They do stuff until people tell them not to, and even then only some of them end up become functioning adults. Here are some more signs that kids are weird and stupid.
The year is 2007. Former Olympian skier Yannick Bertrand is competing in the super giant slalom when a post smacks him directly in the wang doodler, prematurely ending his run and also possibly his bloodline. How he remains standing is nothing short of a miracle. It also has commentary!
Who are we to draw assumptions about whether or not walruses thoroughly enjoy music or not? Because clearly, by the looks of this video, walruses absolutely love their tunes.
Hazards abound, and with them creepy signs that make their message clear. Sure it might seem gauche for a sign to literally tell you "lions eat people and you are people" but the real issue is why that sign needs to be there in the first place. Someone was probably being people way too close to the lions. The abundant threats of the world make it necessary to have spooky signs that are too dang scary.
Perspective can change when you realize you've been taking something for granted. In this case it's interesting to think about how there are so many seemingly inconsequential things that color is used to indicate, like locked doors or plant health.

Most of us pride ourselves on being at least halfway decent at our jobs. Sometimes things get forgotten, done too quickly, or done by exactly the wrong person. What we get are "not my job" moments of quality unprofessionalism. The world is populated with crap infrastructure, stupid signs, and painted over spiders because somewhere along the line someone said, "eh, not my job."
Times change, but some houses don't really. It's unclear who would want to live in this excessively carpeted homage to non-90 degree angles, but it has its own kind of charm.

On one hand, it's baffling that some really dumb medical patients refuse to pay close enough attention to understand how their own body works, especially in a life-threatening situation. On the other hand, since doctors exist, it makes some sense that regular people shouldn't be expected to automatically know everything about medicine. On the third hand, the reality that a grown adult might think their lost arm will grow back is as startling as it is disappointing. Wait, that's three hands. Well, case in point.
Sometimes our brains short circuit when they're caught up in the middle of painstaking, stress-inducing conflicts. It could be the manifestation of some kind of fight-or-flight response. Who really knows? These people's recaps of their dumbest ideas during the middle of a crisis situation are certainly entertaining.
Relationships take work, but it's nearly impossible to stamp out every bad habit someone has. Living with someone who leaves lights on, never replaces toilet paper and opens a new bag of cereal even though there's already one open can seriously weigh on the psyche. For some spousal drama, here's a picky eater husband who demanded fancier meals and a constantly late wife who's only on time when lied to.
Being publicly embarrassed is almost an out-of-body experience. Failing to deliver a speech, overly delivering a fart, or just falling flat on your face in front of even one stranger can ruin a whole day. But when it happens in front of a thousand?

Check out some more gold from Tumblr with these funny Tumblr gems unleashed from the depths.
However decent people are most of the time, we still live in a world where someone will try to charge 2 grand for the privilege of getting to tear down their bathroom and get rid of their tiles.

If this guy hadn't tried to soft-rob his ex, he might just have some dish soap left, but nah, he got big about it and ended up with a totally empty apartment. It's gotta feel good to take literally everything that belongs to you, kind of like a Pharaoh. For some lighter relationship struggles, here are the many frustrating habits of people's spouses.

For another one, here's a micromanager who demanded too many updates, so an employee fought back with even more updates.
As people who have to pay rent and feed ourselves, our tolerance for meaningless work BS is directly related to how effectively that BS helps us not starve. Work is weird and stupid, but highly necessary, so it helps to have some work memes for the hustle as well as the bustle.

It only makes sense that such a disorganized employer would try to pull some absurd BS to fire someone, then get nailed by their own disorganization. Citing the very same NDA they signed with that former employer, This person somehow managed to make things hard for them in the loopholiest way possible. Speaking of NDAs, here are people with expired non-disclosure agreements explaining what they had to keep quiet.
Putting together buildings isn't as easy as it might seem. There are pipes running every which way, irregular sized doors, and real sketchy electrical situations. Most of us want to go home early anyway. That attitude results in some pretty wild "not my job" moments of incompetent construction.
Times can get weird, hard, and disappointing. Everyone is very well aware of that. That's why it's okay to have a reminder that people aren't terrible everywhere. Almost everyone has the common goals of being happy and building connections. Wholesome memes can provide a boost in what can seem like an otherwise unforgiving world.
If something wrong gets said enough, it sort of develops its own gravity. And that pull towards wrong and dumb thinking is strong.

And also, if someone tells you that they're allergic to MSG, ask them if they eat Doritos. To fill your head with better junk, here are some strange scientific facts to ponder.
There are some times when the bullet sorta dodges itself. Most people would agree that accepting a drink from a stranger while you're on a date with someone else is a bit of an indicator that you don't have the same priorities at heart. Good on this dude for seeing the signs and straight up leaving when it was obvious it wasn't worth the time. Here are some of people's worst first date stories.
Every now and again the wonderful wandering minds of the Tumblr world band together to take us down wild rabbit holes we never saw coming.

Tolkien honestly seems like he might've been all about researching ridiculous internet vernacular. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this epic saga about "goat guy."
It looks like Lori from Florida either had a lot of time on her hands or she's just that passionate about dresser reviews. Her vivid, ultra-specific imagery comparing a dresser experience to having a mouth full of old man's back sweat makes us think that she really, truly hated this piece of furniture. For some true review justice, here's the guy who left a lying review and got banned when the owner stood up for staff.

Dad jokes have a tendency to go full dad joke.
Having 5 kids in the year 2021 with a wife who also has a full-time job means that you're probably going to have to do some laundry.
