I know, I know — it often feels like the world is going to hell in a hand basket.
That said, doomscrolling isn’t going to make things any better. There’s still plenty of fun stuff in the world, and taking five minutes to interrupt your doomscrolling to enjoy a few belly laughs isn’t going to hurt matters.
RELATED STORIES
“I asked for extra spicy pad Thai today.”
Serious question: at places like Thai joints where you can customize the spice level to your liking, what are they adding to the dishes to give them that extra kick? I guess it’s just sriracha.
“My daughter roasted me for Father’s Day. I couldn’t be more proud.”
Some parents may get hurt feelings from their kids’ sick burns. But it shouldn’t be this way. They should be proud that they raised someone capable of delivering such sick burns.
“My car thinks the drive thru attendant is a cone.”
If the car thinks this person is a cone, that means this car thinks the person should be avoided if possible, but ultimately it’s no big deal if they’re hit.
“Finally got all the lights on. Took years.”
Getting all the lights in your car to turn on is kind of like getting things to line up on a slot machine. The only difference is that one gives you money, while the other just costs you.
“I came in to the office early and switched as many M and N keys on keyboards as I could. Some might say I’m a monster but others will say nomster.”
This is the kind of diabolical scheme that my frail psyche absolutely could not handle if one of my coworkers did it.
“This is the most perfect photo I took in 7 years as a cat owner.”
Cats vary widely in their ability to pilfer food from humans. Some will take it right out of your hands, while others opt for the ineffectual route.
“Celebrating Christmas with my wife’s family when suddenly…”
Isn’t technology wonderful? Just a few short years ago, you’d need to rely on your own innate sense of annoyance to know that your family was stressing you out. Now, your watch takes all the guesswork out of it.
“I’m 49 ….. Just found this in my mum’s bookcase …..WTF.”
This would definitely be a blow to the ego. But the guy who posted this managed to take a pic, get online, post the pic and write coherent words. He can’t be that stupid.
“Caption my kitties’ reaction to meeting their German Shepherd puppy sister for the first time!”
These kittens are clearly showing a mix of excitement, disgust, and shock. They’re probably saying something along the lines of, “what the heck is this weird-looking cat creature!?”
“‘This is Major Tom to ground control. I’m stepping through the door.’ Meanwhile, ground control:”
Figures. Ground control is never paying as much attention as they should. Of course, if ground control for my space mission was run by a cat, I probably wouldn’t leave the planet.
“My dog isn’t used to me being home during the day and is just staring at me from different places around the house.”
It’s amazing how disconcerted pets can be by a simple change to their routine. Case in point: this total derp.
“My lady friend wanted a piggyback picture on the beach and a random biker watching the sunset said he wanted one too.”
I was always taught to believe in the Golden Rule: if you give one person a piggyback ride, you’re hereby obligated to give anyone else who wants one a piggyback ride.
“Indecision choosing custom plates.”
This is what happens when they ask you what you want on your vanity plates and you hesitate. Alternatively, they saw the bumper sticker and decided to just roll with it.
“Not sure buying that Tesla was a good idea.”
This custom plate and the last one have something in common: they’re both the result of someone not thinking things through well enough. Good luck trying to pay that Tesla off, pal.
“My quarantine birthday is going well.”
Now that many of us have had two quarantine birthdays, I think it’s safe to say that this is getting old. Someday soon, we’ll all get out and socialize…that is, if we remember how to socialize.
“I was tasked with clearing out the crawlspace, but then I found my old slot car track and progress halted. A+ would clean again.”
Slot cars shouldn’t be as fun as they are, but they have some kind of innate draw. I would totally waste all day with this set.
“Outside a bar in Savannah where they’re doing roadwork.”
I guess you can only have customers ask you about the roadwork in front of your bar for so long before you snap. I’m sure people are going to ignore the sign and ask questions anyway, though.
“Giraffe knees look like gorilla faces.”
This is one of those facts that I never needed to know. But now that I do, I’ll never be able to unsee gorilla faces in giraffe knees. Good thing I don’t look at them too often.
“I just faceswapped my dog and my cat.”
The effect here is just too good. I think it’s helped by the fact that both dog and cat have similarly colored coats. The dogfaced cat looks happier than the catfaced dog.
“The sign on my husband’s graphic design department.”
Some folks might look at this and think there’s no way it was made by a graphic designer. Others would be impressed that they managed to fit the entirety of the word ‘department’ on such a small sign.
“I don’t want to know what made this sign necessary.”
They say that sharing is caring, but there are some things you probably shouldn’t share. Like a urinal in a public bathroom. Just go one at a time.
“I needed a tow truck but this is ridiculous.”
I think this picture says it all. A cool truck that happens to have its pun game up to 100. Looks like this Seattle museum has got it going on!
“Thankful to this unknown man for striking a pose and for not messing with my camera set up after he stumbled upon it. Also added, a bobcat using the log just a couple weeks prior.”
If you ever see a trail cam in the woods, don’t move it or disturb it. Just strike a weird pose and know that someone, somewhere will see it.
“Mustard Virus.”
It looks like Heather has fallen victim to what we in the industry like to call a prank. Either that, or there really is a Heinz yellow mustard virus out there (probably not).
“This is my 12 year old nephew doing his homework.”
I want to say that this is weird, but it’s bringing back memories of the weird ways I used to sit when I was around that age. Don’t judge us, we’re only human!
“Monopoly Man in background during Equifax Senate hearing.”
When it comes to rich old men discussing money, the Monopoly Guy — sorry, he’s officially known as Rich Uncle Pennybags —can’t be far behind. After all, they’re talking about breaking up his lucrative railroading monopoly.
“I looked over, and my cat was doing the same thing as the curtain.”
Sometimes, life imitates art. Or is it art imitating life? I don’t know. Long story short, this cat looks like a little bit of a derp.
“Old people versus the giant pizza!”
You can just tell from their faces that they realize they’ve made a huge mistake. That’s far more pizza than two people can eat, and far more pizza than one fridge can hold.
“This guy trying to sell a mirror on Facebook marketplace .”
I appreciate the fact that he got a nice clear picture of the mirror, but did he really need to use his foot to take the picture? How is this better than a hand?
“My daughter always steals printer paper to draw on so for Christmas I wrapped a pack of 500 pages of paper.”
“She started running around screaming with excitement. Easiest present ever.”
May this little girl always have such simple, inexpensive present demands. It makes things so much easier.
