There are times when we look at a picture and straight-up have to pause. Our head tilts, eyes squint, and we wonder what in the world happened to lead this cat to get up onto an umbrella. There's no way to know, of course, since sometimes, all that we have is the picture. So, we are left with having to come up with our own story, and stories about these kinds of amazing pictures can never be covered in anything less than 1000 words. 

As animal lovers, these kinds of pictures are our favorites, because there is nothing that we appreciate more than a creativity boost, and these pictures deliver inspiration like nothing else we've seen. And so we made it a mission to find these kinds of pictures every single week and share them with you so that you may enjoy some of that creativity and inspiration as well. 

Mayhaps 2017's not going to be the shit-coated disasterpiece many of us unfortunately, collectively assumed it'd be. But if it is, let the cretins of this fair galaxy like Martin Shrekli quite literally eat shit.

How many of us wash our clothes by hand? Scratch that - how many of us have ever washed our clothes by hand? I'm betting that the answer is close to zero (especially if you're a millennial). Judging by the fact that you're reading this now, you've probably got access to utilities more necessary than the internet, i.e. a washing machine. So what's the big deal? The big deal is that there's a monkey in India that can wash clothes way better than you can. And monkeys don't even wear clothes (well, not naturally). How does that make you feel? 

I think it's fair to say the last thing this kid expected was to come face to face with a very legit Bart Simpson IRL! Obviously older generations will know Nancy Cartwright voiced the iconic Bart Simpson, but clearly there's an unfortunate carryover of that knowledge with the kids nowadays. Can't beat that expression of sheer and unadulterated shock. 

It's truly crazy just how much of an impact one small decision can end up having in the grand scheme of things. Or maybe what we merely conceptualize as being a "small decision" on the surface level, is nothing of the sort. The universe is weird, and likes to keep us on our toes. Maybe that's the inherently fun part about living -- is not knowing what's coming around the corner, and certainly not knowing what a minor move will go on to cause. 

Do you know those times when you catch your pet doing something really weird and just have to snap a picture and send it to your friends? No explanation, no context, just a picture of your black cat staring at your new black cat figurine and having an existential crisis. Yeah, those are some of our favorite moments too.

Week by week, we bring you a whole collection of moments such as these - pictures with no context at all that you know there's a story behind, and that their story could never be covered in anything less that 1000 words. They're funny, cute, inspiring, and totally perfectly timed, and they are the best ones we've seen this week. So, enjoy and may you be inspired.
