We're not sure if kidsare nuts because of their imaginations or if they're just regular people without a seasoned moral compass. Either way, this Twitter thread from @lukasbattleleaves us feeling like our families are very, very normal. From tales of sleepwalking sisters wielding knives, to locking tying a little brother in the basement, these stories are sure to make you laugh - and may very well creep you out.
The whole "white people don't season their food" thing sometimes feels offensive to those of us who lack melanin and worship the spice cabinet, but this Twitter story is proof that the stereotype exists for good reason. Twitter user @cavebeauty experienced the horror first-hand at a company potluck when her colleague brought raw chicken and a deep fryer to the event. Not only did he decline seasoning the chicken before frying it, but he was handling the chicken with his bare hands and touching stuff without washing them. Disturbing. Hopefully you'll read this nightmare long after digging into lunch.
Buckle up folks, this is one hell of a wild ride! Twitter user and comedian @avitable took to the social media site to regale us with a story of narrowly avoiding death at the hand of an unhinged stripper. It starts innocently enough with a Kevin Hart show, and ends with some seriously unfortunate mug shots. While we appreciate the insanity of his story, we're mostly just glad he made it out alive.
Who knew that a simple loaf of bread could bring so many Scottish drunkards together? We certainly didn't, but you know what they say: you never know when you'll find a holy symbol in something so ordinary. Okay, no one really says that but you get what we mean, right? Anyway, please enjoy this story brought to you by Jimmy Watkins.
Missing R. Kelly's Trapped In The Closet but feeling guilty because he's a scumbag? Have no fear! Twitter user @TheeDreadGod (a true master of the Twitter 'story time') is here with what can almost be considered a real-life version of the R&B singer's series. This dramatic twitter thread is full of twists, turns, and a whole lot of pizza. If you enjoy what you read below, give @TheeDreadGod a follow. He's got loads more stories where this one came from.
Because you didn't need to sleep tonight anyway, here's a Twitter story about a kid who discovers a terrifying old man in his home late at night. Thanks to Grady Hendrix for delivering this nightmare fuel! Now good luck falling asleep tonight.
Remember the story of the sled dog team we shared a couple weeks ago? You briefly got to meet Grinch, the dopiest member of the team with a brain equivalent to a box of rocks. Well, Grinch's mom Blair Braverman just shared this adorable story about his sledding mishaps that warmed our icy hearts right up.
Dog-sledder Blair Braverman wrote out an adorable Twitter thread introducing her dogsled team, and we can't even. She didn't have to bring us this squee-worthy material, but she did because she's the hero we need. Now onto the introductions!
Twitter user Oscarewilde proved she's an evil genius when she decided to lend out an absurdly large pencil she received as a gift. The result of lending the thing out is often quite awkward, as you'd imagine. You gotta find some use for a ridiculous gag gift like that after all, right?
Writer Michael Harriot dropped some serious history knowledge on Twitter this past Saturday and left us with slightly bigger brains and some serious chills. The Bahamas have been heavily featured in the news following the devastation of Hurricane Dorian, and this Twitter thread gives some powerful background on the history of the storm-ravaged island nation. Michael Harriot's expert storytelling (even when limited to 280 characters) gives serious oomph to an already compelling black history narrative of slaves and ex-slaves sticking it to the man.
It's a tradition that the older generations have to hate on the younger generations for absolutely any reason they can think of. Doesn't matter what for, because it was just "better back in the day," in their logic.
Self-described "recovering academic" Jenny Bann pulled up some hilariously enlightening historical records of the behavioral problems exhibited by 18th century male students in Scotland.
Let's just say they're...less than wholesome and make Millennials look angelic in comparison.
What do you think of when you hear the name "Cleopatra"? Most of us probably think of her as being a wily temptress with a bit of a man-eating habit, but according to this Twitter thread, there was even more crazy sh*t going on in the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt!
We can bet that history buffs will really get a kick out of this Twitter thread written by Anne Theriault!
People are all feels right now after the release of the trailer for the Mr. Rogers biopic, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. And in case that alone isn't good enough for you, he's portrayed by the always-wholesome Tom Hanks!
In the height of the Mr. Rogers hype, Twitter user Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg tweeted out an incredibly informative thread that gives us more of a look into what Mr. Rogers' life was really like. Let's just say, we didn't think we could love him any more than we already did!
