You just never know when Tumblr's wandering minds are going to band together to dish out some fresh and welcomed knowledge about your favorite little furry friends. In this case, we have some fun factoids floating around about why cats insist on rubbing their heads on humans. It's all good stuff. As if we needed any more reasons to love cats more than we already do. Check out another thread from Tumblr with this thread about Hollywood's toxic beauty standards. 

The movies can fill one's vulnerable mind with all kinds of incorrect and ultimately unhealthy ideas about how your life is supposed to look. This particular Tumblr thread calls out movies for the stereotypes that they perpetuate when it comes to unrealistic standards for men and their physicality. What it all really boils down to is that looks are nothing. Just do it for your health and your health alone. 

Sometimes an innocent little fail like a typo can go on to inspire an epic, time-honored tradition like rabidly checking the NORAD Santa Tracker. This Tumblr thread breaks down how a small typo in a Sears ad resulted in the North American Aerospace Defense Command having a special phone. So many kids' childhoods have been all the better for it. Gotta keep that Christmas spirit alive while you can. Check out some more random gold from Tumblr with this post about the time that an Ultima Online gamer nuked their fellow players right out of orbit. 

This "master in animal sciences" proceeded to get schooled in an enlightening Tumblr thread about how horses and their legs work. They previously assumed that horses could get around just fine on three legs without prosthetics, and were also 80% sure that people could not ride on them if they had three legs. Queue the educational Tumblr moment. 

So the reason you think you look like a pile of dog crap in the same shirt as Hugh Jackman is cause all celebrity clothes are tailored specifically to fit them. Bunch of bastards. I guess the answer is to either get your clothes tailored like actors and models or to stop trying to look like you belong in a magazine. Or just give up on the whole thing, fashion is stupid anyway.

Tumblr is like a pinball machine of thoughts just banging around, firing off neurons into eddies and dead ends of silliness. You end up with a lot of comedy gems from the wild world of Tumblr. With so much creative chaotic energy speeding into each other like atoms in a super collider, you can't be too sure of the gems Tumblr has to offer.

Here are some clever and creative implements for sitting. Some of them even look comfortable. If you think these designs are too well thought out, then here are some design fails that were someone's one job. And for a way less comfortable place to sit, here are some toilets with threatening auras.

In an effort to try to recognize everything at a glance, eyes sometimes throw information at us that doesn't exactly make sense. Strange perspective can give us things that shouldn't exist, for instance, a valley inside of a fence post, or a cat with a human butt.

There are just bound to be rare moments that go against all odds. Some are absolutely wild occurrences where life and death hung in the balance. Others are like, a double onion. They're both interesting and unlikely, but some have a little more gravity.

Somewhere along the way, classic idioms and sayings with two parts got shortened to the first one, and everyone's just been using them wrong for a while. Tumblr gets itself into spirals of informative weirdness, like this Tumblr thread that actually makes history fun.

We're not sure whether this whole rumor mill about Sesame Street's foreboding and forbidden Crack Monster is actually real or not. Regardless of whether or not this is nothing more than an imaginative work of fiction from some of Tumblr's wandering minds, it's still certainly an intriguing concept. At least we were able to find the infamous video (see end of list). We just wonder if all the other details about the story are true. If you're looking for more entertaining Sesame Street content, check out this post where Tumblr insists that Big Bird isn't an Apex predator.

The subreddtit r/Showerthoughts offers moments of insight and clarity that most of us can only hope to dream up when we're in the shower. A few minutes of silent, pensive oneness with the universe and soap is sometimes the only way to get the brain really running. Shower thoughts melt minds in all the right ways.
