Those Sunfishes are something else, man. They look like they're literally not of this dimension. Or like some aliens just dropped them off on planet earth to see how they'd fare. Also, can we take a moment of appreciation for the awesome amount of chill that sunfishes have.
Sys admins have to put up with all kinds of unnecessary nonsense while on the job. It could be a panicked mom who washed her kid's computer and then didn't understand why it didn't work. Or perhaps, something more outright absurd like what we have here. The dude's Karen coworker spilled a whole ton of water all over some power outlets, and then "didn't understand" how that would manifest in the power being cut out in her work station. Was she just too embarrassed to own up to the truth, or what? That seems like the most believable possibility.
Creativity is a good thing, but sometimes our creativity gets in the way of our sense and we end up making impressive creations of questionable taste. And that's not to say this stuff is useless either. People create effective low budget DIY solutions for their problems all the time. It's just that some ideas in practice tend to lack...uh... grace.
Anyone who has ever enduring the profound pain that is a back spasm knows that when those strike, it's no joke. You might find yourself questioning how you're going to come out the other end of the experience alive. A decent back spasm can test you to the very depths of your soul. In this case, it sounds like the back spasm was in a league of its own. Fortunately though, the dude was able to get the medical attention they needed. And hey, they got a great, unforgettable story out of the experience.
Having a saltwater tank isn't as easy as throwing some salt and water together in a jug like it's Kool-Aid and calling it a day. Karen wasn't having all this "responsible pet owner" talk, so this employee stepped in to show her exactly what she'd need to take care of a starfish. Of course, Karen didn't take kindly to this employee who didn't want her to slowly torture a starfish to death. Will the Karen customersof the world ever learn their lesson? Doubtful.
Many folks out there have experienced those relationships with partners that felt like they'd be with one another till they took their last breaths on this wild planet. And then, as can happen under the influence of time ceaselessly passing on by, the love that once blared with an unwavering strength for all to see, ends up losing its momentum. Sometimes, people just end up growing apart. That potential future can be a terrifying one to mull over, and this Tumblr user does an awfully effective job at poetically breaking down how love can wither away over time. Just proceed with caution, it might awaken the existential dread.
If you want to pivot into some more humorous, sparkling gems uncovered from the depths of the Tumblr realm check these out.
We don't live in a mathematically perfect world of right angles and whole numbers, and that's a problem. We're human, so off-center imperfections are the name of our game, and getting used to that reality never gets much easier. Just one "not my job" moment is enough to make something not work in a way that frustrates us completely, but there's not much we can do about it.
This mom decided to consult the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community to see whether or not she was in the wrong for enforcing a house rule that prevented her daughter from being able to sleep in the same bed as her partner. It sounds like the daughter didn't take too kindly to this house rule. Shocker. Then the mom insists that she's being punished by her daughter for enforcing a house rule. Honestly, it seems well within her daughter's right to not want to visit the house if she's having to deal with not being able to sleep in the same bed as her partner.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being smart. The world needs smart people. Like a lot. The problem is that dumb people have a tendency to think that they're smart. It could be caused by narcissism. It could be due to the fact that social media gives people a whole lot of space to talk about themselves. Either way these brain tyrants who think they're literal geniuses have a peculiar way of somehow being condescending and stupid at the same time. It's maddening.
It's one of the more novel and petty forms of revenge we've seen, but damn if it's not compelling. This tumblr user wanted to get back at their homophobic mother in a public show of force, so they landed on sharing her prized meatloaf recipe with the whole-ass internet. It also inspired another user to compile an entire compendium of spite recipes. They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but in this case it's a whole cookbook. There's never a dull moment when it comes to random tumblr gems.
People will fanfic anything and there is no way to escape it. Even if you're just an insurance mascot. This would be a lot worse if it were some tacky native advertising scheme to make insurance companies seem quirky, but in this case it really looks like people make insurance fan fiction for the love of the game. For some more unbridled creativity people threw together, here's an awesome tumblr thread about being a human on a Vulcan ship or this tumblr thread imagining college students living with the Addams family.
This tech support tale has just the right amount of humor in it. It's a nice break from the typical scenarios involving poor tech support employees having to deal with all kinds of wildly entitled Karens and other aggressively inconsiderate customers. In this case though, it's a mere situation involving a company prankster who decided that they'd play around with some keyboard keys to create chaos in the workplace. Those employees must've felt like they were enduring some kind of glitch in the matrix moment. For another tech support tale check out the time that a lazy manager got caught lying, and then how an employee ended up getting promoted.
While these are absolutely awesome to look at, we can't help but think that some of the trees can't have been too stoked about it. Also, just imagine crossing paths with one of these faces in the middle of a forest when the sun's going down and the eerie vibes of isolation in nature are already running amok. Just a little bit of yikes.
The best part about this shady leasing agent is they thought they'd go ahead and get away with some unadulterated BS, without the tenant actually reading the finer details of said lease. Well, they certainly got humbled and learned their lesson in the end. Check out some more juicy housing drama with this landlord who encouraged their tenant to research their rights, and ended up losing the battle as a result.
For all the benefits life on a boat can afford (horrible schedules, really hard work, fear of drowning, seasickness), it turns out there are also some downsides. And upsides. Then back downsides. It's not the most stable lifestyle, let's put it that way. Here are some fun and freaky moments of seemingly impossible physics thanks to that good ol' fixed camera.
There is actually a legitimate medical reason for giving the vulture its pants, but that is buried under the undeniable spectacle of a bird wearing pants. The concept was all-consuming enough for Chappell Ellison to demand artists renderings of the panted vulture, and what came of it was, well, more vultures in pants. Nice. It's reminiscent of the time people were asked to share their art and draw a duck.
The internet is home to some of the most cursed and weird images around, and it's becoming home to more and more every day. Save for the rare blursed image, you can expect to be weirded out with an unbreaking flow of unsettling strangeness whenever you want. That's a good thing, right?
Some mistakes can end up living longer than others. Or just being buried away, only to come back to haunt people when we've already been long gone from this crazy planet. In this case, it's quite the hilarious cooking fail. To make matters that much better, it doesn't sound like this is the first time that someone's just tried to bury their fail away. We doubt it'll be the last time. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr thread where sea urchins rock a bunch of mini hats. It's everything.
Man oh man, proceed with caution, because this little AITA thread has an innate ability to stir up some fiery emotions. It sounds like it was a rather inconsiderate, senseless day at the workplace for the folks involved in this story. Hopefully everyone learned their lesson, and that restaurant cleans up its act ASAP.
Sometimes, it's fun to revisit the past and appreciate just how strange some of the things were throughout the journey that was muddling through the education system as a young one. This Twitter thread from @melmadara will likely resonate with many folks out there. It might even make you feel far older than you did before. If you want to keep the nostalgia going after this thread, check out some nostalgic snacks from the 90s and 00s.
Parking lots can effortlessly bring out the very worst in people. Everyone can get so caught up in what's going on in their day, perhaps in a big old rush, that they end up momentarily sacrificing common social ettiquette. Maybe you've already experienced an unfortunate parking lot drama or two in your time. Kudos goes to this person for the way that they ended up handling their own parking lot fiasco.
It sounds like this dude is far out there when it comes to the regimen he's adopted to be successful. Like, my dude, you probably don't need to get up at 3AM to seize the day. But if you insist on doing something like that, you should probably plan for your partner who you share a room with to be a little bit perturbed. It seems like these two need to have a clarifying conversation where they're able to work out some way to meet in the middle.
We're no bone-ologists, but we fully admit that skeletons can be misleading. Maybe its that seeing only the pointy bits of an animal seriously drops its capacity for cuddlyness. If anything, these exercises in guessing are a stark reminder that every few years we get told a new way we've been wrong about dinosaurs, and it hurts every time. For a completely empirical discussion of the sciences, here's Tumblr's list of sciences judged on lickability.
The hilarious and totally random errant thoughts of like-minded strangers find themselves taking refuge in the halls of Tumblr. In a way, it's like Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, except with people who have extremely strong opinions about Avatar: The Last Airbender. So post up in this pile of tumblr gems, dig in deep, and hear their stupid, stupid tales of cryptid encounters and unsatisfactory burritos.
Kids can be very mean. So, it's understandable that this dude went into survival mode and faked an accent just to try to steer clear of being bullied. With that being said, it's especially hilarious that he had to maintain the fake British accent for so dang long. I say, just keep it going, man. Really double down on refining that accent so that it's completely unrecognizable from the real thing.
This isn't the first time that we've encountered a glorious tale about a character using a mailbox to enact a truly brutal revenge on someone else, and we highly doubt it'll be the last time. In this case, it sounds like dad hit his breaking point when it came to his mailbox being abused by an inconsiderate road grader. For some more mailbox drama check out this story about a scoundrel who ran down a family's mailbox, and then how the family created an invincible mailbox in response.
Dating can be a risky business. Especially in this day and age. You might end up sitting across the table from someone who in no way shape or form lines up with the persona they meticulously created for their online dating profile. Seriously, these datings apps nowadays end up instigating all kinds of chaos. And of course, can't forget about the cheesy pickup lines. Oh boy, those are just running amok in the land of Tinder. Anyways, this fun thread has men describing their absolute weirdest dates. Hopefully, their stories make you feel a bit better about your own cringe-packed dates.
Nothing gets us going like some good old fashioned dad jokes. It's like, on the one hand, you absolutely don't want to laugh at them. But, on the other hand, you can't help but appreciate the shamelessly cheesy levels of humor.
From the idiotically expensive to the low budget car mods and fixes, there's a lot of room on the road for absurdity. That's not to say it takes technical expertise to make your car look like a bigass shark, it's just that it says more about you as a person than the car itself. Either way, as long as it's not going on our cars, may the dubious car mods flow freely.
This world's clearly never going to run out of entitled people and their endless series of wildly irrational demands. In this case, we have a terribly entitled mother stage a temper tantrum after being rightfully rejected a doll that she wanted for her daughter. The thing about the doll is that it never would've been appropriate to have given away. Clearly though, the mom just wasn't able to peer through the thick veil of her own ignorance.
