We're not about to pretend to be psychologists, but the study of the brain can be incredibly helpful in any situation that hinges on communication. Whether you're trying to get ahead at work, make a good impression, or avoid creeps, these life hacks use the science of your brain to help you do better at pretty much anything.
This "Dad and the dog" dank meme combines two of our favorite things: dads and doggos. The meme exploits the idea that dads are truly marshmallows under their tough exteriors. The first instance of the meme featured Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson with a cute dog, paired with a joke about a dad's hesitance about getting a dog, and his eventual love for the damn critter. The memes have been popping off since early this week, and it's easy to see why.
Damn, of all the things you could and should fake your own death for, LulaRoe apparel is not one of them.
If you're not familiar with the pyramid scheme that is LulaRoe, then first of all, you're a lucky bastard. But in all seriousness, we've got you covered with copious examples of total LulaRoe fails.
In this wild ride of a story, a woman named Jennifer was apparently really desperate for a free LulaRoe dress called an "Amelia." So desperate, in fact, that she felt it appropriate to fake her own death in a Facebook group and get caught up in a whole web of lies. Yeah, we're confused about it too...
We're sucker for puns, parodies and the Star Wars universe. It should be no surprise that geniuses on Tumblr have managed to pack all of the above into this genius parody of the Star Wars prequels. This one is a mashup of The Killers' classic Mr. Brightside and the cult classic (and very poorly reviewed) films. It's a wonderful witty ride, and we're upset we didn't think of it first.
While it's truly amazing that people struggling physical and mental illnesses or disabilities can receive assistance from a service animal, this thread points out just how easy it is to fake these needs to abuse the system. This can give service animals a bad reputation, complicate the lives of people who really need the animals, and could even hurt people. This Tumblr thread couldn't cover these issues more perfectly.
Kids really go back and forth between being the best and the worst. The whining, the germs, the endless and exhausting energy they seem to derive from nowhere. But every now and then they'll go and say something so smart or so funny forget about the bad stuff. It doesn't hurt when they cuddle you either. This Instagram account, Live From Snack Time, is chock full of kids quotes that will remind you why you raised these little terrors. They're pretty damn special, and a great reminder that parenting ain't so bad after all.
As much as we enjoy the thrill of receiving notifications when people get shot in our city, Citizen app will never hold a candle to the wild hilarity of Nextdoor. The neighborhood based social networking site is like if Facebook married your Aunt Bev who spies on the whole neighborhood and tells your family all of the dirt. It's pretty wild. People overshare, share too vaguely, or just share stuff that is funny as hell. There's even a Twitter account called Best of Nextdoor dedicated to the wild sh*t people scroll their way into. And here are some of our favorite examples of the wildness.
