Time Lapse Video Of Ants Eating Cheesecake Is Immensely Satisfying


You just never know when you're going to come across that next video that was clearly not originally intended to be deeply satisfying, but then ends up being nothing short of majestically hypnotic. There's just something about watching those ants get to work on that cheesecake that makes for a strangely soothing show. 

Rare Video Footage Shows When Dr. Dre First Discovered Eminem


Talk about the colossal meeting of two true modern day geniuses. The energy in that room must've been palpable. 

Yak Gets Juked, Accidentally Performs A Yak-Flip


This yak learned that it's all fun and games until you try to come up on someone who's got feet, now he's out here tumbling down a hill like a got-dang Olympic gymnast. Nature is beautiful. Even when stuff isn't doing backflips. But also especially when stuff is doing backflips

Tumblr Thread: Darth Vader Is The Absolute Queen Of Drama


So, as it turns out, Darth Vader doesn't get nearly enough flack for his capacity to be an absolutely unhinged drama queen. But hey, leave it to the wonderful wandering minds of Tumblr to lead us yet again down a rabbit hole that we'd otherwise never have explored. If you enjoyed this bit of gold from Tumblr, check out this Tumblr thread about how humans are actually space orcs.

Groom's Brother Calls Fiancée Gold Digger, Gets Kicked Out Of Party


The thing about the world's disrespectful bunch of folks is that they absolutely hate being called out on their antics. In this case, it sounds like the brother who got rightfully called out for his inappropriate remark did not take too kindly to the necessary reality check at all. It needed to happen, man. For some more wedding drama check out this post about the time that a bride's friend wanted to use her wedding for photos, and then how the bride refused.

Real-life Illusions Caused By Weird Perspective


All in all, our eyes are pretty good at what they do. They can tell that a tree isn't a hamburger. Thanks eyes. But when they do screw up, they screw up big, with strange illusions caused by skewed perspective. For just a few seconds, our dumb eyes can make us think that giants exist, or that we're looking at someone's lost butt lying on the street. But that's not a forgotten road ass, that's just a double-take-causing image of skewed perspective.

Dude Brings Mother To Tinder Date, It Is Ashes


While there are a crazy amount of stories of the worst dates people went on and first dates where people said "screw this I'm out," it's at least a refreshing reminder of how incredibly low the bar is, and how easy it is to not blow a date. Regardless of their state of corporeal being, everyone knows it's better to meet the parents later on. Also, for god's sake spend the four dollars for bacon.

Impressively Lazy Times People Said "Not My Job"


It's absolutely astonishing, the amount of junk people get away with before being fired. And there's kind of a beauty to it, too. The not my job moments from these masters of negligence are nothing short of artwork, crafted with the utmost non-care. May the radiant unprofessionalism of not my job moments persist, and live again to inconvenience someone who could really use a functional goddamn staircase.

Safety Fails That Would Have OSHA Foaming At The Mouth


Anyone who has ever worked a physical job has probably had to do make unsavory and risky decisions for about 12 dollars an hour, 10 after taxes. We'd rather not do things like this, but when your boss is breathing whiskey-flavored breath down your neck and telling you to get on the top of the forklift or get fired, OSHA unapproved moments of safety failure tend to happen. And then there are the dudes who tape 3 ladders together to save a 30-minute trip to the hardware store. Everyone has priorities.

The Worst Things Kids Brought To Show And Tell


Schools are, by definition, places of learning. And what comes with learning? Making weird, horrible mistakes. So naturally, students got down to some weird stuff in class, and we remember it all pretty fondly. Be they the wild things kids did to become legends or weird things teachers had to confiscate from students, school was sometimes, surprisingly, not boring.

Bride Calls Mother-In-Law Pathetic For Wearing White On Wedding Day


The moral judges of Reddit's AITA community were not forgiving in the comments section on this one. It sounds like this bride displayed a deeply troubling lack of empathy and understanding when it came to her mother-in-law choosing to sport white on wedding day. 

Compliance With Company Timesheets Results In Employee's 40% Pay Increase


Honestly, it's just impressive that someone took the time out of their day to read the dang contract and then approve the rate that was agreed upon. It also sounds like this boss might just actually be a great person. If you enjoyed this tale of malicious compliance check out this recent post about a profoundly salty old man who pitched a full on fit over some salted licorice.

Tumblr Thread Goes Off The Rails With The History Knowledge


We can always count on the wonderful ever wandering minds of the Tumblr world to lead us down just the kind of bizarre rabbit holes that we'd otherwise never have thought to explore. In this case, the Tumblr thread delivers big time in terms of wild historical knowledge. The moral of the story is definitely to be specific. The devil's in the details, man. For some more gold from the Tumblr world, check out this Tumblr thread about scientists and their terrific superstitions in the lab.

The Easiest Ways People Ended Up Earning Money


People can get remarkably inventive when it comes to figuring out ways to make money while putting in impressively minimal levels of effort. Also though, dang, folks will make some unforgettably bizarre requests. Who knows though, maybe some of these will serve as their own kind of inspiration if you've been on the lookout for a new way to pick up some extra cash. Apparently there are folks out there that'll offer a crisp 10 spot in exchange for a little spit on their pizza. 

Gordon Ramsay Assembles Saddest Grilled Cheese Of All Time


Gordon, my dude, that cheese is anything but melted. We're talking about literal blocks of cheese, my guy. I just wonder if he was aware of how much aggression he'd awaken in the comments section when he went about assembling this "grilled cheese" sandwich. Maybe he did it for the views.

Tree Cutter Straddles Himself To Safety


There are times when all we can do is look around at the potential tree-chopping catastrophe we've just avoided and think to ourselves, "yeah I meant to do that." If not to save face after making a risky decision, but to just help us sleep at night. This guy could've had a far worse day than he did, but it just so happens he's good at balancing.

Rottweiler Picks Fight With German Shepard, German Shepard Silently Checks Rottweiler


This German Shepard didn't even need to let out a bark to make their commanding presence known. Seriously. Probably a situation where the German Shepard was all bite and no bark. Thank goodness things didn't escalate any further. 

Norwegian Guy Steals Mayor's Moment By Cutting Ribbon


This guy couldn't be bothered to respect the mayor's time to shine. I just wonder what the conversation was like after that ribbon was cut. Couldn't have gone down too smooth. 

Foreman's A Stickler About Punctuality, Employee Wastes An Hour Of Their Time


So, apparently the best course of action when you find yourself confronting the unfortunate reality that is having a foreman who is a completely helpless stickler with punctuality, is to quit and waste an hour of their time in the process. Clearly, this employee hit their breaking point. What ensued was definitely a deeply satisfying act of petty revenge. For another recent tale of revenge check out the time that a truck vandalized a mailbox, so a bunch of engineering students crafted a superhero mailbox.

Cursed and Weird Images From The Abyss of The Internet


Sometimes, we don't know what we're in the mood for. We don't know if we want to laugh, cry, or get angry. But that's okay, because being creeped out is just something that happens on it own, especially in the case of cursed images to feel weird about. So tuck into some strange and cursed images of internet weirdness and bask in the no-context freakishness of the world at large.

Entitled Dad Leaves Kids On Plane With Stranger, Ends Up Wholesomely


You can only hope the person you abandon your kids with is someone with professional childcare experience. While it's a not-so-noble dad move to foist the burden of your children onto a stranger, it's something else entirely to get furious around firearms, like this entitled dad who was furious his son needed permission to hold a gun. For more airplane shenanigans, here's a flight attendant's wildest stories.

The Dumbest Business Ideas People Have Seen


We all have brilliant ideas that are dumb upon review. We've all had dreams of starting a restaurant that only sells soup in fishbowls or whatever. Some of us just go ahead and spend a few hundred grand on that idea before realizing that it was stupid. Also, how do people keep thinking pyramid schemes are a good idea? At least there's something to be gleaned from learning about horrible but common financial decisions that people make.

Choosing Beggar Agrees On Price, Tries To Change It, Reality Check Ensues


Oh boy, these wildly entitled choosing beggars just keep coming right on out of the woodwork. It sounds like this choosy beggar was carrying themselves in such a way where it was only a matter of time before they got the necessary reality check. Maybe they should go and have a conversation with their manager about how 17 bucks for 10 hours of work could actually be a legitimate transaction. Check out some more entitled people who made the world a less friendly place over here.

Cheaters Describe Why They Cheated In The First Place


All the tea is being spilled in this AskReddit thread that has cheaters describing the various reasons that they decided to cheat in the first place. Cheating on a partner is one of the lowest things a person can do. Honestly, these are just plain old brutal. Hopefully they can serve as some motivation for other folks out there to never cross that line. 

People's Awkward Moments Of Facepalming Cringitude


They say that we only use 10% percent of our brainpower at any given time. The reality of this is that we totally can use 100% of our brain at once, but it's called "having a stroke." Long story short, it's safer to use less brain at any given time. And these folks, with their goofs, blunders and facepalm moments, were about as safe as it gets. For some straight up dumbness, here are facepalm moments made possible by the brutally stupid.

Tumblr Thread: Scientists Have Terrific Superstitions In The Lab


We're all superstitious people to some extent. One would assume that scientist and lab techs, whose jobs depend on objectivity and scientific rigor, would be the most rational at work. But nah, everyone's got their good luck charms. Be they Taiwanese snack foods or happy meal toys, these are the things that keep the machines running, sort of. For some more fun science junk, here's the sciences judged on lickability and a tumblr thread on why frogs have got weird bones.

Mom Makes Husband Go Alone With Kids To Disneyland, Asks If She's A Jerk


The thing about telling someone what they're going to be doing without taking any input at all is that it has a tendency to make that person that much more upset. Like, honestly, what did mom expect was going to happen in this whole scenario? Clearly, things were bound to pretty much shake out one way, and one way only. 

Tumblr Thread: Humans Are Space Orcs


We absolutely love it when this Tumblr thread makes its rounds. The whole concept is pretty dang fascinating. Basically, humans could very well be looked upon with nothing short of horrified fascination by an alien race, strictly because we do things like harm our planet. If you got a kick out this Tumblr story, check out another Tumblr thread about how the yarn community is filled with fiery drama.

Teen Calls Aunt Out At Dinner For Having Favorite Kid


It sounds like the Aunt was in the wrong on this one. Basically, the aunt was carrying out just the kind of behavior that ended up being very embarrassing for herself. Some people respond better to the swift and brutal reality checks than others. Plus, it sounds like this environment/timing might've been a bit dicey. With all of that being said, folks in the comments section seemed to be in agreement that the aunt getting called out was completely called for. 

Gordon Ramsay Trains And Cooks With Marines


Big shout out to the cameraman that had to tag along for this wild ride with Gordon Ramsay. He crushed it.
