Nataliia Zharkova Completes Absolutely Bonkers Free Dive


You've got to appreciate how they made sure to give her some time to collect her breath after completing the free dive, and before celebrating. Just consider how many breaths you might've clocked while she was doing her whole dive sequence. 

Seagull Gives Girl On Sling Shot Ride A Face High Five


The sling shot ride itself already looks thrilling enough as it is without a seagull dropping in to say what's up to your face. Clearly, this poor girl was rattled to her core. We're just glad that everyone appears to have exited the chaotic collision of forces without being injured. 

Professions Where Overhearing "Oops" Is A Worst-Case Scenario


There are certain jobs in this world where the room for inevitable failure is far more forgiving than others. If anything, it's an AskReddit thread like the one we have here that could deepen your appreciation for the trivial moments of error that you've encountered throughout your gig that seemed so important at the time. The reality is that things can pretty much always be worse. 

Aunt Dismisses Jellyfish Museum's Warnings, Gets Stung, Wants To Sue, Gets Called Karen


It really sounds like the jellyfish museum was trying to help this woman out, but for whatever reason she decided to adopt quite the stubborn rule-breaking attitude. Naturally, this attitude results in her acquiring the very painful jellyfish sting that she was warned about. And then she proceeds to want to sue the museum. This call for a suing gave way to her being labelled a Karen. So, the question here is whether or not the person who called the Aunt a "Karen" was in the wrong. Folks in the comments section seem to be in agreement that this wasn't so out of line. Of course, nobody likes being labelled a Karen. The thing about it is, when you live down to the stereotype, being labelled a Karen shouldn't be such a wildly unexpected turn of events.

Inventions That Are Hardly Ever Used For Their Intended Purpose


One of the things that makes human beings unique is our ingenuity. For example, the famous cookie tin/sewing kit. A variety of medications, toys and uh, personal products are inventions that are now used for something other than their intended purpose. That doesn't make them any less useful. It means people are good at adapting. People are also pretty dumb, which is why we have so many brilliant ideas that were stupid upon review.

Citizens Of The World Bond Over Their Potholes On Twitter


As citizens of the world, we may not all speak the same language or have exactly the same values. But one thing we can all agree on is that we all resent the state of our infrastructure. After NoContextBrits insinuated that they had singularly bad roads, everyone chimed in in a display of funny yet extremely damning examples of the world's collective road quality. Potholes, sinkholes, and tomato-infested roads abound. For some driving themed insanity, here are some incompetent drivers who should be banned from the road.

Man Assumes Literal Fire Is A Feature Of His Computer, IT Intervenes


What in the world would people do without IT? Seriously. Just take the guy that we have in this humorous tech support tale. For whatever reason he was leading a life where he assumed that flames erupting from his computer were a totally normal and acceptable function of the device. Well, it sounds like even after the IT dude showed up to smooth over the issue, the guy still left the interaction puzzled by why there wasn't a "stop the smoke" button. For another tech support tale check out the time that a man assumed his computer would work during a power outage.

Entitled People With Their Bold Behavior and Audacious Demands


What would life be without a neighbor threatening to trap your cat because it sits on her car at night? Why should we all be free to go about our days without hearing from the entitled people and total Karens who are ready to call the cops because they didn't get a free cookie with their purchase? Variety is the spice of life, but entitled people are the metal shavings one finds in their BLT.

Tenant Gets Property Owner's Car Towed, Property Owner Hatches Pro Revenge


This isn't the first time that we've seen people turn into complete animals over a parking space squabble. In this case though, the villain of the pro revenge story vastly underestimated who she was playing games with. Basically, when she decided to go ahead and have the property owner's car towed she set in motion a pro revenge plan that'd result in her ultimate demise. For some more parking lot drama check out the time that Karen took her sweet time in a handicapped parking space, and then proceeded to get blocked in

Ex Boyfriend Won't Return Woman's Stuff, Woman Wants To Sell His Stuff


Controlling behavior is gross. Everyone's just out there trying to lead their lives without having to deal with the terrible manipulative tactics that some of the world's more toxic individuals insist on carrying out. It sounds like this guy chose to go down the post-breakup route where he was trying to keep the flames of a relationship that had flickered out alive, by keeping the phone line open for nasty arguments. Yikes, man. With all of that context being covered, it's no big surprise that this woman and her friends found themselves thinking that selling the guy's stuff was the move after the way he chose to handle things. Especially because he got rid of her stuff. If anything, seems like she dodged a real bullet. 

Tantalizing Tumblr Nuggets That Are Deep Fried In Humor


The wonderful and wandering minds of Tumblr provide a ceaseless stream of funny and outright bizarre observations about all corners of life.

Anyways, enjoy these Tumblr gems and keep on Tumblin. 

Chef Modifies Dish To Account For Food Allergy, Customer Gets Mad Over Confusion


Those brunch and lunch and dinner rushes can get extremely busy out of nowhere. As a server, one moment you might find yourself trying to waste away the time left on your shift by folding a mountain of forks, spoons, and knives into beds of napkins, and the next moment you might find a literal tidal wave of hungry and impatient customers stampeding through the restaurant's door. It can pay off if you're already naturally inclined to keep cool under pressure, because it's only a matter of time before someone stages a full on temper tantrum in a restaurant. In this case though, it sounds like the chef was really just trying to make the correct moves based off the information they had. The ball kind of falls back in the server's court for failing to tell the chef exactly who needed the modified dish. 

IT Guy Travels From US To London To Install Toner Cartridge


Get enough technology-phobic people involved in a profitable industry, and boy you've got yourself a recipe for wasteful shenanigans like this tale of an employee who traveled thousands of miles to fix a printer on Christmas. As long as someone else's incompetence and wastefulness ends in your own impromptu vacation, things aren't too bad. For some more rare pleasantness from the world of IT, here's a wholesome IT bro who fixed a guy's destroyed laptop.

Dude Makes Chill Seal Friend


They say not to approach seals at the beach, but when one comes up and wants to hang out, there's not a lot you can do to keep it away. This guy has somehow acquired the mystical animal magnetism of a Disney Princess, and we're jealous. That or he smells like food.

Dude Mistakenly Asks Richard Feynman Why Magnets Are Attracted To Each Other


Richard Feynman is clearly not the guy to ask about why magnets are attracted to one another. That is, unless you want to sit back and watch him serve up a seven-course feast of undercooked word bits about everything except for why magnets are attracted to each other/repel.
