With the Fyre Festival awareness movement running at full speed on social media, and other places like Netflix, the memes honoring the iconically terrible, lit festival that never was...have never been spicier. If you know anything about the festival, you are likely to enjoy the hell out of these.

An AskReddit thread entertained the idea of bringing historical figures into present day, to see how they'd fare in the wild world of social media. The results are a fun Pandora's Box of what-ifs, that ultimately seem to make some sense, based off what we know. The real question, is whether any of these historical figures, would spend their time using social media in the first place.

In the 1967 film "Creative Person, Fred Rogers:", Fred Rogers talks about how he believes adults can impact a child's sense of worth, and ability to be themselves, amidst having it defined, before they can as individuals. This one might strike some chords!

Experience the unexpected awesome in this video, of a man, cutting cheese, while "making chainsaw noises. The results are surprising, and totally awesome. At the very least, you can even enjoy a bit of cheese yourself, with the roar of a chainsaw, on the side.

These moments of instant CAR-ma are brought to you by drivers who let their emotionally-charged impulses take the wheel. Things like those crazy yellow and white solid or dotted lines are there for an even crazier thing, like providing a little structure to the chaos of the road. When you choose to cross the line (literally) and jeopardize another driver's safety, the universe has an uncanny knack for intervening with flashing red and blue lights.

I don't know what's more unsettling or comically absurd in this video: The attention that the team at Universal Orlando Resort must've put into sculpting that troll-ass, or the fact that the troll parades around, and farts glitter on people. It's ridiculous and unlike anything we're used to seeing, and that's why it belongs on Fail Blog, for now. Hope you enjoy!

The story goes like this: over 70 years ago a World War II soldier filled 31 rolls of film with pictures, and in 2014, The Rescued Film Project, recovered all 31 of those rolls. What follows, is a video showing what went into the development of these photos, and then as an audience, we even get to see some of them! Pretty neat.

Unfortunately, people walking around like they own the place is the least of these peoples' worries. It's the people who walk around their homes like it's a bus station that they really had to worry about. Anyway, be wary of fiends of friends and distant cousins. You may find a pile of hair in your couch. If you wanna get mad on behalf of more homeowners, then here are some more terrible guests.

You're not doing it "right", Pop Tarts. Or, if you are, you're doing it in a massively unexpected fashion. And that would be, where you're talking about stuffing your Pop Tarts. As it turns out, the UK has a certain definition for "fanny," and Brits were quick to the punch on calling out the raunchy blunder.

Sunny Delight hit the Twitterverse with a rather somber Tweet. It would seem they found themselves in a dark place, temporarily robbed of the sunshine, warm light, and love of life. Fortunately, competitor brands, seized the moment to put aside differences, and step up to put on a show of positive support for Sunny Delight, to pick their heads up. So well, here we are, finding ourselves with a faith in humanity temporarily restored.

Sit back and watch Hugh Jackman kickstart his online "fake" feud with Ryan Reynolds, with stunning ease. Watch as an initially heartwarming, bubbly video brimming with good feels gives way to a suited and tailored Hugh Jackman, going full pour-one-out-like-a-savage mode. Just cold and brutal, and entirely hilarious. All kidding aside, we're excited to see what these two drum up for their next collaborative marketing campaign.

Here are 35 parents whose kids gave them grief for no good reason. On a similar note, sadly, these types of tantrums aren't just relegated to kids. Adults can have them too.

Sweet, could be a stretch here, but the point is that this customer service rep. stepped up in a helpful way, when they encountered a dissatisfied customer, who didn't get that good 'ol watermelon rancher they were looking for. And helpfulness is a whole different kind of sweet. Good on them.

Chris Pratt goes OFF in this video. Appearances suggest that this isn't the first time he's rapped over, "Forgot About Dre", and maybe it won't be the last. The video editing's on point too. Keep your eyes peeled for 0:36. Pure gold.

There's a whole lot of what you see in the movies that is NOT applicable in real life. Sometimes we will ourselves into believing that such, isn't so. Life would surely be a lot more dramatic and "magical" if the world lined up with what we see unfold in a wild script, sometimes. But alas, life ain't what it looks like in the movies. These examples of movie logic not holding up with the real world, should drive that bleak point home.

Life is full of earnest attempts. Sometimes you're trying to have a good time. Sometimes you're trying to tie down a four-wheeler to a truck bed. Sometimes you're just trying to joke around with your friends. With every attempt, there's a possibility for failure, and these folks did not escape it. Neither did these folks, either.

This poor, freshly stressed employee was just trying to do the right thing, when he went to touch a headshot. Thing is, he did so, without permission; and the terrible timing that ensued, put him in some hot water. This is a fine example of the fallout that can storm a seemingly innocent situation, when someone finds himself caught up in a, "this isn't what it looks like", scenario. We've got more of those, from a funny AskReddit, over here!

We have here a finely assembled lot of cringelords who fancy themselves modern gents, with deep pockets filled with unnecessarily long words; and beneath all that, wild insecurities and genuine rudeness. Just cause you write something out in a way that sounds pretty, doesn't mean you're off the hook, for lashing out seconds later with a fiery round of profanity-laced verbal assault. Of this lot, I think that Phil's the MVP. "Is that clear?"

This stuff is the flotsam of the internet. Like, after all the particularly funny, wholesome or generally positive stuff has been scooped up, there's this. The creepy, weird, cringey and all-out strange images that have nowhere else to go. At worst, mildly uncomfortable. At best, just plain creepy as hell.

This is the kind of emotionally-stirring post, centered on courage and selflessness in the face of true tragedy that has the ability to reawaken an idle faith in humanity. Seriously. It doesn't get much more powerful than this. As for the nurse, it sounds like she's since discovered word of this post, thanks to social media doing some good in the world; and she's connected with the brother who left the post on Facebook.

Some pieces of trivia can stick around in cultural consciousness for way too long, especially if they're untrue. It can be tempting to repeat a myth just because it sounds shocking and "unbelievable." There are oodles of misconceptions that people have about the past and future that just never seem to die.

This informative twitter thread seeks to shed light on how much information, concerning you, is being regularly, aggressively compiled. The results might surprise you, or you're someone who's accepted the state of things as they are, and you couldn't care less about what Google or Facebook has on you. It's a strange time to be alive, as technology continues to evolve faster than we could've ever fever dreamed up. This era requires dogged mindfulness, and research, if you want to ensure you know exactly what using a browser or signing up for a "free" social media service, entails. A whole lot more going on behind the curtain than we realize...

Nothing on this planet makes perfect sense, and it helps to have a sense of humor to just accept it all.
