The holiday season is hardest on the poor retail workers who make our consumer spendfests possible with their blood, sweat and tears.

These wage warriors stand on the frontlines of capitalism, defending their stores from invading customer armies while trying to keep their tyrannical managenerals happy.

So when you hit the stores to do some last minute holiday shopping make sure you wave the white flag and show those overstressed and underpaid retail workers that you come in peace! (Comic by AC Stuart)

ASTEROID AND DINOSAUR by Alexander Medvedev

A lot of people think the dinosaurs were killed off by an asteroid that landed on Earth and caused all kinds of problems on the planet's surface. While this may be true it's only half the story, because that asteroid was piloted by a dinosaur. Turns out dinosaurs had technology that allowed them to head into space and set up shop on another planet, and those who stayed behind on Earth were considered the enemy. These are all scientific facts that you don't need to look up or anything because they're all true, and the design on this tee proves it!

Change the way people see the past with this ASTEROID AND DINOSAUR t-shirt by Alexander Medvedev, it's one cute yet controversial design!

Fans felt certain a sequel to the original Star Wars trilogy would follow close on the heels of Return Of The Jedi's success, and back in 1983 Mark Hamill was all ready to star in the sequel.

Little did he know that George Lucas' prediction about it taking almost thirty years to bring that beloved space opera back to the big screen was nearly spot on.

On a side note- who brings a baby to a talk show taping?

Organizations like Make-A-Wish do everything they can to grant the last requests of those not long for this world, and we often hear about these granted wishes after the terminally ill person passes away.

But delivering an exact moment when their (often lifelong) wish is granted is what these groups are all about, and while Netherlands-based Ambulance Wish Foundation is a new org they're already making big dreams come true.

These poignant yet heartwarming photographs demonstrate that those who have lived a full life tend to wish for simpler things, like a trip to a museum or a visit from a friendly giraffe, seemingly at peace with what's to come.

Photos posted on social media outlets usually only tell part of what's actually going on at that moment, so the person posting the photos comes out smelling of roses instead of BS.

It's enough to make you wonder what the heck is going on with the subject of the photo to make them feel they need to edit or fabricate moments in their lives, which they then share like visual lies.

Many farms are covered in snow this time of year, and fifth generation family owned Prunty farms has more snow than most because it's located in South Dakota, so what's a farmer to do during the off season?

Make snow art with their tractors, that's what, and farmer Dan Prunty is quite the artist when he's behind the wheel of his John Deere 6400 tractor.

Behold the strange beauty of a man spelling "Merry Christmas" in the snow with a tractor.

It took Dan two acres of land covered in snow ten inches thick to properly spell out a Christmas greeting by tractor, and it took his son's drone camera to film the whole scene from the proper angle. They make a great team!

Inmates celebrating Christmas at the Raymond Street Jail, Brooklyn New York, 1932

Christmas falls on December 25th whether you're free to celebrate the day or incarcerated for committing a crime, and even those facing life behind bars dredge up a bit of holiday cheer at the end of the year.

Most prisons don't allow inmates to decorate their cells these days, but in the first half of the 20th century prisoners were allowed to put up decorations and celebrate the holidays just like everyone else.

These vintage photographs present a view of prison life that seems almost too serene to be true, but let's not forget what the less festive parts of jail, like the "drunk tank", looked like on Christmas morn circa way back when:

Those who like old school stuff are said to be retro lovers, fans of simpler times when cartoons were cooler, television shows still had heart, and graphic design was totally groovy.

Thanos Thermos by Sterling Arts & Design

Fresh from the fray and feeling like the king of the universe, Thanos felt like he could do anything he wanted with the rest of his immortal life...so he decided to start an insulated container company. The idea sounded really marvel-ous in his head, but once again he proved why people across the galaxy call him the Mad Titan. Thanos took every bit of gold he'd plundered to turn multiple planets into a massive network of factories, and soon the first batch of insulated beverage containers rolled off the production line. Sales were slow to start, but soon the word had spread about how hot and cool his containers kept beverages, and Tony Stark even took notice of the company and started buying stock. But Thanos knew nothing of business, and didn't realize that Stark becoming majority stockholder meant his business would fail and a new war would begin...

If you're wondering what cutting edge stop motion animation looks like you should watch the films made by LAIKA, but if you want to see how each film is made you'll have to watch all of the DVD bonus features.

However, in honor of their 10th anniversary LAIKA has put together this amazing, behind-the-scenes reel that peels back the curtain to give us a glimpse of how stop motion magic is made.

(YouTube Link)

Here's what LAIKA's President and CEO Travis Knight had to say about the studio's future:

“We are committed to telling stories that are thematically challenging, aesthetically beautiful, emotionally resonant, and a wee bit subversive. By combining stop-motion animation with cutting-edge creative approaches, we’ve embraced the fusion of art and craft and technology, honoring tradition while looking toward the future. But we’re never satisfied. There’s an inherent restlessness at LAIKA. We always want to challenge ourselves.”

I'm not sure whether these strange videos posted on Facebook by Showry are foodporn or postmodern feminist comedy made with a South Korean sense of humor in mind, but they definitely whet my appetite for internet oddities!

(Video Link)

Showry's sexy food themed videos are meant to poke fun at the South Korean social media trend of Muk-bang, or "eating broadcasts", which feature attractive guys and gals gorging themselves on food.

But unlike the seductive cam model element found in traditional Muk-bang vids, Showry's strange foodie funtime is more likely to make viewers lose their appetites.

Cats are nimble and said to always land on their feet, with extremely quick reflexes and the ability to squeeze into any space where they can fit their whiskers.

They're obviously not clumsy animals, so why are they always knocking stuff off our tables? Are they actually just being jerks, mocking their humans by breaking our stuff?

(YouTube Link)

Scientifically speaking the answer is no, and according to research done by Katherine Houpt, a professor of veterinary behavior at Cornell University, cats knock over our stuff to get our attention.

They also like to swat stuff off tables because of their predatory instinct to strike with their paws, so the swatting could actually be seen as a kind of training exercise for hunting. And Pretty soon they'll be hunting for a new place to live if they keep knocking stuff over!

Memphis Kings by Bobby Bernethy

Memphis is home to many things its citizens are proud of- the Blues and the birthplace of Rock 'N' Roll, delicious food, sweet Southern hospitality and Graceland. But there's one thing that doesn't quite sit right with the good folks who call Memphis home- their basketball team is called the Grizzlies. The name made sense when the team was in Vancouver, but the only grizzly bears roaming around Memphis are really hairy drunk guys with their shirts off. Isn't it time for Memphis' pro basketball team to change their name to something more suitable for their city, something that everyone can easily recognize as a part of Memphis culture?

Show the world you're voting to rename the team with this Memphis Kings t-shirt by Bobby Bernethy, it's a rockin' good tee whether you're a Grizzlies fan or not!

Zelda Ugly Sweater by Dandingeroz

It's dangerous to go out alone and uncovered, especially when it's storming outside and the winds of battle are in the air, so take it from Link and keep your torso properly covered. There's nothing like a fine and festive tunic to keep your chest from catching cold, and when that Hyrule winter comes around you can throw on a long sleeve fleece tunic and keep the chill out where it belongs. They say the first step to becoming a hero is training and practice, but I say the first step is acquiring the proper wardrobe!

You'll look like a legend in this Zelda Ugly Sweater t-shirt by Dandingeroz, featuring a fun design that's truly worthy of your video gaming greatness!

Most dates have certain key elements in common-the fancy restaurant that charges way too much, the dater who only agreed to go out with you for a free meal, the awkward conversation or, even worse, coming face-to-face with the dreaded babbler.

When you meet someone you really like you should hang on tight and play the dating game right, so you can go on that most amazing of all dates- the hung-over bed date!

Comic artist AC Stuart presents the succinctly named strip 5 Dates You'll Go On, which plays out pretty slice-of-life right up until the very end...
