15 Times People Stumbled Onto Very Odd Things in Thrift Stores

I have friends who really like to go to thrift stores, yard sales, and garage sales. I like to go once in a while, but I will say it’s fun sometimes because you will come across all kinds of super weird stuff that you’d otherwise never see in your whole life.

But that’s the excitement of it!

And these folks definitely found a whole lot of weirdness at their local thrift stores. Let’s take a look at these treasures.

Happy hunting!

1. I can picture this right above the mantle.

It’s a good conversation piece.

2. Thanks a lot, God…

Didn’t see that one coming.

3. Just use the record cover as a shopping list.

That’s pretty funny, I must say.

4. Come see our beautiful city!

And take in all it has to offer!

5. That is one fat cat.

But still, a beautiful work of art.

If not, you could learn a lot from it.

You MUST get to the bottom of this.

It’s time to discover the truth.

Put it in your front yard and no one will ever bother you again!

All kinds of weird finds in there!

Hilarious Signs You Might Have Missed on ‘The Simpsons’

I love The Simpsons.

The iconic TV show has been going strong for over 30 years now and it’s showing no signs of slowing down.

And speaking of SIGNS (see what I did there?), one of the many hilarious parts of the show is the various signs you see in episodes of The Simpsons.

Sometimes, you have to look fast so you can spot them, but they’re always looming around Springfield and they are always funny.

Here are 13 great signs from the show.

1. Ahhh, the old nuclear power plant.

You just know that Mr. Burns is always tied up in lawsuits.

2. Throwing some shade at a specific Canadian city.

Sorry, all you Winnipeggers.

3. This one is good.

A very clever play on words.

…And I love it!

No more playing “the blame game.”

I can hear Dr. Hibbert laughing now.

7. Time to get rid of those imaginary friends.

Say goodbye to your childhood.

A trip to the zoo wouldn’t be complete without a sign like this.

9. Which one is worse for Homer?

I’m guessing the second sign.

She’s not one to push the boundaries, even a little bit.

11. Hahaha. Spot-on!

Going pretty deep on this one.

12. Let that one sink in…

I’m sure some folks won’t like this one.

And an accurate one.

A New York Teen Goes Viral on TikTok for Tutoring Math

A high school junior named Alexis Loveraz could be considered a genius in math and sciences. His huge following on TikTok certainly thinks so.

The 16-year-old has been posting videos there for weeks, breaking down algebra, geometry, chemistry and SAT prep questions for his peers. Now, with so many students trying to figure this stuff out while they are continuing their education on-line, his videos are more popular than ever.

He currently has about 331,000 followers and more than 3.4 million likes.

He’s even been called the “TikTok Tutor,” according to CBS New York.

He told the station,

“I was, like, really shocked. Things that they probably forgot like before COVID-19, this is like a refresher of what I’m, like, giving them out.

It’s really cool because they understand it even better the way I’m explaining it to them.”

Many of his viewers tell him they learn more from him than their teachers.

Loveaz  says he posted the tutorials after encouragement from his friends. People all over the world have already discovered his Google Classrooms. Now students from as far away as Australia, Philippines and Singapore gather virtually to study.

Loveraz told Business Insider,

“I think people have to depend on YouTube videos and TikToks to learn even more.”

And, of course, mom Likmilian Hiciano is surprised at her son’s online tutoring success–and very proud.

What do you think of this kid using TikTok to tutor math? Pretty genius or REALLY genius?

There’s really nothing negative about this story. It’s great. Tell us it’s great in the comments. ?

A World War II Vet Who Raised Millions of Dollars for Health Care Workers Receives 135,000 Birthday Cards

Captain Tom Moore is beloved in the UK after he raised £29 million for the country’s National Health Service (NHS). He was shown just how much his dedication was appreciated by the public when he received 135,000 birthday cards for his 100th birthday.

Captain Moore’s fundraiser involved the World War II veteran making 100 laps of his garden as he approached his big day. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with Prime Minister Boris Johnson, expressed their own good wishes and gratitude for the captain’s work.

The original goal of the fundraiser was £1,000 for NHS Charities Together which is an umbrella for charities that aid COVID-19 health care workers and volunteers. Incredibly, his mission went viral and he actually raised close to a whopping £30 million.

The cards for Captain Morgan’s birthday filled the assembly hall of his 16-year old grandson Benjie’s school. Benjie had asked his Bedford School if they would house the cards because the local post office couldn’t handle them all.

Benjie told Sky News:

The volume of cards that have been sent to granddad is just astonishing. So many of the cards are truly heartfelt with thousands from young children who have taken the time to use their artistic talent and write a personal message. It means a lot to granddad as well as us as a family. We are hugely proud of how the nation has taken granddad to its heart. Words can’t express how much I idolise him.

Bedford School used 150 volunteers for 1,750 hours to assemble all the cards so that Captain Moore could see them all. He was overjoyed to find another £60,000 inside the cards to add to his fundraiser.

Captain Moore’s birthday was April 30, and it looks like it was truly an amazing day.

Happy birthday, Captain Moore! We hope you had a great day!

Funny Signs Seen Around Springfield on ‘The Simpsons’

I have a friend who totally dismisses The Simpsons and refuses to watch it because he says “It’s a cartoon…”.

But he watches a ton of reality TV bullshit, so who knows what’s going on in his head…

I’ve tried to explain to him over and over again that The Simpsons is funny (of course), but that it’s also very clever and the show sometimes says a lot about current events and even politics in a very subtle way.

One of the best ways they do this is with the many signs you can see around Springfield during different episodes.

Here are 14 hilarious and clever signs that you might have missed on The Simpsons.

1. Non-stop sprawl.

There’s no stopping it now.

2. Looks like a classy place!

Any motel you can rent by the hour is always pretty nice.

3. And pay and pay and pay.

Does this look like your city?

He’s always expanding outward.

These places are just depressing in general.

But a brilliant sign, nonetheless.

Samuel L. Jackson Made a Foul-Mouthed PSA so People Will Stay Home

Many places around the world have enacted lockdowns and it hasn’t been easy for people to adapt to.

Some people have tried sneaky methods to get out of their homes, like this guy from Spain who dressed up as a T-Rex.

His local police department said about this outing:

“During the state of emergency one person is allowed to take their pets out for a walk in short spurts so they can take care of their needs.

This doesn’t include allowances for people who have a T-Rex complex.”

Needless to say, governments, public health officials, and even celebrities are doing their part to make sure people understand that they need to stay home, unless they meet qualifications that warrant an exception for them.

Samuel L. Jackson decided to be just one of the many voices helping people understand that quarantines aren’t vacations. Staying home can help flatten the curve and make sure that hospitals aren’t overwhelmed with people who are sick.

He went on Jimmy Kimmel, who is also forced to work from home because of the circumstances.

The segment was actually a remix of a previously viral video titled “Go The F*ck to Sleep.”

After a lovely chat with Kimmel, Samuel L. Jackson began reading from a book called “Stay the F*ck at Home.” The expletive-ridden segment was a hit.

Samuel L. Jackson’s reading was part of an effort to fundraise for Feeding America, a charity that works to make sure hungry families and communities are fed.

You can check out the full video below.

What did you think of the reading? Will it be effective in making sure people try to make the best of their quarantine?
