water

We've seen stories of big company owners tripping over their own hubris, like this incompetent owner who mistakenly fired a special contractor, and this time there's more math. This guy gives an extremely detailed account of exactly how a whole bunch of water, a valve, and an overly zealous farm owner gave himself the business.

The ol' dihydrogen monoxide gag has been a mainstay of internet culture and beyond for years. The only thing better than that first aha moment of getting it the first time is duping other people with it. This person takes it a step further with their 7th grade class. For some serious teacher cleverness, here's a teacher who used gummy bears to fight the power.

People that have the audacity to invite themselves over, and then refuse to follow the house rules are something else. This insensitive step mom used all the water during a gnarly drought, so a glorious case of petty revenge ensued. Check out another glorious case of pro revenge with this aggressive girlfriend who had the nerve to steal from her ex's bank account.

This person thought they were doing a great job of keeping their succulents alive until they had to be told their thumb wasn't so green after all. Apparently this is a pretty common occurrence? At least it still looks nice. Either way, there are loads of instances where people realize obvious stuff way too late.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this was some brilliant marketing. The company chose to create a slogan for their water bottle that plays on the fact that being alive comes with the inevitability of drinking water. Maybe not as often as we're advised to, but at some point, we're all knocking back some of that tasteless (or is it?) water. So, it'd seem that this water bottle could be for anyone. Unless you don't drink water. If that's the case, I don't understand you, but I respect you. 

A lot of people have a fear of open water, and that fear kinda makes sense. Whether it's the isolation, the exposure to the elements, or the danger of unseen wild animals, it makes sense that people, especially sailors have creepy stories of things that happened at sea.

The world is a big, complicated place. Threats are everywhere, and some are more obvious than others. Who knew some cute seals could be so dangerous? But for the love of god don't ever screw around with an overflowing pot of chili in a newly cleaned car.

His name is Splash and he exists to teach kids about the real threat of Cape Town running out of water. By the look on his face he looks like he's the one responsible.
