Sure, there's the classics like "when I say I'm not thinking about anything I'm actually not thinking about anything" but that's just the tip of the iceberg. In most cases it's helpful to know what's going on in someone else's head. Except when it's absolutely disgusting. We tried not to include too much, but some got through anyway.

This guy's showing us, yet again, that not all heroes wear capes. Some of the more resourceful ones employ adorable little RC toys to clean out the rubble from their basement. Why do the work yourself when a mini-excavator will do it for you.

Libraries ain't all dusty bookshelves and tense silence and librarians that can inspire you to feel hyper aware of every noise you throw into their atmosphere. Sometimes, they exercise a sense of humor to go along with the books they provide. See for yourself. Some of these might write laughter into your state of being.

Bloomberg's, Joe Nocera, asks the internet whether or not they think the rich really ever paid 90% of their income to the "taxman." Check out some of his findings that were shared on Twitter. The results might surprise you, or make total sense. It's a funny thing: people making a whole lot of money, can (key word being, "can") put up a long-drawn out fight to keep their money. These are some of those moments.

These people threw their lies out on the internet for the online world to eat up; and the ones committed to calling out dishonesty with the untold truth, did what they could. As far as we know these are fitting examples of quityourbs, but maybe there's even more to the picture. Every now and again, the one telling the alleged "bullsh*tter" to drop the act, is doing some of the bullsh*tting themselves. A wild world we live in, and lies can distort the real picture, when people allow themselves to get caught up in telling them.

Tumblr users put their heads together to work themselves into a hysterical fit over what an "angel" could look like, if you ever come across one. The results could be viewed as absolutely terrifying. Some of the images provided fit the bill for what some of us describe as a monster, even.

Ever had a boss that wanted to do something you knew was stupid, like standing on a ladder supported by a second ladder, supported by something on wheels? And you're like "I think this is unsafe" and he's all "this is how we've done it for years and nothing bad has happened, I mean except that one time." Man, screw that noise.

As nice as it would be to fix our agriculture system by having a box of blob-shaped apples sent to your house every month, apparently things aren't as easy as that. Dr. Dara Taber elaborates on the concept of food waste in America.

This doctor's office is NOT messing around when it comes to broadcasting their rules to the population of anti-vaxxers outside their door. They make it clear that their doors are not open to anyone who has actively chosen to not receive the measles vaccination. And if their slides aren't enough to sway any minds undecided on vaccination, then take a peek at this heartfelt Roald Dahl letter. I imagine their unapologetically, fortified stance on vaccinations, and whether people choose or choose not to receive them, has stirred up a ruckus in the community of anti-vaxxers.

Yeah, being late to work or stepping in dog poop does suck, but things could be worse. You could be publicly humiliated, accidentally cause an enormous amount of property damage, or even come into mortal danger. Some unfortunate situations are more ridiculous or ironic than others. Chances are you aren't having all of this happen to you right now.

This dad found himself in the middle of a kid-filled waking nightmare, after signing up for a field trip to the science museum. Those school buses have their emergency exits (hopefully), and my gut tells me that he was hard-pressed to find a reason why he shouldn't make use of it as an escape, for himself!

A luxurious, Peloton indoor exercise bicycle goes for $1,995 these days. I don't know the first thing about whether that's a reasonable cost for the equipment provided. If anyone does, please comment with your insights. Pedaling onwards, what I do know is how their commercials come across, to me: and that is a sleek, sky-high marketing campaign to the deep pockets of the penthouse class.
I mean, there are moments in particular commercials, where this bike is being used in what resembles a penthouse. If you have the money for time in a penthouse, why not throw a costly piece of shiny, exercise gear in there while you're at it. That being said, Twitter user, @ClueHeywood took it upon himself to make a sardonic mockery of the whole show. His resulting tweets are making waves of laughs on Twitter, as his followers count continues to climb. Job well done, sir!

There are flairs of originality, crudeness, immaturity, and silver-tongued smoothness throughout these randomly assorted moments from the Wild West of the Modern Dating World, Tinder.

The roasters of Reddit is still here to remind the world that words strung together creatively, can leave a steaming burn on the self-esteem, or hopefully, just laughter in the face of whatever people put out as their opinion. There's an admirable strength about the people who willingly put themselves out there to get roasted and toasted. I wonder how each individual takes the onslaught of fiery words, but I imagine, or hope, they consider what they're signing up for before taking action.

Music's a crazy thing. It has the power to take us to a place outside the present moment, to a memory of where we heard a particular song play. It can reconstruct our mood, and throw us into the sublime or pained or bittersweet haze of a place, embedded as a moment in time, that has since passed. These 15 people shared their music memories from their childhoods, and it's a bit of an emotional rollercoaster!
