Tumblr Theory: Tony Stark Is The Strongest Avenger


Tumblr user suggests that Tony Stark is the strongest of the Avengers.

This Tumblr user is suggesting that Tony Stark might have a much higher pain tolerance than we ever realized. That, or the director's decided to paint the picture as they did, just to make it look cool. Not because it was indicative of Tony Stark having some kind of superhuman pain tolerance thing going on.

Wild and Dumb Stuff Teachers Confiscated


Dangerous, weird and stupid things confiscated by teachers.

Sometimes it was a normal thing that a teacher mistook for something else. Other times it was a living thing. Sometimes weapons, and other times just weird. It's strange to be an adult and realize how schools are just pure chaos with adults trying their best (sometimes) to keep things sort of in order. Here are people sharing the drama that became their school's "incident."

This Tumblr thread imagines a world where the infamous Addams Family decides to rent rooms out to broke college students. The hypothetical picture that ensues is hilarious and potentially accurate. Especially the part about how Wednesday and the Thing will find that thesis and critique it in every way possible. Yikes, indeed.

For another argument, here's a tumblr user absolutely schooling another on horses.

Employee Nuke Revenges Cult Leader Boss's Business


Employee sabotages a cult leader boss's business.

The emotional manipulation and toxic conditioning was present from the get-go with this "work opportunity." As it turns out, this employee found themselves in the middle of what sounds like a shady MLM ran by an emotionally manipulative cult leader boss with an affinity for using people to further their own gain, while selling them on the idea that it's for the collective good. Apparently this documentary helped the employee piece the disorienting and ultimately deceptive picture together.

Fiery Business Responses to Poor Online Reviews


Business owner responses to one star reviews.

People absolutely love leaving extremely critical, sometimes untruthful reviews of stores and restaurants. Sometimes it's even a lie made up by their competition. Business owners will go to bat online to defend their honor, like this guy who leveled with a customer who complained over buying a single dollar taco. Sometimes customers are lying to save face and the business brings in some critical details, like this tattoo parlor that had an epic response for an entitled customer.
