animals

Buckle up and prepare yourself for a wildly entertaining and informative thread on cats. They are fascinating creatures. And to think with all this knowledge at our disposal, we annoy these fearless predators! 

We've seen a whole lot of not fun facts that are scary and disappointing. Sure, they're inherently compelling, but it kind of starts to bring down your world view. So here are some nicer facts that are on the uplifting side. For some surprisingly interesting facts, here's a twitter thread on fonts that is actually fascinating. And if you just want to feel smart about the things you already know, here are some of the dumbest things people had to explain to adults.

Apparently some cows are escape artist. When this cop heard about a weird dispatch he decided to check it out and the results were far from disappointing. This was nothing like this funny escaped cow who went back in after being yelled at. And for more police stuff, here are some funny times cops were cool.

We're huge fans of a good old fashioned photoshop battle. Seeing a frog get turned into a convincing Princess Leia is something we'd never thought possible until now. We're truly in a golden age of photo-editing based humor competitions.

We don't know what these animals are up to, but their intentions look quite ominous. Their spooky and their auras are absolutely threatening. Or we could just say these are simple cases of perfect timing. 

Three years ago it all started, and now it comes full circle. Seeing as the internet is usually just one giant dumpster fire with all manners of trashy nonsense, this right here, is a refreshing, wholesome, twist. 

Animals get up to some pretty interesting shenanigans when they think no one is watching. There's raccoons climbing on top of wild pigs, flying squirrels on dive bombing runs, and deer just freakin' out. These animals behavior may be weird, but their demeanor is nothing compared to the many nopes of Australia. For more animal shenanigans, here are some stories fromfarmers whose animals made them think "how'd they do that?"

Australia is a land of beauty, wonder, bird eating spiders, venomous snakes, hundred pound lizards, and straight up balls of scary looking goo that's ready to kill you at any gleeful opportunity. There are a lot of things to avoid in Australia, and it's a running gag on the internet of how dangerously nope-tastic the whole continent can be.

The warning signs here are doing a great job. Like if you find yourself about to swim and then notice a little ol' ENORMOUS SIGN in all caps that says "THIS RIVER IS CONTAMINATED WITH FECAL BACTERIA" you may find yourself a little dissuaded from jumping in. So good job, terrifying signs of the world. Some of these signs don't even know they're scary, sinister or weird, but that doesn't make them not have a threatening aura.

Someone on AskReddit asked for farmers to share the times that their animals left them speechless, and very confused. For instance, definitely had no idea that cows could apparently climb ladders. 

Sometimes your eyes deserve a workout. Your brain is constantly trying to process images all day, and it does a really good job of that most of the time. That said, there are fun images out there that will make your brain see the wrong thing, or two things at once. Weird perspective can go a long way in creating real life optical illusions that are worthy of a double-take.

Those NYC subway commuters were not about to be psyched out by a little ban saying they couldn't bring dogs on the subway. So, they adapted and now we get to enjoy a ton of New Yorkers walking around the subway with their dogs in ridiculous bags.
