4 Dumb Ways Hollywood Misunderstands Teenagers

Presumably, every single writer in Hollywood was at some point in time a teenager. At the very least, they probably inject themselves with teenage blood in order to keep their organs strong and their skin moist. So how in the world do they know nothing about them? Thankfully, "Doctor" Jordan Breeding is oft accused of having a teenage sense of humor, so join him as he tears apart teenage movie tropes that have no grounding in reality.

Sir Ian McKellen Does An Amazing Maggie Smith Impression

Oh man, why'd Sir Ian McKellen have to go and do Professor McGonagall like that? With that being said, there's no denying that he pretty much nailed it. A true talent.

Man Crashes Multimillion Dollar Yacht Into Pier

This isn't the first time we've seen someone make a complete fool of himself with a pricey new toy that he doesn't understand how to work in the first place, and we're sure it won't be the last. Clearly this guy missed memo on it being necessary to slow the boat down as you approach the pier.

Tumblr Thread: People In Historical Clothing Get Mistaken For Ghosts

Yes, yes, yes, be the ghost encounter that you want to experience in the world. This quick and humorous Tumblr thread has people describing their experiences with being mistaken for paranormal beings solely because they were outfitted in clothing from way back in the day. Just picturing what kinds of fearful thoughts must've been racing through that poor cop's brain is enough to get some laughs rolling. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with these funny Tumblr gems unleashed from the depths.

1.

Font - froody There's this ask reddit post about your weirdest childhood and the story is about this guy who was playing in the woods by a creek with his friend when a guy in full late 1800s formal clothing including a top hat just walked out of the forest, said "Hello boys!" and kept walking. This is why I want historical clothing so badly. The ultimate prank. froody give someone something to think about for the rest of their life

2.

Rectangle - froody be the ghost encounter YOU want to see in this world tophatandboots In my last year at uni, I was living in the top floor of a Victorian terraced house. And wearing a lot of Victorian inspired clothing with my goth stuff

3.

Rectangle - There was a girl aged about five who lived down the road, and whose mother always made a really big point of completely ignoring me. So the child makes the logical conclusion of Victorian house + Victorian woman + mother apparently cannot perceive = I CAN SEE GHOSTS

Rectangle - bomberqueen17 My dad, at the time in his late 20s, got super into re-enacting Revolutionary War right around the bicenntennial. He and some friends were downstate somewhere, Long Islandish I think, camping out in a field by some woods. They were drinking and getting a little rowdy and a neighbor must've called the cops for the noise, because they saw a police car approaching.

5.

Font - Dad's friend George decided he was going to go talk to the cop, as he was in real life a respectable person, and knew how to talk to authorities. Dad went along, to hold the lantern to light the way. The men stepped out of the woods at the edge of the road just as the cop got out of his car. It was summer, and both had removed their wool coats in the heat, and were wearing white linen shirts and buff breeches; George had a pale beige weskit on.

6.

Font - The cop looked at them, went pale, backed away, and ran around the hood of his car to get in it. Before they could say anything, he drove away. Only then did they think that maybe two men wearing white carrying a candle lantern melting silently out of the woods might have been alarming on a level beyond a simple noise nuisance...

Rectangle - Acogatog • 2h God, I had totally forgot war reenactments are a thing, people would just go out and LARP as members of the Revolutionary army for kicks. Sounds kinda fun tbh, hope that comes back after covid G Reply 1 18 3 ...

Woman Complains About Computer Losing Files, Realizes She's Been Deleting Them

While none of us are really rocking the floppy disks nowadays, this tale is certainly an entertaining one. The administrative assistant in question goes on to learn that she's been wiping her files clean herself by pairing her floppy disks with a magnet. Yeah, that's a big no-no. At least the issue was resolved when it's all said and done, and she gained some "wisdom" in the process.

Font - r/talesfromtechsupport + Join u/SynonymBunny · 3y "My computer always loses my files!" Medium Hello TFTS!!! LTL, FTP, blahblah. I bring you this story verbatim from my father. He doesn't have a Reddit account and just lurks... This happened a VERY long time ago - back when floppy disks were still floppy. My father (henceforth "IT-Dad") was working as a student employee at the Computer Center at his college. One of the services that the Computer Center provided to the campus departments wa

2.

Font - One day, an administrative assistant (henceforth "Admin") from the History department called with a complaint about her computer: Admin: "My computer always loses my files!" IT-Dad: "OK. Can you give me any details as to what you're doing and what the computer is doing?" Admin: "Well, every evening I save my files to a floppy disk, and then when I come in the next morning, the computer can't find my files!" IT-Dad: "Have you tried a new floppy disk?" Admin: "Of course, every day this week

3.

Font - IT-Dad: "And you're sure that you're saving them to the floppy disk - A:, right?" Admin: "Yes, after I save the files, I always use the 'DIR A:' command to confirm the files saved ok, but then the next morning they aren't there!" IT-Dad: (Thinking maybe she just didn't realize where she was saving the file, but wanting to be thorough) "Maybe there's something wrong with the disks. Can you bring in some of the floppy disks that you've used this week for us to look at?" Admin: "Sure - I'll

Organism - The next morning, the Admin calls and says she saved her files the previous night using the disk that IT-Dad had given her, but the computer can't find them again. --- Repeat scene from the previous day... including the Disk Unreadable error --- IT-Dad: "Is this the exact same disk that we formatted for you yesterday?"

6.

Font - Admin: "Yes, I'm sure it's the same disk - I have a special place that I keep my current disk so I don't lose it. I even check last night to ensure the computer saved the files on it - I just don't understand why the computer keeps losing my files overnight!" IT-Dad: "When you get ready to save your files tonight, give me a call and l'll come over and take a look at your computer. I'll bring one of my disks that I know works to test your computer, too."

7.

Font - That evening, the Admin calls IT-Dad and asks him to come over the History department. He watches carefully as the Admin saves her files to the floppy disk and uses the DIR command to ensure the files are there. He double checks the directory, runs chkdsk and even reads the disk that he brought with him to ensure the drive is working correctly - everything looks good.

8.

Font - IT-Dad: (very puzzled) "Well, everything seems to be working ok, but you say that this only happens in the morning, and it's the same disk you used the previous evening?" Admin: "Yup, and I know because I keep it right here on the filing cabinet so I don't lose it." IT-Dad: "Oh, yeah? Can you show me?" IT-Dad watches as the Admin puts the floppy disk in a dust jacket sleeve, then pulls a magnet off the side of the filing cabinet and uses it to stick the disk to the side of the filing cabi

Scientific Diagrams That Look Unintentionally Hilarious

Maybe these would makes sense with a few pages of physics or psychology textbook before and after, but as is, these scientific diagrams just look like jokes. The sheer lack of context is the engine that drives forward the strangeness, but it almost seems like textbook writers wanted to make this stuff as weird as possible.
