People Share the Absolute Worst Times They’ve Laughed in Public

There are times when everyone in the room laughs. There are times when most people are laughing, and there are times when only a few seem to be in on the joke.

Then, there are times when no one is laughing but you – because you really, really shouldn’t be cracking up.

These 14 people admit the moments those latter types came up in public, and you can judge for yourself just how inappropriate the laughter might have been.

14. What does he expect!

About 2 and a half years ago I was walking down the Main Street in my city and let me tell you, it was about half past boiling degrees. Anyway, as I’m just walking along (and struggling might I add) this guy who would have to have been around 6.9ft lumbers past me in an old Victorian Top hat!

I couldn’t stop myself from letting out a light chuckle (I held back as I didn’t want to be rude). To my surprise, he must have heard me and he turns to me and gives me a big cheeky wink before tipping his hat and running away. I still think about that big fella from time to time.

13. I bet grandma would have loved that sound.

I was very close to my great-grandma growing up. I was at her house often as she babysat me when I was younger. I was 12 when she died. It was the first death of someone I knew and loved. I was devastated.

Fast forward to the funeral. It was only my second funeral and this one I didn’t know how to act because I was grieving. My younger sister and I were tagging around with our uncle, who was 14 and close enough to our age that we were very close growing up. He was trying to keep up distracted and cheered up. So we were a bit squirrelly and our moms kept telling us to calm down.

There was a family member at the funeral going around taking pictures of family. He asked my sister and I to get a picture in front of the casket. I was weirded out but ok. He tells us to look at her with our palms together like we’re praying. I was struck by the absurdity of this and thought, oh I should pretend I’m crying. So I quick duck my face into my head and pretend to sob. I then I realized I was pretending to cry in front of my dead great-grandmother for a picture and for some reason, I thought this was just hilarious and started giggling uncontrollably.

My sister quickly starts giggling. We both succumb to what I’m sure was grief and uncomfortableness combined and we are literally on the floor laughing in front of our great-grandmother’s casket. I have a bad habit of peeing if I laugh too hard and sure enough, I’m trying hard not to wet my tights and laughing and crying. I see my mom and grandma come marching up to us and everyone staring daggers at us.

We got a good talking to about respect and are told to stay in the side room for family until we can compose ourselves. I was so ashamed and it was one of my most embarrassing memories for decades. I’ve finally come to terms with it and can appreciate that my great-grandma would have probably loved that we were laughing at her funeral.

12. Some things never change.

My mother and grandmother met an old acquaintance of hers at the cemetery were my grandpa is buried. There was a new grave of a 14 year-old who had recently passed of Fibrosis (affects the lungs). Said acquaintance goes “How sad, I heard that he died of Phimosis” (not being able to pull back the foreskin).

My mother, aware of the difference and having a record of bursting out laughing in horrible situations, can’t hold herself back, tears in the eyes and almost maniacally laughing. My grandma is very ashamed and infuriated at her daughter for laughing at her acquaintance of many years at the grave of a recently deceased 14 year-old.

Later grandma basically shouted at her for this behavior like she would have 40 years ago.

11. It is a very expressive language.

During my graduation ceremony, I was in the front row. We all got up to sing the school’s anthem. The song was also gestured(?) in sign language.

For some reason I found the person’s gestures really silly and I was barely containing myself from erupting into laughter.

10. I think that happened on Seinfeld once.

The ending of a boy in the striped pajamas. They were showing it at the blood donation place I went to, and at the end of the movie The son of the German running the concentration camp wanders into the camp, and gets sent to the gas chamber.

The irony of it made me giggle, and the dirty looks from all of the old ladies who had also just given blood, and watched the movie made me loss it. I was crying from laughter, and that’s the story of why I am no longer allowed to give blood.

9. Teenagers, right?

I went to a pro-life rally once and they had someone on stage doing sign language while they had someone giving a speech.

Everything was fine until the man said “at the moment of conception” and the person signing held up one hand in front of her in a fist, then with the other hand started wiggling her index finger, moved it across her, and inserted it into her fist, like a sperm swimming to an egg, and my teenager mind absolutely lost it.

8. We all have our crosses to bear.

My wife and I walked around the grocery store one day and when we turned around an isle a 7′ girl all of the sudden was in front of us. We managed to not laugh or stare, barely.

Then a black guy that was approx 15 seconds behind us noticed and loudly yelled “damn you’re tall as hell girl” in a voice only a 40+ black man can make.

We burst and quickly got into another isle. Poor girl. She seemed shy and bothered by being in public. Just because of people like me and my wife.

7. It just comes out of nowhere.

When the polish president died in a plane crash in 2012 (I think) there was a nationwide minute of silence.

For some reason I couldn’t stop laughing, it was like an attack of just laughter because of nothing.

Anyways my family got pissed and took me away to a room where I sat alone in the darkness and laughed for few minutes till my whole core started to hurt

6. Well that’s awkward.

I was brought into a full team meeting (six of us) at a previous job and was told one of my coworkers was fired and I chuckled a bit and smiled. Our team always played jokes/pranks on each other like that.

Turns out she was actually fired for signing her bosses name on time cards. I felt pretty terrible that they were serious. It was a dumb mistake for her to make, but she was a great coworker so I felt bad for even momentarily chuckling at the fact that she had been fired.

5. I’m sure the priest has seen it all.

My younger sister and I were altar serving on Ash Wednesday. We were probably about 13 and 11 years old.

The priest is making the cross on each parishioner’s forehead with ashes and saying “remember, man, that thou art but dust and to dust thou shalt return.”

My 13 year old brain decided to interpret that as “thou art butt dust” and I snorted.

That set my sister off and we were both sitting there laughing our asses off and trying to stifle it as much as possible.

4. So many yikes.

One time at a McDonald’s some kid had a hold of a milkshake and was enjoying the fuck out of it, arms a’flailing and screaming his little head off. Just enjoying life. I thought this was hilarious and tried -and fail- to stifle laughter as this little kid shared his joy over his frosted beverage to the world.

As me and my friends left the restaurant, they informed me the child was very obviously special needs. I laughed at a handicapped kid in public in front of everybody and had no idea how I looked or what I was doing. In hindsight I was surprised I didn’t get punched in the back of the head of it. I felt horrible over it.

3. Everyone loves to see that.

I was working at a McDonald’s cleaning in front next door I saw a guy walking and some guy comes on his bike behind and lays him out with one punch.

2. Sometimes it’s too much to take.

I work in a warehouse and we were in a meeting with all warehouse staff and our Director, Foreman and Supervisor.

The Director stood up and gave the usual flowery B.S. speech I assume most do. He then got to the phrase that I laughed out loud at:

“You are the backbone of this company, and your opinion matters!”

Note: We are the backbone, but they couldn’t give two craps about our opinions, I couldn’t believe he would lie to us so blatantly.

1. “It was fine.”

I was talking to my colleague and I causally asked him how his weekend went.

I was expecting him to say the usual boring stuff like walked the dog etc- instead out of nowhere he says “it was fine, went to my mates funeral” at that moment I burst out laughing in his face uncontrollably, I don’t understand why it made me laugh so much but it was the last thing I expected him to say. I’m a terrible person.

I’m just so glad none of these are my stories.

If you’ve got one that would qualify, though, please share it with us in the comments

People Share the Scientific Facts They Really Wish Weren’t True

Believing in science is important, and when a fact is irrefutable, researched, and peer-reviewed, we should all accept that it’s true.

That doesn’t mean we have to like it, though.

Here are 17 people who have a beef with one scientific fact or another, and their reasons are pretty darn good.

17. We have no idea what’s down there.

The fact that 80% of the ocean is unexplored.

All of that vast ocean… and we have no idea what’s in it.

16. Well that’s terrible.

Pandas often have twins, but usually the mother can only manage to care for one, so the other is abandoned.

Giant panda cubs can’t even open their eyes until they’re 6 weeks old, and can’t move around until they’re 3 months.

Poor little guys.

15. We won’t be around to see it either way.

The universe was theorized to either slam back together after many more billions of years and possibly create a new Big Bang, or just die by expanding away from everything else and getting colder and colder until atom basically stop moving.

I think its called the Big Chill. Guess which one sounds worse. You pick the Big Chill? Well thats the one scientists believe is the one thats gonna happen.

14. The face I am making right now.

Otters are not as nice as the look.

Male otters sometimes hold pups ransom to force their mothers to give up some of their food

They kill for fun, like a bunch of sociopaths,

One of them grabbed a baby harbor seal (with their fangs) and raped it to death.

11 percent of sea otters found dead on the California coast from 1998 to 2001 were killed, at least in part, by trauma associated with mating.

Also, they are necrophiles.

13. Makes you feel safe, doesn’t it.

Carbon fiber is extremely strong, but only when forces are applied in the direction of the fibers. If you apply the force perpendicular to the fibers, a carbon fiber will split easily.

So you either have to figure out where the forces will be and position the fibers of a carbon fiber part in that direction or settle for a sometimes weaker metal part, which can withstand forces in all directions.

12. Females always getting the short end of the stick.

Felines (and some other animals) have barbed penises which make intercourse extremely painful for females. Females will even try to escape because it causes so much pain.

Unfortunately the spikes are necessary to stimulate ovulation, so it’s unavoidable for reproduction.

11. It’s simple math.

Bigger people, be it taller or fatter are more likely to develop cancer than someone smaller. If anyone doesn’t know what cancer actually is it’s what happens when a cell divides incorrectly and it begins to reproduce at very high speeds.

The more cells someone has the more likely they are to develop cancer. This is not taking any exposure to a substance that can cause cancer into consideration.

10. I would very much never like to find out.

That you can get a blockage in your bowels and die crapping out of your mouth.

9. We so want it to be possible.

That nothing can go faster than the speed of light. I sucks because it make space exploration like in SciFi impossible. And yes I know that there might be ways around it or stuff like wormholes but right now they aren’t really possible.

There is tons of cool stuff we might be able to do in the future. Send seed ships to other solar system. Make generation ship to closer ones. Colonise and terraforming the solar system. Make drone exploration ship.

But actually go from system to system like in star wars, star trek and a million other show. Not an option and might very well never be.

8. We should be more careful.

Materials that are really useful, but extremely harmful.

Asbestos is an amazing material, if it didn’t cause cancer then freakin everything should be made of it. Lightweight, strong for its density, entirely fireproof, and extremely carcinogenic.

Lead paint and leaded gasoline is just plain better, real shame lead is so poisonous because otherwise you’d never want to use the lead-free versions of those things.

Carbon nanotubes, while not something that currently has practical application, probably never will because like asbestos they cause cancer. It is outstanding what that stuff is capable of, but breathing in broken material will absolutely give you cancer.

I’m sure there are some others I’m forgetting.

7. There are ways to deal with it.

Trauma stays with you for the rest of your life.

There are ways to help overcome it but it never truly leaves and will always keep affecting you to a degree.

6. That sounds unpleasant for all involved.

Animals, like Hamsters, have more babies then their bodies (nipples) can feed.

In order to save the others from competing with each other, the mother will eat any additional young, alive.

5. Really? That’s the thing?

Friction does not depend on surface area but instead on normal force on that surface and friction coefficient.

Drives me mad. If I could ask god one thing it’d be to change this.

4. Not-so-fun facts.

“Increasing number of people are unknowingly spreading HIV because they don’t get regular STI check ups”

– Doctors when I get STI check ups.

3. That sounds terrible.

There have been only 3 people who had died out of the earth.

They were the crew of the Soyuz 11. There have been recorded details about the mission, mostly graphic.

You know something was very serious when even the USSR doesn’t even bother covering it.

Yep, even the USA learned about it the second they heard about it.

2. But only if you’re not blind.

That being blind is akin to trying to watch the back of your head, you simply can’t, blind people don’t see black, they literally see nothing.

It’s a terrifying thought.

1. This really is the worst.

Things that taste good are bad for you.

In 1948, the Framingham Heart Study enrolled more than 5,000 residents of Framingham, Massachusetts, to participate in a long-term study of risk factors for heart disease. (Very long term—the study is now enrolling the grandchildren of the original volunteers.)

It and subsequent ambitious and painstaking epidemiological studies have shown that one’s risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, certain kinds of cancer and other health problems increases in a dose-dependent manner upon exposure to delicious food.

Steak, salty French fries, eggs Benedict, triple-fudge brownies with whipped cream—turns out they’re killers. Sure, some tasty things are healthy—blueberries, snow peas, nuts and maybe even (oh, please) red wine.

But on balance, human taste preferences evolved during times of scarcity, when it made sense for our hunter-gatherer ancestors to gorge on as much salt and fat and sugar as possible. In the age of Hostess pies and sedentary lifestyles, those cravings aren’t so adaptive.

Me? Why can’t time travel actually work? I have things to do.

What would you add to this list? Let us know in the comments!

People Recall the Moment They Realized They Were in Too Deep

If there are some truly bad moments in yourlife, it’s the ones where you realize, without a doubt, that you are in big, big trouble and can’t see a way out of it.

Maybe you could make the argument that these moments aren’t necessarily bad, if you’re talking about falling in love or something, but I don’t know.

18. That’s quite a moment.

The time I was invited by a friend to a “Halloween House Party”

Turns out it was more of a gay/trans “Eyes Wide Shut” type get together that took place in this bizarre mansion. Everyone was in these erotic costumes drinking out of cocktail glasses and I was dressed as Elvis drinking Coors Light.

I knew I was in too deep when within about 8 minutes of arriving I went to get a beer from the kitchen and there was some Freddy Mercury lookin mother f*cker standing there wearing nothing but a spiked collar and a co*k ring on his monster dong.

17. It’s called rock bottom.

I got into shooting heroin in my early 20s. I always knew it would end bad.

But I really didn’t feel “too deep” until I was cuffed and crammed in the back of a police paddy wagon for robbing a convenience store.

I spent three (deserved) years in prison and every day was the definition of “oh man, I really f*cked up here, this sh%t is crazy”

16. Sounds like a fun story.

when i realized i was in a throuple not a friend group.

15. Wow that’s a trip.

I got a PS2 and even though I was over 50 at the time I really got into the Grand Theft Auto games.

I played them so much I ended up straining the ligaments in my wrists and needing steroid shots at the bases of my thumbs.

I couldn’t even hold my toothbrush without great pain.

In the end I had to give the console and games to my grandchildren (not the GTA games) and my thumbs have pretty much been fine ever since, but I really do miss playing video games.

14. This could have been so much worse.

When I was 16 I had a brief online relationship with a 13 year old guy.

We were originally just friends, but he kept dropping little hints that he liked me, and I was so blinded by the desire to be in a relationship (I had never dated anyone before) that I started dating him even though I didn’t even like him in that way.

I didn’t realize how wrong it was until we started exchanging… not really nudes, but very nsfw images of each other. I had a realization of like “I’m 16, why am I dating someone so much younger than me”, and I broke up with him.

We’re still friends today and I’ve apologized to him, and he said it’s totally fine and I don’t need to feel bad about it.

I’m just glad I ended the relationship before things got anymore out of hand.

13. Time to check your diet.

When I went to the doctor with unexplained lower back problems and they told me my liver was being damaged by the high sugar diet I was on and that I was on the verge of having diabetes.

Changed my lifestyle that day.

12. You can be addicted to anything.

I checked and I have 754 days played on Ark Survival Evolved for Xbox, that’s like if you sat on the couch for 2 years straight and played a video game, then I realized that’s not like wasting 2 years of your life on a game it IS wasting 2 years of your life on a game like let me really emphasize here.

I’m not saying I’ve played this game for 2 years like that much time passed since I began, I mean I’ve actually played that many hours over the course of about 5 years.

Omg it’s mind boggling. Straight up gaming addiction.

I have severe anxiety and the game distracts me from it, but it’s now it’s own problem too. I’m def too deep.

11. That’s a bad moment.

When my ex-gf tried to cut me off from my family.

Like “Oh this is abuse isn’t it?”

10. The Simpson’s knows…

Anytime I catch myself thinking of The Simpson’s Ralph sitting on the school bus chuckling and saying “I’m in danger”.

So good.

9. That was a close one.

About ten years ago, a friend and I dropped another friend at an illegal poker game. We were frisked by a guy with two huge guns (holstered, I don’t know guns, they were hand guns), and then had to go through a metal detector. There were two other armed guards with large handguns standing near the table, and yet another super large bouncer type guy sitting down reading a newspaper. So 4, huge, armed dudes. And then a motley crew of players sitting around this table way in the back.

As we enter, the room lights up and everyone is like BOBBY AYEEE and our friend is like, the most beloved dude in the room, and the tension is ok.

He goes off to the table and my other friend and I go over to the bar where a…super coked up? Woman comes over and offers us drinks. We go to pay and the big guy sitting down comes over and gently takes my wallet out of my hand and puts it in my breast pocket like “no, that would be illegal, we don’t have a liquor license.” With a look like “hey, it’s free, just drink free…also I can kill you.”

So…we drink. And then at some point there is an argument between the women / bartender and the same guy slaps the fuck out of her at which point were like “uhhhh we need to gtfo of here” and it was pretty tense just abruptly leaving, and these dudes were like, really skeptical of us “suddenly having to leave.” It was exactly like a movie. Our friend was like nah nah they do really have to go, I’ll take a cab home.

We later found out all / most of those dudes were off duty cops and the building was owned by some old mob guy.

This was Philly. It all checks out.

8. That’s too much for a kid to handle.

I tried to make friends with the quiet kid that was bullied, because I felt bad for her. It worked. She seemed super nice until I realized that she wanted to shoot up her school and her home.

I had to go behind her back and tell my mom and the teacher, but no one would do anything because no one believed me. I was afraid that she’d find out and that I’d get off her good side, and she’d kill me. I begged them in tears to call the police, but no one did. I was the only one keeping her at relaxed.when she got angry.

This was 8th grade. I’m a senior in high school, now. I left the school years ago, but, last I heard, she got counseling, and is “doing well”. Not sure how true that is.

7. The road to recovery starts somewhere.

When I stopped drinking because of a stomach bug and ended up in the ICU from the dt’s.

Yeah, it can happen.

I needed help.

6. Big red flag.

Anytime I start trying to rationalize what I’m doing via the sunk cost fallacy.

Immediate time to reassess what I’m doing.

5. A watershed moment.

In a domestic violence situation, there are so many moments that you can see and sort through in retrospect. The “moment” where my brain said “you need to find a fucking way out of this” happened shortly after we had been married. My family was in Vegas, so we went to join for a couple days. I can/could drink, but that week I was just not into it— like when even one drink makes you sleepy. He was irate and annoyed at this. I didn’t insist on him staying with me all day- I was just going to rest.

He eventually left to go drink and gamble, but ultimately came back after about an hour, and crawled into bed with me. I was groggy and half asleep. He then started grinding against me trying to have sex. I said no, Im really not feeling good. I probably even said “sorry” but I don’t remember. I rolled over, and he kicked me as hard as he could in the center of my back. I fell off the bed, terrified. “You are a f*cking bitch, and you are making this up. You are fine.” I slowly got up and he grabbed me and began raping me. I left my body. I had to pretend I liked it so I did my best. But my body was not my own.

At that point, I knew I had to get out.

4. Jail seems to sober people up.

Got cheated on in a marriage that should have never happened. Young and dumb. I relieved the pain by drinking with friends, which turned into drugs and drinking 24/7, in only a matter of a few months….totally life consuming.

I lost everything, ended up with 2 DUIS in a 6 month span and spent 6 months in jail because of them. I was using cocaine daily, MDMA, alcohol, weed, Xanax and whatever else I could find.

The worst part is how I didn’t even realize how deep I was in, till I was locked up, and watched everything I had be thrown away (new truck, job, apartment, respect) and couldnt do a damn thing about it. All because I couldn’t stand dealing with the pain of what happened. Jail pretty much got me clean, I’m glad it happened.

I’m 3 years sober right now. Still digging my way out of this mess. Trying to get a normal life back. Will never touch another substance. I have likely permanent head issues now, because of all that drug use in such a short period of time.

3. When you stop kidding yourself.

When I realized I wasn’t just bloated and my stomach was actually that big .

2. This is funny.

A few years back two friends and I accidentally got into a season wrap up party for TV show Made in Chelsea.

We had to pretend all night we were producers from Channel 4.

Fortunately I didn’t watch the show, so was easy to lie. Brilliant fun, and an open bar!

1. George Costanza?

Went camping with a group of friends, told them i was night blind as a prank. One of them tripped over and tore a ligament while guiding me.

Started researching night blindness behaviours to make it seem permanently real from here and that’s when i knew i was in too deep.

No one likes to be in over their head. It’s hard to breathe that way!

These People Admitted to Believing Some Pretty Silly Lies

Kids will believe pretty much anything. Add that to the fact that a lot of parents enjoy hoodwinking us for fun, and well, most of us can recall believing some pretty silly stuff during childhood.

That said, sometimes our parents sort of forget to tell us the truth, or assume we’ve learned it ourselves, and we believe those things for way too long – these 16 people are willing to admit to just that, for the laughs.

16. I guess undercover work is in trouble, then.

That if you ask someone if they’re a police officer, they have to tell you the truth.

There are still people who believe this. Whoever started this urban legend is a genius.

15. I don’t know when I realized they were real.

That reindeer wasn’t an actual animal but specifically a mythical animal that Santa Claus used.

I believed this until I was 23 or so when I saw some nature documentary talking about reindeer. I was like.. whaaaaaaaaat?

14. Sometimes we just want to believe.

My dog went to a farm… Until I was 35.

13. That is very elaborate.

When I was a kid I used to think professional wrestling was real, and The Undertaker scared the living shit out of me during his whole Ministry of Darkness phase. I thought he actually was Satan’s minister or something.

Like yeah, he’s an undead overlord of hell, here to bring an eternity of darkness and misery to this planet, but he also has to make a weekly television appearance to win a wrestling competition, and you can buy his action figure at Toys R Us.

12. Major parent fail.

I thought guys got periods too, but only once, and you bled and then you were able to impregnate someone.

I cut my upper leg during a rugby match and was bleeding near my groin and was devastated because I thought everyone would presume I had my period mid-match and also subsequently would be walking around able to impregnate people. Worst thing is, I wasn’t even a stupid kid – we literally just lived in a reserved country and I was a full-time boarder at my school, so never got ‘the talk’.

Anyway, thanks for attending my Bled Talk.

11. Bless.

I believed my uncles “roommate” just slept on the couch…

10. I can see this kid’s mind turning.

More so naive and innocent rather than dumb but still funny.

My dad used to tell us kids that a dwarf/little person worked in and operated every carpark barrier in the world.

Every time he drove up to one he’d press the button for the ticket and say “cheers mate, hows the wife?” and fake a conversation as he waited for the barrier to open lol.

9. When the dumb almost kills you.

That I could smell something while underwater.

When I was around 10/12 years old I was in a tropical themed water park where also happened to be a herbal bath. It smelled very nice, which I had not expected. Most of the tropical plants were fake plastic plants, so I figured the water in the bath was normal swimming pool water and the smell was coming from something else. The bath was surrounded with a small aromatic herb garden which didn’t look fake. I sneakily took a sample from a thyme plant that felt surprisingly real.

But because the air was filled with all the different aromas and a hint of chlorine I couldn’t smell anything different when I tried to smell the thyme. I figured the only place where my sense of smell couldn’t be fooled by any fakery was underwater. For 5 seconds I actually felt pretty smart. Until I tried.

8. I am dead now.

That sperm were the size of tennis balls and would burst forth from the head of your penis if you “slept with a woman”, slither across the bed up into her, and make the baby.

Thanks facts of life popup book with no adults willing to clarify that the objects within were not always to scale.

7. His wife told him the truth.

I used to think they dropped the ball at times square multiple times for each USA time zone.

I just assumed people stuck around for the extra ball drops cuz they were all drunk and having fun.

Worth mentioning that I believed this until I was an adult and had my east coast wife let me down easy

6. Sex education is sorely lacking.

I thought that girls peed from their butts.

Then I learned about vaginas and thought girls peed from there.

It wasn’t until I was like 16 that I realized there was another hole.

5. That makes you think.

When we played Pokémon Mystery Dungeon my little sister used to accept the lamest missions and not get good rewards. I told her about it and she responded with

“How would you like it if you were a poor Pokémon that lost its mom and was stuck all alone and had nothing to give someone to save you?”

I laughed my head off at her because “it’s not real, duh” but secretly, I feel that in my soul sometimes.

4. Hollywood is a liar.

That men can get pregnant too …. damn you Schwarzenegger :'(

I was 6 and I saw a man with a big beer belly shopping for diapers at a mall. It made all sense to me and i was so happy i screamed omg u will have a baby !

I think I am gonna go rewatch Junior again.

3. It’s the last part that nails it.

As a kid, my sister told me that we had an older brother that died.

She said he died when playing bowling and his fingers didn’t come out the ball and slid all the way down the alley then he turned into a skittle.

2. Maybe these should be things.

When I was a little kid, I believed that when people got divorced, they had a divorce ceremony, like where they had to go to church and say, “I don’t.”

I imagined the woman wore a black divorce dress (like her wedding dress had been dyed black), and that everybody went to the reception where the ex-bride and ex-groom sat on opposite sides of the hall and there was a divorce cake where the little bride and groom on top had their backs to each other with their arms angrily crossed.

I eventually learned, from watching my mom’s soap operas, that this was not the case, and was kind of disappointed cuz I’d been to a few weddings by then, and was interested in what a divorce ceremony was like.

1. So many wrong lyrics before the internet.

One of my favorite song’s growing up was TLC’s “Don’t Go, Jason Waterfalls”

I can’t think of anything I believed past the age of say, ten, can you?

If so, please share the story with us in the comments!

Hilarious Memes for Looking and Laughing and Sharing

If you printed out all the memes on the internet and stacked them on top of each other…scientists estimate that that would be a stupid waste of time. Because there are so many memes, you see. And also printers are finicky.

There’s no denying that if you’re traveling and want an alternative to burgers and fries, you’ve probably found yourself standing in line at a Subway.

A Guy’s Bike Ride From Poo Point (Washington) to Pee Pee Creek (Ohio) Was All for Charity

Most of us want to find ways that we can do good, can give back to the world around us and those less fortunate.

We have to find our thing, the outlet that gets us the most attention and the most support – and therefore, earns support and attention for our passionate causes.

And judge this guy all you want, but if there’s one thing that’s universally true in this world, talking about one’s bodily functions as a joke is always popular.

Ruben Lopez (@rubydrummr on Twitter) is a Chicago-based musician and cyclist who promised to bike from Poo Poo Point in Washington to Pee Pee Creek in Ohio in exchange for charity support. In order to make it, he would have to traverse over 2500 miles and spend 36 days camping out under the stars.

To raise the hilarity stakes even further, Lopez promised to go 69 miles every day and take pictures of all the irreverent signs along the way.

He delivered, too, riding just the 69 miles – “not a mile more, not a mile less” – every day, and posting pictures of his, ahem, memorable sights along the way.

While the humor factor in this story is high, what’s important is that Lopez was making the trip to raise both money and awareness for the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. He’s raised more than $7,000 to donate for the Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation, which “provides help and support to the neediest families in Yemen who have suffered from a devastating war since 2015.”

And he’s not done yet.

Next up, the trek from Pee Pee Creek, Ohio, to Pee Pee Island, Newfoundland.

He’s the hero we all need, clearly, but none so much as the people suffering in Yemen.

Donate if you can!

10 Weird Trends That Went Viral This Year

This year is almost over, and TikTok lives to see another year. Gen Z’s favorite social media platform is still influencing every corner of the entire internet.

Here are the top 10 weirdest TikTok trends that managed to define 2020.

1. This unsavory tasting challenge

Sorry for reminding you that guys dipped their b*lls in soy sauce to see if they could taste it. I, too, wish this was something we could all just forget about.

@alxjames

oh.. my god….. ??

♬ original sound – Alx James

2. And its fitting counterpart

Ladies, we aren’t off the hook either. Some girls got so bored during quarantine that they stuck ice cubes up you-know-where.

@girl.with.eyebags

It was cool ❄️#fyp #foryou #keepingbusy #icecube #trend #trending #viral #quarantine #funny #staysafe #stayathome #health #covid19 #petlover #funny

♬ Pew Pew Pew – Auntie Hammy

3. Putting babies in the splash zone

So, this one was kind of hit or miss.

@tia.dunham

????? no babies were harmed in this video #fyp #momsoftiktok

♬ Ah Eh – ??

4. When people started shaving down their teeth

With nail boards. I’m not a dentist, but this cannot possibly be good for you. Luckily, the doctors of TikTok stepped in to really lay down the law.

@thebentist

@cheneltiara why you do dis to me! ?? PSA: I don’t recommend doing this ✌? have your dentist check to make sure it’s safe first! #teeth #braces

♬ original sound – The Bentist

5. At-home mole removal

It looks as painful as it sounds. TikTok doctors clapped back with the truth here, yet again.

@dermdoctorbritt

#moleremoval is one trend NOT to jump on unless you want a #scar for your #promlook – Or even worse! #baddecisions #dermatologist #moreyouknow #fyp

♬ Bad Decisions – The Strokes

6. Another baby challenge

Some moms went out on a limb here and decided to flash their nursing babies. The reactions they managed to capture are absolutely priceless.

@thenataliecollins

She licked her lips ???#dropemoutchallenge #baby #breastfed #foryou #fyp #foryoupage #thatredheadbaby #cute #cutebaby

♬ Drop ‘Em Out – Wheeler Walker Jr.

7. The strawberry salt soak

Apparently, our grocery-bought strawberries have little worms crawling in them. This is a trend that’s great for my physical health, I guess. My mental health is a different story.

@callmekristatorres

WAIT FOR IT… Still trying to think happy thoughts today. #fyp #foryou #strawberrieswithbugs #bugsinstrawberries #rednoseday #got2bhome

♬ original sound – Krista Torres

8. The childhood baby blanket reveal

We all had a baby blanket at some point, but these TikTokers kept theirs well into adulthood. The results are absolutely shocking. This one seriously just looks like a giant ball of yarn.

@gabbinaturman

i think i win the baby blanket challenge, wbu??? #fyp #babyblankets #blanketchallenge This took 21 years of devotion, taking my blanket everywhere

♬ original sound – corn dog

9. Biting Martinelli’s juice containers

Yes, people actually started biting into those little Martinelli’s juice cartons because it apparently sounded like they were biting into an actual apple. There are some things on the internet that you just cannot make up.

@kylehiggns

I got the tiktok apple juice that sounds like an apple #foryou #relatable #applejuice

♬ Eine kleine Nachtmusik – Mozart

10. And then there’s this

So, people started rubbing rings on their foreheads to see it left a black line, which they apparently thought was a sign of iron deficiency. That turned out to be completely inaccurate, but what else do we expect? Welcome to the internet!

@petroutv

Wtf @dixiedamelio

♬ original sound – Thomas Petrou

Well, those were somewhat entertaining! At least people finally stopped doing the Tide pod challenge. That was seriously a dark time.

These People Got Their Dog a Step Stool So He Can Chat With Neighbor Dogs Over Garden Wall

There are a couple of adorable, svelte, very good boys online named Vito and Bambino.

As they’re Great Danes, these pups have no problem surveying their kingdom beyond the confines of their garden, since they can easily stand on their hind legs and look over the wall.

When they got new neighbors, though, they found they had a problem – the very good boi next door was a normal-sized dog (a Chocolate Labrador), and they couldn’t see and sniff each other according to their whims.

Guiseppe, the Lab, couldn’t meet their noses over the wall!

Vito and Bambino’s owner, Afton Tarin, told the Dodo how seeing his puppers struggle to fit in with his new friends inspired him.

“He has tried many times to jump up and get a good whiff of his big doggy friends whenever we’re all outside.

Guiseppe would furiously jump as high as he could and try to say hello. I would always say, ‘If only you had a step stool.’”

Oh, the humanity!

 

Then, of course, Guiseppe’s human, Robert Carnes, remembered he did have a step stool – and the rest is happy, happy history.

Robert snapped a photo of Guiseppe standing on the stool, his tail wagging too fast to be caught on film, as he sniffed and licked his new pals faces for the first time.

Afton loved the picture, calling it “so stinkin’ cute,” and said it made her feel good to see the dogs so happy to “meet” in person for the first time.

Animals are amazing, and if we let them, they can even bring neighbors together!
