random

Given the amount of time we spend just existing, it's pretty likely that we're bound to see a few unlikely occurrences and rare moments in our lives. But thanks to the fact that there's a lot of us all existing at the same time, doing all sorts of stuff, rare moments and unlikely occurrences happen way more frequently than they feel like they should. And that's kind of cool.

Man, this might get the anxiety flowing for anyone out there that ever did something similar to this as a kid. It's funny and unfortunate that as kids we're all just led along, sometimes down the wrong routes, due to our overwhelming curiosity. The lesson here is obviously to not stare at the sun! And if you have any kids, make sure they're not doing something similar to this! 

Back in the good old days, you could get a random text about a newborn baby and just decide to go support the mom and laugh over the wholesome randomness of it all. Wrong number text exchanges have the tendency to get weird and hilarious, and sometimes an encounter with a total stranger just has some magic in it.

It's extremely rare and extremely stupid, but sometimes money finds its way into people's hands for what seems like no reason. One chance encounter or ill-advised risk can land a very lucky few of us with randomly gotten gains. That said, once people have money, they tend to spend that money on the stupidest things.

At their best, radically random Tumblr gems are like a big crazy thought salad, with specific historical facts and pop culture references mingling with weird photos of animals in strange situations, as well as some surprisingly dark musings on bones for good measure. These totally bizarre and random Tumblr nuggets have no direction and they should be no other way.

Tumblr continues to churn up all kinds of silly, hilarious, strange, and just plain old random thoughts. We love it. It seems to be a wonderful place that reflects how strange us human beings, and all of our thoughts are. And the people that frequent Tumblr share those thoughts with a reckless abandon. So, we're left with steady streams of hilariously bizarre thoughts, fandoms, conspiracies, etc.

Ah, yes, more random Tumblr gems that are timelessly entertaining. We love the random rabbit holes that Tumblr can allow one's mind to fall down, as it gets lost in wild fandoms and other strange observations about life, that'd otherwise go overlooked. Whether it's a hot take on how sci-fi stories from the old times always imagined the "future" being way more advanced than it is; or someone talking about how it's nice to just exist in hotels...Tumblr just gets it done. 

Reddit is never a predictable website. That said, we still get surprises from time to time when Redditors give an unexpected answer. Here are 8 thought-provoking, deep and especially weird answers to fairly normal questions on AskReddit. I mean, can we talk about the lollipops tidbit? What's that about! Anyway, prepare yourself to be surprised, because we sure were. 

Knowledge exists all around us, and we can surprise ourselves with our ability to weave together one piece of knowledge into answering another moment's question. In this case, we're looking at the arts, and the role they've played in various Tumblr users' lives, and being able to use their Arts knowledge to their real world benefits!
