Wholesome Moments That Show People Want to Be Nice


It's way too easy to look at the world and find selfishness, but it's also important to remember that people have an immense capacity for wholesome and selfless acts. It makes us feel like part of a whole to help anyone or anything in need. Wholesome memes drive home the fact that people are basically good.

Pig-Headed Developer Uses His Own Code, Loses 100% Of Company's Revenue


When developing something for a company, it's probably a good idea to include a way for that company to actually make money. This guy had a bone to pick with the existing code, which would have been fine if he could have actually provided a better solution. But he couldn't. And then he decided to double down. For another absurd tale from the realm of technology, here's a coworker who demanded a mathematically impossible computer and was proven incompetent.

Jeopardy Contestant Gets Harshly Burned For His Low Score


It's not too often that you see a gameshow contestant swing rope over getting a bunch of trivia questions right, but this interaction looks like it left a mark on Brad's soul.

Paul Rudd Shares His Talent For Turning His Hand Into A Butt On Talk Show


It's always just a little surprised and delighted when we're reminded of the fact that Paul Rudd is a bit of a weird dude. For example, when Paul Rudd went on The Graham Norton Show and wanted to share his talent for using forced perspective to make it look like someone is being visited by a large-assed naked person. If only more talk show banter was stuff people did on the bus in 6th grade.

Woman Billed $700 After Waiting In ER For 7 Hours, Leaving Without Treatment


According to Fox5: "A woman said she was billed for a trip to the emergency room, even though she didn't receive any treatment. Taylor Davis said she went to the Emory Decatur Hospital ER in July for a head injury.  She sat in the waiting room for hours, but with no end in sight, she decided to leave.  'I sat there for seven hours. There's no way I should be sitting in an emergency room.. an emergency room for seven hours,' she said." 

A few weeks go by and boom, Taylor received a bill for almost $700(!) from the hospital….the same hospital where she sat for 7 hours in the waiting room without even having her vitals taken. Interesting, very interesting indeed. Sounds like maybe there is a greater issue here at play, but that's none of our business. The field of medicine sees some wildly insane occurrences, like these absurd medical misconceptions or stupid things medical patients did that made it worse.

Things That Physically Hurt Way More Than They Should


We've all had the burden of living in human bodies for pretty much our entire lives. And while there are definitely a lot of convenient, comfortable, and nice things that go along with that, getting a leg cramp in the middle of the night makes most people wish they were a snake so they didn't have to deal with legs. From the stupidest injuries people have sustained to biting on a Dorito sideways, there are just some pains that could seriously tone it down a little.

Tumblr Thread: Ants And Their Fascinating Little Funeral Ritual


We're no strangers to the fact that ants are quite the fascinating bunch of mini beings to exist on this planet. They tirelessly work their asses off to get that bread, day in and day out. And they persist while clumsy gigantor human beings amble around, knocking their belongings all over the place, and carelessly stepping on their brethren. It can't be an easy life. In this Tumblr thread we get to learn a little bit more about the intriguing funeral process that ants enact. If you're looking for some more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr thread about becoming an ant god.

Funny Tweets To Mercifully Lift The Unamused Out Of Boredom


Like anyone else, if you sit with your own thoughts for more than 5 minutes, you tend to get scared and upset. With that, we've decided that a constant flow of funny tweets to build character and cultivate strength are a good way to avoid our own horrible thoughts. Seriously our internal monologues sound like a barn fire. Anyway, here are some funny tweets to quote at parties in lieu of having a personality.

Overrated Foods That Get Too Much Credit


On one hand, we fancy ourselves to be sort of knowledgeable about food, but at the same time we hate getting caught up in trends, especially when they're as stupid, meaningless and needlessly expensive as a 500 dollar gold-leaf covered burger. Getting excited over something that's only really okay is far too reminiscent of every day scams that people just accept, and we refuse to buy into pretending to enjoy something just because it's rare or "luxurious."

Mom Demands Refund From Artist After Discovering "Demonic" Imagery


It's gotta be hard enough as is taking commissions as an artist and trying to give customers what they want. But when the standards of "demonic" are running this high, there's no winning. Sure, art is subjective, but so is what counts as blatantly satanic, and this lady is gonna have a hard time getting her point across. For another fun customer interaction, here's a low baller who wouldn't pay for completed work, and the artist wasn't having it.

Company Refuses To Give Employee Raise, Employee Refuses To Do Extra Work


Honestly, it's hard to figure exactly what the company expected to happen when they went ahead and refused to give this employee a well deserved raise. Like, naturally people aren't going to want to fill their plates up that much more if they're not receiving the right amount of money for the heftier workload. So, it's no surprise that people in the comments section were in agreement that the employee wasn't in the wrong at all for holding their work "hostage."

Employee Buys Train Ticket, Furious Boss Demands They Buy Plane Ticket At 3X The Cost


Anyone who's ever worked for a big company has witnessed some insane wastes of corporate dollars, such as this time an employee was told to overlook a typo that ended up costing their company 90 thousand dollars. The weird thing here is that it really looks like management was just upset that an employee could get to have nice accommodations, even if they did get a deal. Well, it's their money, so they can do what they want.

25 Decimating Burns That People Hit Themselves With


Sure, anyone can come up with a rare insult to bruise people's egos, but it takes a true master of self deprecation to put themselves through devastating self roasts. You could call it humility. You could also call it a complete lack of self respect. But when people are done hitting others with spicy rare insults, they throw themselves through the roast gauntlet. It looks like it stings.

Customer Will Only Pay For Health Program If It Works, Gets Defensive


All this customer wanted was to have everything given to him before he paid for any of it. Is that so unreasonable?

Yeah, kinda. It also didn't help that when he was given a very logical explanation for why a nutrition and fitness plan isn't exactly something that has guaranteed results, he decided that he was being talked down to. By all means, take things as personally as you want to. For another unreasonable customer, here's a low baller who refused to pay for an artist's completed work.
