If something in life seems too good to be true, that's probably because it is. Take this customer's experience with being able to buy an $89 computer. Turns out that $89 computer was actually supposed to be over $800. Whoops. With that being said, the customer didn't do anything wrong. That doesn't mean that they're not going to be potentially legally implicated if they refuse to meet that store in the middle. Seems like quite the tricky and awkward situation. 

Look at those guys. This strange horticultural technique called Espalier aims to grow trees in a flat manner, which can end up increasing fruit yield, and maximizing or minimizing sunlight exposure. Tinker around with that sunlight exposure, and you're actually able to capitalize on more fruitful growing seasons. With all the benefits of Espalier having been noted, there's no getting around the fact that it does look like a real life take on the infamous video game, Terraria. 

Check out some more weird tree lore with this Tumblr thread about how trees are low key monsters.

There are way too many instances of choosing beggars complicating situations that involve people literally offering them free stuff. We're getting a strong vibe in this interaction that the choosing beggar was just dishing out all the excuses, to avoid having to do any actual "work" for their free A/C unit. Gotta love the aggressive positivity from the charitable person offering up the A/C. 

Check out some more juicy choosing beggar drama with this owner who responded to an absolutely ridiculous review of their auto shop.

It sounds like it should be a cursed food straight from lucifer's larder, but it looks like this person successfully made bread using Gatorade as an essential component. It feels like the phrase "Gatorade bread" should never be used to describe a real life thing, but evidently it can work. Here are some really bad cakes that deserve to be destroyed.

People that steal are the worst. People that steal during the holidays are a whole new level of immoral and selfish. Especially those folks like the ones in this story that have the audacity to steal from "Grandpa" at Christmastime. Fortunately, it's not actually a gift from Grandpa. You might call it a harsh lesson in the value of not stealing someone else's presents. Check out some more revenge drama with this employee who caught their manager stealing, and ended up getting a nice raise as a result.

People seem capable of soaring to unprecedented heights of pure savage pettiness, when it comes to what kinds of texts they'll send their exes after a breakup. It could be a moment of human weakness, or the inevitable manifestation of a broken heart looking to bring their old special someone else some of the pain they feel weighted down by. Hopefully none of these texts ring any bells. 

It's truly crazy just how much of an impact one small decision can end up having in the grand scheme of things. Or maybe what we merely conceptualize as being a "small decision" on the surface level, is nothing of the sort. The universe is weird, and likes to keep us on our toes. Maybe that's the inherently fun part about living -- is not knowing what's coming around the corner, and certainly not knowing what a minor move will go on to cause. 

Well isn't this just some simply wonderful wholesome holiday goodness? If there's one thing that this quick seasonal post about some kids designing Christmas lights has shown us, it's that more kids should be in charge of designing Christmas lights. 

Some of us grew up hearing from our high school teachers that college professors were going to be insufferably difficult. Some of us ended up with that being the case. Then others, others encountered professors with surreal levels of chill or just genuine detached boredom. Whether these email exchanges are real or not, they certainly paint quite the pretty, relaxed picture of what the higher education life can be like. I wonder if it's even more ridiculous nowadays with everyone being forced to complete their studies from home. 

People have done stupid things for a long time and it doesn't seem like we're gonna stop anytime soon. History lets us see some of humanity's highlights when it comes to making irreparable mistakes, doing weird garbage, and getting killed in idiotic ways. Here are some history memes to feel smart about as well as some of the great trollings of history.

Communication is key, and this manager who couldn't pay enough attention to make his own password got exactly what he asked for. As it turns out, this kind of thing isn't so rare. For another time someone at work wanted something but wasn't clear enough, here's a boss who demanded a demolished office but got more than that.

Oh boy, we've got a fresh collection of people taking ridiculous petty revenges on one another. Some folks just refuse to let other people's unconscious behavior roll off their back, and instead they proceed to hatch masterful, crazy petty revenges. These people certainly held nothing back. 

Check out another juicy petty revenge tale with this sister who always stole her sibling's food, so the sibling took revenge at the graduation.

As it turns out, Legolas doesn't need to worry about that silly horizon. Nor does any other elf in Tolkien's wild word. Tolkien lore actually shines light on the true nature of elves, and their ability to see the world as a flat disc, while everyone else sees it as a globe. Pretty fun stuff. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about the crude king of satire, Skweezy Jibbs.
