Wholesome Memes for a Healthy Boost

The world can seem like a daunting place, but it's good to be reminded that things aren't completely horrible all the time. It's probably better for most of us to get some wholesome memes as a reminder that some things are still nice. They're like little happy vitamins for the soul.

Kid Goes Nuclear On Dad In Monopoly

Anyone who has ever played a game of Monopoly with their family knows firsthand how wildly competitive those games can end up being. Tempers can flare up and soar through the roof. Tears can be spilt. Grudges can be created. Monopoly is just one of those games that manages to bring out the very worst in people. With that being said, this kid's brutal blow to his dad during their game of Monopoly is the stuff of legends. Don't think dad will be talking to them for a while.

1.

Text - r/tifu + Join u/SqueakyCleanNoseDown • 15h TIFU by using the nuclear option in a game of monopoly. M It was a four player family game of Monopoly. My brother, our parents and I were playing, and I wasn't doing well. I wasn't bankrupt or heavily mortgaged yet, but I could tell that if something drastic didn't change in the next 3 turns or so, I was toast. I didn't have any monopolies, but I did have a couple 2 out of 3 properties (New York and St. James being the standouts) and a couple sc

2.

Text - I'm negotiating with my Dad. I have a property that'll give him another monopoly, he has a card that'll give me a monopoly. We both have enough money and side properties to even things up afterward. With a good trade here, we'd both have a higher chance of winning, significantly cutting into on my brother's lead. Seems like it should be a slam dunk, right? But no, my Dad is pushing for the most ridiculous trades possible, and outright refusing to trade away those properties that are most

3.

Text - I say to my Dad: "Dad, l'm clearly in the weaker position, here. But right now, that just means I have less to lose. So here's the deal. If I don't get a trade from you that gives me a monopoly, l'm going to sell all of my properties to [brother's name] for $1." Dad didn't like that at all, and there was no trade. He also probably didn't expect me to carry through, but immediately after, I sold all my deeds to my brother for a dollar, and my Dad lost any chance whatsoever of winning the g

4.

Text - Was that a supremely dickish move to play? Yup. I'm feeling a little vindicated, though, for not letting myself be pushed around when I was the little guy. But will anyone ever want to play Monopoly with me again? I kinda doubt it. TL;DR was losing at family Monopoly, went MAD and made Dad mad, family board games won't ever be the same. Edit: Nothing's deleted. That is, I never tried to delete anything, but l'm getting messages that it's deleted. What's going on? 16 15 S 14 1 11 16

Tumblr Thread: Daughter Crashes Mom's Book Club

Man, it sounds like this home has all the dang advices. It was only a matter of time before something like this occurred. It was one thing for the daughter to accidentally connect to the wrong device and play some disruptive music in the middle of her mom's virtual book club. But it's a whole another matter when you find out that the song that was playing was "WAP."

1.

Text - tricktster So the other night my mom was upstairs on a zoom call with The Council of Retired White Moms (her book club) , my dad was downstairs working out, and my brother and I were cleaning up the kitchen, which obviously requires a soundtrack. Now, you know how sometimes you're like “alexa, play [a song]" and she's like “playing [a totally different song] on TST's spotify"? or maybe she just decides to play literally nothing instead? My workaround

2.

Text - has always been to select the Echo as thr output device in the spotify app. It works like 80% of the time. As such, when Alexa couldn't manage to play my great kitchen cleaning jam on the night at issue, I opened spotify, selected the kitchen echo, and pressed play. When the Echo didn't respond, I just assumed it was just the usual spotify/alexa bullshit... until the OBs} screaming began.

3.

Text - This next part is important: there are 32 devices on our network and nobody but me ever names them. So when I'm selecting a device to play spotify on, I have to pick the right speaker out from a long list of random alphanumeric gibberish. I usually guess right, but I do occasionally fuck it up. Accordingly, it came to pass that I had not told Spotify to play my music on the kitchen echo; I had actually selected the iHome in my mom's office.

4.

Text - Mom originally bought the iHome to play NPR loud enough that she could hear it from any room in the house. It's not a smart speaker, though, and mom (like the majority of boomers) prefers to use voice commands. Once she got her own Echo, she just basically forgot about the iHome. More importantly, she forgot how to use it, and then, it seems, forgot that it was a speaker system at all - a few weeks prior to the events of this story, I was trying to troubleshoot her computer and had a priv

5.

Text - For the past few years it’s just been lurking silently on her desk next to her laptop. Waiting. As a result, when the iHome unexpectedly lurched back to life at its customary maximum volume, neither my mother nor the 25+ other Women of a Certain Age in her book club had any idea of: a) where the music was coming from, or b) how to stop it

6.

Text - T had started up the stairs in response to the screaming, but I paused (out of mom's line of sight) when I realized what was happening. "STOP IT!" My mom was out of her chair and screaming. "WHAT IS THAT!? NO! ALEXA, STOP IT! ALEXA! STOP PLAYING!" A greek chorus of distraught book club attendees was echoing her sentiments over the laptop speakers, the monitor displaying the horrified face of each speaker in incredibly rapid succession. “ALEXA!" My mom shouted at the mesh router point, “MA

7.

Text - (“Did you mean 'set a timer?" the Echo in her bedroom asked politely.) The song, naturally, did not stop, and mom did not think to mute her laptop or pull the power cord from the iHome. Instead, she whirled around several times held her arms out in a sort of T-pose, as if she could physically stop the book club attendees from hearing the song l'd picked out. I will say this for the iHome - sure, it’s old tech, but even at max volume, the lyrics could be understood with perfect clarity.

8.

Text - Now, this would have probably been funny regardless of the song I had chosen as | my kitchen clean-up jam. I know that. But the actual song that my mom's book club encountered that night is what raises the whole thing from “amusing anecdote" to "genuinely incredible."

9.

Text - If you have been following me for a while, you'll know that I tend to think of myself as a real prankster. A rascal, a scamp, a jester of a woman. I have engineered a few comedic misadventures in my day. But I have to be humble here... what I unintentionally accomplished that night was so much funnier than anything I have ever done on purpose. It was the absolute apex of comedy. The song I had chosen, dear readers, was WAP. 22,156 notes

How Much Water A Second Story Holds Before Collapsing

Some inquisitive people at the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation decided to see what would happen when you just pump a hose-load of water into the second story of a home. Honestly, the house held water better than some would expect.

Midnight Shift Workers' Spookiest Experiences

Man oh man, this AskReddit thread is just in time for spooky season. It's all about the creepiest experiences that midnight shift workers have had while on the job. Let's just say that it's threads like these that lead us to believe that there's a whole lot more scary stuff going on in the world than we'll ever fully grasp.

Text - shatteredbutwhole • 10h 3 4 Awards I used to be a crew chief at IHOP during the night shift but there wasn't a crew lol it was just me and one cook. One night a man came in and seemed so friendly and insightful, he was telling me about his time as a music producer in LA. He was so polite with me throughout our conversation, something I can't stress enough lol. A few more customers came in, and as I took care of their orders the man I spoke to started talking to himself and laughing. Then

Text - Hardcore_EHS• 8h 3 Awards Security guard here. For about two weeks during Christmas time, our facility shuts down. The only ones present are the guards. We work long, boring shifts, and all of the lights except for the office areas are shut off. This was about 10pm one of those nights. It's already surreal being alone in a huge facility in the middle of nowhere, at least a mile by car from the next nearest human. I'm walking around, no flashlight because i'm a dumbass, and like straight o

Text - I track this person for about ten minutes, only getting brief glimpses of shadows letting me know where they are, until I took a different route and finally saw the shadow of a person approaching me. I got out my light on my phone and stupidly yelled, "SECURITY, WHO THE FUCK'S THERE?" It was our maintenance coordinator, Mark. His face was really red and he looked like he'd been crying. I was like, "oh shit, hey man, sorry, everything okay?" He kinda mumbled "yeah, it's alright, I have som

Text - I heard later he and his wife got into a huge fight around that time and she'd left him and went to stay with her parents. This incident was only a few days before Christmas, too. I never mentioned it to him when everyone came back from holiday, but I figure he just wanted to come somewhere safe and get his mind off of stuff, and I stll feel bad for probably scaring the shit out of him on a REALLY bad night.

Maybe a month back i was in the middle of one of these rounds. I was on one of the lower decks where we load longhaul trucks like sardines. So tight you have to walk sideways between em. Im shufflin along between these trucks and trailers with music in my ears. Im lookin at the temp on some of the freezer trailers to make sure its all good. And

Text - I quickly pop an earplug out and turn around but there is no one there. I stand still for a couple of seconds and listen. The row of trucks im standing in is maybe 12 trucks long and 7 wide. Due to the darkness i can maybe see for 2 trucks down the row to ether side of me. "Thats weird" i think. I should be the only one down here... I grab my radio in my breast pocket and call the bridge. "Bridge this is Logan on deck 3". "Yes Logan, Bridge here". "Did you guys call me just now?" >>

7.

Text - "No, why". "No reason" I say, and end the call. Now im starting to calm down a little and start moving again. Right when i go to put my music on. There it is again. "Logan". Now im really freaked out. Last time i wasnt 100% sure because of the music in my ears but now i really heard it. Someone said my name right behind my back. Im frozen in plaze. I cant move. Im pressed shoulder to shoulder between two trucks. Im cold from fear all over. It feels like someone is standing right behind me

Text - "Logan" the voice says. "Logan". Finally, after what feels like an hour. I turn my head and look behind me. Darkness. Nothing. What i do see however, is the faint light of my phone in my backpocket. It is currently in an open call to my father. Call time is about 5 min. And now i can clearly hear my father on the other end. "Logan" he says. "Why the hell are you calling in the middle of the night for?" Reply 4.3k V ...

That was scary. Another time l'm standing on the edge of the site and shining my flashlight into the empty field and I see all these little green emeralds. There's thousands of them all over the field and I have no idea what they are. I walk out into the field about 30 yards or so and lean in on one

I was doing my rounds one night and I noticed the metal gate to one of the old tunnels was slightly ajar. Them I heard voices. Now these old tunnels were used to store high value equipment. And policy was that if I found a door unlocked I was to enter and secure the area, and only if I found something amiss to call the police (to be fair we found doors and gates left unlocked alllII the time).

He died from his injuries later. I've seen a cougar running up the main street hissing at every movement. I've seen a man get into my cab wearing a huge unsheathed machete strapped to his leg and ramble about in a deranged fashion until he told me to pull over and he ran away.

Text - clueing4looks • 7h Used work in audit; lots of late nights (2am or later), working overnight was not uncommon. Our office tower was the first true skyscraper built in that city and was the tallest building around for many years. Naturally, it became a popular spot for suicides for many years. It was haunted af. During the day when office-workers were everywhere it was pretty much normal. Late at night (after 11 or so) the building would feel very different. The way that office worked is t

14.

Text - Teams often worked late, and even after midnight it was common for 1 or 2 teams to be in the office. For some strange reason, even if we started the evening spread out across all the rows, we would end up clustered together on the last 2 rows by the end. The seniors experienced plenty of stuff and some became pretty numb to it. Seniors would insist we all leave together, accompany each other to the toilets (even the guys), and that no one was to work late alone.

15.

Text - One time it was only my team of 4 working late, past lam at that point. We're busy typing away at our laptops, flipping through papers, occasionally leaning back in our chairs to ask a question. We started hearing typing coming from a different corner of the office. It started when we started and stopped when we stopped. Spooked, the senior said to ignore it and quickly finish up. We hurriedly pick up the pace and do our best to ignore the phantom typing. After that, we start to hear rust

Text - We bolt out of the office. Forget the laptops & papers, we just grabbed our phones, keys & etc and we ran out of there. Didn't even turn off the lights. And then we were back in the office the next morning like nothing happened. I made it a point to leave by midnight after that, l'd rather work on stuff on my bed than stay in the office.

Text - shakeitupshakeituupp • 8h I guess this is the opposite of creepy but this is what comes to mind. I used to work at a bar/restaurant that closed late. We often wouldn't get out of there until 4:30-5 am after cleaning up. It was in this old brick building that had some kind of history although nothing crazy enough that any one ever talked about it much.

Text - One night these "ghost hunters", who had some sort of podcast or YouTube channel or Facebook group or something, had asked if they could come in over night and look for paranormal activity and film it. They came in at like midnight on a slow night and started getting set up. The idea was they would spend all night in this possibly haunted building looking for ghosts with their equipment. The only thing the few of us working there had spent countless nights in there and hadn't seen anythin
