TikToker Ignites Backlash Over Sketchy McDonald's "Hack"


Yeah, and to be clear, this is in no way a "hack." We're talking about a straight up criminally dumb criminal kind of scam. These kids are playing with fire. We just wonder how long it's going to be for them to get their rightful comeuppance.

Stuntman Robbie Maddison Skydives On Motorcycle, Backflips Multiple Times


If you're at all a fan of the world's extreme, adrenaline-charged sports you might've heard the name Robbie Madison thrown around before. The 40-year-old stunt man has claimed multiple world records and picked up some medals at the X Games along the way. However, Madison decided to slow down over the more recent years after "dying five times." Nowadays he keeps himself busy with skydiving, pilot training, and various stunts in the water. All seemed "chill" enough until Madison decided to go ahead and skydive on a motorcycle, and backflip multiple times in the process. We just hope that the bike landed on its intended target. 

Will Ferrell Crashes Ryan Reynold's TikTok Performance

Jerk Cuts In Line, Customer Tinkers With Jerk's Bike For Petty Revenge


One of the elements that run rampant throughout many grocery stores is that a whole lot of customers are just trying to take care of their necessary shopping as quickly as they can. Fortunately, this doesn't result in too many instances of people just being downright rude to one another. However, every now and again a wildly entitled customer comes around who just refuses to play by the rules. The rules are there to try to keep the whole scene from descending into unmanageable chaos. It sounds like this guy learned his lesson when he went to bike those groceries on home. Check out another glorious petty revenge where a tech savvy employee took revenge on a cookie-stealing coworker.

Old People Who Struggled To Master Social Media


Most of us have some older relatives on Facebook who just don't seem to get it. They'll try to use their own status as a google search bar, try to talk to Mark Zuckerberg directly, and respond to innocuous posts in extremely angry all caps. We should give these old people wrangling with social media some credit for having to navigate technology that only came out when they were well into adulthood, but we should also acknowledge that sending a direct message to Walmart and demanding Todd be fired is an objectively dumb thing to do. But here we are, watching old people do their best on social media.

If this is the type of person who thinks this is a reasonable way to go about things, maybe it's clear why they had to move in such a hurry anyway.

Funny Tweets To Grind Boredom Into The Dirt


Twitter is like if you took a bunch of carrier pigeons, made them carry everyone's most weird and inconsequential thoughts, then shot them out of a cannon into a tornado, then had to scoop all the remains with a snow shovel into a dumpster full of tires, lit it on fire, and tried to read the letters as they burned and floated away. So naturally, there's some good stuff in there. Here are some more funny tweets to build character and cultivate strength.

Sayings and Behaviors That Give Away Americans

Cursed Foods Straight From The Jowls Of Heck


Taste is subjective, but sometimes it's obvious when something is wrong. Like the case of guilty pizzas who committed terrible crimes, there are moments when food stops being food and starts looking more like Cronenburg-style body horror. Who would even want to look at these cursed foods of the grayest pallor. C'mon, look at em.

Nasty Managers That Drove Their Employees To Madness


Many of us have muddled through the soul-sucking experience that is working a customer service gig under a maniacal manager.

If this thread got you going, check out these customer service memes to dull the grind.

Electrician Discovers Unwanted Guest In Couple's Attic, Emotional Rollercoaster Ensues


It's certainly not every day that you have an electrician come through your home to do their thing, only to go on to learn that there's a rodent chillin up in the attic, living like an absolute king. I can't even begin to imagine what must've been going through this guy's brain when he got the update from the electrician. Like. Part of me just kind of wishes that it actually was a bougie raccoon posted up in the attic, munchin' on some snow crabs after all of the hysterics. Oh well. You win some, you lose some.

A whole lot of the "wisdom" that we can end up coming by in this crazy life is picked up through a variety of tough experiences.

Maybe this AskReddit thread that's filled with various tidbits of wisdom from married people will serve to deter you from actually seeing the whole marriage thing through. Or, you might find that you're that much more committed to tying the knot with someone. 

Son Can't Afford Rent, Moves Back In With Parents, Dad Sets Rules, Son Flips Out


Life loves to be difficult. Just when it seems like things might be flowing along smoothly enough, bam, a curveball gets tossed your way. Sometimes, if you're lucky enough that results in having to temporarily move back in with your folks until you're able to lock down your next gig. With that being said it sounds like this kid has just a little bit of immature entitlement going on. So, when his dad went ahead and set some ground rules, the kid did not handle the whole situation too well. As you might be able to imagine, the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community were quick to side with the dad on this one. But hey, you be the judge.

Ashton Kutcher's GameDay Appearance Gets Drowned Out By Obnoxious Fans


This is a solid example of why it's generally the best life practice to do what one can to keep their personal lives as private as possible. It came to light awhile ago that Ashton Kutcher and his wife Mila Kunis don't exactly do the whole showering with the soap thing as often as many folks are accustomed to hearing. So, when Kutcher made his appearance on GameDay the fans went ahead and trolled him extra hard. 

Goat And Rooster Team Up To Save Chicken From Hawk Attack


This hawk thought it could just swoop in and take out a chicken, but the other farm animals weren't about to let that happen. These farm animals have each other's backs better than some of our own friends who don't return our calls, Bryan.

Apparently this guy's "thing" was a cultish insistence on white shirts.

Freaky Times People Dodged Life-Ruining Bullets


Sometimes it's obvious right away that you've dodged a bullet, like when you're looking at a fresh hole in your wall where you were standing a second ago. Other times it's less obvious, like discovering your high school crush is now on the no-fly list. We've all had some close calls, and sometimes it just makes us shiver to think about what could have gone wrong in our own lives. But learning about other people's close calls is pretty cool.

Funny Signs That Made Humor Very Public


There's just something nice about sarcasm in a thousand point font. Signs dispense jokes and wisdom when we didn't necessarily ask for them, but that's good because sometimes we didn't realize it was exactly what we needed. There's something so confident yet folksy about jokes that are large and in public.

Tech Savvy Employee Takes Revenge On Cookie-Stealing Coworker


It's just never a good idea to play around with the people in your company that run the tech side of things. They have a whole lot of knowledge-backed power available at their disposal.

Take that one person's roommate who would surprise attack them with a unicorn head around the place. Totally harmless fun, right? 

Manager Won't Give Employee Raise, Gets Called Out


The thing about not paying your hard working and highly efficient employees the kind of money that they're deserved is that it has a tendency to backfire. In this case, the employee on hand wasn't too pleased at all about not being given the kind of raise that they felt they deserved. So, it sounds like that resulted in them starting to take a whole lot more PTO. It wouldn't be beyond reason to suggest that there's a strong possibility that they're out there hunting for a new gig. Hopefully, this manager got the kind of wakeup call that they clearly needed. 

Worst Things People Did That Stemmed From Good Intentions


Unfortunately, the reality is that good intentions don't always result in logically sound actions. Like, for instance, you have someone purchasing their friend a cat. While that's a nice enough gesture, it's also just setting that same friend up for having to deal with a whole lot of extra work. Hopefully none of these moments strike any chords with your own life situation.
