Dudes Take The "Dumb and Dumber" Mini Bike Aspen Road Trip


Few of us wanted to live-out many of the scenes of Dumb and Dumber, but if Harry and Lloyd could make it to Aspen on this "hog," these guys thought they could to. Spines and mini-bikes weren't built for this. A few tire changes and a brake adjustment later and they made it to aspen on about 7 gallons of gas. It's surprisingly wholesome, especially since they didn't kill a man in a diner or give a blind kid a dead bird.

Technically Accurate Moments That Are Almost Stupid But Not Quite


We are people who want answers. Sometimes the factual answers we crave aren't readily available, and it's a whole lot more satisfying and easy to just get clever about it.

Cursed, Creepy and Weird Images From The Abyss


Fear is the oldest emotion there is. And with that, there's a lot of stuff out there to feel weird and uncomfortable about. It doesn't even take that much for us to find something amiss.

It doesn't even have to be all that sinister in the case of cursed images of internet weirdness.

Camper Karen Expects Free Tie-Dye Shirt, Gets Denied, Has Temper Tantrum


I mean, this sounds like one awesome park ranger. He totally could've played that a different way, taken the side of camper Karen, and actually gone ahead with giving a perfectly peaceful, reasonable couple a hard time over nothing. However, instead he leaned right into the completely righteous revenge of reporting camper Karen for her loud and obnoxious music.

Frustrating Things People Turn Into Their Whole Personality


Liking things is good. It's important to like things. But as people, it's easy to get so wrapped up in our own likes and dislikes that we alienate those around us. One's obsession with their Jeep or their 9 dollar health shakes can get to the point where it becomes a personality trait people can't stand. Also grown adults who are way too into Disney are weird.
