Tumblr has got a raging petard for medieval battle tactics and the consensus seems to be that what the past lacked in sanitation, it made up for with cool swords and unconventional weapons. Sometimes you see some gizmo an Italian blacksmith threw together six hundred years ago and all you can think is "that is badass." Who knew history could be fun.

May these aid you in your hunt for new jokes to impress your friends who you've already told all your good jokes to. Everyone's heard the "chicken crossed the roads" and "why the long faces" of the world, so here are people's go-to "you probably haven't heard this one before" jokes. In addition to theses, here are some pun-tastic dad jokesand jokes people love that no one else does. 

The world has its fair share of entitled folks and their frustrating demands, but sometimes it gets worse than someone just wanting a discount for no reason. Sometimes people's approach to haggling is writing out their intent to come over to your house and mess you up. It's pretty stupid. For another ridiculous person who wanted a deal, here's a choosing beggar raging after rejection and getting shut down again.

Back in school, many of us were tempted to write a goofy fake name or have a bunch of stupid place holding statements in essays like "Dumb evidence goes here god dammit." More times than we'd like to admit, we remembered and deleted them moments before turning in said essay. This time a student actually turned it in, tried to save themselves with an apology, and the professor had a sense of humor about it. It's not too far-fetched, teachers have to deal with dumb essays all the time.

Not only are words hard to spell, sometimes they're also hard to think of. For example, there are times when you can picture the image of a woodpecker in your head but the only thing that comes out is "jackhammer bird." When someone can't think of how to spell "spaghetti" they get extremely creative and come up with misspellings that feel like a kick in the dictionary.

Apparently you don't even have to be in a store for a Karen to look down on you. Seems like Karen saw this dude mowing his lawn, decided he was a kid working for a lawn mowing service and went from there. For some more Karen stories, here's one about a Canadian giant humbling a grocery store Karen as well as a Karen customer who got defeated with kindness.

You can never truly know why someone is posting an ad online. It could be that they wanted to sell their art or share their craftsmanship. Sometimes they just want to make a joke or totally freak out strangers. Whether it's a baby doll/arachnid hybrid or a tortilla shaped like Lincoln, people won't stop trying to sell bizarre stuff online.

There was always a sort of extended leniency toward crap that popular kids could get away with, but sometimes they either flew too close to the sun or played a part in some high school's "incident". Sometimes it wasn't even up to them, but that's just how things shake out sometimes. Sometimes they come back for round two and make high school reunions awkward.

This one is partly on the patient and partly on the hospital. It's like that classic joke where a patient gets poked and prodded by random dude in a doctor's coat. Sometimes people's expectations and rudeness precede them, like this customer kept asking for a man, and he ended up in the legal department.

Sometimes it's too hard to fight your brain, and you just have to accept that you thought the top some lady's head looks like Oscar the grouch. These and other double-take-inducing photos of skewed perspective are enough to make you think about whether or not your eyes are actually on your side.

With the ability to digitally reconstruct what historical figures would look like with modern style, it makes sense that the first thing people would do would be to judge how that person would act in a bagel store. For more history that puts things in a more human context, here's a Tumblr thread on a dude actually having fun in an old picture as well as a thread about depicting prehistoric people as cool dudes.

Staring into people's mouths all day has gotta be a bummer, so it's fun to hear about a dentist who takes their job as seriously as a bored Walmart employee. For more weird stuff that happened on the job, here's a pizza deliverer's list of strange people they've met, as well as more people who didn't give a heck.

In one fell swoop of anger, this boss managed to lose his entire digital marketing department, and had no way to dig himself out. Sometimes bosses forget that their employees are human beings, who actually have the capacity to ruin their day, like this boss who tried to play an employee, or this boss who tried to play Alpha.

Twitter is at times a bundle of arguments just screaming over each other, but mostly it's just people's weird and extremely specific thoughts, weird scenarios and random funny tweets bouncing into each other. For more thoughts and bits of internet, here are some strange and random bits of Tumblr gold.
