One doesn't have to go rooting around in history books long to find something extremely weird about our collective past. There are too many history moments that are too dumb to seem real already, and we keep making more every day. If there's one reason to get into history, it's so you can get these sweet historical memes to become one with time.

Here's a teacher who used what they had on hand to change a bad situation into a better one. Teachers span this wide gradient of "life-changingly good" to "future-shatteringly bad," so it's no wonder students have hilarious misconceptions about teachers. When a teacher goes off the rails, there's no telling what they'll do, like this weird junk said by teachers or this teacher who got a pink slip and chose all the least qualified students for a school project.

We know that big movie studios stick to classic money making formulas, and that can lead to bland, predictable movies. But it looks like it's way worse when it comes to advertising for those movies. It's interesting, but a little disheartening seeing how predictable human behavior is, especially when it comes to entertainment. It's like they said, you can't unsee it. If anyone thought this was enough, Tumblr went hard analyzing The Incredibles to oblivion. Tumblr has a thing for analyzing movies, like this hyper analysis of Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean. Here's a tumblr user who ranked the marvel movies based on how many trains were in them, and here's tumblr's dicussion of the visual affects of Jurassic Park.

Tyrannical managers, dull coworkers and entitled customers. That's what anyone who's worked retail will tell you is their experience, day in, day out. Many of us will work in a store or restaurant at some point, and there's not much to do but battle through the daily grind and look at retail memes to dull the pain. For a fun story, here's an entitled customer who expected a store to stay open late just for them.

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.

As we've all had hammered into our heads from an early age, dolphins and whales are mammals. Put extremely simply, dolphins started when some kind of weird pig/rat/wolf/hippo creature figured land was a bad move and there were more opportunities back in the water. That in-between thing looks like a failed science experiment. Nature has produced some strange things, like this cold-blooded freak-devil cave goat. For some mythological biology, here's Tumblr's take on dragon evolution.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the best plain old bad ideas that people decided to commit to anyways. Humans can be amazingly stubborn creatures that are prone to standing by undeniably bad ideas, just because they don't want to spend any more time and energy on pivoting into a plan that actually might work. The good news in this strange universe of constant unpredictability is that these bad ideas actually ended up shaking out favorably for the people that saw them through. 

Real or not, this Twitter thread about a man's strange journey through a completely bizarre McDonald's drive thru is definitely one for the books. Fast food establishments have an uncanny knack for attracting all kinds of unexpected situations in this wild universe. Sometimes it's just entitled customers that are pitch fits about a whole bunch of nothing. Other times, it's the actual employees and they're trying to sell you apple pies of McDonald's dollar menu, at a discount. 

Sure, the world might have its own expectations about what is proper conduct, but the mad lads of the world don't see it that way. Mad lads pave their own way through shenanigans, trickery and bold brashness of all kinds. They may have different ideas of what counts as out-of-bounds, but they're all maniacal mad lads who don't give a dang.

It's no question that puns are a sometimes food. When the human mind isn't ready for a sackful of puns to spill all over, they just become grating and horrible. But a well timed joke or an expertly dropped dad joke can turn frowns all sorts of directions. Puns are like a pizza or a baby. It's all about the delivery.

Unfortunately, many of us have found ourselves firmly in the middle of a job that seems to drain our very souls at an alarmingly efficient rate. Sometimes, it gets down to having to take ridiculous orders from a bullish, and entirely incompetent manager. Maybe one like in the story we find here. What an emotional rollercoaster this one ends up being. 

You don't need to know much about computers to understand that being asked to print a video file is a stupid endeavor, but this manager wasn't having it. Apparently this was the last thing on top of a pile of other complaints that led to her professional demise. Sometimes managers really don't know whats up, leading to stories like this employee who robbed a museum to prove a point. Here's one about an Aunt Karen who offered exposure for art payment and her scam fell apart.

It sounds like this entitled family got exactly what they deserved. Nothing quite brings the blood to a boil like a whole bunch of toxic manipulation. This family was certainly laying that on real thick. Gifts can really end up being their own kind of weapon.

Say the nice things you want to about planet earth, this place is still abounding with selfish behavior, dizzying mediocrity and all kinds of trashy moments riddled with garbage-ness. There's folks parking on top of grave sites, stealing stuff from kids, and many more trashy moments that belong on garbage island.

For most people, dating is about being suave and trying to subtly insinuate how much money you make. But for the rest of us, it's all about how many bone-shatteringly clever and stupid puns you can shoehorn into a short conversation. And if someone mentions that they have an out-of-the-ordinary job? All aboard the pun train, choo choo. Tinder is known to get some cheesy and stupid moments, but hey man everyone's doing their best. For fans of wordplay and cleverness, here are technically accurate moments that aren't exactly wrong.
