Trippy Video Demonstrates "Hear What You Want" Phenomenon
Beauty is clearly in the ear of the beholder. Every time we go on to forget just how complex and truly strange our brains are, a video like this one right here comes around to remind us that existence itself is far more bizarre than we regularly give it credit for.
Grandpa's Ruthlessly Honest Texts Win The Love Of The Internet
Old people can be quite refreshing with their unapologetic honesty. It's as if they've spent enough time on this planet to come to the stark realization that the honest talk can be the best talk. Of course, this isn't always true. But every now and again it's just nice to hear people share what's really on their minds, without being driven forward by some kind of ulterior motive. With all of that being said, this grandpa's texts are pretty brutal.
Employee Fails To Do Job Correctly, Costs Company $1.5 Million
Sometimes the best way to feel better about your own sloppy days at work, where you couldn't seem to perform your job up to the standard that was expected from you is to go ahead and read about other people's own tragic professional blunders. Just because there's a paycheck on the other side of all of that work, doesn't mean that it prevents people from failing at their jobs in a wild blaze of anything but glory, every now and again.
Facepalm Moments From The Virtuosos of Dumbness
Self-awareness is a skill, but there's nowhere to take lessons. These facepalm moments of human moronitude are a good reminder that most of us are playing with a full deck in the brain department, even if we don't feel like it sometimes. We may lock ourselves out of our houses from time to time, but at least we're not posting one star reviews of national parks complaining that the animals are loose. That's some facepalm-level behavior that we can keep a little bit of distance from, at least most of the time.

Horrible But Common Financial Choices People Have Seen
Everyone knows that skipping a morning coffee isn't going to push you into the next tax bracket, but truthfully, there are a few really unwise financial options that people see being made every day. For example, renting a lamp is a bad idea. Getting laid off and then immediately buying a brand new car when you haven't paid off the old one is a bad idea. And if you like having disposable income, getting super into Magic the Gathering is a really bad idea. Some bad financial options make themselves too available, but then there are also everyday scams and sketchy businesses that all we can do is hope to avoid. Here's a tumblr user's scary debt lesson and just for fun, the easiest and stupidest money people made.
Boss Forces Employee To Choose Between Demotion Or Termination, Asks If They're Wrong
Mental health days are obviously no joke, but if it's at all possible to convey to the boss in question that it's going to be a taking of the day off situation, that could be a good idea. Especially, when in the position of being promoted and tasked with exciting new responsibilities, like opening the store on time. It sounds like there were some communication troubles occurring between these two. Folks in the comments section seemed to be in agreement that the boss wasn't in the wrong for their decision to ask Peggy whether she wanted the demotion or straight up termination. But you be the judge.
Technically Accurate Moments That Were Completely Not Wrong
Technical correctness is a spectrum that can run all the way from "stupid and obvious" to "terrifyingly clever" and we're never ready for what we'll find. Will we come away knowing new unexpected truths? Will we just feel like we've had our own believes said back to us? Or will reading statements so obvious make us feel dumber for having read them? Probably all three. But hey, that's what technically correct moments are all about.

This isn't the first time we've encountered a story involving a villainous character who couldn't be pushed to do their job correctly, and we strongly doubt it'll be the last time. It was only a matter of time before this mailman went on to get his rightful comeuppance.

Man oh man, our hearts really go out to the poor people that are working tech support and having to deal with the wildly, hopelessly entitled human beings in this world. In this case, it sounds like Karen was very, very lost. Basically, she got all enraged over her computer literally having a desktop function. Like, what do you even do with that?

Tumblr Post: Humans Live In A Mildly Magical World
Yeah, so those crazy things like the placebo effect that are a part of our daily existence are actually pretty much magic in action. It's truly wild that we can alter our very state of existence just by believing that something will make us feel a certain way. It's pretty humorous that we totally overlook the magical aspects of life. Like, we might as well be wizards.
Man Publicly Shames Wife's Friend For Disrespecting Waitress
Anyone who has ever worked a customer service gig knows that the job comes with its unfortunate boatload of experiences that involve dealing with wildly entitled individuals.

Amazing Pet Finder Names That Definitely Kind of Work
With so many animals being pushed into the system, you can only name incoming cats "Snowball" so many times before you get bored and start using a random word generator.

Peter Pan Play Goes Hilariously Wrong
I mean, let's be real. There's something about this version that's honestly more appealing. It could be the steady procession of fails in a play that was seemingly destined for doom from its very onset.
