There's nothing quite like seeing someone completely lose themselves in their love for a sport. Especially when it's done so in a functional and supportive way just like the Aussie coach named Ariarne Titmus did when his swimmer ended up taking home the gold medal for the 400-meter swimming race.
A few years back at Parookaville, an EDM festival in Germany, people got to see the more dramatic implications of not staking their tent to the ground during some surprise inclement weather. It would be almost pretty to watch, if it wasn't such a majestic way of losing all your crap at a music festival.
The internet has far too many lies to go around. Unfortunately, so many of our social media feeds can be clogged up with people trying to fuel their needy egos with stiff shots of dopamine that rides on the coattails of complete, dishonest nonsense. In this case, we have a nice real life example of a guy trying to pawn off a lie about owning a Lamborghini. Let's just say that he doesn't get very far with his master plan before the truth is revealed. I can't imagine how much cringe flooded his nervous system after he was outed.
As far as reasonable requests go, this woman's request for her husband to leave a lasagna alone that was specially prepared for a birthday seems completely reasonable. However, it sounds like her husband couldn't be bothered to take her request seriously. So, a pretty expectable drama ensues. I mean, what did he think was going to happen? And then he goes ahead with the cold shoulder in response to her reaction? Yikes.
If anyone needed some tips on becoming wealthier, healthier and happier, then here are some ideas. They're not good ideas, but they are definitely a type of ideas. Sure, these bad life pro tips might jack up your game instead of doing any benefit for anyone involved, but at least you can say you "tried." Here are moredumb and bad life pro tips to not do.
It is definitely an interesting reversal for a angry parent to demand that their kid be allowed to hold a gun without their permission. But hey, the inner workings of entitled people are a beautiful, horrible mystery. The thing is he was gonna let him hold the thing anyway. The dad just made things...tense. For another tale of wild parental entitlement, here are some entitled parents who lost it over a parking spot and got towed.
It's this kind of AskReddit thread that can ultimately be incredibly helpful for anyone out there who is on the path of self-improvement. Unfortunately, far too many of us can end up unknowingly putting out all kinds of terribly toxic behavior that's extra unbecoming just because the behavior is carried out from a place of ignorance, and even being conditioned by an environment that created the feeling that legitimately messed up behavior isn't completely messed up. Hopefully none of these ring a bell, but hey, it's never too late to make a change.
It's okay to completely lack a sense of humor as long as you don't suck up the fun for anyone else. These clueless people who missed the joke by miles have a way of making these jokes as funny as the three stooges rotting away in an old folks home, every day forgetting bigger pieces of who they are. So thanks guys. Thanks for taking everything completely literally, youfun-stealing dullards who didn't get the joke.
We shouldn't stress ourselves out by trying to sound brilliant all the time, but we also need to understand the dangers of not thinking about anything we say. Because people say some really dumb things. Every day, we reveal our mind-blowing ignorance by asking if cows lay eggs and expressing genuine concern that the island of Alaska will tip over. So be smart about it or else you too will join the ranks of the dumbest things people have ever heard. Don't become the source of someone else's facepalm moments.
The reality is that there are plenty of people in this world that unfortunately have to deal with very intense, potentially life-threatening food allergies. It ultimately falls on the restaurant to take those food allergies seriously, and at least try to cater to the information that they're provided in a timely manner. It sounds like this restaurant definitely failed to do so. Or, at the very least they could've thrown that order back out on the fly, and not had them wait all that extra time over some tomatoes. So, a 1-star review from the customer seems like a pretty reasonable development. Naturally, folks in the comments section were in agreement that the customer wasn't necessarily in the wrong for their decision to leave a scathing review.
You probably wouldn't go ahead and draw the assumption that the yarn community is filled to the brim with fascinating controversies. For instance, the whole faking deaths theme runs prominent within the community. On top of that, there's even a bit about setting babies on fire. Um, like what? Hold up. For some more gold from the ever interesting world of Tumblr check out this Tumblr thread about a contortionist who went for a burrito mission to 7-Eleven and ended up traumatizing a cashier.
The world seems like it's never going to run out of choosing beggars and their wild, completely delusional levels of entitlement. Seriously, it seems like every other online negotiation between a seller and a potential buyer ends up being bogged down by a choosy beggar that can't be reasoned with. In this case, there's not even a sale going down. It's literally people being nice enough to lend out their very nice cars, and then being rudely rejected by someone who clearly has a strange (backwards) perception of what constitutes decent social etiquette.
There's nothing like throwing on a great movie and just stepping outside the otherwise constant stream of thoughts that occupy your daily existence. Instead, you can check out for awhile and get lost in the lives of the characters onscreen. Sometimes though, it can be tough to follow what's going on if you literally can't make out what's taking place on the screen. This quick Tumblr post does an effective job at pointing that out with Game of Thrones as an example. If you're looking for some more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr thread about an Ultima Online player that unleashed a nuclear revenge as a tavern owner.
The world's brimming with unexplainable horrors. Fortunately, we're able to live a whole lot of life that isn't bombarded by unexplainable moments that can instantaneously turn the world as we know it upside down. With that being said, maybe these people's stories of their own terribly creepy experiences will make you feel better about any moments that left you with a sick feeling in your gut.
There's nothing like happening upon a helpful loophole that just manages to make your life a bit easier. Some loopholes also hit different than others. If you're able to put any of these into practice as you go about your daily life, good on you. Check out some more pro tips that can give you an edge at life over here.
This guy's level of commitment to his performance of the iconic Pokémon theme song is nothing less than heroic. He really goes all the way with it. By the end of the song he's pretty much transformed into Jack Black himself.
Sometimes technology seems to go too far. This humanoid robot thing is just a little bit unsettling. Someone get this dude a contract already.
Mr. Rogers was hosting a discussion on parenting when one mother expressed her frustration over her daughter cutting her own hair. In classic Mr. Rogers fashion, he comes back with a simple observation that makes this mom rethink months of feelings in a fraction of a second. If this other guy hadn't interrupted, we'd probably have the only ever recorded instance of someone saying the words "holy sh*t" in front of Mr. Rogers.
The rigidness of life's rules can make things harder than they have to be. And sometimes when life forces our hand, we must make stupid loopholes. It happens all the time, like this dad's basketball loophole or this grandpa's three dimensional mailbox loophole or this kid who made a mockery of a robotics competition with his dry ice loophole. We must pat ourselves on the back for every dumb loophole we employ, because man, stupid loopholes make us feel smart.
When the average person sees an exquisitely painted image of Red Skelton being accepted into clown heaven, the first thoughts one might have will likely be something along the lines of "Huh, I didn't know clowns had souls" or "why does that one bear such a striking resemblance to John Wayne Gacy?" But some of us, a very select few, might think "finally I have something to replace the cross above my bed." Hey man, everyone has their thing, and that's where we get skillful creations of absurd taste.
Oh man, wedding season really brings the lunatics right on out of the woodwork. People are dangerously vulnerable toward getting caught up in the emotionally heightened antics that go into a wedding. All of the meticulous preparation and just trying to have the perfect day can give way to an aggressive state of perfectionism. In this case, it sounds like the woman who didn't want to attend an obvious bridezilla's wedding was very much so in the right place. For some more wedding drama check out this post about wedding moments that told guests that the marriages weren't built to last.
Bukowski is one of those authors who's really appealing to college freshman who are hellbent on being miserable. He's got that Holden Caulfield streak, where if you're not in the right mood for the kind of stuff he's slinging you can't help but go "okay man, we get it, holy crap." Even a fan of Bukowski would admit that his view of relationships wasn't exactly what one would call "healthy." Granted the guy who wrote a book called "Notes of A Dirty Old Man" probably isn't out to appeal to young female readers anyway, it's always funny to see his writing reflected on by someone who has enough sense to try not being sad. Melissa Turkington quickly found out that she bought a used Bukowski book with just a hint of added flavor.
There are a few reasons students become legendary. Sometimes it was a prank or wild thing that that student did and got away with. Sometimes it was a moment of defiance against some stupid school rule. Some of these are memorable because they're straight up dumb, but you be the judge. No one heard from us that it's a good idea to hide 30 open jars of mayo in the vents before leaving for summer. For some extra shenanigans, here are some mad lads who made the world their big briny oyster.
Mary Robinette Kowal gets into the nitty gritty of space defecation and how "there's no good way for women to pee in space" was never a completely satisfactory answer for a lack of women in space, at least from the engineering side of things. Turns out, the ideas we had for going to the bathroom in space in general were... lackluster. To rely on the old saying, why is it we could put a man on the moon but we couldn't come up with a half decent way to get people a bathroom in space without having to sit in it?
Honestly, these students got off lightly. Things could've ended up much, much worse than they did for them. This definitely isn't the first time that we've come across a revenge that took place within the realm of education. There's just something about people not wanting to do their tests/essays/etc that results in acts of truly glorious revenge.
The thing about calling out the people in this world that have gotten lost in the thick haze of their own blinding entitlement is that they can get very defensive when their antics are called out. It sounds like this bride's friend did anything but take kindly to being called out. She actually had the audacity to call the lovely bride a bridezilla. Totally uncalled for. Absolutely not accurate. It's definitely more of a friendzilla situation on our hands here.
We are people with problems. And problems require solutions. But we don't always have a lot of money, so those problems require us to devise intriguing and sometimes inadvisable DIY solutions. Sometimes we try to solve problems that aren't really even problems, or we try to exercise our creative juices with weird and intriguing DIY projects. For more inspiration, here are some low budget car mods and questionable fixes. And for the mechanically inclined who just want to see something cool, here's people making a steel sphere with an explosion.
With the power to post weird things for sale online comes absolutely zero responsibility for the quality of that garbage people try to sell online. Whether it's someone trying to make a quick buck on a unique Dorito or someone else trying to get rid of an absolutely terrifying amount of baby teeth, it's the wild west out there. You hope they're all jokes, but some definitely have too much going on not to be legit.
Oh boy, just when we thought we might've encountered the very worst (or best) of the world's tech support horror stories, this bad boy comes along. As it turns out, some people are wandering aimlessly through the world without the necessary knowledge that you pretty much always have to double click on files to open them. It's no wonder that this tech support employee's jaw hit the floor. For another recent tech support horror story, check out the time that a man assumed a literal fire coming from his computer was a feature of his computer. Yeah, no.
This guy has a lead pipe for a spine. He can't slip any discs cause they're already lubricated with WD-40. You might be asking yourself: is that fridge empty? Yeah, it probably is, he probably already ate all the metal inside of it. Then he huffed all the Freon before breathing it out as pure wood smoke.
