Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the craziest things that people have slept through. Many of us have known (or are that person ourselves) someone who has an uncanny knack for being able to drift off to the dreamland, and remain there, through moments of absolute chaos. Could be sleeping through multiple fire alarms, or maybe something like remaining unstirred when a literal lightning bolt strikes the airplane. 

Now that's a beautifully executed pro revenge. The guy managed to bring on his roommate's downfall, without the roommate even having any idea about how that happened in the first place.

Memes are a sort of ephemeral form of communication. Most of them need some sort of context in order to operate well. As this tumblr thread shows, the further we get from some, understanding them becomes a form of cultural anthropology. These ones still mostly make sense though so it's still pretty funny. For more tumblr stuff, here are some random tumblr gems to tumble through.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most mindless things that people have ever witnessed out in the world. The thread was inspired by the late George Carlin's infamous quote about how when you meet someone seemingly stupid, there's also another person out there that's going to be twice as dumb as they are. Just considering that, it's no wonder that the kinds of occurrences in this thread are taking place in the world. 

Anyone who has ever hatched up a dream business idea with a friend will resonate with this cheery, wholesome, genuinely adorable story about a couple friends starting a bookstore together. 

In this busy world of ours, it's easy for things to slip through the cracks. Maybe a pole gets installed wrong here, or some road signage gets misspelled there. Many of us would look at these and say "we better fix that" but another great many of us say "good enough." The resulting impressively unprofessional "Not My Job" moments are indeed good enough, but in a different kind of way.

We're geared to look for tasty things to eat and there's nothing we can do about it. Well, the one thing we can do is not eat something that's obviously a rock or bowl of poison. The thing is, there's so much tempting stuff out there that looks like food but isn't. It's hard to keep track of it all.

Man oh man, it sounds like this coworker was a whole lot of extra. The dude was late, as some human beings are prone to be on occasion, and the coworker made a whole deal out of it at 7:10 AM on a Saturday morning, Sounds like the boss was having none of it as well.

Tumblr has a love for delving into Pixar movies, specifically Ratatouille and The Incredibles. For example, here's Tumblr's deep look at The Incredibles as well as Tumblr's look at the significance of the Ratatouille Chef Boyardee scene. To give credit where credit is due, they're good movies worthy of attention. That said, Tumblr gets extreme with its analysis of this kind of stuff.

There's nothing wrong with finding ways to share your appreciation for Game of Thrones. Even if the last season and that finale was some whole other kind of mess, but leave the newborn baby out of the process. Or, or if you're going to name your newborn after a character from the show, at least spell their name right. The name that this new mom settled on sounds like it'd manifest in nothing short of a waking nightmare for the kid every time they went to introduce themselves.
