Tumblr Post: 3,000 Year Old Cooking Mistake Gets Exposed


Some mistakes can end up living longer than others. Or just being buried away, only to come back to haunt people when we've already been long gone from this crazy planet. In this case, it's quite the hilarious cooking fail. To make matters that much better, it doesn't sound like this is the first time that someone's just tried to bury their fail away. We doubt it'll be the last time. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr thread where sea urchins rock a bunch of mini hats. It's everything. 

Server Reports Coworker For Contaminating Customer's Food


Man oh man, proceed with caution, because this little AITA thread has an innate ability to stir up some fiery emotions. It sounds like it was a rather inconsiderate, senseless day at the workplace for the folks involved in this story. Hopefully everyone learned their lesson, and that restaurant cleans up its act ASAP. 

Nostalgic Twitter Thread Brings Back Weird Elementary School Memories


Sometimes, it's fun to revisit the past and appreciate just how strange some of the things were throughout the journey that was muddling through the education system as a young one. This Twitter thread from @melmadara will likely resonate with many folks out there. It might even make you feel far older than you did before. If you want to keep the nostalgia going after this thread, check out some nostalgic snacks from the 90s and 00s. 

Costco Parking Lot Drama Results In Petty Revenge


Parking lots can effortlessly bring out the very worst in people. Everyone can get so caught up in what's going on in their day, perhaps in a big old rush, that they end up momentarily sacrificing common social ettiquette. Maybe you've already experienced an unfortunate parking lot drama or two in your time. Kudos goes to this person for the way that they ended up handling their own parking lot fiasco. 

Boyfriend's Morning Routine Wakes Up Girlfriend, Girlfriend Sleeps In Guest Room, Boyfriend Complains


It sounds like this dude is far out there when it comes to the regimen he's adopted to be successful. Like, my dude, you probably don't need to get up at 3AM to seize the day. But if you insist on doing something like that, you should probably plan for your partner who you share a room with to be a little bit perturbed. It seems like these two need to have a clarifying conversation where they're able to work out some way to meet in the middle. 

How Aliens Would Reconstruct Hilariously Misleading Animals Skulls


We're no bone-ologists, but we fully admit that skeletons can be misleading. Maybe its that seeing only the pointy bits of an animal seriously drops its capacity for cuddlyness. If anything, these exercises in guessing are a stark reminder that every few years we get told a new way we've been wrong about dinosaurs, and it hurts every time. For a completely empirical discussion of the sciences, here's Tumblr's list of sciences judged on lickability.

Stupid, Random and Brilliant Tumblr Gems


The hilarious and totally random errant thoughts of like-minded strangers find themselves taking refuge in the halls of Tumblr. In a way, it's like Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, except with people who have extremely strong opinions about Avatar: The Last Airbender. So post up in this pile of tumblr gems, dig in deep, and hear their stupid, stupid tales of cryptid encounters and unsatisfactory burritos.

Guy Panics, Fakes British Accent, Follows Him Around For 12 Years


Kids can be very mean. So, it's understandable that this dude went into survival mode and faked an accent just to try to steer clear of being bullied. With that being said, it's especially hilarious that he had to maintain the fake British accent for so dang long. I say, just keep it going, man. Really double down on refining that accent so that it's completely unrecognizable from the real thing. 

Dad Crafts Invincible Mailbox Amidst Road Grader's Antics


This isn't the first time that we've encountered a glorious tale about a character using a mailbox to enact a truly brutal revenge on someone else, and we highly doubt it'll be the last time. In this case, it sounds like dad hit his breaking point when it came to his mailbox being abused by an inconsiderate road grader. For some more mailbox drama check out this story about a scoundrel who ran down a family's mailbox, and then how the family created an invincible mailbox in response. 

Weirdest Dates Men Have Ever Been On


Dating can be a risky business. Especially in this day and age. You might end up sitting across the table from someone who in no way shape or form lines up with the persona they meticulously created for their online dating profile. Seriously, these datings apps nowadays end up instigating all kinds of chaos. And of course, can't forget about the cheesy pickup lines. Oh boy, those are just running amok in the land of Tinder. Anyways, this fun thread has men describing their absolute weirdest dates. Hopefully, their stories make you feel a bit better about your own cringe-packed dates. 

Punny Dad Jokes That Outpunned Themselves


Nothing gets us going like some good old fashioned dad jokes. It's like, on the one hand, you absolutely don't want to laugh at them. But, on the other hand, you can't help but appreciate the shamelessly cheesy levels of humor. 

Weird, Stupid and Absurd Car Modifications


From the idiotically expensive to the low budget car mods and fixes, there's a lot of room on the road for absurdity. That's not to say it takes technical expertise to make your car look like a bigass shark, it's just that it says more about you as a person than the car itself. Either way, as long as it's not going on our cars, may the dubious car mods flow freely.

Entitled Mom Has Temper Tantrum Over Doll


This world's clearly never going to run out of entitled people and their endless series of wildly irrational demands. In this case, we have a terribly entitled mother stage a temper tantrum after being rightfully rejected a doll that she wanted for her daughter. The thing about the doll is that it never would've been appropriate to have given away. Clearly though, the mom just wasn't able to peer through the thick veil of her own ignorance. 

Things That Look Like Scrumptious Food But Aren't


We live in a world of many things. Some of those things are food. Some of them are stuff that looks like food but isn't. Basically anything that looks glossy, candy coated or brightly colored looks like something that should go in our mouths. But be warned, those things could be soap, spider eggs or whole turtles. At least we can look at the delicious looking things that aren't food and wish.

Employee Battles Micromanaging Boss With Nano Reporting


Who knows what goes through the mind of a manager who would rather have their employees spend all their time reporting on their work than actually working. This employee saw right through it and came up with a plan to show them exactly how dumb the new policy was. For another incompetent boss, here's a manager who suspended an employee and expected them at their next shift.

Guy Shows Off Incredibly Engineered Prosthetic Hand


Ian Davis has a Youtube channel dedicated his engineering of his own prosthetic hand. Over the years he's come up with different designs with different functions. Here he is showing off the splay function. Sorry, there's just no denying that this thing is absolutely awesome.

Terrible DJ Ruins Awkward Silence At Wedding


It's like, when you're watching it, you almost feel bad. But then again, without this fail-packed masterpiece we wouldn't have all of the cringe that we do. 

Wife Throws Her Husband Under The Bus In Court


Um, solid sitcom vibes. 

Tech Support Employee Gets Fired And Unfired On Same Day


It sounds like this unfortunate tech support employee was stuck muddling through a gig that suffered the inevitable pitfalls of having an incompetent manager on duty. Honestly this dude J sounds like a complete waking nightmare to work alongside. We're just glad to hear that this dude was able to get out of the toxic job eventually. 

Check out another tech support horror story with this company that insisted on their server not being fixed, and then the fallout that ensued. 

Employee Arrives Late, Cool Boss Pulls Fire/Hire Switcheroo


After this employee came in late, their boss decided to use the minor infraction as an opportunity to give them a raise in the most convoluted, yet effective way possible. There are so many bad bosses out there, like this boss who said employee computers couldn't idle, or this boss who tried to take priority over the army. But at the end of the day, it's the cool and competent bosses who we remember the most, like this boss who used an eye gag to remove problem customers.

Entitled People and Their Excruciating Behavior


The world is a great big place filled with interesting people. But interesting doesn't necessarily mean "good to talk to" or "nice to be around." Every once in a while entitled people with their absurd audacity cross our paths, demanding discounted lawnmowers, better donuts and free rides that are like really out of our way. Every time that happens, we're given a choice to either fear the ceaseless demands of entitled people or answer their call with ridicule. Ridicule is a better bet.

The Worst Work Suck-Ups People Witnessed


Everyone has different instincts for how to stick around at their job. Some people just do a good job. Other people try to maintain a low profile. And then there are the brown-nosers. The people who's personalities change on a dime when the boss is around. The guy who buys his boss lunch. The coworker who will do anything for a shot at sniffing their manager's shoes. People have enough work horror stories to go around. Maybe some work memes would help.

Revenge Of The Week: An Engineer's Tale


Well oh well, this is definitely one of those stories that just leaves a good feeling in the back of your brain. This very easily could've worked its way into the rotation of solid tech support tales. It's a true crying shame that tech support has to put up with so much ignorance, just because of what they do for a living. 

Powerful Images of Sensory Nostalgia


They say taste and smell is a big part of memory. Heck, there are tons of nostalgic junk foods from the '90s. but what about the pain of getting burned on a hot metal sunbaked slide? Or cutting open the corner's of your mouth on a plastic tube of flavored ice? Or stepping on a Lego? Or clobbering the ever-loving sin out of your ankle with a razor scooter? Sometimes we need some nostalgic memes to set our heads straight.

History Memes To Explore The Depths of Time


We can only watch 90 Day Fiancé and reruns of Doug for so long before we start to long for some dense historical texts, and these history memes to become with time seem to fit that need alright. Who needs social skills when we can chortle heartily over references to various Mongol invasions and treaty signings? History memes are the light in the darkness.

Bride Refuses To Use Flower Girl Dress Mother-In-Law Bought


When there's a wedding around the corner in your life, you can pretty much safely assume that drama's about to break out. It could be (terribly so) your actual partner, or maybe it'll end up being the mother-in-law putting on a show that's worthy of being deemed a full-fledged bridezilla. You never know. 

Tattoo Artist Uses Bathroom Seven Times, Customer Leaves Smaller Tip, Tattoo Artist Complains


Look, we're not sure what was going on with the tattoo artist during this particular visit. Maybe they ate some demonically spicy Pad Thai that left their stomach in complete ruin the next day, and the bathroom was their only sanctuary. Or, maybe they were just trying to jack up how much money they'd make, by dragging out the length of the customer's session through being an aggressive regular at the restroom. Either way, it sounds like the customer thought it was fair enough to leave a smaller tip. Folks in the comments section seemed to be in agreement over the customer's decision. 

The Most Unprofessional Things People's Doctors Told Them


Medical professionals have to go to school for a long time, but it's not like learning how medications interact is going to change someone's personality. As many dumb patients and absurd misconceptions medical professionals witness, an awkward interaction won't always be the responsibility of a patient. It's a good idea to trust doctors, but if one tells you the cause of your rash is divine punishment, maybe consider seeing a different doctor.

Employee Has Special Greeting For Deaf Coworker, Other Coworker Feels Left Out


Someone needs a hobby. I mean, dude, if you find yourself in a gig where you're so easily irritated by trivial matters/things that aren't your business, that you go out of your way to complain about not having a special greeting of your own, it's time to reassess your career situation. It sounds like the protagonist in this AITA tale had developed a special greeting for their deaf coworker, but apparently this upset another coworker who felt the need to be included. Um, okay then. The coworker dramas will never end.

Straight up superhuman vibes with these mad skills. Anyone else have a hard enough time just being able to dribble with your offhand?
