Do you ever get hit with one of those random deep thoughts in times of rest or waiting? Ironically, it seems like the wisest and strangest ideas come when the brain idling. These are what we call 'shower thoughts,' and there's a whole subreddit dedicated to these little gems. We've collected some of our favorite recent shower thoughts that people thankfully shared on the sub for the rest of us to enjoy. 

It's hard out there for a single person in 2019. Dating apps like Tinder have supposedly made it easier to find a date, but sometimes we feel like it just complicates things. You gotta deal with ghosting, crazies, and the occasional conversation that totally flops, such as the following. But hey, at least we got quite a bit of amusement out of reading through these!

Tumblr is a special place because quite like Reddit, reactions and replies to posts are all out there in the open for anyone else on the platform to see. The comments are just as interesting as the posts they're responding to, if not more so. If you scroll around Tumblr for long enough, you're likely to find some quirky exchanges, clever observations, and random facts—which can sometimes be a bit of a problem if you don't want to find yourself in an hours-long Tumblr hole. But you don't have to worry about that now, because we've grabbed some amusing bits and pieces for all the hasty scrollers out there.  

Hold onto your butts, y'all, 'cause you're about to bear witness to some mad lads in action. Whether they're exacting petty revenge or showing serious dedication to a joke, these geniuses bring some seriously clever tomfoolery to the internet. They may not be making the world a better place, but they're definitely keeping us entertained. And isn't that the point of the internet, anyway?

Social media users who are more active on platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit might forget that Tumblr is still active and brimming with content gold. We've got a bunch of snapshots of funny exchanges and amusing observations that illustrate why Tumblr is its own special little insular world.

Sometimes when the username checks out, you have to wonder if some of these redditors chose their absurdly specific usernames dreaming that some day they'd get to drop a comment at the perfect moment. We're here for it because it's pretty entertaining to witness a bit of internet magic happen, even if it is something purely silly. If you don't feel like waiting around to witness one of these little gems in the wild, we grabbed a bunch of meta instances of usernames checking out from, you guessed it, r/UsernameChecksOut.

We love to see ordinary people exploiting glitches in the system, flawed discount deals, lazy employers, and any big institution that profits from usually doing the exploiting. When you spend most of your life rising and grinding every damn day to pay the bills, even the smallest win can feel like striking gold, like figuring out how to secure a free weekly lunch for the next couple years. 

We've got a bunch of great examples of clever people taking advantage of loopholes thanks to a hot recent thread from r/AskReddit.

Comebacks are really their own art form. It takes a lot of quick wit and creativity to think of the perfect way to roast someone, after all. So scroll down for some clever roasts and insults, and then click here for more!

You know what they say: if one relationship doesn't work out then don't fret because there's plenty of fish in the sea! Either way, dating apps are always really frustrating, but at least they can offer us some comedic relief! Check out Fail Blog and eBaum's World for more Tinder madness!

In the sea of content that is the internet, sometimes the most amusing little tidbits from insular social networks like Twitter and Tumblr get lost in the slurry. Well lucky for you, we've collected a delightful mixture of clever posts from these oversaturated corners of the web. Tweets and text posts are kind of like memes you can spend a little extra time with—perfect for people experiencing some major boredom. 

Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace are great ways to find deals or unload that crap you just don't want to be around anymore. You can find everything from gently used electronics to homecooked meals and designer handbags. You can also find a whole lot of cringey and hilarious items that offer more comedic value than they do usefulness. The r/CrackheadCraigslist is absolutely brimming with these kinds of questionable ads. While some of these images are very clearly the work of clever pranksters, some of them have us concerned for the sanity of their posters. Either way, we're just glad they exist.

Ever see a meme or tweet that while cursed or coy, was actually 100% true? If not, we're happy to introduce you to r/technicallythetruth. The subreddit is jam-packed with clever, smug, and sometimes unintentional sentiments that can't be argued with. While they may not be revolutionary, and some of the memes might be dumb, they're pretty damn entertaining. We've put together some of their latest and greatest arguably true tidbits for your perusal.

Some insults are just so beautifully poetic that you can't even be mad about them. All you can really do is nod your head and say, "touche" while you stare off pensively into the distance. The following examples demonstrate flawless execution, grace, and poise and we certainly think they're deserving of our recognition!

If you love gay content, you'll definitely be into these homoerotic memes and jokes that take the piss out of stereotypes perpetuated by straights. These are the sort of memes that would make any insecure straight homophobe very uncomfortable. You know, the kind of of dude who is so self-conscious about his masculinity, that he thinks it's 'gay' to have feelings for a woman. Wherever you are on the gay-straight spectrum, have fun scrolling through these hilarious memes about things that were either intentionally or accidentally gay. 

Vandalizing a sign or advertisement to change its meaning is a lot like making a meme if you think about it. That's why we can't get enough of the pictures people share on r/MildlyVandalised. How tempting is it to add a few extra words to a patronizing sign in your apartment building's laundry room, or put googly eyes on every ad you walk by? If you've ever had these urges, you can live vicariously through these clever tricksters. 

Replies this clever are pretty hard to come by; you've kinda just just gotta be in the right place at the right time, and brands like Wendy's - the absolute champions of the roast - know this all too well. Some of these people seriously deserve an award for their witty replies!
