The anonymity afforded by the internet gives people the courage to make bold statements online they'd never say in person, acting like the things they say online will never have an impact on their real life.
And even far less anonymous social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook are full of people who have created a rich imaginary lives for themselves online- and they all seem to think they're total badasses.
A real badass knows actions speak louder than words, and they also know that making statements about your mommy after acting tough may result in your badass card being revoked.
But these internet tough guys don't care about real life badassery, they're too busy saying really hardcore stuff online so that everyone knows they're a keyboard warrior and an internet soldier, and totally not to be messed with.
When a cat sets their mind to getting something they rarely give up until they get it, and cats have been known to bite the hand that feeds them if that something is food.
But I've never met a cat who liked bread, especially when their humans try to stick it on their heads like a mask, so we must assume Kelley Fultz's cat Mew Mew is trying to snatch her bread simply out of spite.
Some paintings transport the viewer to exotic and beautiful places, giving them a feeling of serenity and a sense of wonder, but if that's the feeling you're looking for then the paintings of George Tooker probably won't appeal to you.
However, if you appreciate both darkness and light, unafraid to embrace the horror and anxiety caused by human existence because they make us appreciate the serenity and beauty even more then take a trip into a Tooker painting.
George Tooker was born and raised in New York in the early 20th century, and his paintings reflect the uneasiness, alienation and depression felt by many in the wake of World War II, as people struggled to find their purpose in the post-modern world.
Wheel Of Fortune isn't the most difficult game show on TV, so you don't have to be a brainiac to win as long as you can choose the right letters to buy and complete the puzzle before your opponents.
But some people end up losing in the stupidest way possible- like mispronouncing simple words while solving the puzzle or choosing a final letter that would complete a super racist word.
The answer is "Clam Digger", there's no "N" in either word! Talk about your effed up Freudian slips...
It's supposedly rude to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but where are you going to hear inane rambling, deranged conspiracy theories or conversations so vapid they lower your IQ if you don't eavesdrop?
Writers, artists and other students of human nature love to eavesdrop because it gives them real life reference for their works, and illustrator Avner Geller has heard so many stupid and funny conversations he decided to start drawing them all.
Avner calls his project #ThingsThatIHear, and it all started with a real-life first world problem he overheard in the wild:
The idea for “#ThingsThatiHear” arrived when I was visiting a cookware store in Los Angeles. A young woman was looking at her phone and gave a big sigh, turned to her friend decisively and exclaimed, “He wants to go to Bali. But I say Fiji!” I couldn’t help but laugh. The absurdity of this “first world problem” was too much. From that moment on I started to catch all sorts of real-life conversations, that eventually turned into these illustrations.
The characters in the world of “#ThingsThatiHear” are people we all know: They are our office mates who complain to us about the daily grind. They are the awful online date we are trying so hard to forget. They are the people silently stalking our Facebook. More than anything they are the US when we think no one is listening.
Every internet user appreciates funny posts, and social media platforms like Twitter have made it easy to share the LOLz with your friends and family on a daily basis. But when the cute and silly tweets don't cut it anymore you need a share with a sinister edge, something that gives you an uncomfortable giggle, like this man-cat.
Text-only tweets can also get a bit tedious, but when the tweeter tries to get under your skin in 140 characters or less and succeeds it makes the effort worthwhile.
My son was SO cute today, he asked me "dad are clouds candy?" I told him they were water. Then he asked "dad, what's Earth's defense system?" and then I remembered I don't have a son and he asked again his eyes now obsidian black "what is the defense system father"
The best tweets are the hilarious yet dark, the tweets that make us giggle because they're so deranged, the ones that make you go "haha wtf was that?!" and cause you to feel a bit funny inside.

Some dogs are lazy bums who can't be bothered to lift a paw to help their owners, but working dogs love to stay busy doing the important job they were trained to do, and they genuinely seem to have fun while at work.
But Piper doesn't stress out about doing his job or impressing his owner, Brian Edwards, because he is too busy having fun chasing those birds away to worry about quotas or looking good in front of the boss.
And besides, Brian loves him so much that Piper can do no wrong in his eyes!
This Great Big Story video shows the important, life saving job being performed by dogs and showcases Piper's ability to have fun and get the job done, all while wearing some super cool doggles. Good boy Piper!
Stephen King has written many scary stories about inanimate objects, from The Mangler to Christine to The Monkey, but the scariest object he ever had to face was The Desk, which he thought would be a dream come true.
As you'll see in this comic by Zen Pencils, Stephen bought the massive oak desk in 1981 and proceeded to write some of his most famous novels behind it, but the desk only served to make him feel like an alien in his own home...
The Empire excels at taking planets by force, or destroying them outright should the planet's inhabitants choose not to submit, so their coffers are overflowing and their Sith commanders are paid well.
But had Darth allowed one more Death Star to be destroyed or failed to eliminate one more race of furry teddy bear creatures he may have been let go, forcing him to find a 9 to 5 and earn his credits like a lowly moisture farmer.
Photographer Michaël Massart imagined what Darth would look like if he had to take a severe pay cut and work some Joe job as a car wash worker, dishwasher or bus driver, and it seems even at his lowest point Darth still has henchmen.
Michaël does a good job of giving Darth and his two guards plenty of personality even though they're wearing full armor, and when he incorporates the lightsaber into the bit he does it just right.
Gordon Ramsay isn't the highest paid chef in the world, nor does he have the most Michelin stars, but Gordon has one claim to fame that the other chefs don't- he has the world record for rolling the longest sheet of pasta.
This may not seem like a worthwhile endeavor for a chef of his caliber, but since Gordon may never be the highest paid chef or have the most Michelin stars he might as well put his energy into setting world records- because I've never seen him happier!
Hunter S. Thompson was an unconventional man to say the least, but he still liked to celebrate the holidays by putting up a Christmas tree just like an average Joe.
However, Hunter disposed of his tree in a way many of us wish we could but few would dare to attempt- by incinerating it in a post-holiday blaze of glory in his fireplace.
Hunter demonstrated his Christmas tree disposal technique to TIME magazine writer Sam Allis when Sam visited Hunter's Colorado home in 1990, telling his secretary Deborah Fuller:
"Let’s give the journalist a memorable experience to write about. He needs to learn how to burn the creosote out of a chimney. We can’t run the risk of a chimney fire during the year.”
Sam had this to say about the day he witnessed Hunter's version of Christmas cheer:
“I gave up on the interview and started worrying about my life when Hunter Thompson squirted two cans of fire starter on the Christmas tree he was going to burn in his living-room fireplace, a few feet away from an unopened wooden crate of 9-mm bullets. That the tree was far too large to fit into the fireplace mattered not a whit to Hunter, who was sporting a dime-store wig at the time and resembled Tony Perkins in Psycho. Minutes earlier, he had smashed a Polaroid camera on the floor.”
Hunter had decided to videotape the Christmas tree burning, and we later heard on the replay the terrified voices of Deborah Fuller, his longtime secretary-baby sitter, and me off-camera pleading with him, “NO, HUNTER, NO! PLEASE, HUNTER, DON’T DO IT!” The original manuscript of Hell’s Angels was on the table, and there were the bullets. Nothing doing. Thompson was a man possessed by now, full of the Chivas Regal he had been slurping straight from the bottle and the gin he had been mixing with pink lemonade for hours.
Most 80s kids spent their childhoods playing with toys, riding their bikes around town with their buddies and plunking their allowances into the coin slots of arcade machines. But when you're friends with a psychic on the run from a shadowy government organization who has also attracted the attention of a terrifying monster of myth and legend the games in the arcade just pale in comparison!

When someone says "no hay huevos" it can be taken a few different ways- literally, so they're saying you have no eggs available, or figuratively, meaning the person in question has no huevos (a slang term for a certain part of the male anatomy). Which is why this No Hay Huevos t-shirt by AliGonza is so funny- it says everything and nothing at the same time, and even those who have little to no knowledge of the Spanish language will get a kick out of it when you tell them what it means!

Ack, what the heck is this thing?! It has a kinda cute face attached to the body of a squid, but with pointy cat ears on top, wait...are those cat or bat ears? Man, this thing is somehow ugly and adorable at the same time, so I wanna give it a hug just so I can get close enough to it to kill it with fire! But it seems to be saying something I can't understand, maybe it brings a mutant message of peace?

Everybody loves pie, and even those dessert hating weirdos out there like savory pies like chicken pot pie and shepherd's pie, but pie is also the leading cause of fatness and stupid diet-related New Year's resolutions so pie kinda sucks too.
But did you know there's an easy way to lose weight by eating pie?
This animated Cyanide & Happiness comic has all the details, and while their weight loss method may not work for everyone it's great for those who want instant results!
