Death

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.

We don't usually expect to get all teary-eyed from a Tumblr writing prompt, but we definitely appreciate surprises. This particular prompt imagines a situation in which Death decides to offer a game in exchange for our protagonist's life. Dungeons and Dragons, a game that can be endless, is quickly chosen. We follow their years-long journey and by the end the sappiness is supreme. 

Warning: Do not proceed to these excruciatingly sad and sappy posts if struggling with the effects of PMS. Most of these tearjerker images are comics about losing someone special, usually a dog. For some reason the concept of losing an animal is really all it takes to bring on our high-pressure waterworks. So make sure you're sitting down and somewhere safe when you scroll through these bittersweet and depressing memes.

The process of scattering a loved ones ashes is generally pretty sacred and emotional. Today, we've learned that's not always the case. A desperate (and desperately amused) individual took to Facebook to beg for advice on how to dispose of her father's ashes after her mother informed her that his remains had completely solidified into a brick of human ash. After OP's mother had to take a CHISEL to said brick, they decided to avoid their unusual plight by asking the internet for advice. The commenters delivered something, but a whole lot more comedy than wisdom. And we're honestly more than okay with that.

As much as we may want to live forever, the reality of the matter is that we're all going to die at some point. These witty people decided to go out with a sense of humor. Respect.

We're still absolutely shook over the events of Game of Thrones season 8 episode 5 - as we recounted in our reactions post. Now that we've accepted that our favorite characters are either dead or dead to us, all we have left are memes. And these memes really do sum up our feelings about this fiery garbage can of an episode. 

The life-saving possibilities of modern medicine are incredible to be sure - and so are the emotions that come with the miracles. These tweets detailing medical sagas are sad, happy, and sappy, all rolled into one.

It's Monday, so most of us are probably feeling some kind of malaise or dissatisfaction. These pics and memes have been carefully curated to make you feel like someone's been cutting onions - and to remind you that life ain't always a huge bummer. 

Luke Perry, who most famously brought a brooding sense of hunkiness to the role of Dylan McKay on 90210has passed away at the age of 52. Perry had been hospitalized after suffering a stroke last Wednesday.  He never recovered. The sudden death has been an immense shock to Hollywood and fans alike, many people pouring their grief and disbelief into touching Twitter tributes.

Comic artist Seebangnow drew up this wholesome tear-jerking meme about a little dog being admitted to heaven. However, with the internet being the internet, the heartwarming meme quickly turned into a snide exploitable review of both hated and beloved moments in pop culture. Not gonna lie, some of these might be a little triggering to ya.
