Yep, yet another example that ignorance is absolutely bliss. This viral video from a Dunkin Donuts employee on TikTok has been making the waves. It's honestly no wonder. Some people rely more heavily on getting their aggressive amounts of daily caffeine more than others. What we see in this video is that the "large iced coffee" is definitely not how it's been presenting itself. Nope, not at all. Shout out to TikToker @jasonmora2 for the troubling revelation. Or hey, maybe that's just the right amount for people that don't want to go too hard on their iced coffee.
A daily dose of the most hilarious gag-inducing Internet memes, gifs, images, funny insults, and fails from around the web!

TikTok Video Shows Amazon Driver Make Delivery During Tornado
This viral TikTok video from TikToker @ajp18588 shows an Amazon delivery driver out making deliveries during a literal tornado. I mean, come on, man. Apparently there were some doubters in the comments section of this video, questioning whether or not that was an actual funnel cloud or not. Well, it was. And there were multiple tornados confirmed in Illinois during the month of August. So, the likelihood that this is actually a video of an Amazon delivery driver making deliveries during a tornado is pretty high, indeed.

Guy Overcharges His Own Company 5 cents, Pays In Installments
The sad thing here is that he technically didn't go over his per diem, just this ridiculous "dinner" timing BS. It's always a big reminder that life is absurd when you find yourself being billed for pennies, like this guy who got hounded over a trivial debt and mailed them a dime.

She thought that sense she had a personal relationship with this person that they would gladly screw over their other patients to fit her kid in, but as it turns out, things don't work that way.

Bonkers Junk Students Did That Made Them Legends
Every school worth its salt has that story of "the kid who convinced a substitute they were the janitor" or "the guy who rode a bathtub through assembly."

Bootleg Stuff That Slipped Through Somehow
We've all had the thought "all of these officially licensed toys and products are fine, but what I really want is an off-brand SpongeBob named "Spongey Roy" that transforms into a train."

Man Bad-Mouths Girlfriend's Plant Collection, Reddit Reacts
A person's collection of plants is no joke. Plants can benefit one's mental health in beautiful ways.

Just in case you missed the latest glitch in the matrix, notoriously obnoxious YouTube personality, Jake Paul, just wrapped up a sloppy scrap with MMA legend, Tyrone Woodley.

In the video below, you can see what it looks like when Paul experiences a punch from an actual fighter for the first time. To say that Paul looks shook would be an understatement. The fact that Paul went on to "retire" from the fight game naturally paved the way for Twitter to have a field day.

Man Wears Fancy Watch When Meeting Girlfriend's Parents, Girlfriend's Dad Berates Him

Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" Played On Appliances Is Pretty Much Spot On
Device Orchestra is a channel dedicated to making beautiful music out of everyday devices. There is some irony to making electronic music (fine, it's technically new wave) out of literal electronic devices, but that irony is lost in the fact that this actually sounds pretty good.
