We love us some well crafted, spicy rare insults. The internet's never going to be in short supply of people going at it with one another in the comments section. It's all about the folks that take the extra minute to put together the kind of rare insults that leave their recipients utterly speechless. These rare insults certainly delivered. Check out more rare insults that creatively roasted people to oblivion over here.
It's another one of those unfair changes in policy made by management with zero foresight. It seems like a huge company should be able to adapt when their employees use the benefits they promise to give. In a similar story, here's a guy who came up with a masterful plan when told he had to work on vacation.
Work comes with a distinct set of expectations. As long as people are basically cooperative and don't get on each other's nerves, everyone can walk away happy. But sometimes a person's explosive personality, annoying habits, or smell can get in the way of that. Particularly bad coworkers will even steal lunches or use sonograms to trick their boyfriend.
Okay, maybe that person wanted a toilet it in their kitchen, but probably not? It only takes seeing a few unprofessional "not my job" moments of failure to see that the world is absolutely brimming with examples of incompetent construction. It's a good reminder that no infrastructure is totally for sure, and that there could be anything going on with the pipes under your house.
We've seen stories of big company owners tripping over their own hubris, like this incompetent owner who mistakenly fired a special contractor, and this time there's more math. This guy gives an extremely detailed account of exactly how a whole bunch of water, a valve, and an overly zealous farm owner gave himself the business.
Daylight Savings Time can really do a number on the human mind. Some of us struggle more than others to do mental math and figure out "simple things" that are easy for everyone else. Honestly, this hilarious little tale about a Daylight Savings Time fail will probably resonate with plenty of folks that have had their own moments of fail when it came to trying to correctly calculate what time it was. Just remember, "fall back" and "spring forward."
There are two kinds of device owners, people who revere their laptops like a hollow Easter bunny made of flammable glass, and the other ones. The ones who store pieces of bologna in disk trays and drill speed holes in their keyboards, or people like this lady who claimed her computer was losing files, but was actually just deleting them. So naturally, tech support has to face some waking nightmares.
There's no getting around the fact that parenting is a wild emotional rollercoaster that can test a human being's ability to be patient and understanding beyond all measure. If you're a parent with a little kid you're likely muddling through many days where you've had little to no sleep at all, while trying to juggle a wealth of responsibilities that somehow fit into your day. And then you factor in the moments when the tooth fairy needs to clock in. The whole tooth fairy situation can go on to inspire many funny moments with your kids. These stories are something else.
One of the enduring features of every culture's cuisine is that you are never going to make it as well as your grandma did. With that out of the way, it becomes a game of how much you're willing to make your house smell like garlic in order to impress your uncle. Not only can cultures collide over something as basic as what lemonade is, but different places having totally different understandings of how one should measure space and time.
Giving a kid every opportunity and telling them they're the smartest kid around is a terrific recipe for raising an emotionally dense narcissist, and that's why we have siblings to tell us the hard truths about ourselves. You hope moments like these are learning experiences that help people avoid the rough path of becoming a ridiculous individual who brags about their intelligence online.
Sure, Mark Twain is the source of some insightful quotes, but what about Mewtwo? There are as many, if not more great quotes from cartoon characters and strangers on the internet than there are from great leaders and authors. It just takes someone to write it all down. Who knows, in your lowest moments, you might find yourself leaning on the immortal words of Shadow the Hedgehog for strength. For some more tumblr fun, here are random tumblr gems to rifle through like a goblin.
Fails successfully keep us entertained. Most of the time. It depends on the severity of the fail. There are lines that can be crossed. In this case, these seem pretty absurd, and hopefully nobody suffered any great inconvenience as a result of the fail occurring.
Local yeast geneticist, Sudeep Agarwala, picked up wind that people were encountering yeast shortages. So, like any awesome human being does, Agarwala decided to share a helpful and fun Twitter thread on how one goes about making homemade yeast.
This collection of infuriating images is enough to rattle the most calm of minds. Things just aren't as they should be. Or at least, how some might expect them to be. They're a little off, maybe the result of obnoxious carelessness. And from that can arise deep frustration from folks experiencing a world that didn't align with their expectations.
There are wise people among us who are frugal and decent with tools. These masters of DIY solutions have our respect. And while some of us don't like the idea of using a beer can as a shower head, you have to admit that it's not stupid if it works.
Twitter user @DinosaurDracula left people with their jaws on the floor after opening a wildly corroded can of Chef Boyardee from 1995. The monstrous contents that resulted from the grand reveal did not disappoint. Well, didn't disappoint in that they're just about as cursed as cursed food comes.
With a camera tilt here and well placed cat there, one image can quickly become a double-take inducing image of skewed perspective. Sometimes two items will blend together so well that it takes a minute to realize you're looking at some intriguing perspective.
There's something charming about a puntacular sign. And this sign in particular isn't alone. The Carroll County Veterinary Clinic has some stiff competition when it comes to this other sign whose pun game is too on point. Here are some more dadtacular dad jokes and an extra smattering of puns to fill the pun void.
Rob Arnold has spent a dizzying amount of time sifting through washed up litter, and has some interesting and informative things to say about the plastic he's seen. Some of this stuff can even be traced back to specific incidents from decades ago, which is crazy to think about.
Awesome, our bodies are like natural history museums. Apparently, we're brimming with evolutionary leftovers, and Dorsa Amir mapped out a way to play around with some of these in a fun Twitter thread.
The sign for the Indian Hills Community Center has a long history of having a pun game that's too strong. There's something weirdly quaint about a sign with good puns. For some more quality puns, here's a smattering of puns to fill the pun void.
In this world, stories of incompetent managers and entitled Karens aren't rare. There are dumb bosses like this manager who suspended an employee and then expected them at their next shift. In the apocalyptic world of entitled Karens, there are tales like this military wife Karen who demanded salutes. But when the two are one in the same, things can get especially ridiculous. At least this one had a happy ending.
Anyone with a few decades on them can remember a time when toys were heavy, sharp, fast, toxic and scalding. Whether it was a playground slide that would sear the flesh off your palms or a chemistry set that could have made biker crank, people had a different idea of what was considered safe for children. People remember the wildly dangerous activities they participated in as children.
One of the things we don't miss about restaurants is the need to make increasingly inconvenient, and sometimes potentially dangerous presentation. For example, serving food on top of a bed of bite-sized rocks is kind of a bad idea. Here are outlandish restaurant presentations, from broccoli on barbed wire to burgers on a guitar.
Someone's cutting onions in here, man. Anyone else get a little misty eyed? This uplifting Tumblr story is worth the effort. An entertaining and heartfelt read.
People are an incredibly creative bunch. Sometimes are creativity surpasses artwork and even leads to cursed food created in the underworld's kitchen. Sometimes people make things just because they can be done, and not necessarily because they will be popular or even nice looking. We're the kings of making things well but with questionable taste. There's no denying that these took a lot of talent to create, but the big question is "why?"
We see warning signs every day, and some hazards become more "everyday" than others. These spooky signs go above and beyond when addressing strange, overly specific, or even vague danger. Spooky signs say a lot with their creepiness.
There's no question that the world is merciless. Water damage will destroy ceilings, shelves will collapse, and laptops will explode There's no good way to mitigate every single mistake, failure, error and blunder so we all just have to learn to deal with them. Knowing that life is uncertain doesn't make it less perilous, but it makes it slightly easier to live with.
Assigning silly identities and voices to those various thought streams that might pop up as invasive, and with a dark tone around them, can be helpful in riding out the process back toward peace. If you're able to step outside the thought when it pops up, recognize it as that, and not identify with the thought, it can almost end up being a game of sorts. Is the conspiracy theorist with the panicked strain piping up again from the back corridors of your mind? Maybe.
For some reason it's always the least detail-oriented who are in charge of details. Maybe it's a lax attitude toward perfection that leads to some "not my job" failures of professionalism. Maybe it's just overconfidence that results in design failures that deserve some blame. Whatever the reason, it sure does not look good to have a big sign that reads "We will eat your family."
