Choir Perfectly Imitates A Thunderstorm, Then They Sing


This is art at its best. Definitely don't see something like this everyday. Mother nature would be proud.

Naval Officer Pulls Off Amazingly Lazy Move


Sometimes laziness inspires acts of pure, admirable genius. Take this naval officer who quite simply couldn't be bothered to give a dang, and thus went about pulling off the kind of lazy move that most anyone can appreciate. Man sounds like a true visionary.

Tumblr Thread: Dude Gets Schooled On Car Safety And Physics


This guy got a quick lesson in physics, and that is that physics ain't tossing out any freebies.

Text - princealigorna And this is why we used to make cars out of STEEL instead of FIBERGLASS! Sure, fiberglass is a lot lighter in weight and hence a hell of a lot better for gas mileage. But you hit anything at more than 20 mph and the entire body explodes off the fucking thing, and now you're spending more to repair the car than it's worth because you need a entire front end, read end, or side panel. They can't just take the damaged section off, beat it out with a hammer, sand it, and repaint

Text - becausedragonage You guys are obscenely, dangerously wrong. It's not planned obsolescence, it's physics. Modern cars crumple to absorb and distribute the forces of impact in an accident in an effort to protect the occupants. When cars didn't have those crumple zones, the oc- cupants, being the soft, squishy things they were, took those forces and were mangled or killed in horrible ways. Also, those older cars took hidden damage that often went unnoticed and made them very dangerous to dri

Text - I recently watched a TV show where a small sedan was run over by the trailer of an eighteen-wheeler. Run. Over. They had to unwrap the crumpled ball of a car from the undercarriage of that trailer. Guess what? The driver suffered only minor injuries because the car collapsed in exactly the way it was designed to so that she, in the very strong frame surrounding the passenger compartment, was protected. And no, don't thank capitalism for these modern cars. Thank Ralph Nader and countless o

Motor vehicle - GIF GIF by blazepress I'm an estimator for a major insurance company which means I spend all day, every day, around wrecked cars. I've been to the NHTSA, I've attended a crash test. I have actually seen and put hands on both the vehicles in the .gif above. The idea that old cars are somehow built better or are “tanks" or whatever is not only wrong, it's dangerous. New cars are built to "crunch" so you don't have to.

Land vehicle - This is the 59 Bel Aire post crash - notice that the area where the driver sits is significantly compromised. The person driving this car would have died in this 35mph crash.

Land vehicle - This is the Malibu - crunched? Yes! But the area where the driver sits is not crushed. I have seen modern cars keep people alive in horrifying accidents. Cars are objectively better and safer in every single way than they were 10, 20, 30 years ago. Anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong. Period. Also modern passenger cars are definitely not made of fiberglass. What even?

Entitled Influencer Expects Free Clothing


These influencers just keep coming on out of the woodwork with their dispositions of unreal entitlement. In this case, the influencer expects free clothing due to their "influence." Well, listen up, sis, that's not how businesses work. 

1.

Text - Wait so since you already have the Saree then how is it costing you more money? You're not paying me to do it. You're missing my point. I spent money to get the Saree so then I can sell it to make money. If I just give it to you then I'm not going to make money on that Saree. Do you understand?

2.

Text - But you already bought it so you own it so how are you losing money? It's literally free advertising! Do you know how business works? It seems you don't understand the concept but I don't time to explain it to you so I'm not interested, sorry. Wow! Seems like you don't know how to run a business! Ugh you won't be successful with that kind of attitude!!

Text - We'll see about that and you need a reality check with your delusion of how a business works. Good luck trapping someone else with your "influence" Listen! I can ruin your business in a heartbeat sis! Keep that nasty attitude up and you'll fail!!

Supervisors Try To Make Employee Look Bad, Employee Turns The Tables


Can't argue with the receipts. Sounds like these supervisors were all kinds of toxic and nasty. So, the employee pivoted, and managed to turn the tables on them. Can't imagine what their faces must've looked like, when they were embarrassed in front of those clients.

Text - r/pettyrevenge u/foxgotsocks • 1y + Join Supervisors Tried to Make Me Look Bad, So I Made Them Look Worse I'm an attorney and used to work at a state government office, where I had two supervisors, one for my practice group and one for my section, who from the very beginning decided to make it their business to treat me like shit. Section Chief had a habit of sitting on client questions for days, then assigning them to me. Then, when the client would inevitably ask why it was taking so lo

Text - working on that stuff, making it look like the delay was my fault. Similarly, Group Supervisor's favorite cockweaseltry was to try to get me in trouble with both clients AND higher-ups in our office for not doing things fast enough, despite the fact that she would procrastinate for weeks on reviewing/signing off on work I actually did very fast indeed. But what these hosebeasts did not know! Was that a) I was saving all the emails they sent me that would include information like dates the

The client was supposed to answer the records request within a tight deadline under the law, and eventually emailed Group Supervisor to ask where the hell their answer was. Group Supervisor finally woke up and forwarded her original email assigning me the work to Section Chief to complain that I didn't do it in good time. And then Section Ch

Text - 1. Reply All to Section Chief's email to Client, attaching my email to Group Supervisor containing the draft response. T innocently wrote, "Apologies for the inconvenience, Client. Our office rule is to wait for supervisory sign off before providing advice, but l've nevertheless attached draft advice prepared on [date]. Group Supervisor and Section Chief, do you agree with this advice? May Client act upon it?" 2. Forward that response to Former Boss and very politely ask him, "In instance

Text - The client ended up praising me for my "efforts to get a response to him in a timely fashion." And Former Boss thanked me for my question but said it should never be an issue in the first place, then sent out an office-wide notice to remind supervisors that they must provide necessary sign offs on advice within deadlines and must never blame those under them for delays in front of clients because that affects the image of the whole office. He attached the emails in my matter as an

Text - example of what supervisors should not do. So literally everyone saw what incompetent assclowns they were. TL;DR Shit bosses tried to get me in trouble with a client for something that was completely their fault, so I pulled receipts and made them look bad in front of not only the client but our entire office of hundreds of attorneys. 11.4k O 262 1 Share

Moments People Realized They Weren't Kids Anymore


Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the moments people have experienced where they realized they weren't kids anymore. As we grow up, many of us look back on the days of our youth, longing for that simpler time when worries were nonexistent altogether. Or if there were worries, they were completely silly and of little importance at all. Some of these might strike a chord.
