Few things in this life are as satisfying as watching a true professional explain something related to their craft. In case you always wondered why the rivets on a tape measure slid, now you can be enlightened. This guy should start his own channel.

Opening A Shaken Soda Can On The Ocean Floor

 

Astronaut Chris Hadfield shows us what happens when you shake up a soda can beyond belief, and then open it. Basically a whole bunch of nothing. Also, Chris Hadfield has lived in space, on earth, and underwater. The dude is clearly too dangerous for this planet.

Whale Surprises Host with Perfect Timing

 

One of the main pitfalls of whale watching is that there's no guarantee that you'll actually see a whale (or so we've heard from more cultured people who have time to go on boats). This whale seems to have heard that this crew needed some whale shots so it showed up right on cue.

Twitter Thread: Neighbor Creates Mind-Blowingly Wholesome Fairy Experience

@SaystheFox found some hard times and put that energy into making some magic happen for a kid in their neighborhood. It's probably some of the more wholesome stuff we've seen. Also, points for getting the parents in on it because without that this whole thing would probably be the creepiest thing we've ever experienced. For more wholesomeness, here's some wholesome memes to keep the feels intact and a quick tumblr post on kids language struggles.

Snobby Aunt Regifts Box Of Old Chocolates, Petty Revenge Ensues

The audacity of this materialistic aunt to sit there and watch her family member go ahead with eating chocolates that are bad, because she didn't want to get called out for regifting, is beyond comprehension. We can only hope that the Aunt learned her lesson, and discontinued her regifting practice. Especially regifting expired sweets. That's just the opposite of promoting the holiday spirit. Check out more of the world's pettiest revenges over here

1.

Text - r/pettyrevenge + Join u/blue_solid • 1d 1 2 1 1 3 1 Petty revenge christmas edition. I have this aunt in law who is this materialistic bubble head. She goes on about her assorted status symbols, clothes on her kids, her house etc. We always exchange gifts at Christmas, my wife has a fondness for her which had much more to do with her childhood than the classist weirdo she is today.

2.

Text - Anyway, I always had the feeling that she would fake appreciate any gift you gave her but not actually use it, she would make these appreciative and back handed insults, like the time we gave her a box of chocolates, nougat covered with chocolate, her favorite. So she would say, 'oh these look lovely, unusually get the hand crafted nougat from from the chocolatier xxx, so these will be a nice variation, l'm sure they will be nice". Yeah, no, she is never going to eat those but my wife cal

3.

Text - We have also suspected her of regifting quite a bit but could never prove it. Until the following Christmas. One of the key rules of regifting is you dont regift to the same person that gave you a gift. And so yes, she gave me back the box of chocolates, I know it's the same one because a) it was pretty rare, never saw it before and after I bought it, it was imported from italy. So i said "oh, these are the same kind, i gave you last year, you must have enjoyed these so much that you boug

4.

Text - bloom which would happen after sitting in a closet for a year (bloom looks bad but really its just sugar thats condensed on the surface, so harmless really) pretending to be ignorant I double down, I'm going for it. I shove the box under her nose, "here, you love these, have one" she stammered, "I am ok, not hungry at the moment "but you love these, you said they were great" "oh, they were wonderful but I really couldnt " "OK, well then I have to have one, they look delicious" she stammer

5.

Text - Then about 10 minutes later, I started to complain "not feeling so good, do you have some seltzer ?" So she brought me a glass, let out a big burp. "That's better" I ate dinner, dessert,.drinks then after dinner we had brandy, "those chocolates would go great.with the brandy" so grabbed them. Passed them around, some said " where did you get those, they donr look very good, they have allot of bloom" I said 'no,they are great" and ate another one. The aunt looked pale. About 10 minutes lat

6.

Text - I told my wife the story, she was mad at me at first for being a dick. So I said "she knowingly gives someone a year old box of chocolates and I'm the dick" and then it finally.dawned on her "she knew it was bad, refused to eat one but let you eat one knowing it was a year old" The aunt called the next day and conveniently wondered how I was feeling. I said "I threw up when I got home butI was fine after rhat' 851 34 ↑, Share

Tumblr Discovers Kool-Aid Will Dye Leather

If that's what the stuff does to leather, it leaves the question of "what does it do to your insides?" This was likely an honest discovery, but who knows, maybe this was started by the Kool-Aid company themselves so that they'd finally get a different result when you google "Kool-Aid Dying." Here are some more funny and shiny tumblr gems.

The Most Absurdly Expensive Things People Witnessed

After a certain point, price doesn't denote quality or value as much as it just becomes the principle of buying an outrageously overpriced thing. Does a 30,000 dollar melon taste 29,995 dollars better than a 5 dollar melon? We don't know, we haven't tried one. But probably not. For out of touch rich people, spending money seems to become a sort of game, and for any reasonable bystander it's a jaw-dropping game to watch.

Tumblr Thread: Sesame Street's Forbidden, Nightmarish Crack Monster

We're not sure whether this whole rumor mill about Sesame Street's foreboding and forbidden Crack Monster is actually real or not. Regardless of whether or not this is nothing more than an imaginative work of fiction from some of Tumblr's wandering minds, it's still certainly an intriguing concept. At least we were able to find the infamous video (see end of list). We just wonder if all the other details about the story are true. If you're looking for more entertaining Sesame Street content, check out this post where Tumblr insists that Big Bird isn't an Apex predator.

1.

Text - wizardOrb Follow thinking about how an anonymous group (WHO DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AFFILIATED W/ SESAME STREET!!) found out where jon armond Ilived and made him swear he wouldn't show anyone cracks before they gave it to him wizardOrb Follow

2.

Text - giga-mermaid what does this say oh i am SO glad you asked. gimme a sec

3.

Text - wizardOrb Follow Ok SO. This guy (Jon Armond) claimed to have seen a Sesame Street short as a kid where the cracks in a girl's wall come to life. One of these cracks is referred to as the "Crack Monster", which was apparently so unsettling that it "scarred him for life". After all was said and done, Jon would end up spending about THIRTY FUCKING YEARS looking for the short. THIRTY. He considered it his life's work. Listen. I can appreciate that level of dedication to recovering a lost pie

4.

Text - Anyway, he posted about it online, where many other people reported seeing it as well. The fact that there were multiple accounts of its existence, but little to no information on it anywhere, was what made it start garnering attention on the internet. Now a bunch of people are looking for it. No one knew for sure what the title was yet, so most referred to it as the "Crack Monster Cartoon", or something similar. The lack of a known title (or music, or voice actors, or writers, or literal

5.

Text - I'm gonna leave out some details in the middle here, since I don't wanna make this thread too long. But it's super interesting, I'd recommend checking it out for yourself. Let's just skip to the weird part. After years of searching, Armond received a fax to his workplace with an untraceable number. It read: "WE HAVE THE COPY" Additionally, they said they would send him said copy of the short, on one condition: he was to never show it publicly, or post it online in any way. Whoever it was

6.

Text - So six months pass. Armond gets a letter, which says "WE TRUST THIS COMPLETES YOUR SEARCH" Also enclosed in the envelope is a DVD. To clarify, he received it on a SUNDAY. These people, whoever they are, found out where he WORKED, and then went to the effort of delivering it PERSONALLY on a day where there was NO MAIL, just to send the message THAT THEY KNEW WHERE HE LIVED AS WELL.

7.

Text - FOR THAT SESAME STREET CARTOON. So now he has it. And he tells people he has it, but that no one else can see it. Which is, of course, INCREDIBLY unsatisfying to the people online who have also been searching for it, right? Enter Dycaite, the founder of the Lost Media Wiki. So Dycaite started looking into it as well. Like I said, I'm skipping a bunch of details in this thread, but long story short he eventually received an anonymous email. The email contained CRACKS.

8.

Text - There were no instructions telling him not to share it. Dycaite didn't hesitate, which is how we got the version of CRACKS that I linked. With the newfound context provided by the video, it actually makes complete sense that it was only aired a few times. This short was made right before the word "Crack" became widely known as a euphemism for drugs, which is how you get characters like "The Crack Monkey". Sesame Street doesn't want to be associated with that, so they stop airing it right?

9.

Text - So... that's it right? It SEEMS like it should just be a classic story of formerly lost media, cartoon stops airing, gets lost, people online find it again. We even know WHY it was lost, not because it was "too scary" or whatever, just because it didn't age well. But there's still SO MUCH mystery surrounding CRACKS. The version of CRACKS that Jon Armond received was different from the version Dycaite received. Armond says his version appears to be an actual recording, as it starts with a

10.

Text - So it can be reasonably assumed that the people who contacted Armond are not affiliated with the person who emailed Dycaite. The person who contacted Dycaite also didn't seem to care if the short was released to the public. Armond still hasn't released his version of the recording to the public, though has apparently shown it to a few people privately. So why all the secrecy? And why was Jon Armond given a copy? Did they simply feel bad for him, or was there something they didn't want him

11.

Text - oh AND the group who didn't want CRACKS to ever be viewed doesn't actually seem to be affiliated with Sesame Street, since they presumably don't have access to the archives. (otherwise, why not remove the info from the beginning and send that version?) so there's an unofficial Sesame Street Forbidden Knowledge Guild out there i fuckin guess! anyways that's cracks for you (this isn't comprehensive btw, and i may have gotten some stuff wrong. if you wanna know more here's a good video on it

12.

Text - wizardOrb Follow this is the version of this post w/ the right links btw A omalleymenagerie Follow What even is life? #what the actual fuck 56,925 notes

Ship Captain Disregards Deck Crew's Advice, Loses Bonus, Gets Chewed Out

Man, nothing can bring the blood to a boil quite like having to take orders from a boss that clearly doesn't know what they're doing. In this case, we have a ship captain who sounds like he'd exhausted all of his ability to care about much of anything on the ship. The guy refused to listen to his deck crew's warnings, and ended up living to regret that like none other. Poor guy missed out on a bonus that he'd easily have been rewarded if he'd just slowed down and been a little more openminded.

Before I came to my senses and changed course, I worked as a sailor on a petroleum carrier. One of the many duties a sailor has is keeping the vessel from turning into a large iron ore deposit on the sea floor. To do this, there is a tool called a needle scaler. It's a pneumatic device that consists of a a bunch of 7-12 in

2.

Text - I worked with a dude, let's call him Joe, that probably ran out of fucks somewhere in the 1970's. He complained constantly and was a real pleasure to work with pain in the ass. The captain we had at the time was also a pleasure to work with pain in the ass who you never wanted to catch you slacking off, as the ass chewing he delivered would make a Marine blush. So we busted ass when he was onboard or he'd make our lives hell. We had hydraulic mooring winches that were welded to the deck p

Text - The MC. He ordered me and Joe to chip away the rust and then prime and paint at the base of the winches. Joe said the rust is really thick and likely he'd end up breaching the tank. He also pointed out that in two months we'd be in shipyard for a refit and it wouldn't matter if we busted through into the tanks there, so the job should probably wait. So Capt Asshat started cussing us both out, me because I backed up Joe as I felt he had an excellent point and Joe because he's been out of f

Text - I took the aft most (rearward for you land lubbers) winch while Joe went at the worse one in the middle. He went to town and after only 45 minutes he comes to get me. He'd punched 7 large and 4 small holes into the #4 and #5 cargo tanks (the winch straddled them). Good news was we're were empty and had last carried asphalt, so not much in the way of hazardous gasses. Bad news was we were due to load in 14 hours all the tanks to their max with No. 6 oil, which doesn't like sea water and ha

5.

Text - All in all, it cost the company about $130000 in lost time and repair charges. They had to pay for another company to take the load, which I don't know the cost of, but my vessels daily rate for the entire shebang was $30k so it was probably around that. Turns out that the company was going to cut the winches off in the next shipyard and replace them with electric models, which would have involved removing the deck plating and adding reinforcement for the heavier units.

Tumblr Insists Big Bird Isn't an Apex Predator

Once people realized that Big Bird's foreword facing eyes could indicate that Sesame Street could be his hunting grounds, it created a lot of mixed feelings. These Tumblr users decided to set the story straight on the diet of the giant talking yellow bird puppet. Apparently they wanted to differentiate Big Bird from this foreword-facing eyes freak cave goat.

1.

Text - iamthekaijuking asked: Is big bird an apex predator bunjywunjy answered not at all as we can tell from his general behavior and repeated comments about how delicious birdseed is, Big Bird is a megafauna herbivore and a keystone of the Sesame Street ecosystem!

2.

Yellow - Big Bird is too large to be challenged by the predatory muppets, so he can browse where he pleases, and in doing so he opens up spaces and opportunities for the smaller muppets, both predatory and non-predatory alike!

3.

Text - tallteenturtle Some people might have been confused by the fact that Big Birds eyes are on the front of his head, a trait often seen in predators. But the truth is that with no predators big enough to challenge the Bird it doesn't really matter where his eyes are. Maybe his front facing eyes are an evolutionary holdover from the days when his ancestors had to hunt for their food, who knows, nature is amazing! In any case he is definitely an herbivore now and we can all be thankful for tha

Imperfect and Frustrating Things To Boil Perfectionist Blood

It's probably best that we learn to overlook small "not my job" moments or annoying little design failures, but some of them are hard to overlook.

Customer Counts Chicken Bits In KFC Bucket, Gets Labeled Karen

This parent was not about to let a KFC employee get away with carelessly miscounting the number of chicken bits in their bucket. But alas, when they proceeded to call out the employee and manager for their counting error, they were then labeled Karen by the rest of the family. A tough go, for sure. I mean, it was three pieces after all. That's almost a whole meal right there. Come on, guys. 

1.

Text - AITA for counting out my chicken at KFC? So last night my family decided we wanted to eat some fried chicken. My older son's gf was staying with us so 6 people in total. We wanted to get it delivered but the wait times were too long so it was decided l'd drive over with my daughter. We decided to get a bucket with 24 pieces - so four bits of chicken for each of us, we'd share the fries and we had drinks at home. We get there and order, and as l'm waiting for my food I realise this is a br

2.

Text - When I said there were only 21 in the bucket instead of 24, she insisted that there was the full amount and I was mistaken. I assured her I was not. The manager overheard us and backed the employee, and said it looked like there were 24 pieces in the bucket and handed it to me. At this point I took out those disposable plates, laid them on the counter, and counted out 21 (not 24) chicken pieces. I then said I either want my 3 pieces or a refund because this not hat I had paid for. The man

Text - My daughter was mortified about the whole thing and said that I was being a total Karen. I disagree because I had a valid complaint that the staff wouldn't even consider. I think it's better I sorted it at the store than when we got home than someone went without because there weren't enough pieces. That someone would have been me or my wife, seeing as were the adults and I didn't particularly want to go hungry. My kids agreed that I was being dramatic and that 3 pieces weren't worth argu

Text - boonby • 8h O 1 Award NTA. People say karen for anything now, asking for what you paid for is not being a karen. I'm only saying this as a millennial myself, but tell your kids it is OKAY to be a customer. Just don't be a jerk about it and it is OKAY to speak up. I know my generation and younger gets nervous about that kind of stuff, but it is YOUR money and you should get what you paid for. You noticed a mistake, pointed it out (kindly? From what I read) and it was fixed. Reply 1 6.8k ..

I got it home and each box was like half full at best so I decided to count them. There was like 25-30 pieces in each box. So, not even half. I was trying to feed six people so you better believe I

There's also a non-zero chance your branch did that on purpose due to general scumminess. Your children are... well, children.

Hilarious Saga Of Karen Vs. Frank The Christmas Gargoyle

Man, petty neighbor wars are always a spectacle to behold. In this case though, we have just the kind of unprecedented neighbor war that takes pettiness to dizzying heights. Karen's been out there acting like the Grinch, and leaving all the passive aggressive/straight up aggressive notes that she can muster up. Fortunately, the dude on the other end of this exchange has no problem meeting Karen's onslaught of notes with their own passive aggressive power plays. Talk about a thoroughly enjoyable, absolutely hilarious little saga. Check out some more of the world's pettiest revenges over here

Text - So one of my neighbors left me an note informing me that my gargoyle statue is "not appropriate" and "not in keeping with the Christmas spirit." They firmly suggested that I "rectify the situation immediately." Well problem solved! Frank is now festive! I'm pretty sure that this is not what they had in mind and I look forward to the future note stating as much, but 1. Frank is very heavy and he doesn't get moved and 2. I like him even if he's not so great at warding off evil Karens.

Tumblr Users Analyze "The Incredibles" To Oblivion

Talk about an Incredible discourse. We can always count on the wandering minds of Tumblr to put their heads together, and churn out some real gems. This particular roundtable discussion centers on the infamous film, "The Incredibles." Maybe one of the best superhero movies of all time. So many easter eggs and intricate patterns throughout the film. The only question is how much of what's being discussed was intentional on the part of the filmmakers vs. pure coincidence? 

1.

Text - silverhawk honestly tho that scene in the incredibles where mr. incredible sees the names of all the old super heroes that used to be his friends / that he knew from Back in the Day and how every one of them has been killed by syndrome is such a chilling scene for so many reasons like for one, everyone he knew is dead at this point and has been killed on the same island he's at now and two, its heartbreaking bc that means that almost every hero wanted to try out being a hero again despite

2.

Text - theladyspanishes I think the core of that scene for me is, when you're insane like me and you go through it frame by frame, you can work out that Gazerbeam defeated the omnidroid twice - the only super we have enough information to confirm did so. I always wondered about his body in the cave, how and why he got the password... But it makes sense. This thing goes haywire, gets an upgrade, and goes haywire again? He must have been hella suspicious! So he does what any good superhero would d

3.

Text - swan2swan Also Gazerbeam probably has X-ray vision-so he not only survived long enough to defeat the Omnidroid, he had the ability to see Syndrome entering the password. animagix101 Holy guacamole! I should pay more attention, I don't think I got any of that stuff! nigga-kun does anyone think about the fact that now mr. incredibles has to live w/ the fact that all his friends getting killed by syndrome could have been avoided if he had just been nicer to syndrome from the beginning

5.

Text - breefolk-hates-staff ^l was thinking that from the beginning reading this and was shocked it went through so many comments before anyone pointed that out. Syndrome waited until his machine was almost ready to go before asking Bob to come to Nomanisan. He also was surprised to find out that he was married to “Elastigirl", which means he likely built his list and went through everyone else before finally deciding it was time to kill Bob.

6.

Text - gay-jesus-probably Also, Syndrome literally didn't find Bob until the start of the movie. He found Frozone and was stalking him. If Lucius hadn't hung out with Bob, then Frozone was going to be the next one lured. There's literally a scene of Mirage realizing that the guy in the car with her target is Mr. Incredible. He wasn't going through the list, he was stalking and finding every former Super he could, luring them to the island, and then killing them, for the sake of improving his rob

7.

Text - and like, let's be real here in the intro Buddy was crossing the line the second he showed up, Mr. Incredible mentioned he'd been very nice to Buddy, via signing a ridiculous amount of autographs and doing pictures and stuff, and that he was not going to risk a childs life as a sidekick (albeit in less words). Buddy literally showed up by breaking into his car, and then stalked him all evening until he was arrested. That's disturbingly obsessive behavior, there's no amount of niceness tha

8.

Text - kiokushitaka reblogging for the last comment because blaming mr incredible for the deaths of his comrades is honestly such a weird take and i dislike how it's framed as "fact" when it's not. it's syndrome's fault and syndrome's fault alone. full stop. he murdered them because he was selfish, entitled, and obsessed with mr incredible to a fanatical degree.

9.

Text - andy-the-anon You know what's really great In the beginning when Mr. Incredible says, "Go home, Buddy. I work alone." He's holding up Bomb Voyage In Syndrome's flashback, he's looking down on him, no bad guy in sight Do with that info what you will

10.

Text - bookish-actor This is such good analysis, but it's also worth mentioning the difference between these two scenes which, supposedly depict the same thing. In the first, Bob is clearly busy, trying to keep his eyes on Bomb Voyage (a fantastic supervillain name!!!), so he is distractedly telling Buddy that he is busy and that he doesn't need help. The lighting is realistic, and although he is CLEARLY fed up with dealing with this obsessive and toxic fan, he keeps an even tone and doesn't sna

11.

Text - In the flashback, it's a different scenario completely! The lighting is all focused on Bob as if he's under a spotlight and it is only the two of them. Bob's pose here is also ridiculously condescending. He has his hands on his hips like a superhero and is looking down at Buddy with contempt and scorn. In addition, when he turns to leave, he dismissively waves his hand as if saying "Get out of here." It's also interesting to note Buddy's position here. His arms are extended either in wors

12.

Text - It's also amazing to me how much Buddy's suit is a reflection of himself. Everything from the black and white color scheme representing his black and white way of thinking, to the huge S because here only thinks of himself. Bob's suit, however, is blue. In addition to being associated with a calming and rational thought process, I think it's also to represent that he's on the side of the police. He's not here for his own glory, he's essentially working as an extension of the police force

13.

Text - littlewitchlingrowan Also, let's not forget when Bob is catching Bomb Voyage and trying to keep Buddy from yeeting himself towards almost certain death, he's on his way to his own wedding. That makes two things abundantly clear: Bob doesn't have an aversion to working with other people. Remember when he runs into Elastigirl earlier in the day? She reminds him not to “forget", and he promises he won't. They were standing over a thief they ended up accidentally nabbing together, or so we th

14.

Text - than fine with a partner because he married his. The other is that, Bob is trying to protect Helen. She may be more than capable of handling herself, as she flirtatiously reminds Bob on the rooftop just hours before their nuptials. But the one thing that's priceless to the Supers are their secret identities. With Syndrome following Bob begging to partner with him, it puts Helen in danger. A fanatical fan like that can end up possessive, meaning once Syndrome discovers her, could see her a

15.

Text - Which leads me to my next point. Blaming Bob for all his friends getting killed is buying directly into Syndrome's revisionist history of Bob “rejecting" him. Remember, if Syndrome hadn't shown up to Mr. Incredible busting Bomb Voyage, none of the ensuing chaos with the bomb on the rocket boots getting dropped on the train tracks and blowing them up, causing Bob to lose Bomb Voyage, then forced to stop a speeding train, resulting in the passengers getting injured, the attempted suicide be

Text - Hero syndrome 刘 占 ☆ This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. Learn more The hero syndrome is a phenomenon affecting people who seek heroism or recognition, usually by creating a situation which they can resolve. This can include unlawful acts, such as arson. The phenomenon has been noted to affect civil servants, such as firefighters, nurses, police officers, security guards and politicians.

17.

Text - People with hero syndrome generally cause an accident or disaster with the intention of then coming in to render aid, and become the 'hero'. The reasons for this often vary. The perpetrator may be trying to validate their own self-worth, or be seen as brave by others. In this way, hero syndrome is comparable to Munchausen syndrome. For example, an arsonist may start a house on fire so they can rescue the people inside, in an attempt to garner the respect and gratitude of the victims and a

18.

Text - korben600 A couple of things: The reason Syndrome found all the other supers first (including Frozone) was because Bob kept getting fired from his jobs, forcing the government to wipe his existence from multiple companies and forcing his family to move each time that happened. He unintentionally saved his family by forcing them to relocate so often. - Two of the biggest differences between the two versions of "go home, Buddy" is the focus, and length. In Mr Incredible's version, "Go Home,

19.

Text - much more important because those were more important to Mr Incredible (since the first two ended the superhero movement, and the last was his wedding). Buddy, on the other hand, only flashes back to "Go home, Buddy". Which is weird because Buddy almost died later that night from a bomb on his cape, and he almost killed dozens of people on a train by dropping a bomb on them, and because of that, he was indirectly responsible for the death of supers. All three of those things should be muc

20.

Text - - Also, on a more sobering note, some have brought up how Incredibles 2 seems a step down from Incredibles 1, and while that's arguable, there's some related bits in there l'd like to mention. You know how there were a slew of superhero's in the movie for when they made superhero-ing legal again?

21.

Text - Notice anything funny about that lineup? Anything at all? Okay, here's a hint then. How many of these heroes were working before heroes got banned? How many of these new heroes are from Mr Incredible's era? Answer: None. Frozone, Elastigirl, and Mr Incredible are the only ones who were active before the ban, or more specifically, were left from those active before the ban. Think about it, Elastigirl was on the news basically continuously, there was a UN declaration on supers, any super le

22.

Cartoon - And it's not like she and Bob were loners who never interacted with anyone, look at their wedding day, it's packed to the gills with capes (and possibly some secret identities too): So...what happened? Syndrome happened. This isn't just some serial killer picking people at random, Syndrome systematically wiped

23.

Text - out an entire community of people, arguably, an entire generation of supers, since Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack seem to be the only kid-supers in existence. That's why Elastigirl is so emotional when she's introduced to these new supers, she thought her people, barring her family and Frozone, were wiped out by Syndrome. And in a way...they were. Nobody's left from her era of superheroics. None of her old friends survived. It's just her, Bob, and Frozone left out of what was once a thriving

24.

Text - one by one until the population is decimated. The members of the community have to intervene themselves to slow/stop this "syndrome" because the government, which was supposed to protect them, is unaware of, or is blatantly ignoring the crisis until it starts hurting the "normal" community. Because of this "syndrome" th just this gap in this community, where an entire generation is just..missing...with the few survivors having to counsel the new, untouched generation, and helping them ach

25.

Photograph - And take a look at that wedding shot again.

26.

Photo caption - Anyone look familiar? If it's to hard to tell, at least four of the people Syndrome killed were at Bob's wedding. Mr Incredible wasn't watching supers getting killed, he was watching his friends getting killed. People he trusted enough to share his secret identity with people he trusted enough to share his wife's secret identity with. Hell, our poor boy Gazerbeam got a front row seat with Edna and their NSA agent that's usually reserved for family only.

27.

Text - And that's bad enough, but something else occurred to me, Bob and Helen clearly haven't been keeping in close contact with their superheroic friends, Bob asks Frozone if he's been keeping in contact with Gazerbeam, implying they haven't talked in a while. Additionally, Bob's life, and the superhero community's life, went tits up basically immediately after his wedding night. So if there was any point for them to stop talking with other supers, it'd be then. So what does that mean? It mean

Design Failures that Deserve Some Blame

Designing things is hard, and people aren't very good at it. Whether it's an accidentally creepy sign or some painful looking stairs, we make things that probably could have used some extra input. This world is full of design failures that were someone's fault. For some more professional buffoonery, here are some "you had one job" moments of occupational incompetence.
