A little bit of fandom-inspired baby naming has caused a rift in this friend group. In the past, some parents would test out potential baby names by yelling them out the front door a few times. (Parents used to call their kids home for dinner while the kids were out in the neighborhood playing with friends). If you felt weird shouting the name out the door, you'd know that wasn't the right moniker for your baby. The modern-day equivalent might include a few more stop-gaps. You should absolutely…

All good things come to those who wait, even if what you're waiting for is epic payback on your middle school ex-friend. This kid ("Derek") spammed this Redditor's flip phone back when he had a limited data plan and was unable to block numbers. It was Derek's vengeance after an argument, knowing it would cost OP money. OP initially wanted Derek to pay him back for those $40, which at the time felt like a ton of money to him. His parents told OP to let it go. Unfortunately, the art of letting go…

There are times in your life when a story or a work of art will speak to you in volumes that exceed the bounds of the original creation. Whatever the reason, the place, or the time, that thing stuck with you—maybe it filled a void in your life, or maybe the story, music, or something more abstract resonated with you at that particular moment, or maybe it was a means to connect with people in a way that might not have otherwise been possible.

Kids love Pokemon. The idea of training a powerful imaginary creature that equal parts lethal as they are adorable is intoxicating. As we grow up, the nostalgic element of the Poke-franchise evolves into a monetized machine. One Pokemon lover and volunteer childcare worker recently discovered exactly how tainted Pokemon trade can become when folks lose sight of the original pleasures of the game (ie: when Karens get involved).

People will make up anything and jump over any number of mental hurdles to displace their own unhappiness onto someone else. This thread was shared to Reddit's aptly named r/F**kYouKaren subreddit and featured screen grabs of a Google review that had been posted on a local game shop's page. In the review, the reviewer accuses the shop owner of weighing packs in order to determine which ones contain rarer cards to keep for themselves, putting out the lighter packs to sell to customers. As commen…

This YouTuber friend destroyed an $8000 Pokemon card collection as a "prank" for his channel, now, the owner of the collection is wondering what on earth he should do. Readers have urged the poster to notify the police and file charges for damages, but that still won't return or replace the treasured collection. This thread was posted to r/TIFU (Today I F-ed Up) by Reddit user u/Ok-Watch8193, who shared a thread with the title “TIFU By letting my friend who likes to prank people in my house. Wh…

Ash, do you even lift, bro?

Tumblr back at it again doing what it does best.

Well done, sir.

Ash definitely lifts.

This is important for some of us, okay?

What a time to be alive.

Just plain old wow.

Such pain, so wow.

So much nostalgia.

Huh, they really just look like colorful animals now.
