There have definitely been some unintended consequences of connecting billions of people in an electronic network of images and symbols. Like, sure it's given deluded weirdos places to groupthink themselves into complete derealization, and for some reason ticket prices have all these weird surcharges now. But also, the internet has provided cursed weirdness from its depths. That's something, right?
So, black holes do crazy, reality-defying things like squeezing matter to a literal vanishing point, trapping light so that there's no point of escape, and just casually warp time and space itself. Naturally, a discussion involving Leonard Susskind, Professor of Theoretical Physics at Stanford, is bound to be a mind-blowing one.
Gordon Ramsay puts in all of that elaborative work for a grilled cheese that doesn't appear to be sporting any melted cheese. Maybe we've been doing it all wrong, or maybe, just maybe Gordon Ramsay's hot take on the traditional grilled cheese meal isn't aligned with what the world of grilled cheese enthusiasts actually want.
It's a well documented phenomenon, and it's weird every single time. When the frames per second of a camera match the revolutions per minute of a rotor just perfectly, that bad boy looks like it ain't moving at all. So here's a helicopter floating into the sky like a glitching video game.
Maybe one of the best parts about dating someone on a serious level is that you're able to embrace the art of the inside joke between you and your partner that nobody else in the world is apt to pick up on. In this fun AskReddit thread people describe the inside jokes that they enjoy sharing with their partners for the explicit purpose of trolling them to oblivion. If anything, it might give you some ideas if you're looking for a new way to troll your partner.
It's the worst feeling when a company tries to screw you over with a fraudulent fee and just expects you to pay it to make the problem (they created) go away. That's why it's so satisfying to see people push back against unfairness in any way they can, like this guy who got hounded for trivial debt and sent them a dime or this guy who battled a store owner who wouldn't change his phone number.
Sure, some creepy signs can ruin the mood, but reading a sign that says "beware of flaming sinkhole" is a whole lot more convenient than falling into one and having all of your clothes burned off while your crush watches and laughs. Just kidding, you'd probably just burn to death. Anyway, the lesson is that we all have something to gain from terrifying signs that speak the language of fear.
It could be caused by inebriation, tiredness or just our own lack of mental faculties, but we get bad ideas. Sometimes our ideas are phenomenal, but that's only because we've just "invented" something that already exists. As stupid as our brilliant thoughts are, we can all have faith that even a stupid thing we invent could be used for something other than its intended purpose.
Math is hard for some folks on tumblr, but sometimes they really get into it, like the time they did the math on forging a literal blood sword. It's super common to see a headline along the lines of "smoking drywall dust increases risk of boneitis by 300%" which sounds extremely scary. But that number only means something if you know the potential boneitis risks of drywall smoking in the first place. We're not super good at math, but if the risk is only .05% and an increase of 300% raises it to .2%, just go ahead and smoke all the drywall dust you want.
don't smoke drywall dust. Also boneitis is a fictional disease from Futurama.
It doesn't feel very good to be outsmarted. But at at the same time, it's worth having a chance to be the one doing the outsmarting. All we can really do is hedge our bets and try to be the outsmarter more often than the outsmarted. Of course it's often impossible to tell when you've been outsmarted, so maybe we're all just a bunch of fumbling rubes. For some brilliance in the form of bold shenanigans, here are some mad lads who made the world their big briny oyster.
It sounds like this bride was pretty dang clear about exactly what she wanted/needed when it came to the gift giving process for her bridal shower. Basically, by having all of her bridal shower guests actually present their gifts to her in person, she ended up having to decide whether she'd shell out some serious dough for shipping those gifts to her place in California, or returning all the gifts and then repurchasing them. Both of those routes aren't particularly appealing. Thus, it's no surprise that a fair number of people in the comments section were in agreement that the bride wasn't in the wrong for not being too stoked about the whole situation.

The plant world is bonkers. There are battalions of mint and strawberry bushes waging war against one another with an unnerving level of strategy involved. Naturally, as Tumblr so often does, this particular thread ends up escalating even further into the nightmarish land of the Kudzu vine. It turns out the Kudzu vine is basically a massive, green, alien life force that's here to literally smother everything to death. If you're looking for some more gold from the world of Tumblr check out this recent thread we shared about a tragically misunderstood, nice guy named Vinny.
The internet doesn't have to be all panic-inducing headlines and general news of apocalyptic events looming on a foreboding horizon. No, sometimes we can welcome in a sweet wave of wholesome goodness that uplifts the spirits. In this case, we have a loving daughter who takes it upon herself to tap into the world of Twitter to ultimately end up securing her dad a new gig at Costco. It's pretty cool when perfect strangers come together on the internet to help out other people that in no way will be giving them anything back in return. If you're looking for some more wholesome, check out these wholesome memes to hit the feels button.
This is just the kind of imaginative Tumblr thread that keeps us going. You have a wonderful human being named Vinny who just so happens to carry with him a whole lot of mannerisms that could be easily misinterpreted by suspicious onlookers. Honestly, this is the kind of character that could totally be in a TV show or a movie. Like, for instance Vinny could've integrated himself seamlessly into the infamous show, Brooklyn 99. If you're looking for some more gold from the world of Tumblr, check out this Tumblr post about a dentist who just so happened to know about everything.
Just because someone has the "book smarts" doesn't mean that they're not staggeringly clueless in other parts of life that require nothing more than some common sense. It can be beneficial for the world's brainiacs to have their egos put in check every now and again. Otherwise you run the risk of having to deal with some people that are sold on the naive idea that they know everything of importance in this world. That's just not an outlook that's good for anyone.
What a way to make use of a water hazard. It may have been a single shot 10 years ago, but damn if that's not a beautiful sight to see. The "ghost bawl" will live in our hearts and memories as some of the slickest putt-putt action that there has ever been.
