not what they picked up in the world of academia. For some more fun from Tumblr check out this thread about the ageless matriarch that is Mamaw. She's a gem that must be protected at all costs. 

Restaurant Owner Has Special Wing Sauce Just For The Complainers


There's always gonna be someone who says a thing isn't spicy enough. So why not give them an opportunity to fly too close to the sun and get burned? Some customers will stand by their bad decisions, like this customer who demanded an extra hot tea and actually accepted it. But sometimes customers are so rude with their demands that they get the royal treatment like this rude gentleman who demanded no ice and got less than that.

Tumblr Thread: Don't Mess With Fully Orbed Owls


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

Rude Customer Won't Move Car, Karmic Justice Ensues


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

Perspective-Twisting Images of Doubletakery


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.

History Memes That Are At Least Historically Funny


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.

Old Lady Complains About Young Neighbors, Young Neighbor Claps Back


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. 

Tumblr Thread: The Ageless Matriarch That is Mamaw


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.

Entitled Customer Demands Salt-Free Burger, Gets What He Asked For


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

Man Tells The Story Of Worst Hotel Stay Of All Time


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. 

James Randi Debunks "Magnetic People"


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. 

Design Fails That Put Things In Perspective


Human beings are problem solvers. But sometimes when we're designing a solution for one thing, our design failure results in a brand new problem. With something as simple as word placement or overzealous design, a sign for a window company can turn into a 40 foot long wiener. Anyway, some design fails deserve some blame.

Things That Are Way More Dangerous Than People Realize


Life is full of hazards and not every single one has a creepy warning sign to go with it. Even something as simple as a slug or a toothache is enough to put a person in the ground, and while it's unlikely to happen, it's important to know what we're all getting into on a daily basis. Stuff is just surprisingly dangerous, man.
