The eye infection that has been plaguing Bob Costas has spread to his other eye; Costas will step down tonight in favor of (hopefully infection-free) Matt Lauer. This is how the internet responded.

In another attempt to break the world record for stupid, many people have tweeted, facebooked, or instagrammed pictures of their debit cards for one reason or another. Their defense? You can't see the PIN or security code!
Okay, let's break this down. For starters, when was the last time you made an online transaction and the seller required your PIN? I'd bet it's somewhere between "not even once" and "never." That leaves us with the three-digit security code on the back. Call me crazy, but 999 potential security code options isn't that many. A dedicated thief could easily figure out your security code in a matter of hours using pure trial and error.
So, in summary, a word to the wise: don't post your debit card numbers online.

If their sauce is as fiery as their comebacks, then they're good to go.
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.

In May of 2012, Tumblr user LeonsBuddyDave made a fake Twitter account with the name "United Airlanes" (as opposed to United AirLINES). He posted a few gag tweets and then left the account alone. Recently, he decided to check up on the account just for kicks and saw that quite a few people had tweeted at the parody account believing it was the real thing.
John Lewis is famous for releasing a touching Christmas advertisement every year. Of course there's another John Lewis who ends up getting all the Tweets that people direct to the department store and he's just a guy living in America. Fortunately he has a great sense of humor about it.

When the world's countless problems wear us down and our faith in humanity starts to erode, it's good to acknowledge and remember the random acts of kindness carried out by our fellow humans throughout the years. Even the tiniest little shows of compassion can affect someone's life in a huge way. These examples of humans being good inspired us to get our heads out of our own asses once and a while and exercise empathy towards others as much as possible. Try not to get a little choked up (we swear we didn't).
