With Father's Day right around the corner Jimmy Fallon decided to start up a Twitter thread that has people sharing the very best and absolute worst advice that they ever received from their dads. Even when the intentions are pure, sometimes the advice ends up being anything but good. Maybe some of these dads were just kidding around. You know, like they could've been telling their own kinds of dad jokes that just ended up completely missing their mark. Speaking of dad jokes, check out these punny dad jokes that outpunned themselves.
Scottish Twitter is a goldmine of raunchy and irreverent comedy gems. There's something so wonderful about the way the Scottish vernacular translates to the traditional medium of Twitter.

Sooner or later, everyone becomes a relic of a bygone era. There's a moment we all have when some new way to play a movie comes out, and we remember the now-obsolete technology when it was new. It happened with VHS tapes and it will somehow happen with all-digital content. It's sort of exciting and sort of scary, but to make ourselves feel safer at the end of the day we can always indulge in powerful images of sensory nostalgia.
So many of us are prone towards telling silly little white lies. It could be the result of just trying to keep things simple by not being completely, brutally honest. Or maybe you find yourself in a customer service gig where you're regularly putting up with all kinds of crazily entitled customers, and the lies are the only thing that keep the job vaguely manageable.

Those poor drones, man. They've got to regularly navigate profoundly treacherous situations. In this case, we get to witness a drone's final, absolutely glorious moments before it reaches its ultimate demise as it sinks into the fiery mouth of an unforgiving volcano.
The world's always going to churn out plenty of fails and other cringe-packed disasters. Every now and again it's nice to take a break from all that noise, and instead turn our attention to a nice wholesome Twitter thread about a movie theatre's favorite customer. It's an old and eccentric man named Eddie. Basically, Eddie sounds like a gem. An absolute gem. Literally such a sweet human being that he's able to make the otherwise arduous task of working at a movie theatre somewhat bearable. That's no small feat.
Every now and again it's nice to take a break from the incessant series of fails that we all share in this life to instead honor some good old-fashioned wholesome love. In this case, we have an epic birthday party that was thrown together by Twitter user @SparkyMularkey's boyfriend. Basically, he threw the Batman-themed birthday party that she always wanted. To say that he put in a full effort wouldn't even do the thing justice. The attention to detail is next level. Way to go, bud.

It's not completely outside the ordinary to see people end up acting like little rascals in response to the airtight confines of strict parenting. There's something hardwired into so many of us that creates a situation where we find ourselves rebelling just for the sake of being defiant. So, you put a kid in an environment where they're regularly being told what they can't do, with little room being left for them to let their wings fly, and you've pretty much got a situation ripe for rule breaking behavior. Naturally, this Twitter thread about how strict parenting can have the capacity for setting kids up for failure later in life, made some waves on Twitter.
It's an emotional rollercoaster of a story like the one that we have here that can really encourage someone to try their hand at a video game that they'd otherwise rain check on. Of course, this is Skyrim that we're talking about. If you've ever played Skyrim before you're probably very familiar with the fact that the game can inspire all kinds of ridiculous nonsense. Those side quests are something else, man.
Seriously, if you ever think you're having a tough morning/afternoon/evening, maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to find some temporary solace in knowing that there's literally a species of bird out there in this wild world that's been named the Go-Away Bird. We're ready for more of these.

The days are long and sometimes we need strength against boredom in the form of tweets and Tumblr gems. The internet is like a Rube Goldberg machine of thoughts bumping into feelings, unleashing new ideas and possibilities. Of course, it almost always produces a dumb and ineffectual result. But hey, that's how it goes with Tumblr gems and tweets.
People live to talk about Lord of The Rings, be it discussions on Boromir's death, or this tumblr thread on Elvish dialects. Ever watch the Lord of The Rings Trilogy and think "I wonder if Gimli is a bad boyfriend?" Well let there be less ambiguity about those thoughts with this handy guide. Like real life, everyone has their quirks. Basically the only thing to keep in mind is "never Denethor. Never ever Denethor. Don't you ever." For another flight of fancy into the absurd details of a fictional universe, here's how Star Wars characters would take their coffee.
There is actually a legitimate medical reason for giving the vulture its pants, but that is buried under the undeniable spectacle of a bird wearing pants. The concept was all-consuming enough for Chappell Ellison to demand artists renderings of the panted vulture, and what came of it was, well, more vultures in pants. Nice. It's reminiscent of the time people were asked to share their art and draw a duck.
Sometimes, it's fun to revisit the past and appreciate just how strange some of the things were throughout the journey that was muddling through the education system as a young one. This Twitter thread from @melmadara will likely resonate with many folks out there. It might even make you feel far older than you did before. If you want to keep the nostalgia going after this thread, check out some nostalgic snacks from the 90s and 00s.
