Chef's Stove Hack Turns Gas Range Into Flame Thrower

 

It should be mentioned that this guy has officially stated to not try this at home for fear of starting a fire or losing something down your gas pipe. Apparently a gas range is just one popped off diffuser plate away from being a flame-spewing, wok heating machine. It's probably a bad idea to modify your own stove against the wishes of any warranty agreement or insurance adjuster, but like, it's pretty cool.

Cringy Influencers Caught in the Wild Compilation

 

Sometimes the world puts on such a strange show that it just ends up feeling too cringe to be real life. This particular compilation of influencers doing their various attention-grabbing activities while out in the wild feels like it's right out of some kind of documentary dedicated to providing a commentary on the ills of the social media influencer industry. Sure, not every influencer is bad, but there are so many that have rapidly cultivated notorious reputations for being insufferably entitled

Drivers' Silliest Excuses To Get Out Of Speeding Tickets

It can happen to the very best of us. Sometimes, one can get caught up in such a maddening rush to get to their meeting, appointment, dinner reservation, etc. that they end up completely disregarding the speed limit. This disregard for the speed limit can result in acts of pure reckless driving, or maybe you're someone who ended up going just a few mph over the speed limit. Then from there, getting caught by a cop waiting to dish out speeding tickets can really just end up being a game of luck. These people tried to pass off some unforgettably silly excuses when they got busted.

Text - PressureAwkward · 2h Not a cop, but I had one laugh in my face when I was 19 and got caught speeding. I was doing 75 on the highway at night, in an area that has signs that indicate the speed limit is 70 during the day but 60 at night. I legitimately didn't know I was speeding because of of this incident when I was a kid... my dad was kind of a speed demon, and I was a snitch of a kid. One night on this same stretch of highway I looked over and saw him driving about 80, and I pointed out

His excuse: He had diarrhea and had to run to the toilet so he didnt have the chance to park the right way. So because of his diarrhea he shouldnt have to pay the ticket. Needless to say the par

Text - Inri137 · 1h Not a police officer but I have a story about this: I was a physicist at an engineering school and the older faculty liked to tell the story of a long-gone graduate student who tried to get cute with a police officer. He was speeding (going some 20 over the limit on l-95) and gets pulled over, and the cop asks him why he was speeding, etc. etc. Being a physicist, he explains that the sudden cold snap overnight caused his tire pressure to fall and he was speeding because the f

Text - The cop, amused, asked if what he said about tire pressures and speeding was true, and the young grad student replies "yes, absolutely, I'm a physicist at MIT." The cop then goes back to his vehicle and returns with two tickets: one for speeding and one for knowingly driving with underinflated tires ("driving an impaired vehicle" or something like that). Needless to say this poor fellow became a very good example of times when intelligence is not a substitute for wisdom, and why it's poor

Bride Wants Narcissistic Twin Sister Out Of Wedding

Many folks out there have a family member who just seems continually committed, if not addicted to being the center of attention. Some folks are just born into this world wanting all the attention all the time. If it's a family member, you'll often do your best to adapt to that big personality, but sometimes special, life-defining occasions arrive and you don't want to risk that narcissistic family member making your special day all about them. That would seem to be the case here with these twin sisters. It sounds like the twin sister in this scenario doesn't have a great track record of being selfless at all.

Tumblr Thread: Violet Beauregarde Should've Won Willy Wonka's Factory

Tumblr's wandering minds are always down to lead us down wild rabbit holes with their compelling fan theories and astute observations. Recently, we were taken on quite the rollercoaster when it came to an analysis of "The Incredibles" by the Tumblr world that really spared no details. In this case though, we have a Tumblr thread that puts forth a solid case for why Violet Beauregardewas in fact robbed of a rightful victory, and should've been put in charge of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. 

1.

Lip - evayna Violet Beauregarde should've won Wonka's chocolate factory Have I watched the movie in the last decade or more? No. Do I have iron clad evidence to support my argument? Yes.

2.

Text - 1. She's the most knowledgeable about candy. She's committed to it, and knows her stuff. When Wonka holds up a little yellow piece across the room, she recognizes it immediately. She was able to switch to candy bars for the sake of the contest, so we know she has personal discipline and is goal oriented. Also, two major projects play directly into her strong suits: the 3-course- meal gum that Wonka failed to make safe (gum) and the neverending gobstopper (longevity). 2. She's the most fit

3.

Text - 3. She's the most sympathetic to the Oompa Loompas. She critiques Veruca when Veruca demands to buy one. More importantly, Wonka has been testing the 3-course-meal gum that 'always goes wrong' on Oompa Loompas while he presumably just watches. Violet is ready to put herself on the front line, instead of treating the Oompa Loompas as disposable, and would therefore be a better boss. 4. Her personality 'flaw' is the most fitting for the company. In the moralizing Oompa Loompa song, they jus

Text - 5. Her misstep in the factory is reasonable. Wonka shows everyone a candy he's very proud of. Violet is like "oh sick, that's gum, my special interest." Wonka is then pulls a "WRONG! It's amazing gum!" So in the very moments before she takes the gum Wonka has mislead her just to belittle her. So when he's like "I wouldn't do that" why should she give a shit what he has to say? She's not like Charlie over here who's all "Sure Gramps, let's stay behind while the tour leaves and secretly dri

Text - So Augustus contaminates the chocolate river. Charlie sneaks around and contaminates the vent walls. Veruca destroys and disrupts the workspace. Mike knows exactly what will happen to him and transports/shrinks himself deliberately. Violet had no idea what the gum could potentially do to her, and caused no harm to anyone or anything but herself. Lastly: Can you imagine Charlie filling Wonka's shoes? That passive, naive boy? Violet is already basically Wonka. She's passionate, sarcastic, c

Ah, yes, good old cursed images. Cursed images are one of those strange and unfortunate things that the vast and unpredictable online world seems to consistently cough up. If anything, cursed images are there as a reminder that life can always get a little bit more uncomfortable. The weirdest thing about cursed images as well is that they literally hurt to look at sometimes, but they're also so hard to look away from. If all this cursed craziness got you going, check out a collection of cursed food abominations over here.

Fun Informative Twitter Thread On Bathroom Breaks In Space

It's a lot easier said than done when it comes to taking a leak in outer space. I guess you'd expect nothing less. Everything seems to have an innate tendency to grow far more complicated as you drift further away from this particular rock that's flying through space. Mary Robinette Kowal provides an equally entertaining and informational Twitter thread on the backstory surrounding astronauts' experiences with trying to functionally use the restroom while on missions in outer space. 

1.

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Let's talk about peeing in space. Several people, in response to my NY Times essay, have said that women couldn't go into space because we lacked the technology for them to pee in space. 11:00 AM · Jul 19, 2019 ♡ 73.9K 31.2K people are Tweeting ab..

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette When the Mercury program was proposed, doctors were worried that people would not be able to urinate or even swallow without the aid of gravity. And yet, they still made plans to send a man into space. 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 ♡ 7.1K 393 people are Tweeting about ..

Hello space! Back down. They made no plans for peeing. 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 7K 292 people are Tweeting about th...

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ O @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette Launchpad delays meant that Shepherd hit a point where he needed to go. Badly. He asked Mission Control for permission to go in his suit. After consultation with flight surgeons & suit technicians, they gave him permission to do so. So he wet himself & still went into space. 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 ♡ 8.2K 423 people are Tweeting about ..

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette Later, they solved this problem by developing a sheath, that looked much like a condom. It worked great in testing, but when the actual astronauts used it, the sheath kept blowing off and leaving them with pee in their suits. Was this about extended time in the spacesuit? 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 ♡ 6.3K 330 people are Tweeting about ..

6.

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette The sheaths came in smallI, medium, and large. It turns out, the men were all saying that they needed a Large sheath. They did not. Subsequently, the astronauts called the sheaths were called "Extra-large," "Immense," and "Unbelievable." 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 17.8K O 1.5K people are Tweeting abo..

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette They had to tape a bag to their ass to poop. That worked well for Gemini and Mercury. And by well, I mean there was still urine in the capsule and it stank of feces. Apollo needed a different solution. 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 6.4K 280 people are Tweeting about .

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette Alas, they stillI had to poop into a bag, but for peeing, they could slip on a condom attached to a valve, turn the valve and have their urine sucked into the vacuum of space. If you timed it right. 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 ♡ 5.9K O 238 people are Tweeting about .

9.

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette Open the valve a fraction too late, and urine escaped to float around the cabin. Open it too early and the vacuum of space reached through the valve to grab your manhood. Apparently, the venting of pee into space is very pretty. It catches the sunlight and sparkles. 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 O 10.2K 682 people are Tweeting abou.

10.

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette For the spacewalks, the Apollo astronauts were back to condoms that collected the pee in a bag in the suit. Buzz Aldrin was the second man on the moon, but the first to pee there. 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 O 10.8K O 1K people are Tweeting about .

11.

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette During Apollo13, everyone who has seen the movie knows that Fred Haise got sick. Do you know why, though? After the accident, they couldn't use the regular vent, because it needed to be heated to keep the ре from freezing. 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 ♡ 5.2K O 224 people are Tweeting about .

12.

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette The alternate system caused droplets to float around the ship. Mission Control told them to stop dumping ре. It wasn't meant to be a permanent ban, but the crew didn't understand that. So they were stashing pee in every bag or container possible. 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 ♡ 5.2K O 203 people are Tweeting about .

13.

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette The fastest option was to store it in the collection bags they wore in their suits. Haise kept his on for hours and hours, basically bathing in pee. He got a UTI and then a kidney infection. 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 6K O 243 people are Tweeting about th..

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette Finally, a decade later, NASA decides to send women into space. NOW they have a reason to come up with how to handle peeing in space if you don't have a penis. To launch and for a spacewalk, they developed the MAG Maximum Absorbency Garment. It's a diaper. 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 8.4K 9 506 people are Tweeting about ..

15.

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette The men switched over to using those because it was more comfortable and less prone to leave pee floating around the cabin than the condom sheath. They also developed a zero-G toilet so that astronauts no longer had to tape a bag to their ass. 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 ♡ 6.7K O 300 people are Tweeting about .

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette Peeing or pooping in space is now a lengthy process, involving a fan, a targeting system, and a fair amount of prayer. Fun pooping in space fact: Without gravity, the poop doesn't break off as it exits your body. You have to reach back and help with special gloves. 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 10.1K O 1.3K people are Tweeting abo..

17.

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette Peeing is a little more straightforward. It's basically a funnel, a tube, a bag, and a fan for suction. Sometimes though, the toilet breaks down. At that point, they return to using "relief bags" taped to their ass and "manual urine containment." 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 ♡ 5.3K O 225 people are Tweeting about .

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@ @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette During a malfunction, it is also possible for a giant floating globe of pee to exit the toilet. Fun fact: Due to chemicals, it is bright purple and acidic. Fun fact: Poop regularly escapes, which is why you never eat a milk dud found floating in the ISS. 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 9.4K 628 people are Tweeting about .

Text - Mary Robinette Kowal@E @MaryRobinette Replying to @MaryRobinette All of which is to say that the reason women didn't go into space had nothing to do with lacking the technology to pee. We didn't have the technology for men to pee in space when they started either. And some days, the best solution is still a diaper or a bag taped to the ass 11:01 AM · Jul 19, 2019 12.3K 989 people are Tweeting abou.

Ultima Online Gamer Nukes Fellow Players Out Of Orbit

If you spend enough time endlessly wandering the massive realm of an online roleplaying world you're apt to encounter some fellow players that are just petty, evil masterminds. Anyone ever get baited to wander into the wilderness in Runescape, then get surprise ko'ed, and lose all of your stuff that you spent hours acquiring. Well, with that being said we can't say we've ever seen a player pull off such an unforgettable, hilarious, absolutely vicious nuclear revenge. The attention to detail when it comes to this revenge is what elevates it to being nothing short of art.

3.

Text - yes-sica God I spent countless hours as a teen playing on a heavily modded and roleplay enforced ultima online server. I played Cedric Sartone, simple farmer turned tavern owner who eventually turned it into THE BEST PLACE IN TOWN. It was poppin every night, I was buddies with every adventurer, soldier, mage, druid, and rangor that played the game. After thoy went out and grinded their skills and did their quests, I was waiting for them with a warm fire and plenty of ale. I'd buy their in

4.

Text - Little did they know I had a side hobby, I was brewing massive amounts of the most gamebreakingly toxic poison possible. For over a year I roleplayed with these people as a simple barman, pretended to be their friend and confidant, and then during a harvest festival where every player on our server was in attendance and I was payed to provide the food and drink. I poisoned every last morsel of food, every drop of drink and after the reagent delivered his speech and all of these fools rais

5.

Text - Now this was a permanent death server (hardcore rpers mind you) and some had been playing those characters for 8 years and there they all were, collapsed and dying. Soon they were all unconscious, as you could only die if you went unconscious three times in one day or if a certain psychotic bartender came and cut off your head... which I did to every player in our group of 38. They were all there, and unfortunately so was I. Revenge against what, you ask?

6.

Text - So the server had a pretty strict policy regarding pvp and pk, essentially the GMs had to determine if there was in character justification for any instance of disputed player killing, obviously my situation prompted a call for an investigation. I understood those rules from the start though, and I kept a written log in the game where I detailed my character's building hatred of every single other player character in the world. He would keep track of every little thing from petty slights,

7.

Text - So Elias was always whistling, well I recorded how infuriating Cedric found it in his journal, and soon he had multiple journals packed full of a thousand reasons an unstable maniac could use to justifiably (re: server rules) murder anyone. The reagent who was also the server admin had some ornate cloak with a custom texture, so I wrote like three pages about how pompous it was, and extrapolated what kind of insutfferable prick he must have been for wearing it.

8.

Text - I would just write one or two things down every day for over a year, so I had many books full for the GMs to locate in the tavern basement and read through. The result was that they found my massacre to be in good form and in-character, so the server was not rolled back and instead they decided to reset and implement a new landmass they had been working on. Some people were really pissed off, mostly a handful of the veteran players who had been top dog for several years in their little gl

9.

Text - I only did any of it because my first character was murdered by some overzealous asshole who just used his character to project his inferiority complex. He killed me on my second day on the server because I wandered into the funeral of his friend (it was taking place in the middle of town and there was a crowd, of course I was curious) and because I was not invited and he was a known prick it was found justifiable for his character to kill mine because of the emotional turmoil blah blah.

Twitter Thread: A Man's Observations On First Proper Christmas

Mohammad Hussain's one amongst many unfortunate folks who have had to cancel their holiday plans due to the ongoing pandemic. It's been a historically difficult year, for sure. But throughout all this adversity, it's on us to mindfully work to identify the silver linings when we can. It would seem this guy was able to bring some humor with his observations on his first proper Christmas in the states. It really can be quite the intense holiday filled to the brim with preparations, and all the food and drinks.

I bought myself mint chapstick and I will fake surprise. 20 Mohammad Hussain @MohammadHuss.. 3h Observation 4: Your gift budget does not matter. You can set this budget as high as you want but the perfect gift will always be $10 too expensive.

Christmas decoration - Mohammad Hussain @MohammadHussain My roommates encouraged me to buy my own keeper ornament. They told me to find something that made me smile and that was special to me. I bought this one and I am very happy. It is an everything bagel.

Uber Passenger Gets in Wrong Car, Hilarity Ensues

 

Man, you've really got to make the extra effort to show your Uber/Lyft drivers how much you appreciate them, whenever you use one of the ride share apps. Those poor drivers end up in the middle of all kinds of ridiculous situations with entitled, drunken, or just straight up clueless passengers. This guy handled the whole misunderstanding with an admirable amount of class though.

Times Tech Support Faced Waking Nightmares

There's no question that tech support people need heroic levels of patience. If you're working tech support you can pretty much rest assured that you're about to encounter some hopelessly lost soul at some point that really never should've bought a computer in the first place. Some of these moments of tech support gore are straight up heinous. Not to mention the cringeworthy levels of imminent danger that are evident in these gnarly tech fails. Check out some more tech support gore with this story about an employee being stalled for four hours over a "broken mouse."
