Police sometimes get overzealous with boasting about underwhelming drug busts, and the savage people of facebook are hardly ever kind to them. People are fond of roasting terribly ancient guns too. This time people had some hard hitting jokes, as well as pretty decent points about the ridiculous nature of this particular bust.

Here's a good reminder that it's good to have a purpose. Whatever it is, whether it's painting, writing stories, or deliberately disrupting your lawn in order to piss off your annoying neighbor, it's the small things in life that really make it enjoyable. Small but effective acts of defiance, like this guy who battled his work tie policy, help us get through the day.
Well, in case you really loved the gender swap filter that hit the internet a while ago, you can use Face App to get a peek into the future. Some celebrities on twitter did the thing, and other people on twitter shared their fears that all of our faces are just going into some database that's designed to steal our privacy.
When people on facebook see something stupid, you can bet they're gonna call it out over and over again in every way they can think of. We're pretty sure this is becoming a thing, since a suspiciously similar situation happened when the internet roasted this guy's ridiculously old gun back into the last century.
If you're looking for cursed weird crap, look no further than Goodwill. You'll find mannequins with baby heads, Shrek rectal thermometers (Shrektal?), and signed crap from celebrities you forgot about. There's no end to the strange stuff you'll find in the average stack of junk. For more, here are some fantastically weird thrift store finds that will leave you with questions.
Back when a kid could just walk around the woods alone all day. Back when you could give a baby a beer and a bottle rocket. Back when a child's car seat was pretty much just a mobile iron murder cage. Has parenting gotten safer and more responsible or just less fun? Little of column A, little of column B.
If you experienced childhood somewhere around the turn of the century, then quite a few of of these pictures might hit you right in the memory nads. Remember back when you had to drive to a store to rent videos? Wild. If you want more '90s nostalgia, then check these out.
There aren't many things about the past that need to come back. The Plague, as a safe example. Sometimes certain sayings are lost just because they aren't relevant to everyday life, or they refer to some person or story that isn't popular anymore. Some sayings are lost before they get to live out their full potential, and these ones look like they've still got some juice in em. Some popular sayings are total bastardizations of their original meanings, this tumblr thread explains.
As technology surrounds us in its cold, lifeless iron grip, more and more old people are having to come to terms with social media as a part of daily life. They have, by no means mastered it. The people over at r/oldpeoplefacebook are committed to documenting this process, as well as the foibles that come with it.
Throughout history, people have been afraid of new developments, usually leaning on the idea that it will make you lazy, rot your brain or corrupt the youth. Socrates was famously against the written word because he thought writing things down would ruin people's memory and make them dumb. This askreddit thread asked older people who the "I don't use computers" people of their time were, and the results were incredible. For one reason or another, there have been people who reject new technology that has since become commonplace, and frankly weird to not have.
Thrift stores serve as a sort of receptacle for unwanted and out-of-date culture that still might have some value to someone. You could find a cool single-issue comic book or even a pile of dentures! Anyway here's some of the weirdest stuff people could get their hands on.

We know the first thing you're gonna say and don't worry, he's fine. The channel says "Don is okay and had a good laugh at this video a few days later when we showed him." So there you go. That said, this is sort of a testament to how realistic VR can feel. That or how poorly a demo team can screw up preparing someone for VR. Arguments for both.
Whether or not this weird flex started off as a joke, the internet descended upon it with the ferocity of a thousand smug roast masters. If there's at least one thing that you can have faith in, it's the ability of the general public to hilariously tear something apart.
