So, maybe getting out of the ocean was a very bright idea after all. What starts as a seemingly innocent little Tumblr thread on the baby oarfish ends up escalating into a series of insights about just how monstrously big the oarfish can end up being. I honestly just wonder what Pokémon was inspired by this bad boy. If you're looking for another interesting read from the wonderful wandering minds of Tumblr, check out this thread about Hollywood's toxic beauty standards. 

Given the amount of time we spend just existing, it's pretty likely that we're bound to see a few unlikely occurrences and rare moments in our lives. But thanks to the fact that there's a lot of us all existing at the same time, doing all sorts of stuff, rare moments and unlikely occurrences happen way more frequently than they feel like they should. And that's kind of cool.

People's motivation to create things is sometimes stronger than their drive to make something tasteful of even useful. At heart, that's a good thing. But in practice, things can get weird. It usually goes one of two ways. For the problem solving pragmatist, there are low budget DIY solutions. And for the misguided artists, there are impressive creations of dubious taste.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the wildest revelations that came to light after various families tried out those Ancestry DNA tests. This certainly isn't the first time that we've encountered some crazy Ancestry DNA drama. We had the one dude who ended up creating chaos in his family after purchasing one of the $99 kits. We also had that other story about a family getting completely blindsided by an emotionally shocking secret from another one of the kits. 

What's the use of throwing anything away? If someone finds some dumb junk, they're gonna try selling it online. It's amazing what kinds of things people will try to pass off as collectable these days, but that doesn't stop anyone from trying. Old Taco Bell furniture, unique-looking cheetos and homemade lawnmowers are all at the top of the list of ridiculous junk people try to sell online.

When it comes to the worst things that could happen to someone who decides to sit on/near a fire escape, this spidery scenario basically ranks right up there with almost falling off a dang fire escape. We can only imagine how much adrenaline was coursing through this poor person's body when they got the surprise of a lifetime. 

Just in case you were thinking about shaking up your daily caffeine fix with something new and magical, this Cuban espresso story should absolutely serve as a cautionary tale to never underestimate, well, a Cuban espresso. This dude unknowingly purchased a fast pass to the fifth dimension as he downed a full Cuban espresso. Fair to say that he's humbled at this point. 

There's no beating around the bush when it comes to spectacular hazards and ominous signs. It's pretty hard to ignore a sign that says "watch your step: open mine shafts" or "radioactive zone" or "step past this line and your mistakes are your own." The creepiest and most sinister signs often mean the most business. It just goes to show that paying attention is usually a good idea.

After this guy paid the tab and left a bad date, his date had some strong words about what she feels she deserves. Then she started throwing out accusations about theft and claims of body guards. It seems like a real treat to deal with. What is it they say? Sometime's someone's just not that into you. And maybe for good reason. Sometimes people can't handle it when they don't get what they feel like they deserve, like this classmate who demanded to have a project or this gullible jerk who got trolled demanding free art.

This train conductor clearly chose the wrong profession. The dude has a knack for investigating. That passenger doesn't even know what hit him. 

It's common to see entitled people wanting free and cheap childcare, like this entitled dad who wanted free art and babysitting but gets neither, but you rarely get to see what kind of monsters they can be in detail. This lady seems like an absolute treat...

Life is unpredictable, and some unfortunate moments are bound to happen. All you can really do is take them in stride and take some solace in the fact that other people also have to deal with life's unfortunate failures and moments of chaos. There's runaway tires, lumber spills on the freeway, and deceptively baked bread. Given the option, you kinda hope for the bread one.
