Well worn.

Reddit | titaniumLiver

If you've ever wondered what bald tires look like, feast your eyes on this travesty. I wonder when this tire might pop.

I have questions.

It's good that this restaurant has a fire alarm. I'm just not sure how, exactly, anyone will be able to pull it.

Kill them with fire.
