Quietest Dishwasher In The World


Unfortunately far too many of us have had our time in the sun with having to deal with miserably loud dishwashers. It can drive one to the brink of literal insanity. However, this dishwasher is out there doing it different. Look at that thing go. 

Tom Waits' Unhinged Press Conference Is Art At Its Finest


In 2008, American singer/songwriter Tom Waits announced a tour with a very peculiar "press conference" video that is one part delicious rambling and four or five parts Tim and Eric sketch. We wished that every musician took a lesson from this and subsequently announced their tours with "inspired" press conferences like this, but for some reason that wasn't in the cards.

TikToker Films Boyfriend Checking Out Girl Right In Front Of Her


Clearly this relationship is rocking all kinds of red flags thanks to this guy's inability to keep his eye's off another girl. He's literally doing it right in front of her. Like? Come on, man.

Tumblr Thread: People's Brains Go Nuts Around Pets


The weirdest thing always seems to happen to our bizarre brains whenever we see a baby or an adorable little animal. We just become senseless, or rather, filled with overwhelming adoration. Maybe you'll end up relating to this Tumblr thread about just how silly we can get around cute animals. For some more gold from the world of Tumblr check out this Tumblr post about a dad who pretended to hate a cat until the real, very wholesome truth came out.

Dad Punishes Son For Calling Him By His First Name


There are absolutely certain things in this crazy life that warrant punishments. And these punishments can be especially necessary when we're growing up and getting the gist of differentiating between right and wrong. With that being said, it sounds like this kid was just downright committed to getting a rise out of their parent. Some folks in the comments section expressed their disapproval over this dad's decision to discipline his son over the fact that his son repeatedly called him by his first name, even after that was established as not being okay. 

Cereal-Flipping Mom Gets Denied Her Obscene Grain Load


There has got to be a better way to earn a living than scamming your local supermarket and inconveniencing everyone in the process. It's like she saw an episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy and was like "Yes. Yes this is the way I will live my life." Anyone who's worked retail has had to deal with their fair share of scheming customers, like this rotten salad lady who got banished from the deli section.

Absolute Units Too Large For This Earth


It's a good thing Absolute Units are so rare, because if they were everywhere, there simply wouldn't be enough space for the rest of us. The multi-pound carrots, giant gems and honkin' horses are testaments to just how big things can get. And one can't help stare and go " Damn, that is some G I R T H."

Reliable Ways To Tell If Someone's A Jerk


We only have a limited time on this earth, and while we don't get to choose a lot of things about our own circumstances, we usually have some amount of power over who we get to spend our time with. Specifically, it's a good idea to know when you're talking to a laughably entitled person who doesn't see other people as equals, or is so self absorbed they just see social situations as opportunities to see how miserable they can end up being. If you fear that this is you, may we interest you in some more personality traits that people can't stand.

Strange And Cursed Images to Pump Up The Weird


Even if we had the context, the double packaged bananas, extra long toilets and refurbished burgers in here still wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. Maybe we don't deserve context. Maybe the world is just doomed to be cursed. Maybe all we can do is sit back with some cursed food and watch it all pass us by like some kind of nonsense-fueled horror parade.

Guy Determined to Get With Crush Is Given Rude Wake Up Call By Best Friend


It's always good to be there for your best mates in their time of need. Sometimes all any of us need is a little push or an optimistic pep talk in order to do that thing we've been waiting to do or make that change we've been looking at making.

We've all given pep talks to our friend and encouraged them to make a move with a crush that they've been too nervous to talk to. To a certain point, when you're the one needing the pep talk, you almost expect your friends to give you exactly that. But we also owe it to ourselves and to our friends to be honest with them, sometimes a pep talk isn't what they need. Sometimes they need a wake up call so that they can snap back to reality.


I'm inclined to say that the poster made the correct call here when he decided to confront his friends behaviour rather than commiserate with him. It's pretty clear that Danny's behavior has crossed a line and he needs to move on and leave Gwen alone.

What's your take on this one?

Art History Memes For The Highly Cultured Among Us


Why is it that no one thinks the layman can appreciate fine art? We can totally sit through a big long boring art exhibition full of paintings commissioned by Dukes and Lords and all that junk. We can even walk around a gallery, totally stifling our urge to touch the paintings and go "I thought it wasn't completely flat. That must be the brushstrokes." We can absolutely appreciate how light interplays with scenery and we very much relate to any artist who was completely unappreciated in their life only to die penniless and insane. We like art.

Diner Regular Emotionally Implodes Over Correct Eggs Order


Working in a diner can be a particularly tough gig. You're on the frontlines of having to deal with bleary-eyed customers that can oftentimes end up packing zero patience for their orders not showing up at superhuman speeds, and being nothing short of perfect. Well, apparently sometimes the order showing up exactly as it was requested isn't even enough. Take this diner regular and the temper tantrum that she unfortunately ended up pitching.

There are far too many cases of taxi drivers being unimaginable pricks to perfectly well meaning human beings, for no reason at all.

Entitled People Who Stained The World With Their Absurd Demands


People will find things to complain about. They'll split hairs with surgical precision just to complain about free donuts.
