It's a pretty well-known fact that ignorance is bliss. These tidbits from an especially uncomfortable AskReddit thread are definitely proof of this theory. One masochistic user asked the community to share all the glorious factoids they wish they hadn't learned, and honestly - we feel the same way. Sometimes you really don't want to learn something every day.

The North remembers what happened at the red wedding, and Game of Thrones fans remember what happened in Season 8. It's been a decade since the HBO series first hooked millions of viewers, edging devoted fans with season after season of multi-layered storylines and cliff-hangers, all culminating in an underwhelming final season that felt like someone hastily sweeping dust under a rug. It's no surprise that GoT fans felt personally insulted after @GameOfThrones tweeted 'Winter is coming,' a famous line that was once heavy with the promise of an epic conclusion to the dramatic fantasy series. Game of Thrones faded out of the zeitgeist pretty quickly after that final episode, and yet even two years later, the fans are still bitter. Keep scrolling for a handful of the most amusing spicy responses to @GameOfThrones's triggering tweet. 

Well, we've got a new candidate for Time's person of the year. Or at least the badassof the year. We just don't know their identity. 

In a move that can be described as "sick," "dope," and "really f*cking cool," an impatient driver in Daytona Beach, Florida, decided to take a risk and drive over a rising drawbridge instead of waiting with all the sheep who would prefer to abide by the law. The spectacle was caught on camera, and seriously looks like something out of an action movie.

While we were hoping this daredevil would come out of this scot-free, the stunt was not well-received by police, who believe they've identified our new hero. Though this may be the most talked about instance of Evel Knievel-ry, it seems like jumping over drawbridges is a "Florida Man" trait. A motorcyclist made the dramatic leap last month, and we've even seen footage of a dude running over a bridge with JUST HIS FEET. It's true that these shows of cojones are dangerous and sometimes deadly, so while we're celebrating this instance of success, we must urge you not to try this yourself. Thanks to the videos below, you can enjoy the thrill (and some entertaining reactions) from home. 

Sometimes you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed and everything is just downhill from there. You oversleep, your boss yells at you, you stub your toe and then to round it all off your grandma died. If you want to feel the slightest bit better about yourself, just take a gander at these people, who may or may not be having a worse day than you.

Ever just see something on the internet and recoil in revulsion? Welcome to almost every damn day of our lives. Between cringey social media posts, cursed images, and gross imagery, there's plenty of content blowing around to leave you feeling uncomfortable. While some people will undoubtedly say "Thanks, no thanks" to this gallery of scrollable pain, other people - probably those of you who are as numb as us - will probably eat up the opportunity to feel anything. Even disgust. Apologies in advance.

Humans love to throw around generalizations about the unspoken rules of dating etiquette, but when it really comes down to it, each and every relationship comes with its own little nuances and boundaries. I'm sure you've heard it a million times, so forgive the platitude, but communication really is key. Texting etiquette can be a tricky one, because unlike having a conversation in person, texting makes it possible to communicate something anytime, anywhere, to anyone who may or may not be able to receive the message at the time. This can quickly become a problem of (literal) miscommunication if the texter is putting themselves out there in a moment of peak vulnerability. The silence becomes loaded with uncertainty and maddening possibilities. For some, this can be too much to bear—I wonder what they're doing? Are they ignoring me on purpose? Surely they'd text back right away if they were actually interested. I guess they're not interested. Maybe I'll ignore them and see how they like it. For those on the other side of this anxiety, there are a million reasons why they might not be able to text back right away, the most obvious one being that people are simply busy. If someone's a serial offender of the late text, sure, it could mean that they're inconsiderate or even disinterested, or it could mean that they suffer from ADHD, or maybe they're a luddite who hates phones. The point is, there's no blanket rule for this sort of thing, which is proven in the fact that individual opinions vastly differ on the topic. This brings us to @Arii__876, who provoked an interesting discussion on the nuances of texting after she tweeted a pretty hot take claiming that nobody forgets to text someone back if they're genuinely interested in them. We've gathered a range of responses full of amusing insight on different approaches to maintaining relationships. 

We're here to give the elderly some serious props for trying to figure out technology. But sometimes (often) they fail. And it's so, so, so, entertaining. This may sound like some light bullying, but we are coming from a place of utmost respect, a place of undying appreciation for their ability to accidentally create the kind of wholesome content that the rest of us just need.

If you're looking for a reminder that there are a whole lot of weirdos in this world, look no further. Twitter user @NateIsBack2 has managed to round up some seriously insane stories after asking his followers to share the most awkward dates they've ever been on. While some of these recollections definitely fall into that category, other are straight up bone chilling and creepy. Especially the unexpected response from actress Patricia Arquette. On the bright side, the horror stories are a great reminder that you should really vet your date before committing to a night out or a relationship. 

Congratulations. You've made it across the treacherous and soul-sucking hump day mountain—an underrated achievement, in our opinion. It all gets easier from here. But if the promise of a relaxing weekend isn't quite enough to get you through the next couple work days, maybe these hilarious memes and tweets can curb the pain of monotony a bit. Scroll along, internet friends.

As Wednesday comes to a close, and we welcome the more optimistic half of the week, we want to provide you with ample procrastination material. For us, and maybe for you, that includes plenty of memes and tweets. While looking at funny pictures won't fast-forward time it, the activity (distraction?) probably (maybe?) has some positive effects on your brain.
