Local News Tries To Connect With Millennials, Cringe Tidal Wave Ensues


I just want to know who had this idea in the first place? Did they memorize a script, or just freestyle the whole thing. The mess of cringe in this video is enough to stop you in your tracks. They had to have hit the company happy hour extra hard after this one.

Foodie Only Eats Fancy Salt, Suffers Iodine Deficiency


As dumb as it seems, it is possible to suffer from a nutritional deficiency while maintaining a full-time job in a developed nation. Using big pink salt makes us feel cool, but it's also important to remember that there's a very real reason decided to add iodine to table salt decades ago. By all means eat the fancy pink salt, but for real, you need some iodine. For some dietary drama, here's an educational tumblr thread that kicked off after a vegan girl got served a real burger.

Stupid Ways People Accidentally Injured Themselves


People are good learners, but there are some lessons that are absolutely unnecessary.

Yet we still sustain dumb and embarrassing freak injuries because apparently, education is an ongoing process. 

Snake-Wielding Karen Gets Kicked Out of Pumpkin Farm, Business Responds


Sure, there might not be a sign explicitly saying "don't bring your snake to the pumpkin farm" but one could also argue that it's not encouraged.

40 Cake Fails That Are Unbelievably Funny | Cheezburger


Many of us have a deep appreciation for an impressively baked cake. You can feast your eyes on the attentive handiwork of someone who clearly had their act together enough to not completely mess everything up. Maybe you got so hopelessly lost in your feverish desires for more cake in your life that you actually got that wild idea in your head that you could go and bake a cake of your own. Then, suddenly, the baked creation that you once thought held such promise ends up coming out of the oven looking like one of those unforgettably monstrous cake fails.

From there, you have a couple different routes available to you. You can crack on and slice that cake wreck up, and proceed to eat it like there's nothing wrong with the picture at all. In all fairness, just because a cake looks like a disaster-piece doesn't mean that it's going to taste like a stomach-turning crime against cakes. The cake might even invite you back for excited seconds. Or, you can toss it in the trash and make a frantic, shame-ridden field trip to your nearest bakery where you'll be able to pick up a cake from someone who knew what they were doing.

The reality is that baking is its own kind of art form. It takes a whole lot of work to build up your baking skillset enough so that you're able to churn out cakes that you could genuinely envision people wanting to purchase from their local bakeries. The good news with all of this talk of cake fails though is that with enough time and patience, you too can level yourself up so that you're able to bake the cake that you deserve.

In the meanwhile though, it's more fun to celebrate people's various attempts at baking cakes, that ended up resulting in complete cake-tatstrophes. Sometimes, what you really need when you miss the mark on your own attempt at baking that next cake is to be gently reminded that there are plenty of people out there that are completely face-planting when it comes to their attempts at baking delectable cakes.

A good old-fashioned cake wreck can actually end up giving you that boost of confidence that you might've needed. You know, the boost of confidence that tells you that it's okay to fail because there's someone else out there who thought they'd just mosey on over to their local grocery store, pick up some cake baking ingredients, and throw together one of those birthday cakes for a friend... only to realize that their whole selfless journey was going to result in a cake monster. Maybe, all of these glorious cake fails will inspire you to go to such lengths that you actually try to throw a cake baking party, where you and friends intentionally tack on cake baking projects that are well outside your abilities, with the purest of intentions to fail in a blaze of frosted glory. And now, let's dive on into a pit of messy cake fails. 

Entitled People and Their Fantastically Bold Moves


It's not most people's first instinct to demand something for free and then badmouth a stranger when they don't get it. Most people don't try to file a police report because a medium-priced car is parked on their block. And most people don't get personally upset when complete strangers get a raise. But by definition, "most people" doesn't cover everyone. And when the entitled folks come out of the woodwork, we're all worse for it. For some delectable encounters, here are some shameless cheapskates who were their own worst enemies.

Food Memes To Satiate Our Deep Hunger For Laughter


Everybody's gotta eat. It's one of the only things that ties together our collective human experience on this planet. That's what makes food memes so dang relatable. Food isn't shameful. It's a need. So we should be open about our relationship with food and embrace it with humor. We're all public masticators, and we all swallow. 

Vegan Girl Gets Served Real Burger, Ignites Important Educational Tumblr Thread


There's no denying the fact that it can be a tiresome process muddling through a customer service gig. There will be days when it feels like time itself is stumbling along with literal ankle weights on. It very well might feel like you're never going to have that opportunity to clock out. The thing about it is though, that it's still crucial to make good on customers' potentially "extra" orders. Sometimes those specialized orders are set up the way they are because the customer is living with a life-threatening food allergy. Or, in this case, you have a vegan girl who was served a real burger by an inconsiderate dad. If someone hasn't eaten meat in a while it can throw their whole system into a state of shock. So, you might be able to imagine where the Tumblr thread ended up going. People got fired up. Check out some more Tumblr gems that glint in the moonlight over here.

Guy Breaks Up With Girlfriend, Tells Her To Move Out, Feels Guilty


At a certain point, you've just got to put yourself first. Especially when it comes to a relationship. If it seems like things are headed nowhere fast between you and your partner, it's only going to benefit everyone involved that much more if you call things what they are, and head on those separate ways. Of course, it's a process that might be easier said than done sometimes. Take this dude for instance. Things are clearly finished. Yet, he still feels some type of way about forcing his girlfriend to move out. I guess there's a layer to the story that makes it understandable: she is going to have to do a bit of a life reset.

When you hear that unmistakably polished, razor-sharp insult all that you can hope is that you're not on the receiving end of it. A rare insult is its own kind of art form.

That goes without saying, that this collection of the best insults that people have ever heard are definitely pushing it at certain times.

What Happens When A Water Bottle Hits Molten Steel


The world of metalwork is absolutely wild. For example, if anyone wanted to know how giant steel spheres are made, then you might wanna see this video of making a steel sphere with explosives.
