Man's Stoked Levels Soar Through The Roof Over Deep Stream Discovery


This guy's enthusiasm is infectious. He's all passion, baby. That deep stream must've been brimming with gratitude over all the love that it was given. 

Giant Elephant Seals Engage In Passionate Duel


These elephants seals weren't playing around when it came to going to war over another seal that'd caught both their fancy. The sounds that they're making pretty much stop you in your tracks. The earth must've been rumbling and grumbling underneath all of that gargantuan movement. 

Liquid Nitrogen in A Dirty Container Has Strong Alien Symbiote Vibes


We thought our interest in liquid nitrogen would end in high school, but clearly it hasn't, because we're watching grime boil at room temperature while hooting like morons. Will we compare every sentient-looking mass to Venom forever? Yes. Does that make us look like uncultured cretins? You bet your doodle. Does this look wacky nonetheless? Yes also.

Customer Doesn't Leave Tip, TikToker Sabotages Customer's Order


Oh boy, this is just the kind of incendiary video that was guaranteed to divide the internet. Apparently there was a complete lack of a tip being left by the customer in this situation. So, the TikToker decided to heat up the customer's coffee order. Pretty ruthless move there.

Boss Insists Spellcheck Is Broken, Has It "Fixed," Makes Gibberish Until Fired


If spellcheck is making it impossible for you to make a sentence, there's a decent chance it's not spellcheck's fault. It's like this employee who insisted on their spelling of "Hampster." This exact issue is what births many dumb and creative spelling fails, but we're not here to tell people how to spell correctly. We're here to laugh at them. It's hard to tell a higher-level employee when they're wrong, but if they insist on being wrong, go ahead and let them. For another technical solution to a frustrating boss, here's an employee who wrote some code to comply with their boss who said employees can't idle.

Wholesome Moments That Prove People Are Pretty Alright


It's extremely easy to get caught up in the grind of daily life and assume the worst in people. Sure, bad things happen, but it's important to remember that people still do wholesome things for the love of the game. There are still girls setting up dirt restaurants and janitors getting well-deserved jobs. There are still blessed images and stories people tell each other about wholesome grandmas summoning demons. As much as it seems like the grind never stops, people don't stop trying to be nice, either.

Guy Goes For Morning McDonald's Trip, Laughs At Road Rager, Almost Perishes


Those road ragers can't be taken lightly, man. You're dealing with someone who has completely given themselves over to a blind rage, and is in a terribly reactive state where they're bound to try just about anything. In this case, it sounds like this guy's Spidey Sense was out of commission. If I were him, I'd have done some emotional eating after that encounter. And make that coffee a quad. The whole experience reads like a fever dream. But hey, sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. For another strange tale from the realm of the glowing golden arches, check out this twitter thread about a guy's trip to McDonald's that also reads like a fever dream. 

Activities That Look Fun In Movies But Are Actually Terrible


Movies have a way of making being a struggling business owner seem folksy when in reality it's a whole lot of paperwork and barely paid bills. Movies make fights look like great stands for justice when most often they're a great opportunity to break your hands, even if you win. Movie logic is unrealistic. Maybe that's why we like them. But that said, there are still things movies do that people hate.

Pettiest Reasons Lawyers Witnessed Divorces


Love is a dangerous chemical. It drives people to absolute insanity. Rationality has a tendency to be tossed right out the window when you find yourself blinded by those fiercely euphoric rose-colored glasses, and willing to do pretty much everything to keep the love alive. And then oh boy, when that very love runs its natural course, things flicker out, and then the other feelings start to bubble to the surface. That's when the pettiness can really come out to play. So, it's no wonder that lawyers end up encountering some wildly petty scenarios between ex lovers that decided to call it quits. 

Cashier Tries To Help Impatient Customer, Impatient Customer Gets In His Own Way


Impatient people can really be a handful when it comes to trying to work a customer service gig without hating every little bit about the experience. The stage that was set for the unfolding of this rather nasty play sounds like it was absolutely miserable. Honestly, good on the cashier for just sinking into the experience and making the most out of it by carrying out some sweet malicious compliance. For some more glorious malicious compliance check out this grandpa's mailbox loophole that took mail right into the third dimension.

Design Fails That Gave Zero Hecks About Doing Things Right


Design fails lurk around pretty much every corner. You could be out walking around, enjoying a sunlit stroll, relaxed shoulders, the vague tracings of a smile on your face, and then boom, you see something so terribly misaligned that your whole day turns upside down for the worst. These design fails certainly outdid themselves. If this list left you grinding your teeth, try a tonic with this quick list of satisfying moments of alignment.

Barista Gets Revenge With 10 Syrup Pumps, Customer Loves It


Everyone's morning "coffee" ritual is a little different, and for some that means an ungodly amount of syrup slammed into their veins like it was being pushed in by a train. This barista thought they were getting revenge on a bad customer by seriously overdoing things, but as it turns out, that customer could look the grim reaper in the eye voids and say "the sweet embrace of death isn't saccharine enough for my tastes, Mister Jingly Bone Man." For another tale from the café, here's a customer who demanded hotter coffee so the manager went full throttle.

25 Old People On Social Media Who Tried Their Best


Social media has a steep learning curve for the old. It's a lot of folks using the laughing emoji when sharing sad news, accidentally posting their sordid google searches as their statuses, printing out memes, believing even the most absurd satirical new articles, and speaking in all caps. But we gotta cut them some slack, cause these old people are trying their best on social media.

TV Host Mistakes Moth For A Horse


It almost feels like this could be some kind of dub-over situation, or tricky editing, until you hear the dude at the end clarify that he was in fact hilariously off the mark with his assumption that the creature on the screen was a moth and not a horse. 

Red Truck Temper Tantrums At McDonald's Drive-Thru, Revenge Ensues


Some people have an uncanny knack for getting wildly impatient and plain old belligerent in the drive-thru. It's as if they get caught up in the blinding desire of needing to be an impossible million places at once, and this gives way to nasty behavior. Well, one of the drivers caught up in this rude drive-thru debacle decided to play a song to show how they felt about all the rudeness. I just hope the dude in the red truck was able to hear their special song. Shoutout to @chasityrodriguez93 for the comedy gold.

Nataliia Zharkova Completes Absolutely Bonkers Free Dive


You've got to appreciate how they made sure to give her some time to collect her breath after completing the free dive, and before celebrating. Just consider how many breaths you might've clocked while she was doing her whole dive sequence. 

Seagull Gives Girl On Sling Shot Ride A Face High Five


The sling shot ride itself already looks thrilling enough as it is without a seagull dropping in to say what's up to your face. Clearly, this poor girl was rattled to her core. We're just glad that everyone appears to have exited the chaotic collision of forces without being injured. 

Professions Where Overhearing "Oops" Is A Worst-Case Scenario


There are certain jobs in this world where the room for inevitable failure is far more forgiving than others. If anything, it's an AskReddit thread like the one we have here that could deepen your appreciation for the trivial moments of error that you've encountered throughout your gig that seemed so important at the time. The reality is that things can pretty much always be worse. 

Aunt Dismisses Jellyfish Museum's Warnings, Gets Stung, Wants To Sue, Gets Called Karen


It really sounds like the jellyfish museum was trying to help this woman out, but for whatever reason she decided to adopt quite the stubborn rule-breaking attitude. Naturally, this attitude results in her acquiring the very painful jellyfish sting that she was warned about. And then she proceeds to want to sue the museum. This call for a suing gave way to her being labelled a Karen. So, the question here is whether or not the person who called the Aunt a "Karen" was in the wrong. Folks in the comments section seem to be in agreement that this wasn't so out of line. Of course, nobody likes being labelled a Karen. The thing about it is, when you live down to the stereotype, being labelled a Karen shouldn't be such a wildly unexpected turn of events.

For some more Karen drama check out the time that a bro customer covered an employee from a monster Karen. 

Inventions That Are Hardly Ever Used For Their Intended Purpose


One of the things that makes human beings unique is our ingenuity. For example, the famous cookie tin/sewing kit. A variety of medications, toys and uh, personal products are inventions that are now used for something other than their intended purpose. That doesn't make them any less useful. It means people are good at adapting. People are also pretty dumb, which is why we have so many brilliant ideas that were stupid upon review.

Citizens Of The World Bond Over Their Potholes On Twitter


As citizens of the world, we may not all speak the same language or have exactly the same values. But one thing we can all agree on is that we all resent the state of our infrastructure. After NoContextBrits insinuated that they had singularly bad roads, everyone chimed in in a display of funny yet extremely damning examples of the world's collective road quality. Potholes, sinkholes, and tomato-infested roads abound. For some driving themed insanity, here are some incompetent drivers who should be banned from the road.

Man Assumes Literal Fire Is A Feature Of His Computer, IT Intervenes


What in the world would people do without IT? Seriously. Just take the guy that we have in this humorous tech support tale. For whatever reason he was leading a life where he assumed that flames erupting from his computer were a totally normal and acceptable function of the device. Well, it sounds like even after the IT dude showed up to smooth over the issue, the guy still left the interaction puzzled by why there wasn't a "stop the smoke" button. For another tech support tale check out the time that a man assumed his computer would work during a power outage.

Entitled People With Their Bold Behavior and Audacious Demands


What would life be without a neighbor threatening to trap your cat because it sits on her car at night? Why should we all be free to go about our days without hearing from the entitled people and total Karens who are ready to call the cops because they didn't get a free cookie with their purchase? Variety is the spice of life, but entitled people are the metal shavings one finds in their BLT.

Tenant Gets Property Owner's Car Towed, Property Owner Hatches Pro Revenge


This isn't the first time that we've seen people turn into complete animals over a parking space squabble. In this case though, the villain of the pro revenge story vastly underestimated who she was playing games with. Basically, when she decided to go ahead and have the property owner's car towed she set in motion a pro revenge plan that'd result in her ultimate demise. For some more parking lot drama check out the time that Karen took her sweet time in a handicapped parking space, and then proceeded to get blocked in. 

Ex Boyfriend Won't Return Woman's Stuff, Woman Wants To Sell His Stuff


Controlling behavior is gross. Everyone's just out there trying to lead their lives without having to deal with the terrible manipulative tactics that some of the world's more toxic individuals insist on carrying out. It sounds like this guy chose to go down the post-breakup route where he was trying to keep the flames of a relationship that had flickered out alive, by keeping the phone line open for nasty arguments. Yikes, man. With all of that context being covered, it's no big surprise that this woman and her friends found themselves thinking that selling the guy's stuff was the move after the way he chose to handle things. Especially because he got rid of her stuff. If anything, seems like she dodged a real bullet. 

Tantalizing Tumblr Nuggets That Are Deep Fried In Humor


The wonderful and wandering minds of Tumblr provide a ceaseless stream of funny and outright bizarre observations about all corners of life.

Anyways, enjoy these Tumblr gems and keep on Tumblin. 

Chef Modifies Dish To Account For Food Allergy, Customer Gets Mad Over Confusion


Those brunch and lunch and dinner rushes can get extremely busy out of nowhere. As a server, one moment you might find yourself trying to waste away the time left on your shift by folding a mountain of forks, spoons, and knives into beds of napkins, and the next moment you might find a literal tidal wave of hungry and impatient customers stampeding through the restaurant's door. It can pay off if you're already naturally inclined to keep cool under pressure, because it's only a matter of time before someone stages a full on temper tantrum in a restaurant. In this case though, it sounds like the chef was really just trying to make the correct moves based off the information they had. The ball kind of falls back in the server's court for failing to tell the chef exactly who needed the modified dish. 

IT Guy Travels From US To London To Install Toner Cartridge


Get enough technology-phobic people involved in a profitable industry, and boy you've got yourself a recipe for wasteful shenanigans like this tale of an employee who traveled thousands of miles to fix a printer on Christmas. As long as someone else's incompetence and wastefulness ends in your own impromptu vacation, things aren't too bad. For some more rare pleasantness from the world of IT, here's a wholesome IT bro who fixed a guy's destroyed laptop.

Dude Makes Chill Seal Friend


They say not to approach seals at the beach, but when one comes up and wants to hang out, there's not a lot you can do to keep it away. This guy has somehow acquired the mystical animal magnetism of a Disney Princess, and we're jealous. That or he smells like food.

Dude Mistakenly Asks Richard Feynman Why Magnets Are Attracted To Each Other


Richard Feynman is clearly not the guy to ask about why magnets are attracted to one another. That is, unless you want to sit back and watch him serve up a seven-course feast of undercooked word bits about everything except for why magnets are attracted to each other/repel.
