A slow clap is in order.

What the....?

To be clear, it isn't that thing.

Being gullible can be something of a curse . As a person who, sadly, falls into that category, I understand the struggle. Most recently, a friend somehow convinced me that newts and salamanders were the “original gummies." He claimed that when cured properly, the critters were satisfyingly chewy, and served as inspiration for Haribo and other gummy candies we know and love. I only found out he was lying a few days later. Thank goodness I didn't tell anyone else this incredibly false fact. The w…

Innuendo central

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Childhood - especially with siblings - can be pretty nuts. And we're not sure if kids are nuts simply because of their imaginations or if they're just regular people without a seasoned moral compass. Either way, this Twitter thread from @lukasbattle leaves us feeling like our families' squabbles were very, very normal. From tales of sleepwalking sisters wielding knives to tying up a little brother and locking him in the basement, these stories are sure to make you laugh - and may very well cree…

If you think you're bored, you better be grateful you weren't born before the internet was invented. Back in those dreary pre-meme days, kids had to walk up to twenty miles just to read a joke in the “joke” section in the back of the local paper. And the joke was never even good. Before the internet, people were forced to awkwardly stare at each other on public transportation and sometimes even make friendly conversation. That's right, it was normal to make small talk with random strangers. Bef…

Forget wholesome content and happy memes . Sometimes we all need to scroll through a selection of cringey moments that can only be described as "dumpster fire." From horrible weeb posts to questionable and offensive fashion choices, we've got an awful lot of content that falls into this incredibly cursed category. But sometimes you need to give yourself up to the cringe and just lean in. You know, so we can all feel a bit better about ourselves.

These first world anarchists do not give a flying frick

Some kids are built for academic tests and some just aren't. But failing at a pop quiz doesn't necessarily mean a kid isn't smart. In fact, a certain kind of “ technically correct ” wrong answer is often a testament to a kid's cleverness. We've collected a bunch of funny examples of wrong exam answers that still deserve an “A” for comedic genius in our eyes. Or at least a couple of pity points.

These rebels are out of their damn minds

The mind is a trickster, often making us feel like something is not quite as it seems through easily deceived eyes. Optical illusions are all around us. We just don't really notice them unless they're frozen in time by a photograph. Because a picture is flat, it's easy for our brains to perceive them differently than they really are. That's why you should never trust images. But once you come to terms with the fact that every image is a lie, then you can start to really enjoy them. We've got a…

It's easy to feel a bit jaded by this world. Especially considering that with the advent of the Internet came the eventual ability to be able to answer any question we're stumped by, see anything we're curious about, and write down any/every stupid thought we have. Being able to know anything - and almost anything - kind of takes a lot of mystery and magic away from day-to-day life. Instead of sitting on this Amtrak train, admiring the lush environs of the Hudson Valley, I'm getting work done.…

Woah there

There are some people in this world who make you really feel good about your own intellectual capabilities. In other words, their stupidity is astounding. Unfortunately for these people, that stupidity was displayed on national television for everyone to witness. If these people are an indication of average intelligence, then we fear for the state of humanity. Yikes. Guess you don't have to be smart to get onto a game show, after all.
