Of all the things you've seen a Styrofoam box do, this is probably the most lively. This bad boy falls out of the back of a van on the freeway, and it flippity-floops itself right back in there like magic. Two for the price of one baby. Remember to secure your loads, kids.

The eye is as good at identifying things as it is at misidentifying things, hence all these intriguing illusions of strange perspective. A small amount of playing around with the background and foreground of an image, or messing around with light and shadows can easily make one thing look like an impossibly different thing. It doesn't take a lot of skewed perspective to cause a double-take.
Absurd entitled people proliferate through all aspects of life. It could be a boss that wants you to work for free on the weekends, a stranger who wants you to give them your phone for free, or a neighbor who's mad that the cake you baked them wasn't their favorite flavor. Wherever there are people, there are entitled people with ridiculous demands.
A name can be a pretty important thing. It's your first introduction to someone and people with overly obstructive names sometimes want to change them. That's why there can be excessive drama over what someone wants to name their kid, and fears over if it will lead to them getting bullied. In this case a not great father covertly named a baby without permission, and years later it came back to haunt him.
If you've ever worked in retail, been in the service industry, or have walked down the street, you've probably witnessed an infuriating time someone went full Karen. Someone displaying Karen behavior will act entitled, demand to see the manager, lie and scream to get what they want, however trivial it may be. Sometimes it doesn't work, like this time Tech Support called Karen's bluff and deleted her website or this time Karen lied about an eviction and lost in court.
There's taking your job seriously and then there's laying in wait underwater so you can grab ahold of a an illegal fishing line, get reeled in and scare the crap out of poachers. For some other weird history, here's the very fast story of the first soldier to take way too many military grade amphetamines.
Tumblr just loves to go all in on meticulously studying the ins and outs of different movies, shows, video games, etc. It's a place of countless rabbit holes. This one in particular is a great one to fall down. It takes a look at one of the world's most loved and adored video games, Pokémon.
If you needed some more stress in your life, here are some seemingly mundane things that can be more dangerous than you'd expect. It turns out a lot of stuff that you see and do every day is heavy, poisonous, and otherwise surprisingly deadly. For some more bummers, here are not-so-fun facts to feel bad about.
Most of us aren't computer people, but we kind of know that you're not supposed to drill holes in your mouse or hammer anything into your USB port. You don't need to be in IT to know that these moments of Tech Support Gore can be pretty difficult to look at. For more proof that people suck with technology, here are ridiculous requests that IT workers received.
As good as it might feel to declare yourself a genius, call people stupid because they like a different TV show, use overly complicated language incorrectly, and absolutely ruin any joke that comes across your path, people get pretty annoyed by ridiculous individuals who believe they're geniuses. So practice your self-awareness, or you might become an absurd individual who believes they're an utter genius.
Sometimes we don't give people enough credit for how stupid they are all the time, but luckily we have some classic facepalm moments of incompetence to back it up.

What's amazing is that this is about a relationship that's years and years old. The guy must have finally found the free time to send the thing. It's got everything. It's got calls to restore honor, it's got promises of divine punishment, and even the references are cited. He seems to be less interested in the honor part and more into what kind of divine punishment befits the dude. Sometimes relationships ending can lead to some unintended consequences, like the petty things divorced people have done to spite their ex.
For those not in the know, sleep paralysis is a pretty common phenomenon that's found all across the globe. You find yourself sort of in between being asleep and being awake, like you're conscious, but you can't move or speak. An episode of sleep paralysis can be accompanied by hallucinations that look like a face or figure, and that's commonly referred to as a demon or a visitor. It's pretty god damn scary.
