Tree Cutter Straddles Himself To Safety


There are times when all we can do is look around at the potential tree-chopping catastrophe we've just avoided and think to ourselves, "yeah I meant to do that." If not to save face after making a risky decision, but to just help us sleep at night. This guy could've had a far worse day than he did, but it just so happens he's good at balancing.

Rottweiler Picks Fight With German Shepard, German Shepard Silently Checks Rottweiler


This German Shepard didn't even need to let out a bark to make their commanding presence known. Seriously. Probably a situation where the German Shepard was all bite and no bark. Thank goodness things didn't escalate any further. 

Norwegian Guy Steals Mayor's Moment By Cutting Ribbon


This guy couldn't be bothered to respect the mayor's time to shine. I just wonder what the conversation was like after that ribbon was cut. Couldn't have gone down too smooth. 

Foreman's A Stickler About Punctuality, Employee Wastes An Hour Of Their Time


So, apparently the best course of action when you find yourself confronting the unfortunate reality that is having a foreman who is a completely helpless stickler with punctuality, is to quit and waste an hour of their time in the process. Clearly, this employee hit their breaking point. What ensued was definitely a deeply satisfying act of petty revenge. For another recent tale of revenge check out the time that a truck vandalized a mailbox, so a bunch of engineering students crafted a superhero mailbox.

Cursed and Weird Images From The Abyss of The Internet


Sometimes, we don't know what we're in the mood for. We don't know if we want to laugh, cry, or get angry. But that's okay, because being creeped out is just something that happens on it own, especially in the case of cursed images to feel weird about. So tuck into some strange and cursed images of internet weirdness and bask in the no-context freakishness of the world at large.

Entitled Dad Leaves Kids On Plane With Stranger, Ends Up Wholesomely


You can only hope the person you abandon your kids with is someone with professional childcare experience. While it's a not-so-noble dad move to foist the burden of your children onto a stranger, it's something else entirely to get furious around firearms, like this entitled dad who was furious his son needed permission to hold a gun. For more airplane shenanigans, here's a flight attendant's wildest stories.

The Dumbest Business Ideas People Have Seen


We all have brilliant ideas that are dumb upon review. We've all had dreams of starting a restaurant that only sells soup in fishbowls or whatever. Some of us just go ahead and spend a few hundred grand on that idea before realizing that it was stupid. Also, how do people keep thinking pyramid schemes are a good idea? At least there's something to be gleaned from learning about horrible but common financial decisions that people make.

Choosing Beggar Agrees On Price, Tries To Change It, Reality Check Ensues


Oh boy, these wildly entitled choosing beggars just keep coming right on out of the woodwork. It sounds like this choosy beggar was carrying themselves in such a way where it was only a matter of time before they got the necessary reality check. Maybe they should go and have a conversation with their manager about how 17 bucks for 10 hours of work could actually be a legitimate transaction. Check out some more entitled people who made the world a less friendly place over here.

Cheaters Describe Why They Cheated In The First Place


All the tea is being spilled in this AskReddit thread that has cheaters describing the various reasons that they decided to cheat in the first place. Cheating on a partner is one of the lowest things a person can do. Honestly, these are just plain old brutal. Hopefully they can serve as some motivation for other folks out there to never cross that line. 

People's Awkward Moments Of Facepalming Cringitude


They say that we only use 10% percent of our brainpower at any given time. The reality of this is that we totally can use 100% of our brain at once, but it's called "having a stroke." Long story short, it's safer to use less brain at any given time. And these folks, with their goofs, blunders and facepalm moments, were about as safe as it gets. For some straight up dumbness, here are facepalm moments made possible by the brutally stupid.

Tumblr Thread: Scientists Have Terrific Superstitions In The Lab


We're all superstitious people to some extent. One would assume that scientist and lab techs, whose jobs depend on objectivity and scientific rigor, would be the most rational at work. But nah, everyone's got their good luck charms. Be they Taiwanese snack foods or happy meal toys, these are the things that keep the machines running, sort of. For some more fun science junk, here's the sciences judged on lickability and a tumblr thread on why frogs have got weird bones.

Mom Makes Husband Go Alone With Kids To Disneyland, Asks If She's A Jerk


The thing about telling someone what they're going to be doing without taking any input at all is that it has a tendency to make that person that much more upset. Like, honestly, what did mom expect was going to happen in this whole scenario? Clearly, things were bound to pretty much shake out one way, and one way only. 

Tumblr Thread: Humans Are Space Orcs


We absolutely love it when this Tumblr thread makes its rounds. The whole concept is pretty dang fascinating. Basically, humans could very well be looked upon with nothing short of horrified fascination by an alien race, strictly because we do things like harm our planet. If you got a kick out this Tumblr story, check out another Tumblr thread about how the yarn community is filled with fiery drama.

Teen Calls Aunt Out At Dinner For Having Favorite Kid


It sounds like the Aunt was in the wrong on this one. Basically, the aunt was carrying out just the kind of behavior that ended up being very embarrassing for herself. Some people respond better to the swift and brutal reality checks than others. Plus, it sounds like this environment/timing might've been a bit dicey. With all of that being said, folks in the comments section seemed to be in agreement that the aunt getting called out was completely called for.

Big shout out to the cameraman that had to tag along for this wild ride with Gordon Ramsay. He crushed it.
