Impressive Omelet Robot Serves Humankind For Now


This omelet-making robotic arm is just a feature of a hotel in Singapore for now, but just wait. When robots complete their understanding breakfast technology, their clockwork brains will be logically incapable of missing the most important meal of the day, making them more productive than ever at facilitating the demise of humankind. Just watch in a few years there will be billions of these robot arms making omelets out of people to use as batteries in their horrible pitch-black-sky techno-wizardry future hell-hole. It starts with some eggs and then 20 years later all of human existence will be over easy.

Six Flags Zombie Auditions


Without the special effects it turns out that watching people audition for zombie roles at Six Flags can be quite the visceral experience. Kudos to them for getting up there and fully committing to their bits. Couldn't have been easy. 

Karen Mistakenly Lets Kids Buy Boatload Of Stickers, Leaves Bad Review


People that leave dishonest and straight up negative reviews after getting their comeuppance at stores, are on a level of their own. This video from TikToker @austinscotttt went viral, and it's no big surprise. Basically, Karen completely misinterpreted what the offering price of the stickers were, and then ended up making up a whole thing about a discount that was never there in the first place. The dude who ended up having to field the whole fiasco tried to bring some clarity to the matter, but it seemed like there was no clarity to be had because Karen was already too belligerent to have any sense talked into her. 

Man Invests $20 In Weird Cryptocurrency, Becomes Trillionaire Overnight


Everyone's talking about cryptocurrency. Due to people making literal stacks of cash after investments into cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Dogecoin, the world of cryptocurrency investment in general has garnered widespread feverish excitement. Most everyone's always game to try to pick up an extra buck when they can. Of course, it doesn't hurt to educate yourself on what kinds of cryptocurrency investments are actually worthwhile, and not equivalent to playing the slot machines at a casino. 

Now with all of that being said, the surreal cryptocurrency of the day is a tale about a dude named Christopher Williamson of Georgia. Williamson decided to invest a whopping $20 in a cryptocurrency called Rocket Bunny. Williamson apparently went to bed, drifted off into dreamland, and then woke to discover that he'd miraculously made trillions of dollars overnight. We're talking $183 trillion to be exact. I don't blame the guy for assuming that he was still dreaming. He managed to throw up a series of tweets with a daily status update. Eventually, Rocket Bunny reps killed all the buzz and clarified that it was in fact a display error. A shame, really. 

Red Flags To Look Out For In People


Everyone can live their own truth or whatever, but spend enough time alive and you start to notice personality traits that people can't stand. We could all gain something from spending our time around less manipulative or abusive people. At the same time, if we see ourselves doing these things it's a good chance to know if we're alienating our friends and coworkers. We can dodge a lot of bullets by knowing what signs to look for in red flags for roommates or red flags at job interviews.

Subway Under Fire For Iffy Tuna Sandwiches


Buckle up, because this could be experienced as a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for the hardcore Subway fans out there. Or maybe, as a ride or die Subway aficionado, you've long since come to terms with Subway's decorated past. And not the good kind of decorated past. In this case though, we're dealing with something particularly fishy. Yep, it's the tuna. Or rather, we wouldn't be right if we were to call it tuna. 

Apparently, a study conducted by journalist, Julia Carmel, at the New York Times ended up revealing that of the 60 inches worth of Subway tuna sandwiches that were collected, and then shipped off to a lab, no "amplifiable" tuna DNA was obtained. So, basically what is actually in those tuna sandwiches? Of course, Subway shrugged off all that investigative business and insisted that they're actually serving tuna sandwiches. 

There is a potential counterargument to be made that the NYT only tested 5 of the 15 species of nomadic saltwater fish. So, they might've missed something. Also, apparently the cooking process could be impacting the legitimacy of being able to obtain accurate results for when the Subway tuna is tested for tuna DNA. Even then though. Come on, Subway. While we're at it, it also turns out that Subway's flour recipe contains 10% sugar. If it seemed like their bread was uncharacteristically sweet, now you know why. 

Mad Lads Who Made The World Their Big Briny Oyster


The world is full of rules, and that's just not acceptable for these mad lads who blazed their own trail. The way of the mad lad is one of deceit, manipulation, and a commitment to the bit. It's a lonely road because so few of us choose chaos, but when it works, it works. May the mad lads of the world reap the rewards of their toil.

Weird, Awful and Wild Junk People Tried Selling Online


What do we do with useless garbage? Obviously, try to sell that weird junk online. Does anyone need an extended lawnmower or thousands of empty cans of Mountain Dew?

Ruthless Grandma Learns Husband Cheated, Takes Revenge On Mistress


It's as if with age can come deepened levels of complete and utter ruthlessness. @sassygran gifted the world of TikTok a video where she breaks down exactly how she went about taking nothing short of a pro revenge on her rascal of a cheating husband. Apparently much of the heat ended up landing on her husband's mistress. 

The mistress knew that the guy was married all along, so it's only natural that she ended up suffering some of the blowback for her poor decision. Apparently, after the revenge was taken, granny went ahead raised the children on her own, and eventually started up a daycare where mothers on welfare didn't have to sweat it about paying for the actual daycare. 

The Stupidest Reasons Companies Fired People


Unfortunately, a ton of us have had our run-ins with being fired from companies over the dumbest matters. Honestly, sometimes it can end up being for the best. Life is far too short to put yourself through nothing short of a hellish experience just because you're committed to chasing the next paycheck. There's always going to be another gig out there that can pay you a decent enough amount of money, without you having to bid farewell to your soul in the process. Sometimes just quitting the job in the first place or getting fired, actually opens up the opportunity for a far better job to present itself. For some more career drama check out some of the biggest red flags that people got during their job interviews. 

Man Puts Sauce On Expensive Steak Prepared By Girlfriend, Asks If He's In The Wrong


The world's filled with many folks who can get very particular when it comes to how they like their steaks prepared. It's not beyond reason to draw the assumption that there are plenty of people who would pitch absolute temper tantrums over any kinds of sauce being put on their steaks. I mean hey, maybe you're someone who has always enjoyed rocking a sizable amount of ketchup with your steak. To each their own. 

Doesn't mean that other people are going to necessarily understand what kind of wave you're on though. With all of that steak talk out of the way, let's take a closer look at the drama that broke out between a couple over a boyfriend deciding to put sauce on an expensive steak that was thoughtfully prepared by his girlfriend. 

Twitter Thread: Terminally Ill Children Describe Their Favorite Things In Life


If you're not ready for a stirring feels trip, then bail out now. This Twitter thread from @AlastairMcA30 features a collection of profound insights from terminally ill children. The wisdom is deep in what they have to say. If anything, it's a thread like this with the insights that the kids were able to provide, that definitely goes to show that there's so much in life that we take far too seriously. When you get caught up in taking life too seriously, you end up missing the whole point that there's so much of it that's just here to be thoroughly enjoyed. 

Of course, a great way to go about enjoying the treasures that this life has to offer is to double down on being as present as possible. If you're constantly getting carried along on panicked thought streams where you're projecting yourself out into the future land of scary what-ifs, or living in the past, you won't be able to enjoy the beautiful moments when they're actually right in front of you. Just a good thing to keep in the back of your mind.

There are some landlords out there who are looking for any reason at all to keep that security deposit.

For one that went even further, here's one where the landlord tried to keep the deposit and lost in court.

When TV Writers Don't Know What Hacking Is


Gotta thank NCIS for this wonderful television moment. Sure, we're not expert hackers either, but we know that stopping a hacking attempt is more complicated than throwing as many hands at the keyboard as possible and making it go clickity clack. It's not a piano. And who knew the unstoppable defense against hacking was simply unplugging your monitor?

Romanian Guy Accidentally Learns To Speak Perfect English, Explains How


TikToker @turtleimpaler had a video go viral, where he's shown explaining the process behind him accidentally learning how to speak English.

Joe Wilkinson has definitely had better days. What a series of unfortunate events for Wilkinson.

That British humor is something else, man. 

Impressive Creations of Weird Taste


All in all it's good to know that it's possible to weave a wicker toilet. It's not clear exactly what it's for, but it definitely counts as an impressive creation of dubious taste. Everyone has their own style, and whether that's golden hot dog statues or chest tattoos of Scooby Doo, there's always someone out there willing to make an extremely competent version of it. They may be of questionable taste, but they're definitely impressive creations.

People's Craziest Wedding Fails


Part of me isn't entirely convinced that some of these "wedding fails" from a viral thread on Twitter weren't mere Freudian slips. Hopefully not, because there'd be the potential for some very dramatic and trashy backstories if that were the case. Take for instance, the groom who accidentally said one of the bridesmaid's names during the wedding vows. That's a tough look, my dude. Maybe these people's wedding fails will make you feel better about your own moments when weddings ended up erring the side of complete disasters. It's very hard to keep such a big event completely together. There's always a fail lurking right around the corner. For some more wedding drama, check out the time that a couple had their wedding in sign language, and how the mom "couldn't handle it." 

Choosing Beggar Tries To Haggle Over Artist's Pricing, Gets Rejected, Turns Nasty


This is definitely not the first time that we've seen a choosing beggar pitch a fit over a completely reasonable pricing being offered up, and we're sure that it unfortunately won't be the last time. It's just wild, man. The sheer amount of selfish ignorance. Like, they make a whole fuss out of being rejected by an artist who is just trying to make their own money during hard times. Where's the understanding? 

The Stupidest Injuries People Have Sustained


No injury is smart, but some are certainly dumber than others. Whether it came from a seemingly inconsequential source, a poor decision, or just plain hubris, most of us have sustained otherwise avoidable injuries that at least make for an okay story. Some are dumb and embarrassing freak injuries. Other injuries are just stupid.

Scorpion Escapes Tank, Panicked Hunt Ensues


The idea of having 25 tarantulas as pets in your home might send a pure and icy shot of chills down your spine, but for some folks, tarantulas are nothing short of adorable. On top of that, this particular pet owner also had a pet scorpion. As it turns out, that pet scorpion had a bit of a moment where it was able to break free from its living quarters, and apparently had ended up posting up right where its owner was going to lay her head for sleep. Just imagining a scorpion running across your face is enough to make the idea of sleep seem like a wildly unrealistic pursuit. Like, no thank you.

A Minivan-load of Dad-Tier Memes and Puns


Why do dads love puns? Because the other jokes they want to say are so disrespectful and abhorrently filthy that if they said them, no one would trust them with children.

So throw on those jeans, pile the kids into the car, drive to the soccer game and patiently sit through daderrific dad jokes that just nailed it.

Satisfying Moments Of Alignment For The World's Perfectionists

Woman's Friend Secretly Sets Her Up For Blind Date, Woman Already Has Boyfriend


It's hard to believe that this person's even real in the first place. The disgusting lack of boundaries and respect from this woman's "friend" is enough to leave you questioning how they even ended up being friends in the first place. I mean, to have the audacity to set your friend up for a blind date when they already have a partner is pretty mind-blowing. Thus, it's no wonder that this woman didn't want to be her friend's bridesmaid anymore. Sounds like the bride is already well on her way toward being nothing short of a bridezilla. 

Man Shares 10 Things He Learned From 20 Years Of Marriage


Marriage is commonly known as an emotional rollercoaster. When you commit to another human being for the rest of your life through sickness and health, you're pretty much signing up for a riveting journey of ups and downs, wins and losses, and pain and ecstasy with someone who you'll find yourself both madly in love with at times, and completely enraged by at other times.
