If You’re Clumsy, These Tweets Might Look Very Familiar

Watch your step…

Are you clumsy? One of those people who can “trip over air” and humiliate yourself in public?

Don’t feel too bad about it! It happens to a lot of us. And I mean A LOT.

Just yesterday I was walking in a store, wasn’t paying attention and bumped into someone and dropped all the stuff I was holding. Boy, was I red in the face!

Be careful out there!

1. What’s this from?

2. That’s what I’m talking about.

3. Usually something very colorful.

4. You’re very skilled.

5. No need to remind me.

6. Soulmates.

7. You’re in big trouble.

8. This guy doesn’t need to worry about it.

9. No point, really.

10. Stick to the loving.

11. In your sleep.

12. Beware of the stairs.

13. You could do it…maybe…

14. Quite a sight.

15. Time to come clean.

 

Sound off with your own personal tales of humiliation as a result of being clumsy. Let’s keep the laughs rolling!

This Man Nails Why the Cheesecake Factory Is Such a Bizarre Restaurant

Everyone knows that The Cheesecake Factory is one of the weirdest restaurants on the planet. But what, exactly, makes it so strange? The way-too-long menu? The slightly-insane decor?

A design enthusiast wrote a Twitter thread about his take on the matter, which is that The Cheesecake Factory is a “fully immersive ‘postmodern design hellscape’ themed dining experience.” The thread has gone viral, because it’s hilarious yet surprisingly educational.

“From a design perspective that place is fuckin wild and I’ll talk a little bit about why,” Twitter user @MaxKriegerVG began.

First, he starts with some history: the restaurant apparently grew out of a Los Angeles bakery business. In 1992, they brought in hospitality designer Rick McCormack.

That’s when, @MaxKriegerVG says, “shit went off the rails. We’re talking VICTORIAN-EGYPTIAN-ROCOCO OFF THE RAILS.”

There’s the exterior’s weirdly Old World feel, then there’s the interior: “A world of aesthetic chaos that feels like a mix between a Fry’s Electronics, an overgrown Panera, and a laser tag arena. It’s sensational,” @MaxKriegerVG says.

Between the Egyptian columns, the wood paneling, and the glass dividers, the whole space is pretty much a design mess.

There’s also the odd juxtaposition of luxury and cheapness. The water tankards are plastic, as are the wicker chairs and the table. Also, all the “exotic” fake hieroglyphics and whatnot. @MaxKriegerVG calls it “surreal,” and he has a point.

He also points out the menu — excuse us, four menus — which bafflingly include advertisements “for THE RESTAURANT YOU HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN TO DINE AT.”

“After wandering the menu a while, helplessly, you order and the food arrives. It’s good. Not bad, not great, but good,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, the actual cheesecake is very much the afterthought of this restaurant, despite the name.

Point taken — The Cheesecake Factory is a fascinating study in aesthetics, design, and capitalism.

But more importantly, where did this guy learn all this Cheesecake Factory history and how can we sign up for the course?

Buy a Tiny Replica of Your House as a Christmas Ornament This Year

Don’t miss out on this!

Christmas ornaments are often sentimental items that get passed down through a family for years. An Etsy shop has the perfect ornament to add to your family’s collection: a tiny replica of your actual house.

The Etsy shop Forever Figurines is run by Samantha Bravoco of Haverhill, Massachusetts. She hand-designs each custom ornament out of polymer clay and acrylic paint. She bases the designs off of customer’s photos of the house.

Some customers choose to get Christmas ornaments that look like their current homes, while others model them after childhood homes or other sentimental places.

Samantha can even add a ribbon with the address of the house and the dates that it was inhabited. For anyone who has to leave behind a beloved family home after many years, this is a great way to hold onto the place in a sentimental way!

Samantha’s Instagram shows that she truly can recreate any type of house, large or small.

These tiny replicas surely take a lot of skill and patience — the current wait time for each order is three months.

“Everything is custom, handmade and hand-painted so they take time and I can only do so many per day,” Samantha told Today.

Samantha started sculpting in 2015 as a hobby.

“I decided to post some work up on Etsy to see if there was any interest from buyers,” she said. “I was featured on WeddingWire in 2016 for my wedding cake figurines and that got the ball rolling quickly.”

She just started making house ornaments last year, but she’s already completed almost 300 so far. She still sculpts cake figurines and pet figurines, too.

One house ornament is $75 and they’re great as year-round gifts in addition to Christmas.

These People Tweeted Hilarious Observations About Gender Reveal Parties

Oh boy, here we go…

People have burned down acres of land, watched an airplane crash, and literally died, all in the name of finding out whether a friend or family member’s baby will be a boy or a girl.

It’s crazy to think that, just a few decades ago, people had no idea what it was going to be until it came out – and even then, it was a fun surprise to look forward to, but not something to announce to literally anyone who is looking.

These 15 people definitely think there are better ways to spend our time and money…but the parties are decent fodder for jokes, anyway.

15. Time to up your life insurance.

14. It’s important that Dads be left alone to make the same repeated joke.

13. Treat it like a bachelorette party and there had better be booze.

12. On today’s episode of “Yes, Words Matter…”

11. Kids get everything without trying.

10. We’re definitely just there for the food.

9. Are you really sorry, though?

8. Memories that will last a lifetime, to be sure.

7. You don’t hear the word ‘shindig’ enough if you ask me.

6. Because that would be something interesting to see.

5. And delicious party food, you’re welcome.

4. Imagine that!

3. If it quacks…

2. If it’s not too much to ask…

1. These people did not mean to get famous this way.

I’ll take the ultrasounds for diagnostic purposes but it would be awesome if doctors would just put a stop to all of this nonsense by refusing to hand over the gender before birth.

If you can read an ultrasound, you can find out. Otherwise – wait until the day to unwrap your present, Kaitlyn!

?Abu Simbel, site of two temples built by the Egyptian king Ramses II (reigned 1279–13 BCE), now located in Aswān muḥāfaẓah (governorate), southern Egypt. In ancient times the area was at the southern frontier of pharaonic Egypt, facing Nubia. The four colossal statues of Ramses in front of the main temple are spectacular examples of ancient Egyptian art. By means of a complex engineering feat in the 1960s, the temples were salvaged from the rising waters of the Nile River caused by erection of the Aswan High Dam. Photo ? by: @alexinavannes .

2. Kalahari Desert, Botswana

View this post on Instagram

The Kalahari Desert is a large semi-arid sandy savannah in Southern Africa. One of the most interesting Kalahari Desert facts is that it is not a desert in the strictest sense of the word, as it receives too much rainfall – between 5 and 10 inches annually. However any rain filters rapidly through the vast expanses of sand, leaving nothing on the surface, turning the Kalahari into the "thirstland". The name “ Kalahari” is derived from the Tswana word Kgala, meaning "the great thirst", or Kgalagadi, meaning "a waterless place". . . ? @beautifuldestinations ? #Kalahari #kalaharidesert . . #botswana #namibia?? #southafrica #visualsofafrica #africantourism #nomadsafaris  #traveladdict #safariadventure #africangeographic  #discoverafrica #iloveafrica #safarilife #africanwildlife  #giraffe #africanroadtrip #bushveld #savanna #southernafrica

Озеро в кратере вулкана Горелый Пожалуй, один из самых доступных вулканов для восхождения. До него достаточно легко добраться – на проходимой машине ехать 4 часа, находится он в 75 км (по прямой дороге) от Петропавловска-Камчатского. Восхождение на него занимает от 3 до 6 часов в зависимости от подготовки путешественника. Высота 1829м, набор высоты по вертикали 900м, уклон пологий 25°. Подъем хоть и затяжной, но весьма лёгкий, осилить его сможет каждый, чтобы самому увидеть эту красоту! ?@victorr_joy
