Dirt Bikers Trying to Climb an Impossible Hill


The Impossible Climb Andler in Belgium is a dirt bike challenge that has taken place 20 times, and it has never seen one totally successful attempt. Dirt bikers compete to try to get to the top of the incredibly steep hill, and usually get banged up in the process. In this 2019 event one rider got their front wheel across the finish line, but again, no one has ever officially made it to the top.

Tumblr Post: Male Beauty Standard Is Toxic


I mean, the fact that someone went so far as to tease Jason Momoa over his physical appearance is already unbelievable enough. From there, this quick and powerful rant from a Tumblr user does a solid job at covering how the male beauty standard perpetuated through certain parts of the bodybuilding community only serves to create unrealistic and deadly standards. 

This Tumblr post brings to mind the other Tumblr thread we've featured about how movies end up fueling unrealistic physical standards.

During a bodybuilding contest, these men's body fat is under 7%, they're dehydeated and covered in fake tan that helps the muscles show up. And it's literally only for that day, because it's extremely unhealthy. Same goes for actors who are known for being ripped - they're at their

This exact same shit happened with Vin Diesel few years ago with people getting a paparazzi shot of his "beer belly" and l'm genuinely worried of the young men who grow up in this society thinking being muscular means having defined abs 24/7. Jason Momoa looks ripped and healthy, yall are just blind with unrealistic standards.

Glorious Tales Of Petty Revenge


The proper petty revenge is a true art form. People hold on to all that pent up frustration and ultimately decide to unleash it in acts of pure pettiness. On the one hand, it's only creating more frustration for someone else, and just further fueling the cycle of anger; but on the other hand, petty revenge just feels so good. These tales of petty revenge might put a smile on your face.

I got a call from one of those annoying duct cleaning telemarketers and decided to take revenge. I acted very interested and told him that they were all very dirty after this mornings rain.

Text - Anyway, when I get out there, I cut all the grass, but with a focus toward leaving a path that is as baffling as possible. Sometimes I will attempt a checkerboard and then veer off into spirals, other times I will approach with an even more abstract eye. The grass doesn't seem to mind and I enjoy the challenge of thinking of new ways to traverse the lawn. Today I saw my neighbor standing out front with his fuckup grandson that got sent to live with him for some reason. He was complaining

It just didn't make any sense how quickly these different products emptied. He used them more than I did.

I chose the toothpaste tube, because it was almost empty, I took a straw and poured a bit of salt inside. Since the toothpaste had already some kind of crystals inside, it was perfect for the salt crystals to blend in the mix. I placed the tube back where it was and waited for him to go brushing his teeth. There he went a bit before midnig

Well-Meaning Boob Waters Fake Plants for Months


This person thought they were doing a great job of keeping their succulents alive until they had to be told their thumb wasn't so green after all. Apparently this is a pretty common occurrence? At least it still looks nice. Either way, there are loads of instances where people realize obvious stuff way too late.

1.

Text - O r/tifu - Posted by u/Rashional3 1 day ago TIFU by watering plastic succulents S I've always found it nice to keep some succulents by the windowsill. They are easy to care for and add a little greenery to my room. Back in October I decided to spend $20 on a set of 4 small succulents. When they arrived, I organized them carefully on my windowsill as planned.

2.

Text - I know succulents don't need much water, so I'd only water them once every 3 or so weeks. I found it odd that the water did not really disintegrate into the soil, instead floating as a little pool at the top, but I figured they were just small and didn't need much water. I left school for a month over Christmas break and was worried how my succulents would hold up without water. Much to my delight, when I came back, they looked as healthy as the day I bought them! How resilient of a plant

3.

Text - I continued watering the succulents for months - each month giving just that right amount of water that would float at the surface of the soil like a pool and then disintegrate. I must be doing a great job, I thought, because they still look great 8 months after purchase. I took real internal pride in my little succulents. Until the day my girlfriend told me they were fake.

4.

Text - "These are plastic!" she said when she tried to water them for me for the first time. "Look, if you look closely you can see the glue." "Wait.. what?" After a quick moment of introspection, I thought back to all the evidence. I confirmed on amazon that they are indeed "realistic-looking artificial". Smh. TL;DR: I bought plastic succulents and watered them for 8 months until my girlfriend noticed they were plastic.

Entitled People and Their Unrealistic Demands


Whether it's because they think haggling is just an excuse to abuse people, or have irrational expectations about the world around them, entitled people will continue to fill the world with their unreasonable demands. Sometimes it's a boss who expects you to work on the weekends for free, other times it could be a total stranger who thinks that it's a reasonable request for you to ship your dog to them so they can pet it. Entitled people just keep making laughable demands. Sometimes entitled people even go full Karen.

Girls Try To Team Up Against Roommate, Roommate Goes Nuclear


They should've picked their battle a whole lot more carefully. It sounds like these girls were a couple toxic and entitled roommates, in dire need of a reality check moment. Well, as things escalated, and one thing led to another, their roommate certainly beat them at their own game. Sounds like everything came undone for them. And really, it seems like that was the deserved outcome.
