When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And when life gives you a card that says "happy birthday," throw a "Jesus" on there to make it about Christmas. Whether it was grandmas with extra cards, or people who just couldn't find a "hope your deviated scrotum heals" card, here's people making do. Sometimes people's wordsmithing doesn't work out as well as this in the case of really not good signs and designs.

The users of AskReddit were met with a challenge to name things that would go in a startled house, which takes the concept of a haunted house but tones it down to just startling people rather then truly freaking them out. It's reminiscent of the punishments people thought up for the residents of Heck, which would be like Hell but not as bad.

Alright, this is downright, straight up, all around impressive. And the final result was good enough that you could tell the trees were pretty happy. Tumblr users are a creative bunch, doing stuff like writing an alien invasion story where the aliens are fought off by wildlife or expounding on wacky historical facts. Seriously, following along with MS Paint is brilliant and highly commendable.

Just cause these are being hailed as the "most useless inventions" of all time, doesn't mean that someone out there couldn't find a use for something ingenious as the sweat gutters. You never know what people might be on the lookout for. 

You're a busy person. Cut the fat out all your scary stories. All you need is two sentences to send a rush of chills down your spine. r/twosentencehorror combines succinctness and scariness in a fun, set-up punchline style. Anyway, here are 40 sentences of highly condensed spookiness.

Someone on AskReddit asked people to share what they imagined would go into a McDonald's "Angry Meal." The ensuing replies are deep-fried with angst and painful levels of hopelessness. Like how about a McDonald's job application and a salad. 

The internet's been caught up in a frenzy over the "Storm Area 51" Facebook event that has hundreds of thousands (if not a million by this time) of people jokingly signed up to storm the heavily guarded military base. We've been able to enjoy a steady influx of Area 51 memes, so no complaints there. And then things seemed to come to a head when the Air Force itself issued a formal warning to anyone giving serious consideration toward actually trying to storm Area 51. 

To keep the mood light, we've got a recent Twitter thread of Twitter users sharing what kinds of crazy stuff they think could be kept in Area 51. 

Writing your nickname on a train car is one thing but turning an electrical box into a self portrait is some cool and unexpected artwork. Here are interesting uses of urban environments that were transformed through clever and interesting painting. For more of these, check out these pieces of cool graffiti that reinvented urban environments.

At any given time, there's a lot of weird, creative, funny, dangerous and interesting stuff going on. And thanks to the internet we're able to document it and cram it into our noggins on the daily. For something weirder, here are a bunch of strange images that will make you say "that's enough internet for today."

When people aren't supporting Amazon and its bid for world domination, they're leaving wacky-ass reviews for stuff like cheese wheels and drums of lube. We're happy to see some weird and creative liberties taken with the site. Also we didn't know you could buy a coffin on there. Apparently there's tons. Kinda creeped us out.

Sometimes we get too caught up in all the tattoo fails to notice all the truly cool ones. These took some mark or scar and turned it into a piece of art. Under the magic hands of some skilled tattoo artist, a mark that made someone self conscious instantly became a wonderful conversation piece.

A French Bookstore is getting noticed on Instagram for their creative playfulness with book covers. Some are pretty striking. We're pretty big fans of coincidences and creative uses of stuff, and these pics are no exception.

Never underestimate Twitter users and their ability to absolutely ruin a movie as we knew it, by twisting it up with words of creative destruction. These 15 titles will make you cringe and chuckle at the same time. 

Bust these out at your next break room gathering to make all the friends. That, or you can always save it for your favorite coworker that you really want to make feel better (about hating you). @Insultmedaddy brings the fiery spiciness, and if you want more of where these come from, follow them over here!

This twitter thread gave way to people looking back on those occasionally painful, cringe-packed, silly moments from the days of their youth that were on brand, for the way they find themselves presented to the world, present day. Sometimes we unintentionally act out who we are, before we know it further on down the road. If that means you're an injury-prone clutz, pull up a seat, and join the club. 

It's always cool when people throw in some creativity to make something new. Our dads didn't do stuff like this for us, and frankly that could explain our outlook. Anyway, as for people who go the extra mile and make create stuff for their loved ones, here's a guy who pulled off an incredible birthday surprise.
