There's cold and then there's the extreme kind of cold that results in lunatics playing frisbee with frozen clothing.

This idiot abroad ignored the warning signs about the ice floating away. He proceeds to get stuck on a piece of ice, float away, toss his sweatshirt into the ice cold water, and then make a terrible attempt at gracefully getting back to land. A solid fail all around.
What can we say, maybe this Tumblr user's cat is hot? If we had a cat that bolted into the fridge constantly we'd be freaking out all the time, but the fact that this cat seems content in there is sort of endearing, in a weird way. If you google "cat in fridge" this is just about the most wholesome result you're gonna find. For a cute but big cat fail, here's a mistaken animal lover who thought she'd found a stray cat.
When the world told these people, animals, and things to not do things, they did them, by gum. Not necessarily enough to get themselves in trouble, but more just for the thrill of breaking the rules. If you wanna see more people break the world in a way that it can be easily repaired by tomorrow, then here's more.
In case you missed it, it is insanely, bone-chilling (if not shattering) cold out in the midwest. Check this AskReddit we ran the other day, that includes people out there, sharing just what -30 degrees feels like. They're trudging through a polar vortex, for the ages. The pictures surfacing on Twitter, look like nothing short of an Ice Age kind of crazy, weather event. Seriously, I've heard word of -30 out there, and I suspect it's been even colder. We hope everyone's staying warm from the cold, and keeping safe!

You know it's getting unreasonably cold when maddened human beings up and start lighting train tracks on fire. We're specifically looking at a scenario where Metra crews in Chicago set fires along switchers to stop the tracks from potentially contracting, due to such extreme cold. No thank you!

The reaction to it hitting his calf is the beauty in a failed attempt. Maybe those potential scars he just acquired will serve as a pained reminder in the cost of stupidity given action.
Hell froze over and it's in Chicago. These extreme temperatures sound like a scene out of that apocalyptic flick, "The Day After Tomorrow", where Dennis Quaid is struggling through deathly cold, and arctic conditions out in New York. And here we are, present day, in real life, and watching it unfold. The cold temperatures we're reading are staggering. We hope everyone's staying safe and managing to find warmth out there and across the broader span of the East Coast right now.

While the bubbling hot springs reach a toasty 116 degrees, visitors of this Yukon spa often note their hair freezing in the chilly northern weather. The result, sweet frozen coifs!
