Old people are trying their best on social media, but some are still trying to get the hang of it. Whether it's messaging the Walmart Facebook page some extremely personal information or being real rude about close family members, it's always a party when grandma gets her computer driving gloves on.

Most of us would agree that safety rules are important to follow. But when rules are enforced not on their utility but on the satisfactions of the people getting to abuse them, that's where people get petty. For another story of pettiness, here's a coworker who complained too much about free pizza and encouraged a petty feast.

Tumblr ain't nothing without a writing prompt or two, and this short dragon thing is at least a little nugget of wholesomeness to spend some time on. For a bigger one, here's a tumblr thread on angels and demons bonding over sandwiches. The cogs of Tumblr are always turning out random tumblr gems.

Memes are a sort of ephemeral form of communication. Most of them need some sort of context in order to operate well. As this tumblr thread shows, the further we get from some, understanding them becomes a form of cultural anthropology. These ones still mostly make sense though so it's still pretty funny. For more tumblr stuff, here are some random tumblr gems to tumble through.

As convenient as a greeting card can be, it's a shame they only make them for boiler-plate events like birthdays and holidays.

Tumblr kicks around concepts like nobody's business and this looks totally like a show we'd want to watch. And as it turns out, there actually is a hilarious story that's based on a similar concept.

Puns are one of those things that even though you might hate, you can't really avoid. Try as you might to avoid them and yell at the people who bring them into your life, but someone will always come back with a sackful of puns to spill all over your life. They're both incredibly clever and horribly dumb at the same time.

Tumblr has the tendency to well, tumble. And exactly that happened here. What started as an observation on violets turned into a historical rhyme on the concept of purple, which then turned into some well timed and tastefully executed filth. For more Tumblr color nerdery, here's an explanation of why magenta isn't a real color. And for random fun, here are Tumblr gems to keep the day moving.

With just a little bit of creative or even unintentional camera angles, stuff can start to look like other stuff. Here are some real life optical illusions that might have your brain doing some double takes. So give your eyes a workout and look at some stuff that might not exactly make a whole lot of sense right away.

Sometimes the world is too unpredictable for any regular person to walk around with a full sense of security that things are gonna be done perfectly every time. Sure, it's likely that things turn out okay, but only after some misfortune and chaos like paint spills, gas pumping errors, and a whole lot of mislabeled produce. 

It would be nice to be able to get so comfortable that you look uncomfortable. Seriously, some of these dogs just look like a pile. Dogs sometimes get stuck and need a hand, but these ones seem to be at least someone in control of their creative, and sometimes awkward positions.

This seems like a kinder option than drawing on his face. Who knew there were so many things that you could sleep through on one road trip. For some more photoshop glory, here's a guy who trolled a scammer with his photoshop skills, as well as a boyfriend who also fell asleep in the car and got photoshopped to oblivion.
