This Twitter thread highlights the invisible advantage experienced by some men in various workplaces, while working alongside women. This man's experience with accidentally signing off on emails as his female coworker, Nicole, ended up resulting in multiple clients making him jump through more unnecessary hoops just because they thought he was a woman. So dumb.
Imagine being in your own house minding your own business, then you look out the window and realize someone is staring at you. And you can't know how long they've been watching. It's happened before, and it's freaky as hell. For some extra creepiness, here's the story of a dad's instincts as well as some creepy facts to feel unsettled about.
After asking an honest question about how this user didn't get why people were made uncomfortable by being preached at, they got an honest answer in the form of a lesson in group psychology, and the formation of in-groups and out-groups. For something more lighthearted, here are some absolutely insane quora questions, and here's a tumblr thread explaining the loopholes when it comes to holy water.
This guy cannot be for real. There's no way.

An investigation is underway after two ships collided on the Welland Canal in Ontario in what looks like the largest game of chicken ever played by two boats. It looks like someone might lose their job over this one.

Yikes. Would not want to be anywhere close to this adrenaline charged predicament.
Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the funniest and most ruthless reviews that students ever left for teachers. Students can get real creative with the rare insults when it comes to their final words on a particular teacher. Would expect nothing less.
It's not a sin to want something for cheap or free, but things become clouded when you start ignoring people's effort, try tricking them, get weirdly abusive or display unwarranted pickiness. Prospective employers will demand people have 10 years of experience for an entry level job, strangers will demand to use your Netflix account, moms will lose it over free seashells, and other various entitled folks will make frustrating demands.
We're not sure if we like puns all that much, but they definitely have a time and a place. A well placed dad-joke can bring down the house or make you want to slam your hand in a car door. Either way if you're aching for clever and not-so-clever wordplay, there are puns to fill the pun void.
One of the biggest problems with archaeology is having to make enormous guesses about what things must have looked like with no meat on them. Sure, Jurassic Park's visual effects were cool but there's constant reinterpretations of what dinosaurs actually looked like, and mistakes like having bones backwards and not realizing it for decades. Tumblr has a vivid imagination of how aliens would interact with earth's wildlife, and these memes do a fun job of combining our own archaeological difficulties with the sci-fi-ness of an alien who has no clue what they're looking at.
Activated charcoal can reduce the effectiveness of certain drugs, so medical professionals advise not taking it if you're on certain heart medications or antidepressants. When one Tumblr user got overzealous touting the effectiveness of natural remedies, some other folks jumped in to clarify the situation. This can happen, like this tumblr user who got schooled on physics and car safety or this person who got schooled on horses.
Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most frightening things that woke people up in the middle of the night. Night time is full of unexplainable moments of spookiness. Sometimes we partially wake up, and experience those chilling moments of sleep paralysis when we're absolutely convinced that there's a demon homie chilling at the end of the bed. Or, maybe it's that pleasant moment when a poster falls off the wall and you spring awake as your heart leaps outside of your chest.
