Check Out These Unexpected Discoveries from the Past

Are you ready for a blast from the past? Maybe not YOUR past specifically, but like, *the* past? I know I am.

There’s hardly anything cooler than coming across something from yesteryear that makes you feel like maybe it just fell out of a time portal.

And if you find something like that, you’re pretty much duty-bound to do as these good folks on Reddit did and share it with the rest of us so we can all enjoy.

Thanks fam!

Memes for All the Tired Parents Out There Who Are Trying to Raise Boys

There’s been a lot of push back lately about the phrase “boys will be boys.”

Understandably, when it’s used in defense of inexcusable behavior on the part of men, especially in the realm of assault, etc, then it’s pretty repulsive.

But there’s another sense in which the term gets used – the sense in which I’d always thought of it. And that is that boys are just…kind of insane. Little boys especially. And they’re gonna do weird, goofy, chaotic stuff.

And at a certain point there’s nothing you can do but meme about it.

10. Pay attention

Too laughably doomed little words.

9. A spirited child

Yeah, well, the Devil is a spirit too.

8. Say it proud

Well if he’d have denied it, he’d certainly have supplied it.
That is the law.

7. Reality sets in

6. Walking away

This kid is going places, and we all need to stay far away from wherever those places are.

5. Just a second

Seriously, I just had to poop real quick, what did y’all do?

4. No judgement

Whatever gets him to sleep is acceptable.

3. The Lincoln Log Lawyer

Thank you for joining me tonight. Please, have a seat.

2. Drop ’em

Look, we didn’t decide how our bodies work.

Source: The Chive

1. Failed successfully

Yeah, try it again though.

Source: The Chive

I guess boys really will be boys. Since that’s…a tautology and all.

What’s your experience with raising kids?

Memes for Everyone Who Needs a Break from Raising and Parenting Boys

When I was a kid, I was at the house of a couple of my best friends and we had a great idea.

There was this long, fairly steep staircase that went from the kitchen to the basement, see, and also, there was a sled in the garage.

Inpatient for the snows of winter, we grabbed the sled and started taking turns riding it down the stairs and crashing into makeshift piles of pillows to prevent us from hitting the concrete wall.

When discovered and told to stop immediately, I protested, as I hadn’t had enough turns.

Raising boys is wild. Here are some memes to prove it.

10. My craft and your craft

Hey, at least they’re talking to ya.

We can’t know. There’s just no way to know.

10 People Revealed Their Coolest Retro Finds

Every time I enter a thrift store, I have this excited feeling in the back of my mind like I’m going to find a treasure.

I’m not sure what it would be, or what I’m even HOPING it would be, but the thought just starts to overtake me that maybe this time, I’ll discover something that’s gone overlooked or unappreciated, buried in time, that will open up all new joys for me.

So far nothing quite so lofty has happened, but I have found some stuff I enjoy (mostly old electronics I absolutely do not have room for.)

These folks on Reddit, though? They found some strange treasure troves for sure. Let’s have a look.

10. Bottle of cocaine

“WARNING – May be habit forming.” I’d call that the understatement of the century.

This very old bottle of cocaine we found in my pharmacy. from mildlyinteresting

9. An old MP3 player

Believe it or not, something this simple was once a very expensive buy.

Found my old, still working MP3 player with more than 3000 songs of my late teenage years from mildlyinteresting

8. An old fan

Contrary to popular belief, the Pledge of Allegiance had nothing to do with the formation of the United States. It was adopted in the early 20th century, and “under God” wasn’t added until the Red Scare of the 50’s.

Old folding fan without "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance from mildlyinteresting

7. Soviet Cigarettes

Smoke up, comrade.

My mom went to the USSR in 1985 and still has a Soviet pack of cigarettes. from mildlyinteresting

6. Old Sprite

Wait, what were you doing in the ceiling?

This Sprite can I found in the ceiling of an old mall. from mildlyinteresting

5. Original wallpaper

Ok that’s cool as heck. Gonna be a ghost portal, though.

This hole in the wall showing the original wallpaper from 1885 from mildlyinteresting

4. Wall mount fridge

Why did these go away?

Still operational, origional 1957 wall mount refrigerator from mildlyinteresting

3. Old vacuum

Man. That thing sucks.

My mom has two vacuum’s from the same company with nearly a 100 year age difference. from mildlyinteresting

2. Picture perfect

That is STRAIGHT out of an over-written indie flick.

This picture of my parents never actually happened, but two separate photos that fit perfectly together from mildlyinteresting

1. Metal social security card

To be fair, that actually meant something for his generation. For us it’s more like a participant trophy.

My Great-Grandfather’s social security card was made out of metal, not paper from mildlyinteresting

Cool finds all around!

This Scrawny, Maltreated Kitten Found Love and a Forever Home

You’ve heard the story of the ugly duckling that turned into the swan.

But how about the one about the scrawny kitten that turned into a calico?

This little Australian kitten, originally called Lulu, got a second shot at life thanks to a caring foster family.

Image credit: Best Friends Felines

The foster mom, Kiki, told Bored Panda that Lulu had been surrendered by her owner to be euthanized, but rather than putting the malnourished kitten to sleep, the veterinarian called Best Friends Felines, on Queensland’s Gold Coast.

“Lulu was riddled with fleas, loaded with hookworm, totally emaciated, and mostly bald as the babies were so hungry they ate each other’s fur to try and get some nutrition and sustenance into them.”

It’s a heartbreaking story, but thank goodness for Lulu that she was taken to the right vet who knew just what to do for her.

Image credit: Best Friends Felines

Lulu was the only survivor of her litter.

Image credit: Best Friends Felines

Yes, she was a fighter.

“She was tiny but mighty with such a will to fight to live.”

As she recovered at Kiki’s, she immediately stole the foster mom’s heart–and demanded lots of attention, not just because she was sickly and needed lots of TLC.

Image credit: Best Friends Felines

And what a personality!

“She has the biggest personality, boldly confident and super outgoing. She was never ashamed to yell for your attention and demand cuddles! She adored everyone she met, from humans to other cats and dogs.”

As bad off as she was, little Lulu could have been in even worse shape.

On a proper diet, and with the fleas and worms under control, she grew quickly filling out to the proper size that a kitten ought to be.

Once out of “intensive care” at Kiki’s, Lulu moved in with another foster who had a single kitten in similar condition, called Peach.

Image credit: Best Friends Felines

Lulu and Peach immediately became BFFs, each recognizing a kindred spirit when she saw one.

After so much good care and attention, Lulu was healthy enough for adoption, and she went to her forever home with Reece, who renamed her Ciri.

Image credit: Best Friends Felines

Now Ciri is all grown up, a gorgeous calico cat who you would never guess had such a scary start to life.

Isn’t it wonderful, what modern veterinary medicine and a lot of love can do?

Image credit: Best Friends Felines

What do you think of Ciri’s story? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Thanks cat fam!

Public School Experiences That Are Strangely Universal

The public school experience: there’s really nothing like it, thank God. But we all remember it. Or most of us do, anyway, and if you spend a little time online, you’ll probably find that your memories don’t differ significantly from those of everybody else.

The true high school journey was nothing like The Disney Channel promised us it would be. The real journey was…well, it was this stuff.

13. Down and dirty

I can smell this photo and I really don’t want to.

12. The ball

Legends would form around its origins. Cults would be gathered. Civilizations built.

11. Getting it handled

Back in my day you didn’t even have social media to save you, you just died in there.

These Tweets are Snapshots of What Parenting is Really Like

I have absolutely no clue what it’s like to be a parent. Based on my experiences with my nieces, it seems to be mostly blur of screaming and yelling at small people telling them not to scream so much.

Which, don’t get me wrong, sounds amazing, but I think I’m good for now.

At the moment I’d prefer to just read these tweets about parenting rather than jump into the gene pool myself.

10. Get ‘er done

He’s ready for a life of labor far too soon.

9. Selective listening

This is why everybody needs a little distance.

8. Sleep sweet

This is the most effective alarm clock I can imagine.

7. Sweet bliss

Plus maybe you got some fun drugs afterwards?

6. The routine

Bedtime is when kids suddenly realize they have a long list of errands to run.

5. Catherine Obvious

If it’s not obvious to you now, it will be soon enough.

4. Important life lessons

I was homeschooled and yup, this is it.

3. I’ve created a monster

They must know their place, now and forever more.

2. Letting sleeping dogs lie

It’s really best for everyone’s health.

1. That’s the joke

What is this sleep everyone keeps talking about and do you guys sell it in bulk perchance?

So, yeah, nothing in there is making me super excited about the idea of having kid of my own, but, heck, maybe someday. In a year or a century or whatever.

Do you have kids? What’s it really like?

Hit me with the full scoop in the comments, if you would.

Enjoy Some of the Weirdest Wedding Photos Ever to Grace the Internet

I’ve done quite a bit of video production work in the past, and some of that has been creating wedding videos.

When my associates and I would take those projects, we really went above and beyond to stitch together something memorable for the clients. We took special care to customize and ensure a high quality of product.

And you know what? It was a huge waste of time.

Because nobody. Ever. Watches. Their. Wedding video.

For weddings, pictures are still where it’s at. The photos are the things that get revisited, and that last. For better, or, as these Reddit posts demonstrate, for worse.

15. The fund

I’m not even involved in this relationship and I feel the need to run away from it.

Pretty trashy for a wedding from trashy

14. Game is life

I’m gonna say…divorced within a year.

The groom took his laptop to his wedding to play a game on his computer from weddingshaming

13. Mouse in the house

Sometimes I truly understand the criticism that my generation refused to grow up.

And The Cringe Award Goes To… from weddingshaming

12. Concern intensified

This is some serial killer stuff.

These bizarre wedding vowels … from BoneAppleTea

11. Recreation

But which is which?

THE CAKE IS A ‘RECREATION’ OF THE BRIDE ? Do I need to say more? from weddingshaming

10. This bud’s for you

It would ironically be classier AND less expensive to just have a plain colored cake.

My cousins wedding cake… from trashy

9. Then there’s this

I love the fine art disguises.

I’m all for people who go for low-budget weddings, but then there’s this…. from weddingshaming

8. Nope

This is the one big rule of weddings – why do so many people break it?

Thought this was the bride and groom at first – nope. Father and stepmother of the bride, wearing a white-ish, beaded gown with a train. from weddingshaming

7. Drink up

Apparently this is a common thing?

Did Bud Light sponsor the wedding? from trashy

6. Do the math

My favorite part of this is that they made it even crazier with “14 + 2 adults” and “3 + 1 kids” instead of, yanno, “16” and “4.”

Inviting 20 extra people to a wedding from trashy

5. Well, fair

I have no idea how to feel about this.

Someone hosted their wedding today in the welfare office parking lot. from trashy

4. A non-invite

“We don’t like you enough to see you, but you need to like us enough to buy us things.”

We sent you this card so send us money from weddingshaming

3. Party time

Hey, at least it’s in a nice font.

He wore this hat to my friend’s wedding from trashy

2. Nature calls

At that point just designate a tree.

Why has this not been posted here yet? It’s GOLD. from weddingshaming

1. Party poopers

I’m so proud of you.

This was at a wedding from trashy

Memories to last a lifetime.

What was the weirdest wedding you’ve ever been to?

Things About High School That Are Pretty Weird to Look Back On

Do you remember high school?

I guess some of you reading this might actually BE in high school, so forgive the assumption. At this point in my life I’ve forgotten that people that young even exist. For those of us looking back on it, it’s truly a bizarre place. The kind of space where things happen which, out of that context, would never stand up to scrutiny.

But you don’t have to take my word for it. Just listen to these observations, courtesy of the internet.

10. The start time

I woke myself up around 6:00am, regularly, to drive my sister and I to school.
I cannot believe in retrospect that I had this in me.

9. The five minute mile

If I did that today I’d have to take the rest of the day off.

8. The hall passes

Ya gotta get creative when the whole school is completely broke.

7. Square dancing

You may hate this, and it will almost certainly never come in handy, but that doesn’t mean it’s not mandatory.

6. The theatre kids

I was one of these kids and even I was freaked out by us.

5. The fighters

All those hormones with no place to go.

4. The anti-theft

Clever ruse, attaching a calculator to a Nokia.

View post on imgur.com

3. The line

Do it. You just gotta.

View post on imgur.com

2. The bathrooms

Abandon hope all ye who enter here.

Me_irl from me_irl

1. The chairs

I’m gonna go ahead and cast my vote for nay, my butt hurts just looking at this.

Middle school chairs yay or nay from nostalgia

At least we all got an education, right? …right?

What’s the weirdest thing about your school experience?

People Talk About the Things They’re Most Nostalgic About Right Now

It can be easy to fall into the trap of identifying some bygone era as “the good ol’ days.” 

But it’s important to remember that that classification is entirely subjective. Often the times we yearn for seem simpler just because we were younger and had fewer responsibilities – or maybe we just lived in a bit of a bubble.

There’s certainly never been a time when everything was great for everyone. But knowing that doesn’t seem to stop us pining over the little fixtures of our past, because dang it, there’s just something so comforting about them.

15. Look it up!

I myself barely remember this – by the time I was learning how to navigate a library the lookups were mostly computerized.

Who remembers looking through the card catalog to find a book? from nostalgia

14. That’s entertainment

Dust-collecting machines, these bad boys were.

Entertainment cabinets, the click sound it would make after closing from nostalgia

13. Absolute legends

How to build, how to paint, how to read, how to be yourself.

Legends of PBS from nostalgia

12. Some serious dedication

The haphazard stickers all around are a nice touch.

Remade my room from the 90s in a 3D-software, as I remembered it. from nostalgia

11. Take it away, the paper

Practicing cursive on these made you feel so sophisticated.

Elementary School Paper from nostalgia

10. Wild in the sheets

How could you even sleep surrounded by all that excitement?

Visiting home and Mom busts out my sheets from 1986 from nostalgia

9. See deese?

We all nearly died a hundred times trying to flip through these in the passenger seat while driving.

CD Wallets… I know they’re still around, but 90s nostalgia. from nostalgia

8. The glamour of Hollywood

I don’t know if these carpets were meant to distract from stains or just make you dizzy or what.

90’s movie theaters ?? from nostalgia

7. Fancy feasts

Looking this up right now, these little cakes cos like five bucks. Back then they were maybe $2.
Don’t be fooled by the fanciness of ads.

Viennetta, the ice cream that I knew my family couldn’t afford from nostalgia

6. Jonathan Hyde

He can’t hyde from us much longer.

Actor Jonathan Hyde, a staple of fun 90s movies (Pictured: Richie Rich, Jumanji, Titanic, and The Mummy) from nostalgia

5. Fisher Price kids

So fascinating and so boring at the same time.

Fisher Price Farm from nostalgia

4. Master splinter

Looking coozier than ever.

3. Make it a Blockbuster night

I had the pleasure of working there just before they closed down.
*sigh*

I truly miss rental stores from nostalgia

2. Cut the cord

I’m just now realizing how much work it would take to explain this to a Zennial.

Anyone else want to bring back kitchen phones with the 10 ft cord? from nostalgia

1. Animation takeover

It was truly a renaissance.

I miss this Cartoon Network from nostalgia

Maybe those were the good ol’ days after all.
