Musician Defies Limits Of Human Body During Trumpet Solo


This is one of those videos that can leave the viewer feeling out of breath. Just take the moment to think about how relieved this guy must've been when he'd wrapped up that solo in glorious fashion. Can't even begin to imagine. 

Turkish Reporter Talks To Mushroom Instead Of Microphone


There's something innately charismatic about someone who is clearly able to not take this whole life thing too seriously, and just laugh at themselves. This dude's clearly riding that wave.

This kid is making waves on the internet for his hilarious, unapologetically ruthless analysis video where he swiftly dismantles the New York Jets offense. This kid clearly needs to do more of these. Shoutout to his TikTok @td.sports.

Design Fails That Need A Little Work


Listen, none of us want to do our jobs. And when we're forced to do them, you can bet your sweet bippy that we're gonna try not to do our jobs well. This line of thinking has led to some great moments in the field of design, particularly these design failures that could have used some effort. Not sure why people seem to have a problem with these, they look perfectly crappy to us.

Company Says They're Not Getting Documents, Recieves Hundreds


Dealing with a bureaucracy is a pain. But dealing with a lazy incompetent bureaucracy that doesn't care about doing their job? That's just a living nightmare. It comes down to power plays about who can inconvenience who more. And when the only control you might have is someone's fax machine, you get stories like this guy who incapacitated a divorce lawyer's fax machine.

Conor McGregor Attempts First Pitch At Cubs Game, Fails Hard, Gets Dragged On Twitter


I really sincerely hope that Conor McGregor didn't intentionally attempt to throw so unexplainably terribly just to garner that much more attention online. I hope that what we have on our hands here is nothing short of a spectacular fail from a loudmouthed UFC fighter who clearly doesn't have the whole baseball thing figured out. 

Twitter Thread: The Tale of The Rock of Chickamauga


It's pretty easy to say the civil war wasn't a very fun time. Here's the epic and intriguing tale of the Rock of Chickamauga, when George Henry Thomas kept the Union Army from being routed. It's important to know things, which is why we take interest in history memes for the enlightened lords of time. For some natural history, here's an intriguing twitter thread on how the Appalachians are older than most things.

Not So Fun Facts To Provide Context For Our Dark Lives


Life can be as depressing as we want to make it. So depending on how compelling you find not fun facts, you might be artificially making reality worse for yourself than say, your coworker who spends their whole break looking at cat adoption photos. You could remind them about some choice statistics on cat adoption, but then you would be the bad guy. So sorry, you're between a disappointing rock and an even more disappointing hard place. If you want to be less of a bummer, here are some happy facts.

Rare Insults That Dunked People In A Hot Bath Of Fiery Words


Since the internet's been around with its social media feeds and comments section we've always had people that are more than ready to go to verbal blows over a whole bunch of nothing. Or, you might say that every now and again there's that one loudmouth in particular who basically seems to bring the heat on themselves. These rare insults certainly didn't disappoint. They're inspired, ruthless, and you almost might not feel bad about laughing at them. 

Shameless Cheapskates Who Were Their Own Worst Enemies


When trying to secure a discount exercise bike, one has two options. The first is to politely offer a reasonable amount of money, or just the outright amount that the seller is asking for. The other way is doing whatever these people did. Demanding free things, bullying people, and just being hugely entitled people who decided to make the world a more miserable place.

Caller Tries To Get Tech Support To Help Commit Tax Fraud, Fails Miserably


The individuals in this world that are caught up in the work grind of tech support really get put through the ringer. With technological advancements continuing to kick along at the rate they are it's unfortunately pretty much inevitable that there are going to be people that fall through the cracks, when it comes to knowing how to navigate all the cutting edge machinery. Sometimes though, it's not even a matter of the technology being too impressively advanced. If you got a kick out of this tech support tale check out a couple others. We've got a solid story where a coworker demanded a mathematically impossible computer, and then got proven incompetent. Or you can sink your teeth into a tale about an angry lady demanding one billion GB of email storage.

Man Receives Lifetime Contract From Company, Rejects Brother-In-Law's Offer, Drama Ensues


The whole premise of receiving a lifetime contract offer from a company that you sunk your heart and soul into seems like a pretty exciting situation that's well worth celebrating, and probably taking. Especially in this day and age with things being as chaotic as they are. So, when this guy hit the AITA community to ask whether or not he was in the wrong for rejecting a competing offer from his BIL, you can imagine what folks had to say in the comments section. Really, the family should've just been supportive of the offer coming through in the first place. But hey, you be the judge. 

Overbearing Coworker Demands Employee Come In On Day Off


It sounds like this person's coworker is out there crossing all kinds of lines. The best course of action does indeed sound like it'd be to go ahead and report them to HR, or run it back to the supervisor. Otherwise, someone like Irma might just carry on with the inappropriate antics. The thing about people that take time off is that they're well within their right to not be summoned to come to work --- especially by someone who isn't even their supervisor in the first place. 

Red Flags People Missed In Their Past Relationships


Many of us have ended up gaining that wizened life experience through suffering our own moments of emotional pain where things just seemed to kind of cave in on themselves. Then, eventually, you go about putting yourself back together and take another crack at the whole thing. Sometimes, this falls within the dating realm. This AskReddit thread has people sharing various red flags that they missed in their past relationships. At the very least this thread might be able to help other folks steer clear of impending disasters. 

Woman Narrowly Avoids Getting Hit By Train


It's no wonder that this video serves as a safety warning for anyone out there that wants to get bold with rushing across the tracks when a train's about to rip through. The thing about those trains is their speeds are terribly hard to account for. No matter what the rush might be inspired by, it's never worth it taking that risk. This woman got insanely lucky.
