Check Out Some of the Dumbest Roommate Moves Ever

Here’s a true story…

A few days ago I moved into my own place for the first time in my entire life. I don’t wanna say how old I am, but suffice it to mention that I’m…older than the average person is when striking out without a roommate for the first time in their lives.

I’ve shared lots of different places with lots of different people. Some of them are perfectly pleasant, others are awful, most are somewhere in between.

But rarely do any hold a candle to the outrageous crap perpetrated by the people being complained about in these Reddit posts.

10. Off the cup

What kind of awful monster…

My roommate ate all of the peanut butter cups off of the cupcakes that were made from mildlyinfuriating

9. The juice is loose

A fool and his money are soon partied.

My roommate spent her paycheck too fast again, so I offered to get us liquor. It devolved into this from ChoosingBeggars

8. Pot heads

If that ain’t the most inefficient, inconvenient thing I’ve ever seen…

My roommate and I own only two pots. When he cooks with them, he stores any leftovers from his cooking in the fridge in the pots, instead of putting them in containers. from mildlyinfuriating

7. On the tube

On top of that, he rolLED IT THE WRONG WAY.

My roommate has hit new peaks of laziness from mildlyinfuriating

6. Divide and conquer

This is the sort of conversation that might be reasonable in, say, a marriage, but a roommate situation? Nah, man.

Facebook CB wants roommate to pay more rent because she makes more from ChoosingBeggars

5. Self-contained

Just wait ’till he tried to heat those tots up in the microwave.

My roommate doesn’t put his leftovers in containers either. from mildlyinfuriating

4. Hair today, gone tomorrow

Um…why are they so short and curly…

The soap bar is mine, but the hair is not. My roommate better come home bald, or else I’ll have to move from mildlyinfuriating

3. Share the wealth

I’m gonna guess this is in NYC.

Live away roommate from ChoosingBeggars

2. Control freak

Remotes are like $10 brand new, I think you’ll be fine.

My girlfriends roommate refuses to take her TV remote out of the packaging to preserve the "value" of the TV. from mildlyinfuriating

1. Getting panned

Well, now it’s just a war of the wills.

we love shitty roommates from mildlyinfuriating

Love ’em or hate ’em, most of us have to have roommates at some point, because, yanno, the economy was handed to us in ruins. So you might as well learn to laugh about ’em!

What’s the worst roommate story you’ve got?

Which Parts of Science Can We Lick? Let Us Explain…

More people out there are being encouraged these days to get an education/job in what’s called a STEM field (“Stem” here stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.)

STEM is basically the stuff that helps us know more things about the universe, and build stuff. It’s fascinating, and it’s hard work, but it can be very rewarding.

But before diving into one of these areas, people understandable have questions.

Questions like, “What are my job prospects in this field? What do they pay? What’s the day-to-day really entail? And most importantly, can I lick it?”

The last question is the one that the people of Tumblr decided to rally together and answer. Here’s what your future of licking things might look like if you choose to study the following topics:

1. The genome

2. Chemicals

3. Human history

4. Rocks

5. The mind

6. Movement

7. Animals

8. People

9. Reptiles

10. Society

11. Plants

12. Computers

13. Disease

14. Language

15. Design

16. Code

17. The brain

18. Water animals

19. Space

Welp, I’m convinced. Sign me up for all of ’em. I’ve got some licking to do.

Is licking allowed in your line of work?

Tell us why or why not in the comments.

This is How the Butterfly Effect Actually Works

Travis Scott’s song “BUTTERFLY EFFECT” might make for a great title, but it doesn’t offer the best theoretical explanation.

That’s right, the butterfly effect is a real vessel of chaos theory, but it doesn’t entail what you might think.

Image Credit: howstuffworks

The idea suggests that seemingly insignificant events can eventually lead to much more impactful consequences. For example, something as small as a butterfly flapping its wings in Russia might lead to a catastrophic tornado in Kansas – hence the theory’s name.

So, Travis Scott song actually gets the butterfly effect completely wrong. Scott seems to insist “For this life, I cannot change,” but the entire theory is based on constant change.

The theory was actually developed in the 1960s by meteorology professor Edward Lorenz while he was teaching at MIT. Lorenz created a model that showed how two points near each other could end up with vastly different weather conditions within hours.

Previously, meteorologists believed that weather could be predicted by looking at historical records. Lorenz’s discovery proved that it was essentially impossible to predict weather in this way. His model showed that there were too many variables to rely on past data.

Therefore, our common understanding of the butterfly effect is skewed.

Though we might think that the theory means small changes can lead to big results, in actuality, Lorenz’s theory insists that tracking these changes and their effects is impossible. The reach of the butterfly effect spans far beyond weather; it also touches upon when you get your groceries, the people you make small talk with, or even what route you decide to take to work. Every small action we do has the potential to change our lives.

However, we have no way of knowing which choices caused what changes.

We’re basically moving through one giant ripple effect that we can’t even see.

Image Credit: Wikimedia Commons

So, it looks like we have even less control over our lives than we thought! That’s so horrifying that I want to forget that I ever learned it. T

ime to obsessively repress that information while we all get on with the rest of our day! Or maybe we’ll dwell on it and spiral.

What’s your experience with the butterfly effect?

These People Went to Great Lengths to Get the Perfect Shot

I’ve worked on film sets and I know probably better than most people that every cool image you see had a lot of work put into making it happen.

Often that work is not at all glamorous. Sometimes it’s downright weird, or even demeaning. Occasionally it’s dangerous. You very much enter a mindset of “hey, whatever gets the job done” and you just start grabbing anything you can that might be helpful.

If you’re working without budget (and without permission) things can get especially strange. And that’s never more evident than in the world of amatuer photogs trying to bolster their social media presence.

10. Look at these two

That’s a public street, yo.

9. Leaf me alone

I’m actually very curious to see how that shot turned out.

8. Sidewalk saunter

Nobody’s gonna be looking, right?

7. Swing and a miss

Or, hit, as the case may be.

6. Honest Abe

Not really the place, honey.

5. Irony alert

Everybody huddle together now, we don’t want to miss catching this.

4. Seize your opening

“Sir you’re really supposed to wear a shirt in here.”

3. A bridge too far

This is gonna be quite a story for the memorial service.

2. Winds of change

When nature just won’t do her part.

1. Through the roof

Meanwhile I’m getting tickets for rolling to a stop at the sign.

I understand the need to get the shot, but for the love of God, be careful, and be considerate.

What’s the greatest length you’ve gone to in order to snap a picture?

Tweets For People Who Are Always Late

I believed that once I started working from home, and most everyone else did too, that things would be better for me in one important way.

Once ALL meetings went to video chat, and all assignments were just pinged back and forth between apartments, I thought to myself “At least I’ll never be late now.”

What a fool I was.

Somehow I have managed to be late for things that have involved nothing more than walking the ten feet from my bedroom to my desk. SOMEHOW I’ve even managed to mess up the timing when I’m already AT my desk and I just forgot to open up the link in time. It’s a sad state of affairs. But I know I’m not alone, because I’ve got a lot of fellow “always lates” on Twitter to commiserate with.

10. Common courtesy

Can’t you see that I’m terrified and full of misdirected rage?

9. Sublime connections

And then you get that rush of a feeling like “Maybe we’ll cancel.”

8. Identity crisis

You can accuse me of many things, but of this my hands are clean.

7. Short sighted

It’s true, that’s just science.

6. Double jeopardy

In for a dime, in for a dollar.

5. Slow your roll

That is a straight up power move right there.

4. Let ’em loose

You’d be shocked how quickly I can get on a high horse.

3. Fool me once, shame on you

Fool me thirty seven times, why are we even still friends?

2. The towel game

This is an ancient ritual which mustn’t be disturbed.

1. Savor it

It’s the little things.

 

I guess there’s just no hope for me and my lateness.

But what about you? Can you actually manage to get places on time? If so, how?

Tell us your secrets in the comments.

Weird Things About Being Over 30

It’s my birthday very soon, and I’m gonna be thirty (mumble mumble) years old. How do I feel about that? I don’t know. I try to tell myself it’s just a number, but then my back pain yells that it’s very much not.

Here are some things about the whole experience that you’ll understand if you’re in the same achy boat.

10. You gotta lower the bar

“Serotonin? In this economy?”

9. You’re outdated

It is absolutely wild to remember a time when it took like three days to pull up a Netflix movie and that felt fast, somehow.

8. You fall hard

I slipped on the ice like a week ago and I’m still paying for it.

7. You get the worst combinations

Am I a child or a vampire? DECIDE, BODY!

6. You’re still a kid inside

Gonna put a bunch of those stars on my ceiling and let ’em fall on my face.

5. You grow apart

Then like four years will go by and you won’t even notice it.

4. You hang WAY over

Just clear the whole day.

3. You’re always cleaning

It just sort of regenerates, somehow.

2. Everything costs way too much

I’ve never purchased any rug larger than a bath mat for exactly this reason.

1. You’re caught in the middle

I know how to use Zoom, but I’m still gonna yell at it.

I may not be super cool with the whole ageing thing, but as many philosophers have pointed out, there ain’t much I can do about it. Might as well just enjoy the insanity!

What’s the strangest thing about being your age?

What Memory From Your Life Would You be OK with Losing?

One of my favorite movies is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

If you’re a Millennial who has ever been artsy and/or angsty at any point in your life, you’ve probably at least seen it. It’s a sort of parable about the pain of remembering the love you lost, but how in the end, it’s really better to remember it all anyway, because that’s how you know you’re alive.

That’s what I was thinking of as I scrolled through this Reddit thread:

The Average human brain is comparable to about 2.5 million gigabites. Your brain has reached near capacity. What do you delete to free up space? from AskReddit

So, Sunshine‘s message aside, what would you delete if you could? Let’s find out what the internet thinks.

1. Reality vs reality.

Memories of reality shows I’ve watched.

All memories of being bullied and picked on as a child.

– MrDoomsday13

2. When you have VERY exclusive tastes.

Everything but fine dining and breathing.

– redguitar530

3. It can get better.

Yeah, I think I can safely delete about 8 years from the late 90’s to about 2006 when I was a drug addict.

That was just a never ending series of cringe that to this day a random (horrible) memory will pop into my head and I get embarrassed/remorseful/horrified all over again.

I have to physically try and make myself stop thinking about it. Of course, the harder I try the more it’s there ¯(ツ)/¯

– sucks2bdoxxed

4. The ultimate burn.

All “yo Momma” jokes so I can make place for yo Momma.

– xlr8inferno

5. The man knows his priorities.

The spank bank is staying everything else can be deleted.

– 11015h4d0wR34lm

6. Cache me if you can.

I’d delete my entire cache of childhood memories up until age 16.

– pokedbyhand

7. Screw education, I guess?

I need to delete all bullsh*t school taught us to make space for memes

– Sharma_boi_18

8. Dude, see a doctor.

Every time I farted, should free up about half

– Sacred42069

9. Choose your own way.

When I was studying for medical school I lost my mental road maps of the town I grew up in.

Wasn’t using them. They got written over.

It was weird when I visited and couldn’t find my way around.

– mapbc

10. To live it all over again…

My memories of the main campaign of some good video games… so that I can play it again, and walk through it like the first time ever.

– LithiumZer0

11. What keeps you up at night?

All of those awkward moments you think of when you’re trying to go to sleep.

– Manu442

12. Spice up your life!

I could probably do without the lyrics to the entire Spice Girls back catalogue.

– MakesTypos

13. This program IS an error.

Anxiety.exe

– James-Avatar

14. Seriously, 100 GB, wtf?

Call of duty warzone, should free up at least half of it

– abzzdev

15. I need a location…

My fear of wicker furniture, my desire to play the trumpet, my tentative plans to purchase a hat, and six years of improv workshops.

– William_Harzia

Not sure what I would erase if given the chance. Would probably consult a therapist about it, have tons of anxiety about the decision, and then just decide to say screw it and go back to bed to remember stuff.

What about you? What would you delete?

Our Parents’ Lives Vs Ours in 10 Handy Memes

It’s not a secret that my generation’s experience has been quite a bit different from that of our parents, but I don’t know if we take the time to fully appreciate that enough. The extent to which we live in different worlds is really astounding, and as with all things borderline unfathomable, it’s truly best expressed with a meme format.

Consider this timeline of contrasting lives, won’t you?

10. The early twenties

You really gotta consider those big life decisions carefully.

9. Moving on up

If they didn’t come here so I could fry things then what was even the point?

8. The food of life

“Let’s have married.” is how I plan on proposing someday.

7. Saving grace

What the crap is retirement?

6. Playing the market

Just roll the dice and kinda hope for the best, I guess.

5. Meme culture

No one can tell me what I need to value most in this life.

4. Role reversal

First of all, I’m baby, so write that down.

3. Vibe check

You can’t be too careful when it comes to relationships.

2. End game

My plans mostly involve which thing I’m going to watch next.

1. Building a family

Soon my battle station will be quite operational.

We may not have been dealt the best hand, but at least we’re good at making memes. And in the end, isn’t that what truly matters?

What’s the biggest difference between you and your parents?
