Just in case you were unaware, the 11foot8+8 bridge has developed quite the notorious reputation online for its track record of claiming the roofs of trucks that fail to properly map out the height of the bridge vs. the height of the truck. Fortunately, it doesn't appear as if anyone is getting injured in the process. Just some blows to the egos.
We all have preconceived notions of the places we hear about. "Paris is romantic" we think, before stepping off the plane and onto a rat who works nights as a chef. "Venice is also romantic" we think, before our gondola crashes into a fellow tourist and the gondola guys get into a naval fistfight. Every time we travel, we have an opportunity to learn.
We all endure our off days. Some days are filled with more fails than others. It can feel as if the universe itself is proactively working against you. But hey, it's all about recognizing that to be a human being and exist in a world that by its very nature is spontaneous, is to always be susceptible to making mistakes. We can bond through the collective struggle. Or, at the very least, we can feel better about our own fails through reminding ourselves that there's always going to be someone else out there that's wiping out as well.
We love some good old fashioned translation fails. In this case, we have a funny little Tumblr thread shining light on a series of translation fails that resulted from trying to translate an English book from summer camp. Yes, it would certainly be terrifying if you were trying to chill at summer camp and had a ton of tiny wolves (chipmunks) running around the premises. Check out some more stupid, random, and brilliant gems from Tumblr over here.
Um, okay, so this guy should clearly have a part in the next Elder Scrolls game. He's out there effortlessly rapping off nonsensical sentiments like a real life Elder Scrolls NPC. Of all the real life Elder Scrolls moments that the internet has produced, this one right here can't be beat.
Trying to pass off counterfeit bills is one of the dumbest things that a human being can do. Just picturing the look on this guy's face when he returned to the gas station, and saw those cops waiting to take him in is priceless. The fact that he had almost $2K of counterfeit bills on him was the true icing on the cake.
There's no denying the fact that "The Lighthouse" was one whole trip of a cinematic experience. In particular, this segment where Robert Pattinson just goes off about some stench brewing in the lighthouse is pure comedy gold.
You see it over and over again, someone parks like a jackass, then finds that someone can be a jackass right back to them. This guy who wasted an illegally parked Karen's time is another good example. People will never learn when it comes to this stuff, which is why people keep having to step in.
Cleverness and intelligence are two very different things. The difference can be spotted freely lurking throughout technically correct dumb jokes and moments. Honestly, just knowing things can be boring. Setting up oneself up with some potentially confusing technically accurate logical acrobatics or painfully stupid literalisms is the way to go.
We're no bone-ologists, but we fully admit that skeletons can be misleading. Maybe its that seeing only the pointy bits of an animal seriously drops its capacity for cuddlyness. If anything, these exercises in guessing are a stark reminder that every few years we get told a new way we've been wrong about dinosaurs, and it hurts every time. For a completely empirical discussion of the sciences, here's Tumblr's list of sciences judged on lickability.
Kids can be very mean. So, it's understandable that this dude went into survival mode and faked an accent just to try to steer clear of being bullied. With that being said, it's especially hilarious that he had to maintain the fake British accent for so dang long. I say, just keep it going, man. Really double down on refining that accent so that it's completely unrecognizable from the real thing.
The majority of the money we'll make in our lives will be hard fought, argued or worked for. But sometimes we have those rare but wonderful moments where someone uses your likeness on a billboard or a rich dude pays you to dance. And it's great every time. We've all fallen into stupid money and we've all spent that money on dumb things.
Even technology is prone to moments of failure. In this case, sit back and watch a meteorologist try to make the best out of being cloned during a live broadcast. Guess you've just got to roll with it sometimes.
In an effort to trim down a company, some managers try eliminating vital positions without replacing them. Some managers illegally dock pay, and IT has to get it all back. In this case a hotheaded manager went and made a pretty big mistake while also making sure there was a lot of proof for that mistake. Nice. Some managers are super chill, like this boss who used an eye gag to remove problem customers.
