The Taiwanese bicyclist Wang Nan AKA "Tainan Tony Stark" spent three weeks engineering this fine piece of work. With a small bottle of gas, the thing was able to get 30 seconds of jet propulsion and hit over 80 mph. Local authorities had trouble finding a way to fine him, but ended up citing a law that demands keeping slow moving vehicles in good condition. In the end, he got fined around 6 dollars USD.
Some skaters are able to pull off the kinds of tricks that seem to defy the laws of physics as we understand them. It's like they've made their own agreement with the devil to let them pretty much do whatever they want with the skateboard. As you watch Rodney Mullen bust out his various tricks for Tony Hawk's Underground it almost seems like he's surprised at how good he is.
I mean, let's just get right to it: if your partner doesn't propose with a blooming (fried?) onion, is it real? Apparently the couple went onto confirm that there was a prior proposal to this one. They just decided to keep the romance in full flow by doing the whole thing over with a blooming onion. Who knows? Maybe this couple has started a whole new TikTok trend.
Working in a diner can be a particularly tough gig. You're on the frontlines of having to deal with bleary-eyed customers that can oftentimes end up packing zero patience for their orders not showing up at superhuman speeds, and being nothing short of perfect. Well, apparently sometimes the order showing up exactly as it was requested isn't even enough. Take this diner regular and the temper tantrum that she unfortunately ended up pitching. It sounds like Marg was just having one of those days. From there, she ended up being put in her place by another human being who wasn't going to put up with the toxic nonsense.
The mere image of this dad walking around the house with a lovely cat draped around his shoulder/neck like an actual scarf is enough to make one smile. Now, you factor on top of that the fact that dad insisted on putting on a ridiculous show that he wasn't helplessly in love with the cat? Oh boy, you've got a winner. We're just glad that dad and this cat are actually best friends, after all. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this Tumblr thread about the big, weird, and empty mansions of rich people.
If you're like us, misanthropes who look at the tub drain and see not only our dreams but also an alarming amount of head hair, it's important to remember to take a break from seeing the world through dookie-colored glasses. That's where wholesome memescan be a good reminder that people are basically good, almost no one is thinking about how much they dislike you at this very moment, and also dogs are nice.
There are far too many cases of taxi drivers being unimaginable pricks to perfectly well meaning human beings, for no reason at all. They're just caught up in that maddening rush to get from point A to point B, and have no time for even considering the fact that many of us are prone toward moving at different paces through this crazy thing called life. Well, this passenger was having none of the attitude being thrown their way by a belligerent taxi driver. To have been able to see the look on the taxi driver's face when he realized that he was locked out would've been a very fulfilling moment. Keep the revenge dramas going with this nuclear revenge story about a company that didn't want to pay their employee their worth, and how it ended up costing them millions.
People will find things to complain about. They'll split hairs with surgical precision just to complain about free donuts. They'll make up a bunch of lies to smear a business that didn't serve them 10 minutes after closing time. They'll try to not pay people for completed work and they'll have meltdowns over not getting preferred appointment times. It's a wild world out there, and it's bursting with entitled people in need of a reality check.
Unfortunately, far too many of us have found ourselves confronting the unwanted reality that is realizing that our neighbors are nothing short of complete waking nightmares. Some neighbors try to claim your driveway as their own, while others end up being nothing short of completely nightmarish and downright bizarre individuals. In this case, it sounds like this woman was dealing with nothing short of a nosy neighbor who insisted on not minding her own business. Well, suffice to say, that didn't end up shaking out too well.
What do we like about history memes? Is it because we get at least over half of them and that makes us feel smart? You got it, buster. So hop in the way way back machine, set that baby to "before baths were a thing" and enjoy all the wondrous history memes that fall out the back of your unwashed trousers.
We all have our days when it feels like the universe itself is rooting against us, and chaos proceeds to break out at a moment's notice. It sounds like this dude's brother-in-law landed himself in some real hot water. If you thought you were having a difficult day just imagine trying to navigate having a truck full of rice show up at your place. Wouldn't be easy, man. Not easy at all.
Oh boy, oh boy, we love nothing more than to see a shamelessly greedy employee go on to get their rightful comeuppance. It sounds like "Susan the Snack Stealer" had her reality check moment coming at one point or another. To have been a fly on the wall during the moment that Susan got called out though. Must've been something magical. Check out another case of wild entitlement with this Karen grandma who wouldn't take an early appointment, and proceeded to have a full on meltdown.
Oh boy, this neighbor had no idea who they were messing with when they told this Gramps to "mind his own business." Maybe they should've thought that aggressive remark/request through just a bit more. Because, oh boy, the regret must've stung like none other. To have seen the look on the livid neighbor's face when they returned to what must've been an astronomical fine, must've been a thing of pure art. To keep the malicious compliance drama going, check out the time that this nightmare neighbor tried to claim a guy's driveway and then ended up screwing himself out of his own.
When many of us hear the word "influencer" we're prone to brace for an ensuing tidal wave of unwanted situations involving entitlement, bloated egos, and generally disagreeable demeanors. That goes without saying that not all influencers are out there bombarding the world with their ridiculous attitudes. There are some diamonds in the rough. For the most part though, influencers can be a real handful. Maybe these people's stories about their own encounters with influencers will remind you about a time that you had to put up with an influencer's nonsense. To keep the influencer theme going, check out this post about an influencer Karen that demanded free food in exchange for fame.
