It goes without saying that most people, to some extent, miss Robin Williams. And with this, the ability to see someone do such a damn good representation of the guy is not only mindblowing, but also takes us back to our childhoods in a way that we wouldn't expect while watching a man in rainbow suspenders doing impressions.
Carl Sagan was truly operating on a whole another level. With brilliance he was able to break down some of the most complex scientific topics, and then relay all of that dense information back in a way that many of us are actually able to make sense of. This speech might be one of the best he ever gave.
There are far too many shady individuals out there that are completely fine with unleashing damage upon people's property, only to try and make clean getaways. Fortunately, this TikToker was able to successfully film Karen before she decided to dip on out of the scene. Hopefully, Karen learns her lesson.
Halloween is right around the corner, and the spookiness is in full effect. Many a doorstep is outfitted with pumpkins that have paid fresh tribute to the cause. Halloween's also undoubtedly one of those seasons where people just love to get extra immature with everything. Sometimes, this can result in quite the onslaught of cringeworthy, or downright terrifying life situations. Hopefully this AskReddit thread serves to make you feel a bit better about any unfortunate times that you were on the receiving end of a Halloween prank that took things just a bit too far.
It's pretty common for involved dads to not be treated with the respect they deserve for taking care of their kids, to the point that they get called "babysitters" rather than full-on parents. Naturally, being treated condescendingly as a parent provokes its own kind of animosity. When this guy's kid's teacher demanded to speak to her mom, he thought, "fine."
As much as we love to see incompetent scammers who were their own worst enemies, the fact remains that they exist because some people still fall for them. The best thing we can do is waste their time, if not only to keep them from preying on actually vulnerable people, but because it's dang fun. This person in particular decided to do some trolling, because hey, every interaction is a gift.
In the professional world, it's important to know one's value. And some interviewers take the approach of trying to artificially lower the value of their prospective employees in order to get, like, a better deal or something? Some interviewers outright lie about what they'll offer, and others are straight up pyramid schemes. Here are some justified reasons people walked out of job interviews. For all those applicants out there, here are some job interview red flags to not overlook.
@jelenawoehr explains that apparently Tetris, and games like it, engage the eyes and brain in a way that can help people directly after experiencing a traumatic event. Don't go around thinking you can be a mental superman and undo every wild thing you see by booting up a Gameboy and slapping down a few colored blocks, or that Tetris itself can magically cure longstanding psychological trauma, but it's something, and the science is cool. For some more weird eye/brain junk to quote at a party later, here's the tumblr thread about how Magenta doesn't exist and it's just our brain doing its best.
Jobs are demanding, but should they be so demanding that employers can post memos denying their employees the ability to take time off for the holidays? It seems like a bit much, and it seems like one of those kinds of things that could lead to stories of how people quit their jobs with no notice. To make situations like this in your own life more avoidable, here are some job interview red flags to not overlook.
Man oh man, all of the world's maniacal managers really need to check themselves. It sounds like it was only a matter of time before this CEO's antics ended up catching up with him. It seems well within reason to suggest that this CEO clearly underestimated the importance of celebrating newfound friendships between hard-working employees. Check out another tale of malicious compliance, where a woman outwitted Karen the building manager with a greenhouse workaround.
The moment you leave your home and give yourself over to getting lost in that big ole crazy world, you open yourself up to all kinds of spontaneous fails that might present themselves. Travel itself can be a wonderful experience, that inspires all kinds of self growth. You'll regularly find yourself outside of your comfort zone. But hey, that's what it's all about. Maybe these people's crazy travel fails will make you feel better about any ridiculous moments of your own.
We're no strangers to wild and infuriating stories involving HOAs acting up with all kinds of toxic behavior. It sounds like this HOA (similar to many others we've read about) is definitely overstepping when it comes to their decision to try to tell a homeowner what they should do with their property. You can imagine how the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community felt about it.
It's hard to argue with technical accuracy. Even when something technically accurate might be factually untrue, it sure is compelling. And who are we to argue with someone's clever assertion about the nature of time, space, or the fact that during an earthquake, every coffin in the ground becomes a sort of maraca? They're technically correct.
It wouldn't be beyond reason to suggest that Neil deGrasse Tyson was blatantly unprepared for Bill Nye to pull through with a nice verbal jab after his lengthy rant about how consciousness doesn't exist. Like, take a seat, Neil.
Working a rough job can feel like a struggle to prove your own worth, but when this person found out that a new discount was literally coming straight out of their paycheck, they realized it was time to get down to some serious business. Good thing they had a particular coworker who knew how to not keep a secret. For another work triumph, here's the janitor who dressed up, got confused with his manager, and got his job.
