Tumblr Thread: Megalodon Horror Movie Should Be A Thing

Just in case you weren't already aware, Megalodons are an extinct species of shark that ranged between 15 and 18 metres. Basically, those underwater tanks were so massive and generally physically formidable that they'd have wreaked such havoc on blue whales that we'd end up seeing their population die off/get physically smaller for survival. Obviously, blue whales are huge. So, just the thought of that is a tad bit unsettling. Outside of what the Megalodons would do the ocean's modern day ecosystem, there does seem to be a lot of room for a creative take on some kind of Megalodon-inspired horror film. Hence, this Tumblr thread. 

Intriguingly Rare Populations People Are In The 1% Of

The world is big and there's a lot going on, so almost paradoxically,  a whole lot of rare and unlikely things happen. Not just that, many of us have some extremely rare quality or achievement that no one would have thought about before we mentioned it. (Side note, boy howdy do people have some unconventional diseases.) We're all subject to weird goings-on, so naturally we also have stories of strange events we can't explain logically. 

Wholesome Memes To Utilize The Feels

Our lives are swirling messes of responsibility, confusion and turmoil. So naturally it's easy to think ourselves into a corner, imagining that we're just put here to endure life's annoyances. But it's important to pull ourselves back and realize that a big part of life is appreciating the relationships we have and the progress we make. So why not enjoy some wholesome memes to reflect the nicer side of things? We can go back and be spiteful, callous sacks of stress whenever we want, but right now is the time for wholesome memes to give a little boost.

Co-Worker Scams Free Lunches Out Of People, Gets Called Out

Mooches are the worst. They plead and they whine and they often try to take advantage of other people's kindness. Then when they get caught up in their cheap little scams they cry out from their pity trains, and try to make the people that originally helped them out, to be the ones that are in the wrong. It's ridiculous, and a poor reflection of humanity. This particular choosing beggar co-worker got called out, and honestly it seems like it was a long time coming. 

AskReddit Thread: Red Flags For Problem Roommates

The last thing that you or anyone else wants to find themselves confronting is the grim realization that the new roommate is a literal waking nightmare. Unfortunately, it seems like so often some of the world's most insufferable human beings are that much better at putting on a whole carefully practiced act when it comes to tricking people into thinking that they're nice human beings. Hopefully this AskReddit thread that's filled with red flags for troublesome roommates will be all the information you ever need to never find yourself in hot water with a nasty roommate. 

"Not My Job" Moments of Occupational Ineptitude

As human beings, it's our duty to complete our jobs with the absolute minimum in mind. To some degree, we all pride ourselves on looking like we've done our jobs without making our general apathy and unprofessionalism too obvious. That said, we're not perfect and it can show in the form of "not my job" moments of dubious professionalism. But also, it's not like an upside-down stop sign is impossible to read.

Wild Employee Complaints That Turned Out To Be Legit

Every workplace is subject to whispered rumblings about dishonest or prohibitively weird coworkers. Some of these things go unfounded, but more often than not someone is stealing from the till, throwing tantrums in front of customers or just being incalculably anti-social. Some of these horrible coworkers people just have to endure. Some coworkers are so absurdly bad they get fired on the first day.

Highly Literal Moments of Technical Accuracy

We all like to think of ourselves as basically intelligent people. Does that mean that we're completely right about everything all the time? No, not really. We have the capacity to be right about most things, but the reality of knowing things is that it takes a lot of research. Why be totally correct when with a lot less effort we can be technically accurate and not incorrect? Empirical accuracy takes a second seat to the convenience of technically correct cleverness.

People Explain The Black Markets at Their Schools

It happened all the time. Some kid would start collecting walnuts that fell on school property, or a teacher would ban rubber bands, and all of a sudden there was a new schoolyard black market. It was a confusing, weird and stupid lesson in basic economics. For those aching for simpler times, here are the school memes for the mostly educated.

Guy Complains About Utilities Bill, Claims To Not Use Water, Takes Showers

Seriously, what was this guy on about? He goes out of his way to call the collections department at his water company, and then goes on an inspired riff about how he's definitely not using water, but also managed to take showers and use the toilet. Buddy, you did yourself in on whatever money-saving scam that you were trying to carry out, right there. I just wonder what was racing through his mind when he realized (hopefully) that he was not about to get any money knocked off his water bill. 

Entitled Folks And Their Laughable Antics

The fun thing about entitled people is that they never really seem to understand why everyone takes issue with their "suggestions." From this entitled mom who tried to swindle a babysitter to the many Karens of the world, what feels like it should be a learning experience never becomes one. The abusive landlords, demanding neighbors, insane bosses and random craigslist buyers out there just keep doing their thing, unfazed by the mountains of regular people telling them they're being ridiculous.

AskReddit Thread: Dumbest Things People Have Ever Heard

You can be out, just mindlessly strolling down the sidewalk, perhaps even with the slight tracings of a smile on your face, when suddenly you overhear someone spew something so profoundly clueless that you're stopped in your tracks. You might stand there, paralyzed in troubled wonder as you try to figure out how someone could ever end up so lost. But then, you either let it go (recognizing that everyone says something dumb at one point or another), or actually try to let them know what's up. Of course, if you choose the latter approach, just be ready for defensiveness. Such a response tends to accompany blind ignorance. 

Incompetent CTO Refuses To Fix Company's Security Flaw, Revenge Ensues

Literally, it's hard to comprehend the fact that this CTO possessed the puzzling level of ignorance that manifested in actually giving every employee at the company the same password. Like, do you want the company to get hacked, or what bro? It just seems like some kind of open invitation at that point. Really. Fortunately, for the company the CTO was eventually replaced. Hopefully the CTO learned their lesson. 

Stupid Items Dungeons and Dragons Players Exploited To Their Limits

It's hard to be a dungeon master. You can spend hours thinking of the perfect campaign, just to have players turn into murder hobos and spend hours fighting geese for bread. But where there is fantasy-fueled absurdity, there are also more emotional D&D moments like this total feels trip of a campaign or this guy's grandmother who fell in love with Dungeons and Dragons while battling cancer.

Daderrific Dad Jokes That Just Nailed It

With Father's Day right around the corner it's high time for us to sit back and enjoy some dad jokes. Oh boy, dad jokes. You've probably already heard your fair share at this point. When you hear a dad joke split the air make sure to pay close attention to everyone's reactions around you. Some people love their dad jokes, while others would just as much elect to never hear another dad joke ever again.
