Jurassic Park Trailer But Every Dinosaur Is Pee-wee Herman


A while back Pixel Riot edited a chase scene from Jurassic Park to feature Pee-wee Herman as a bloodthirsty dinosaur. It was by all accounts, too good, so naturally they went and did a whole trailer with him as every every dinosaur. Fantastic.

For some, mayonnaise is definitely one of those rare condiments that pairs nicely with a wide array of foods, but when consumed by itself it is absolutely gnarly. Props to the girl for powering through like she did. Poor mom was mortified.

Features of Homes that Rich People Wouldn't Understand


Most people don't have a whole lot of money for designer tin cans and entire matching cup sets. Being the resourceful humans that we are, there are certain features of many homes that rich people just wouldn't get. Matching towels? Ha! You want a new TV just because it's sort of broken? Who are you the King of Rhodesia? These extremely common moments stand in stark contrast to some of the most expensive things people have witnessed. Here are some wild cases of rich people being out of touch.

Woman's Tired Of Neighbor's Screaming Children, Wants To Blast Music


This woman moved into a new home and after meeting her new neighbor and determining that there'd be some loud kids stirring up all kinds of noise, she let the mom know that she'd probably just proactively try to drown out that noise with some sweet tunes. Apparently, the mom didn't take too kindly too this. It could be viewed as a potentially tough call on whether or not the music blaster's in the wrong. On the one hand, nobody wants to hear a relentless onslaught of kids being crazy loud, but the music might also only make the situation that much worse. You be the judge though, who's in the wrong here?

Font - 日1231B2 AITA for telling my neighbour will just blast music over her kids yelling Not the A-hole | (f26) moved into a new house that I purchased. My new neighbour a two days later came over to say hello and asked if we had kids. I said no and she pretty much said (not word for word) "oh I hope you don't mind all the noise mine make, they can get very loud". She has 3 kids, which I'm guessing are all under 6 and l've already heard them. I haven't finished unpacking yet but where I used to

2.

Font - I responded to her "oh that's fine, l'll probably just drown any screaming out with music anyways" She seemed a bit annoyed and asked what type of music, to which I told her mainly metal or punk pop (it's still 2004 to 2012 in my Spotify, it's not a phase). She seemed unimpressed and said that's not really okay. I told her that if she can't teach her kids to be respectful of neighbours at appropriate hours, I don't really see the issue. She huffed off.

3.

Font - I've never had complaints from neighbours prior to this. While I understand, most people might not appreciate hearing music blasting, most probably put the two cents together that it only happens when they're kids are obnoxiously noisy. I previously haven't had to do this often but I have feeling, this might be a more regular occurrence at my new address. So reddit, aita? Open minded to that we both might suck here.

Font - I have no problem with her children's play noise as long as I can drown it out with something more soothing on the ears. I would only do this when it gets to yelling and screaming. I'm okay with general play noise happening as I do like think of myself as reasonable. Fwiw, it seems like her kids are fans of constant pointless yelling while playing. All of my 10 nieces/ nephews have slowly learnt that randomly yelling is rude so I don't know if this is a parenting issue on my neighbours pa
