Things That Are Normal In Video Games But Unacceptable In Real Life

We don't think twice about the strange things we can do in the virtual worlds of video games that we absolutely can't do in real life without being shunned, arrested or straight up killed.

For instance- in most games you can walk around with a weapon in your hand and the in-game characters don't spare you a second glance, but in real life you have to leave your running knife at home or risk jail time.

And speaking of running- don't you think it's odd that video game characters run around at full speed the entire game?

Someone on AskReddit wondered about all that running when Connorforpope asked "What is totally unacceptable in real life, but normal in video games?", and then the answers got a bit dark.

Imagine how much higher the suicide rate would be if people had extra lives, they'd be like "dinner with the in-laws is awkward, guess I'll go kill myself and respawn at home!"

Exploring The Unique Marvels Of Croatia's Underwater Park

Using the word "underwater" to describe your theme park can mean many different things, but at Croatia's Underwater Park the word is used literally- because the park's "attractions" are all under the sea.

At the Underwater Park you slap on a diving helmet and slip under the water, checking out all the sea life, sunken ships and ancient artifacts on the ocean floor with skilled divers as your guide.

You can even ride a bike underwater there for some reason, and once that silly idea wears thin you can visit with the all the undersea life hanging around the place.

British Caterpillars Are Being Killed By A 'Zombie' Virus That Makes Them Explode

Most "zombie" viruses that affect insects are pretty horrific, and they almost always result in the death of the host insect, but it seems the oak eggar caterpillars afflicted with the baculovirus have it worst of all.

That's because the baculovirus changes the caterpillar's instinct to stay out of the sun, making them climb towards the sun until their exoskeleton disintegrates and they explode, spraying their virus-filled guts all over the forest.

Mosslands manager from the Wildlife Trust in Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside Dr. Chris Miller has been looking in to the exploding 'pillar problem:

'It's like a zombie horror film. I was carrying out a large heath butterfly survey on Winmarleigh Moss and noticed a caterpillar hanging from the end of a branch of a small bush. Later on I saw another one hanging from a tall blade of grass - both were dead but otherwise intact.

Birds will often eat the zombified corpses as they hang from the tops of plants and spread the virus via their faeces. 'It's pretty gruesome when you think about it,' Dr Miller said.

'I've never seen it in eight years working with the Wildlife Trust, and my colleague hasn't in 25 years, so it's an unusual thing to witness,' Dr Miller told MailOnline.

The "Europabruecke" - World's Longest Pedestrian Suspension Bridge

I used to be afraid of heights so suspension bridges are a bit too high off the ground and shaky for me, which means I'll probably never take a walk across the "Charles Kuonen" Europabruecke (Europa Bridge) in Randa, Switzerland.

But you're welcome to check out the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge whenever you're in Switzerland, and by all means let me know how it felt to walk on a bridge hanging 278 feet above the Grabengufer ravine.

Supposedly there's quite a nice view of the Matterhorn from the bridge, and it's part of a hiking route between the towns Zermatt and Grachen, so it's a convenient way to walk among the Alps.

If you're a bit shaky about heights like me there's no need to worry- the Europa Bridge was totally rebuilt before being reopened on July 29th, 2017 and is therefore safer than ever before! I'm still not going anywhere near it, but thanks for asking...

Following Random Cosplayers While Playing Their Theme Song On The Melodica

99.9% of cosplayers are missing one key component to their character portrayal- theme music. Jack Spade learned how important it is to have your own theme music in I'm Gonna GIt You Sucka, but most cosplayers have yet to learn how much a theme song would enhance their awesome costumes.

So to help them realize the power of theme music Lily Ki (aka LilyPichu) followed cosplayers around at Indy PopCon 2017 while playing their theme song on her melodica, singlehandedly starting the musical cosplay revolution.

Dorodorobo Is Officially The Crappiest Robot Ever Made

We all knew advancements in robotics would lead to people using this cutting edge technology to make really crappy 'bots, but I didn't expect the bar to be set so high (low?) so early.

And it's doubtful anyone will ever bother making a robot crappier than Dorodorobo, the shuffling pile of poo that spews diarrhea out of the top of its head and looks like a germophobe's worst nightmare.

(YouTube Link)

If you're asking yourself "why would anyone make something this?" there are many answers, including "because poo is funny", "because life is s#$t" and "because they can".

But the real question isn't why but how- how does the creator sleep at night knowing they unleashed a diarrhea-spewing robot on the world? He must know something we don't know...

Dad Wrongly Thinks His Kid Created The Filthiest Artwork Ever

Some kids create art that looks like nothing but scribbles, others make art that is so inscrutable you have the ask the kid what the hell it's supposed to be.

But the kid in this story made a piece of art so vile and perverted his Redditor father Bubsing thought the kid was headed for counseling and home schooling:

‘My kid created what I thought was an angry-rage-boner-poop-fly-guy,’ Bubsing wrote.

It turns out Bubsing was all wrong about his kid's strange creation- because he was looking at the artwork upside down.

As soon as Bubsing turned the paper art masterpiece right side up all faith in his child was instantly restored, as the angry poop became Fly Guy from the chilren's book series by Tedd Arnold.

Exploring Ukraine's Underground Rave Revolution

Raves haven't been underground in America for well over two decades, and the commercialization and coopting of rave culture has turned those little warehouse parties into full blown stadium festival fare.

But early raves were part protest, part dance party and usually illegal in some way, and this civil unrest techno disco vibe brought hope to people who were dealing with conflicts threatening to break them down.

Which is why underground raves are back in a big way in Ukraine, as seen in this i-D video:

The 2014 revolution brought Kiev nightlife to a complete standstill. As protests turned into riots, and government security forces opened fire on protestors, the country fell into crisis. But out of the ashes of revolution has risen a new generation. Slava Lepsheev, who’d lost his job because of the financial crisis triggered by the war, had had enough, and started Cxema, a raw, hard and hypnotic techno rave that he took to whatever semi-legal venue he could set a soundsystem up in. So together with Slava, and the city’s brightest young lights, we followed young Kiev as they prepared for a night at Cxema, from building the venue to watching the sunrise break.

Bear Smells Brownies Baking Inside Home, So He Tries To Break In And Get Him Some

Everybody knows bears have insatiable appetites, and they put in hours of work every day just to keep their bellies full, but did you know they'll resort to breaking and entering just to score a free meal?

That's why people in bear country keep their doors locked tight and stay on alert for furry  home invaders, like the hungry guy in these photos who smelled brownies cooking and tried to invite himself in.

The Connecticut woman who was accosted by this uninvited ursine guest says he was a persistent little bastard, trying every which way to get in and get at those delicious brownies:

“He actually left the kitchen area and went to the second set of doors off the deck,” Belfiore told WFSB. “And tried those and then went to the third set of doors into the living room and attempted to get into those.”

Well-Intentioned Phrases Ruined By Obnoxious People

Most phrases we use all the time didn't start out with any sort of bad intention behind them, because they were coined for the sake of safety and self expression not to piss people off.

But, like every other well intentioned thing in this world, some jerks just had to take phrases like "does it have gluten in it?" or "think of the children!"  and ruin them for everyone else.

People once asked about gluten because they have celiac disease, and eating gluten filled foods like wheat, barley or rye can make them really sick, but then the diet fad began and made "gluten" a jerk word.

(Image Link)

Likewise "won't somebody please think of the children?" began as a well-meaning phrase designed to get people to think about what kids are exposed to, so strippers and sailors would tone it down around the kiddos.

But now it's a PC battle cry yelled by those who seek to "protect children" by whitewashing the world, making the world a safer place by censoring the crap out of everything.

Am I Losing It?

Putting the milk back in the fridge when we're done is a practice our parents beat into our heads from birth, and by the time we're grown up and buying our own milk we never forget to put it back.

So when we as full grown adults actually manage to leave the milk out without remembering that we even used the milk, much less left it out, the glaring error makes us feel like we're losing our minds.

But, as this Channelate comic by Ryan Hudson shows, that carton of milk may have left itself out- with a little help from mischievous house ghosts. Sounds legit to me!

Proof That Chinese Models Are The Fastest Models In The World

Fashion models can earn a name for having an unique look, an interesting figure or because they've mastered the art of what Tyra Banks calls the '"smeyes".

But the Chinese online shopping conglomerate Taobao doesn't care if a model can use their smeyes- as long as they can model quickly and assume around 30 poses per minute.

High speed modeling may sound like efficiency gone mad, but the Taobao models who strike poses faster than anyone else on Earth can make upwards of $1500 a day for a shoot, so they're not complaining!

Facehugger In The Box - Man, Space Toys Totally Suck!


Facehugger in the box by Dr.Monekers 

If you ever discover a jack-in-the-box while searching through an old abandoned Weyland-Yutani vessel you should really leave it alone- and ask yourself how such a strange thing came to be on that ship. Kids haven't played with such primitive toys in over a century, and Weyland-Yutani isn't in the business of making toys, so someone must have built that box knowing a curious human would some day board that ship...

Warn people about the dangers hidden in toys found on abandoned spaceships with this Facehugger In The Box t-shirt by Dr. Monekers, it's one dangerously cool design!

No Coffee No Workee - Keep That Java Flowin'!


No coffee No workee by Bomdesignz 

They should put a sign up in every office in America that says "No Coffee No Workee" so the people in charge of ordering stuff for the break room will remember to stock coffee above all else. Because an office without coffee brewing constantly is like a barista without some sort of hipster clothing accessory, in other words just so wrong. If you ever find yourself in a "no more coffee" situation at the office you should offer to buy your co-workers a cuppa joe from a nearby coffee shop- because you'll look like a hero and get to take an extended break!

Wear your love of java on your chest with this No Coffee No Workee t-shirt by Bomdesignz, it's a real eye opener!
