Sad

Careful, this post hits hard in the feelsplex. We get to hear some thoughts about life from a 24-year-old who was diagnosed with cancer, and too late for any good chance at survival. A definite big takeaway is don't sweat the small stuff. Make decisions from a place of courage, love, and positivity, and shape a beautiful life from there. 

Every once in a while a divorce attorney hears a real stupid reason for a couple wanting to get a divorce. Sometimes there's a straw that breaks the camel's back, sometimes someone is extremely petty, and other times someone is trying to cook up a legal scheme that would never actually work.

 Like people, cats and dogs can have responses to bee venom that can be mild to severe, but with the right attention and care they just swell up for a while and go back to normal. So for a while, you get an inflated dog or a cat with extreme lips. For some pet stories, here's a wholesome AirBnB with a neighborhood dog visitor as well as a Tumblr thread about a dog that figured out how to herd a lawn roomba.

We hope things are looking up for this person, and anyone else affected by potential mistreatment when staying in a Salvation Army shelter. 

Signs are an important part of everyday life. They communicate useful and relevant information like "crosswalk" or "food is hot" and they're such a necessary part of life that you can forget why they're there. Sometimes a danger is extraordinary, like an open mine shaft, bomb range or plague outbreak, and those terrifying signs make their message clear. There are some signs that speak the language of fear.

Sometimes it's satisfying when someone proves themselves wrong, other times it's kind of pitiful. Really it depends on the stakes. There are times when you can feel like you're talking to an idiot, and there are times, like these dumb questions people have been asked, when they prove it themselves.

Most of us aren't computer people, but we kind of know that you're not supposed to drill holes in your mouse or hammer anything into your USB port. You don't need to be in IT to know that these moments of Tech Support Gore can be pretty difficult to look at. For more proof that people suck with technology, here are ridiculous requests that IT workers received.

We all like to think, in our own nostalgic haze, that our old toys would be worth something today. In actuality, most of your old magazines, cards and complete collection of McDonald's Transformers probably aren't worth anything. But in some rare cases, people realize 20 years after the fact that their mom threw away thousands of dollars worth of stuff. On the other side of things, here are stupid purchases people regret making.

Brace yourself, this guy's story about discovering his dad's old notebook after he'd passed away is an emotional rollercoaster. Real or not, it's a beautiful and touching tale. 

Even if they're a little stunned at first, dogs seem to be pretty capable of telling the difference between identical sets of twins. A few cats seem to be real cats about it and not care at all. For more identical twin shenanigans, here are the best switcharoos pulled off by twins.

If you've ever tried to find an affordable, reliable car for cheap then you know just how stupid this interaction is. Depending on where you live, a good Civic for 3,000 is an angel's song wrapped in golden underwear. Hopefully for their sake, they'll never realize how dumb they've just been. There's just a too many entitled individuals out there with unreasonable demands.

Sometimes parents get it in their heads that to show the world that their child is a unique and brightly shining star, they'll name their kid something wacky. Maybe it'll be an extremely convoluted set of syllables, or in some cases of horrible names people encountered the name itself is a compromise or even a joke. Whatever the parents intentions, it can be detrimental to ones social life to have an unfortunately wild and silly name.

There have been a few high profile cases of researchers teaching gorillas and chimps sign language. Here Tumblr shares some of the dark and incredible moments with different apes and ASL. For some more everyday moments of animal intelligence, here are the most creepily intelligent things peoples pets have done. For some interesting tumblr animal stuff, here's an informative thread on how cats became domesticated.

People get married for a lot of reasons. You hope it's because they love each other. Sadly, and more dramatically, people get married over lies and convenience. Sometimes it's even made clear during the wedding that it's not gonna work out. For more wedding drama, here are some wedding meltdown stories as well as the time a bridezilla kept 30K in gifts after cancelling her wedding.

Here are a collection of humorous tweets about the ongoing pandemic. While people are still urged to stay inside and limit social contact, it's starting to take a toll on people's attitudes. There are more cases, and predictably, a whole lot of coronavirus tweets and memes. Here's a woman's experience who tested positive for the disease.
