Mom Yells At Son For Staying Home And Playing COD, Cringe Ensues


This transcends the realm of being funny. Honestly, it's just kind of embarrassing. Yet, sometimes you just need to sit back and let the cringe ride. The cringe can bring you back, and deepen your appreciation for how ridiculous human beings can be. 

The Largest and Heaviest Metal Forge in the World


Did you plan on watching the largest and heaviest metal forge in the world go to work today? Probably not. Yet, here you are. It's strangely mesmerizing. Enjoy. 

Things People Did Once And Will Never Do Again


There are a few reasons to do something once. Maybe it was an amazing experience. Maybe it was hard, or painful, or there was only one opportunity for you to do that thing. Or maybe it was so stupid that the consequences of your actions were just too much to bare. Life is full of opportunities, and some of those opportunities, like hiking in the jungle or frying bacon naked are things that are best only indulged in once, or not at all.

Guy Secretly Trains Roommate To Not Respond To Morning Alarms


There are far too many of us that have ended up having to deal with terribly frustrating roommates that can't be bothered to be considerate and generally mindful of sharing the same living space. It sounds like this dude had to deal with quite the monstrously clueless human being. The fact that his roommate wanted to have a date over for the night, while they shared the same room is just a bit of a red flag. So, when he hit his breaking point, he decided to enact a calculated revenge that involved training his roommate to not respond to his morning alarms. Pretty brilliant. Kind of twisted. For some more roommate drama, check out this pro revenge story about a roommate who thought she was sneaky, and ended up owing $400.

People's Best Sophisticated Insults


We definitely have a deep appreciation for the rare insults here. The comments sections and social media feeds have long since hosted fine displays of banter, and people generally getting into it over the most trivial of matters. With that being said, it's always nice to see someone go above and beyond with the insults that they choose to dispense. This fun AskReddit thread has people dishing out their most polished sophisticated insults. You might end up adding some of these to your arsenal. 

Customer Rejects Art, Demands It Be Redrawn, Gets Kindly Asked To Pound Sand


Being wishy-washy is bad enough, but when you go back on a deal and demand someone redo a job for less money, those are grounds for some unkind words between parties. Being an artist is a hard enough gig without people outright rejecting the work they specificaly asked you to do. For some extra frustration and mind-boggling decision-making, here are some entitled people and their fantastically bold moves.

Husband Can't Accept Wife's Use Of Candles, Drama Ensues


There are some things in this life that are worth fighting for. When it comes to the matter of fake candles though, this ain't it, man. Yet, as it goes in this crazy life... some people need the reality checks more than others. Clearly, this guy fits the bill for that. 

Food Memes To Fill The Hole In Our Hungry Lives


Food is pretty great. And we live in one of the best food times in human history. Never before has a single human had such unfettered access to this much explosive nacho cheese flavor, and frankly that's a beautiful thing. These food memes may satiate our deep hunger for laughter, but also, our thirst for cheese sauce grows. It grows mightily.

Incompetent Manger Insists On Doing Job Wrong, Crashes And Burns


There are mean bosses. There are stupid bosses. But some of the most frustrating bosses to work under are the bosses who don't know how to do their job. There's nothing quite like being behind schedule just because your boss is insisting that you do your job inefficiently and improperly, especially when they can't accept that the reason things are going wrong is because of their insistence. For some incredible management overreach, here's the Walmart manager who fired a guy from a job that wasn't his.

Man Discovers Dora The Explorer-Themed Gangster Car, Emotional Rollercoaster Ensues


You better believe that a Dora the Explorer-themed car is going to go on an adventure. In this case though, there were bullet holes in the car. Like, what compels someone to fire off on a Dora the Explorer-themed car? Purely ludicrous. If you want to keep the Tumblr gems going, check out this Tumblr post about a vegan girl who gets served a real burger, and then the educational Tumblr thread that ensued.

Obvious Scams That People Still Fall For


Unfortunately, there are far too many scams out there that people fall victim to. The reality is that there are just some people that are committed to taking advantage of others. If anything, the hope here is that this kind of AskReddit thread serves an educational purpose and helps steer you clear of any obvious scams that you otherwise might fall prey to. 

Twitter Thread: People That Quit Their Jobs With No Notice


Everyone has their breaking point. There's only so much that you can put up with on a daily basis. The paycheck only accounts for so much of that nonsense. This Twitter thread pays homage to people that decided enough was enough, and proceeded to quit their jobs with no notice. You can only imagine what kinds of responses ensued. 

Guy Gives the Hard Truth to His Hypocritical Fiancé When He Teaches Her About Mutual Tolerance


Man, people are tough. You know?

It's crazy how you can love someone so deeply despite being confronted with their glaringly obvious flaws. In some funny way, those things can actually make you more attracted to them and love them even more. 

Sometimes those things are a huge red flag and a huge turnoff and they might not come up until years into a relationship. Only emerging when some particularly unique situation coaxes it out of the depths of their personality. 

It's one of the crazy things about any sort of relationship. It's easy to fool yourself into the false security of the fact that everyone else thinks and views the world as you do. It's almost like the default setting our brain goes into when dealing with other people. In reality, it couldn't be further from the truth. 

Groom's Brother-In-Law Hands Out Wedding Invitations At His Wedding, Gets Told To Leave


Of all the stunts that you can pull at someone else's wedding this right here, ranks as one of the lowest of the low moves to make. Seriously, the level of cluelessness that's running amok in this scenario pretty much escapes all rhyme and reason. The fact that this groom got a hard time from the in-laws over his decision to ask the brother-in-law to leave after his wildly inappropriate stunt is another sloppy layer of dysfunctional in this disastrous mess of a situation. 

Cat Moonwalks With The Best Of Them


You could call it Michael Catson. You could call it Meowchael Jackson. Whatever you wanna call it, there's no denying that either that cat is making good use of a slippery floor or there's been a glitch in the matrix and it's time to call Todd Howard to patch up this bug.

Local News Tries To Connect With Millennials, Cringe Tidal Wave Ensues


I just want to know who had this idea in the first place? Did they memorize a script, or just freestyle the whole thing. The mess of cringe in this video is enough to stop you in your tracks. They had to have hit the company happy hour extra hard after this one. 

Floating An Anvil On Liquid Mercury


The crazy thing to ponder is how when all of that metal is busy sloshing around, it sounds just like water. Pretty neat. 

Cosmetics Influencer Airs Out Karen Customer's Spicy DMs


So apparently, Karen had some serious beef with this cosmetics influencer and her decision to call her customers "babe." Of all the things in this mad world to pitch a fit about.... Karen, this ain't it. It's an interaction like this that can deepen your sympathy for what artists and sellers have to deal with on a regular basis, when it comes to downright disagreeable customers. 

Foodie Only Eats Fancy Salt, Suffers Iodine Deficiency


As dumb as it seems, it is possible to suffer from a nutritional deficiency while maintaining a full-time job in a developed nation. Using big pink salt makes us feel cool, but it's also important to remember that there's a very real reason decided to add iodine to table salt decades ago. By all means eat the fancy pink salt, but for real, you need some iodine. For some dietary drama, here's an educational tumblr thread that kicked off after a vegan girl got served a real burger.

Stupid Ways People Accidentally Injured Themselves


People are good learners, but there are some lessons that are absolutely unnecessary. It doesn't take too many stupid injuries to realize that it's a bad idea to grab a curling iron like it's a bus pole or catch the wrong end of a knife. Yet we still sustain dumb and embarrassing freak injuries because apparently, education is an ongoing process. 

Snake-Wielding Karen Gets Kicked Out of Pumpkin Farm, Business Responds


Sure, there might not be a sign explicitly saying "don't bring your snake to the pumpkin farm" but one could also argue that it's not encouraged. Not sure what kind of delusion this lady is snorting to think that local news will be interested in her mistreatment at the hands of the pumpkin people but god speed to her and the hole she wants to dig herself. For another fun customer interaction, here's an entitled customer who left a lying review for a restaurant and got banned.

Customer Berates Technician, Gets Humbled Quickly


Tech support employees have to deal with all kinds of unnecessarily angry, downright disagreeable customers that seem like they're on a collective vendetta to unleash their own misery on everyone else that they can. Well, the good news is that there are a fair number of tech support employees out there that are more than ready to meet all the nonsense with their own series of revenges and malicious compliances. Check out another tech support tale with this story about an angry lady who demanded one billion GB of email storage.

40 Cake Fails That Are Unbelievably Funny | Cheezburger


Many of us have a deep appreciation for an impressively baked cake. You can feast your eyes on the attentive handiwork of someone who clearly had their act together enough to not completely mess everything up. Maybe you got so hopelessly lost in your feverish desires for more cake in your life that you actually got that wild idea in your head that you could go and bake a cake of your own. Then, suddenly, the baked creation that you once thought held such promise ends up coming out of the oven looking like one of those unforgettably monstrous cake fails.

From there, you have a couple different routes available to you. You can crack on and slice that cake wreck up, and proceed to eat it like there's nothing wrong with the picture at all. In all fairness, just because a cake looks like a disaster-piece doesn't mean that it's going to taste like a stomach-turning crime against cakes. The cake might even invite you back for excited seconds. Or, you can toss it in the trash and make a frantic, shame-ridden field trip to your nearest bakery where you'll be able to pick up a cake from someone who knew what they were doing.

The reality is that baking is its own kind of art form. It takes a whole lot of work to build up your baking skillset enough so that you're able to churn out cakes that you could genuinely envision people wanting to purchase from their local bakeries. The good news with all of this talk of cake fails though is that with enough time and patience, you too can level yourself up so that you're able to bake the cake that you deserve.

In the meanwhile though, it's more fun to celebrate people's various attempts at baking cakes, that ended up resulting in complete cake-tatstrophes. Sometimes, what you really need when you miss the mark on your own attempt at baking that next cake is to be gently reminded that there are plenty of people out there that are completely face-planting when it comes to their attempts at baking delectable cakes.

A good old-fashioned cake wreck can actually end up giving you that boost of confidence that you might've needed. You know, the boost of confidence that tells you that it's okay to fail because there's someone else out there who thought they'd just mosey on over to their local grocery store, pick up some cake baking ingredients, and throw together one of those birthday cakes for a friend... only to realize that their whole selfless journey was going to result in a cake monster. Maybe, all of these glorious cake fails will inspire you to go to such lengths that you actually try to throw a cake baking party, where you and friends intentionally tack on cake baking projects that are well outside your abilities, with the purest of intentions to fail in a blaze of frosted glory. And now, let's dive on into a pit of messy cake fails. 

Entitled People and Their Fantastically Bold Moves


It's not most people's first instinct to demand something for free and then badmouth a stranger when they don't get it. Most people don't try to file a police report because a medium-priced car is parked on their block. And most people don't get personally upset when complete strangers get a raise. But by definition, "most people" doesn't cover everyone. And when the entitled folks come out of the woodwork, we're all worse for it. For some delectable encounters, here are some shameless cheapskates who were their own worst enemies.

Food Memes To Satiate Our Deep Hunger For Laughter


Everybody's gotta eat. It's one of the only things that ties together our collective human experience on this planet. That's what makes food memes so dang relatable. Food isn't shameful. It's a need. So we should be open about our relationship with food and embrace it with humor. We're all public masticators, and we all swallow. 

Vegan Girl Gets Served Real Burger, Ignites Important Educational Tumblr Thread


There's no denying the fact that it can be a tiresome process muddling through a customer service gig. There will be days when it feels like time itself is stumbling along with literal ankle weights on. It very well might feel like you're never going to have that opportunity to clock out. The thing about it is though, that it's still crucial to make good on customers' potentially "extra" orders. Sometimes those specialized orders are set up the way they are because the customer is living with a life-threatening food allergy. Or, in this case, you have a vegan girl who was served a real burger by an inconsiderate dad. If someone hasn't eaten meat in a while it can throw their whole system into a state of shock. So, you might be able to imagine where the Tumblr thread ended up going. People got fired up. Check out some more Tumblr gems that glint in the moonlight over here.

Guy Breaks Up With Girlfriend, Tells Her To Move Out, Feels Guilty


At a certain point, you've just got to put yourself first. Especially when it comes to a relationship. If it seems like things are headed nowhere fast between you and your partner, it's only going to benefit everyone involved that much more if you call things what they are, and head on those separate ways. Of course, it's a process that might be easier said than done sometimes. Take this dude for instance. Things are clearly finished. Yet, he still feels some type of way about forcing his girlfriend to move out. I guess there's a layer to the story that makes it understandable: she is going to have to do a bit of a life reset. 

22 Of The Best Insults People Have Heard


When you hear that unmistakably polished, razor-sharp insult all that you can hope is that you're not on the receiving end of it. A rare insult is its own kind of art form.

That goes without saying, that this collection of the best insults that people have ever heard are definitely pushing it at certain times.

What Happens When A Water Bottle Hits Molten Steel


The world of metalwork is absolutely wild. For example, if anyone wanted to know how giant steel spheres are made, then you might wanna see this video of making a steel sphere with explosives. But on the less controlled side of things, here's what happens when a regular old bottle of water gets thrown into a vat of molten steel. Spoiler, it's violent.
