Wholesome Memes To Hit The Feels Button


Sometimes all our computers and phones feel like boxes designed to make us angry and scared. That's a shame, since they can also be tools to remind us how generally people are pretty alright.

Customer Demands Kilo of Meat To Be Weighed, Gets Less Meat


The guy went through all this to have his meal weighed so things would be "fair" and by god he got his fairness.

Dudes Take The "Dumb and Dumber" Mini Bike Aspen Road Trip


Few of us wanted to live-out many of the scenes of Dumb and Dumber, but if Harry and Lloyd could make it to Aspen on this "hog," these guys thought they could to. Spines and mini-bikes weren't built for this. A few tire changes and a brake adjustment later and they made it to aspen on about 7 gallons of gas.

Camper Karen Expects Free Tie-Dye Shirt, Gets Denied, Has Temper Tantrum


I mean, this sounds like one awesome park ranger. He totally could've played that a different way, taken the side of camper Karen, and actually gone ahead with giving a perfectly peaceful, reasonable couple a hard time over nothing.

Frustrating Things People Turn Into Their Whole Personality


Liking things is good. It's important to like things. But as people, it's easy to get so wrapped up in our own likes and dislikes that we alienate those around us.
