Check Out These Absolutely Baffling Design Choices

Are you aware of the Watchmaker argument?

Basically it goes like this: if you were walking along the beach and you found an intricate pocket watch, you wouldn’t assume it had just been formed randomly out of waves and sand or whatever, you’d know that a person had to have designed it. When you look around at the world it looks pretty complicated too, so someone must have designed that as well.

It’s a kind of philosophical argument that can lead to endless debate, but the reason I bring it up here is that while scrolling the cursed images on @uglydesign on Instagram, I see things that clearly had to have been designed by humans, and yet are so baffling that it’s more tempting to believing they WERE some kind of accident?

I don’t know. Scroll on, you’ll see what I mean.

10. The measuring stick

For when you done got tired a’her always claimin’ youse exageratin’.

9. This terrifying bathroom floor

You were probably going for whimsical, but it looks like there’s someone dying in here.

8. This coffin door

“How are the neighbors?”
“Oh, they’re dead quiet.”

7. The whicker toilet

I feel like if I don’t scroll past this fast enough I might see a disaster.

6. This three wheel circus

I don’t know if you’ve got the mechanics of this quite right, friend.

5. This couch with toes

I’m the most uncomfortable I’ve ever been.

4. This sleeping bag sock

And why are you on the kitchen floor? I have so many questions.

3. This seal table

It does not get my seal of approval.

2. This torture bike

Reminds me of that thing from South Park.

1. These extreme steak knives

My god man, how tough are you cooking those things?

I just. I can’t. I won’t. I don’t understand.

Would you actually consider buying any of these? Which ones and why?

Dog Mullets Are In, So Get on Board!

I don’t know what you want from me. I’m just here to deliver the news that we’re giving our dogs mullets now, and there’s nothing you can do about it, so you might as well accept it.

Come to a place of acceptance and then join us all on Instagram with pics of proof and the hashtag #DogMullet. It’s gonna be ok. It’s gonna be fun.

Here, I’ll give you some examples. Here are some dogs with mullets, accompanied by randomly generated lyrics from non-existent rock songs to set the mood.

10. Sadie

“Look him just in the eyes
Wanna grab him by the hair
Wanna hug him and squeeze his tiny fists
Raven hair, raven hair”

9. Ol’ Chuck

“I want to live a life that’s always worth living
I want to fight for country and been country bound
I want to ride and drink and some gin and sharp bros
Just a lost boy and a pretty girl”

8. Darlene

“As our home back then
We watched the stars descend
Yeah, home at night
When the dogs come home”

7. Sammie

“I let down my hair and shine my shoes
I close my eyes and feel the cold
Cold beer in my hand
God gave moses a little beer”

6. Rex

“We got that old tan and tuxedo leather
We got that old tan and tuxedo leather
We got that old tan and tuxedo leather
When the mice and men walked in”

5. Barber-Jo

“Being that she gives so much, he takes for what she gives
Blowing up in the veins of an aching, craving man
Oh my old heart
Oh my old heart”

4. Charlie

“Might just go out to eat, when I hop on the road
Might just go out to eat, when I hop on the road
And sweet nothings
Open mouth closed”

3. Pabst

“I am drinkin, we are dancers
I am drinkin, we are liars
Were in this club
Are you drinkin, babe”

2. Rufus

“I was raised on the right side
Then I spent all night alone
Keep your hopes on the right side baby
Keep your fires on the right side baby”

1. Donny

“Cold summer night
In a cold summer night
Yeah, I turn up before the sundown
Summer swings every month night”

It’s really, truly inspiring.

What haircut should we start trying on dogs next?

She’s the one who always said it’s the thought that counts.

People Are Putting Wigs on Dogs Now Because, Why Not?

I have a quick question for you. If you were to, hypothetically, head over to Instagram and search for the hashtag #dogwig, how many results do you think would pop up?

No cheating. No peeking. Take a guess. A few? Dozens? Hundreds? What if I were to tell you that the answer is *SEVERAL THOUSAND.*

That’s right, thousands of people found a wig, put that wig on their dog, took a picture of that, uploaded it to the internet, and took the time to be sure to add the right tag so that it could be properly found.

That’s just the world we’re living in. That’s just Instagram. And here are some of our favorite dogs that have been found as a result, with names and personalities we’re purely guessing about based on their aesthetic.

10. Mr. Stacks

Always has candy for you. Doesn’t understand why millennials are struggling because he thinks a four bedroom house still costs a dollar.

9. Leslie

Has some hot neighborhood gossip to tell you, if she can get up the nerve.

8. The Barrister

He has served this court for fifty years, and he’ll have none of your nonsense here.

7. Frank

One of the only people who has actually read all the books on his shelves. Doesn’t remember anything in them.

6. His Honor

Order. Order in the court.

5. Zachery

Disappointed by the sales of his latest album, but trying to rebrand that as a “turning point for him.”

4. Ashleigh

Just needs to bum a cigarette off you real quick if that’s alright.

3. Pat

Didn’t realize everyone else at this costume party was going to actually put in so much effort.

2. Cruella

A turncoat for dogs if ever there was one.

1. Margerie

Very happy you took the time to mow her lawn, now just wait right there and she’ll find her checkbook.

I love them all. I love their looks.

Which one is your favorite?

Now is the Time to Embrace the #BookFace Challenge

Hey there. Take a little break from Facebook and enjoy some bookface.

No, I didn’t just have a stroke. At least I don’t think I did. It’s hard to tell since I’ve been scrolling through all these trippy book covers for a while. But I can easily explain:

#BookFace is a thing, or a “challenge” if you want to feel more accomplished, where people on Instagram match themselves up with the people on book covers, and then we all celebrate that instead of reading anything. It’s great fun! Come see!

15. The Governess

She’s here and she means business.

14. Because of You

Because of you I’m laughing pretty hard right now.

13. Leo is a Dog

(The title is in Norwegian. Took me way too long to realize that.)

12. Lady Warhol

Legs that go on for a finite amount of time.

11. Alice

We’re truly through the rabbit hole now.

10. This guy

No idea what the title is but the whole thing is looking suave.

9. Charles Dickens

Just as we all remember him.

8. The Portal of the Fairies

She’s in another world now.

7. Still Alice

A sequel to the one higher in the list?

6. Independent Spirits

You just gotta do you.

5. Food Lover’s Garden

When you just gotta grow yourself something nice.

4. Hello There

This is no specific book. It’s just the book we need.

3. Thanku

No, thank U.

2. Twilight

This is truly beyond the pale.

1. Leaving Paradise

Where are you taking us, though?

And with all the book face out of the way, you can return to Facebook.

But first! What’s your favorite book?

Tell us in the comments.

Dachshunds Went Viral for “Helping” To Save the Suez Canal

I really love a good dog story.

Crusoe the Dachshund is no stranger to the camera.

A spunky little dog who, like many dachshunds, suffers from Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), he and his canine siblings, Oakley and Daphne, are internet-famous across multiple platforms, and where they recently went viral because of one of their adventures.

The three doxxies make lots of videos, which can be found under their Instagram handle @crusoe_dachshund.

The pups often play dress-up in their videos, like this one where they posed as a zebra, a lion, and a monkey for Earth Day this year:

And donned their favorite Star Wars costumes on May the 4th:

These intrepid little dachshunds just like to have a good time, whether it’s filming a makeup tutorial:

Or a mock ad for a jewelry store:

And they are no strangers to the art of the green screen!

So when that massive container ship got stuck in the Suez Canal, blocking more than 400 other vessels for several days, their fans knew just who to call to dig it out.

Originally posted on TikTok, with a slightly longer version available on YouTube, these little diggers did what dachshunds do best.

When he’s not busy posing for the camera, Crusoe also acts as the CEO for the company DoggoRamps, which was founded by his owner Ryan Beauchesne.

According to their website, the company was started when little Crusoe underwent surgery on his back in 2016.

Crusoe loves to spend time with us on the bed and couch, and I still wanted him to be able to do that without always worrying he might jump off.

So, through much trial and error and many iterations, I finally designed the original small dog bed ramp, which I used for Crusoe for a couple years before even bringing it to market.

Nowadays Crusoe is doing just fine. (He did help dig out that container ship after all. Ahem.)

And the ramp that Ryan invented for him has helped over 10,000 other dogs and their families.

How’s that for a good-boy story? Let us know what you think of Crusoe in the comments.
