This quick and entertaining gem from Tumblr highlights some notable moments that anyone might be apt to encounter if they were to take the "great American road trip." The one thing they needed to include was all that empty space. 

This quick and entertaining and temporarily extremely confusing Tumblr post showcases the potential implications of younger generations not being able to communicate clearly, because they spend all their time online. We can't tell if they were intentionally spewing nonsense with that one paragraph, or genuinely being the very thing they were condemning. Hard to tell. 

The life of a barista is a weird one. When every customer you have is someone who hasn't had their first coffee of the day, there's no knowing what kind of people can lumber in. Some take on the challenge and become a barista that's the living definition of chaotic good. Others just stand in awe and watch a 46-year-old woman drink 8 Red Bulls worth of caffeine in a single swig.

That's what's happening at the delightful tumblr Khoi World.

Sometimes, you just need some goodness in your day. Enjoy this wholesome and feel-good stories! 

This fun Tumblr thread escalates quickly after a few folks share their hilarious experiences with befriending some of the hard working, earnest Roombas of the world. It considers what it'd look like if there were a knife-wielding Roomba on board a human starship, and all the kinds of chaos that would inevitably ensue. For some more gold from Tumblr check out this Tumblr thread about how humans are weird, durable space orcs.

This kid's spontaneous decision to pretend that he was blind when faced with a rude Karen in the uncomfortably crammed confines of an elevator, was pure genius. He managed to awaken Karen's buried sense of humanity, and actually get her to calm down. That is no easy task. Wonder if this strategy works on all the angry Karens out there. Check out some more juicy Karen drama with this story about the time that Karen and Karen Jr. tried to cheat the school system, and got outed.

People from everywhere can come together even when they don't know each other, and are down to help complete strangers in need. It's not that hard to make people's day, as evidenced by this Tumblr thread about a chaotic good barista.

There's something just plain old spooky about discovering a hidden staircase or suspect deadbolt that someone at some point in history went out of their way to hide from everyone. In this case, we're encouraged by the fact that those scratch marks apparently indicate this was likely some tomfoolery. For some more gold from the world of Tumblr, check out this Tumblr post about how spiders rule the world's cranberry bogs.

This year (more than ever) it feels like we're struggling to find a smidgen of good news in a fiery garbage pit of tragedy. Every once in a while we get lucky, and today is one of those days. Over a year ago, Tumblr user gallusrostromegalus shared an incredibly wholesome (and incomplete) list of animals their grandfather brought home to their grandma during their 67 year marriage. The list is comprehensive, funny, and reminds us that kindness does exist in the world. 

It's also not the first time that gallustromegalus has gone viral for animal-related content. The hilarious antics of their parents dog, Arwen, caught the attention of many media outlets such as Buzzfeed. They're currently working on a book of family lore, but if you enjoyed this thread (and maybe the one about Arwen), consider donating to their Patreon. You'll receive more heartwarming content, and will be supporting a disabled writer who depends on their creativity to pay the bills.  

There is SO much funny and entertaining content all over the internet which makes it difficult to parse it all down into a cohesive, themed gallery. So how about we don't do that. How about we just throw a bunch of dank memes, funny tweets, and bizarre pics into a big, unwieldy pile. This would be more true to the internet experience, after all. There's one big difference though—we always weed out the bad content.
