In honor of Thanksgiving this year, people are prank-texting their moms asking how long it would take to microwave a 25-pound turkey. The responses have been pretty priceless.

Florida's Escambia County Sheriff's Office struck social media gold on Tuesday after posting a mugshot of a wanted (and apprehended) criminal. Charles McDowell was arrested for a laundry list of charges, but according to Facebook, his greatest offense is having a seriously cartoonishly swole neck. While we all enjoy justice being served, there's something especially satisfying about seeing the internet rip this felon to shreds. We've included our favorite comments, but head on over to the thread for endless entertainment. 

Back in May, Twitter user Jordan Adams did the internet a huge favor by sharing some excerpts from his nephew's Pre-K cooking book. Now, we don't know about you but we weren't exactly ready for MasterChef Junior at the ripe age of 4. As you can imagine, these...inventive...recipes reflect their authors' age, culinary experience, and for some - seriously early onset stress and anxiety. 

Consider us humbled. While we have been preoccupied trying to rotate text in MS Paint, 87 year old Concha García Zaera has been creating full-fledged masterpieces with the program. In an interview with Radio Valencia, the Spanish grandmother revealed that she used to paint IRL - until her family bought her a computer. Since trading bristled brushes for brush tools, she's created 17 vibrantly hued digital artworks - and become a viral sensation on Twitter. 

While Concha isn't hurting for followers (She's already hit the 100k mark) we encourage you to smash that follow button and show her some love!

One mom's disaster of a family photo shoot has gone completely viral after she shared the haunting and hilarious photos on Facebook. Pam Zaring posted the insane images after paying over two hundred dollars for a "professional" shoot from Lesa Hall. From her account: 

"Ok. This is NOT a joke. We paid a photographer, who claimed to be a professional, $2-250 for a family photo shoot. Please see these FOR REAL photos she delivered to us....She said the shadows were really bad on the beautiful, clear, sunny day and that her professor never taught her to retouch photos. Feel free to share 😂😂😂 I literally have not laughed this hard in YEARS!!!!! You can't make this stuff up.....again, this is NOT a joke - final product 🤣"

The Facebook gallery has racked over 300k shares from places as far as Morocco. It's become such a hit that there's even a parody account for the photographer, and people are starting to wonder if the whole thing is an elaborate marketing hoax. We really, really hope it's not.

A new hashtag game has emerged on Twitter that will keep you busy until the inevitable onslaught of video game news next week at the E3 Expo.

Using #NintendoaMovie, the internet is injecting some classic video game nostalgia into your favorite films.

Why are they doing this? Who knows.
