Tumblr Thread: Teacher's Great Dihydrogen Monoxide Lesson


The ol' dihydrogen monoxide gag has been a mainstay of internet culture and beyond for years. The only thing better than that first aha moment of getting it the first time is duping other people with it. This person takes it a step further with their 7th grade class. For some serious teacher cleverness, here's a teacher who used gummy bears to fight the power.

Senior Manager Gets Employee Fired, Employee Digs Up Manager's Dirty Past


If you have skeletons hanging out in your closet, it's probably best to not make it your personal mission to get an employee terminated over a whole bunch of nonsense.

The Worst Foods People Have Eaten


Food is one of the great joys of life. But when it goes wrong, cursed food can quickly become one of its great terrors. Sometimes we eat stuff that sucks to be polite guests, sometimes we don't realize what we're eating is gonna be bad, and sometimes we're just stupid.

Whether it's arguing with Buzz Aldrin about the moon landing or getting keys stuck in an armored car, the bar lowers every day for facepalm moments from humanity's best and brightest.

Wealthy-Privileged Girlfriend Lies About Her Lack of Living Expenses From Boyfriend For Two Years, Watches Him Struggle on Unemployment


This is probably a deal breaker. To go for two years without divulging something as big as your living expenses to your partner is just a level of broken trust that I just can't see a relationship recovering from. He has every right here to walk away without regrets. It must really hurt to realize that your partner was secretly wealthy and just pretending to commiserate with you the entire time you were struggling on unemployment. 

Honestly sounds like something that could be covered in a modern Seinfeld episode and not for good reasons. Totally the AH here. 

Not quite as bad as this entitled girlfriend though: Wealthy-Entitled Classist Girlfriend Thinks It's Ok to Wear Little-To-No Clothing Around Her Staff, Doesn't Care if She is Making Them Uncomfortable

Weird and Self-Defeating Failures of Design


It's easy to overlook a potentially destructive error. Any one of us could have accidentally installed that toilet in the center of a room or chose Disney font for a funeral home. Okay, maybe most of us would haven't let that slide, but we all know someone who would. There are a fair share of design failures that deserve some blame.
