Programmer Takes Revenge On IRS Phone Scamming Company This programmer managed to write a script that proceeded to call phone scammers 28 times a second, which resulted in service denial and prevented any future scams.

Tumblr Thread: The Unsettling Reason For Unrealistic Animation Here we are yet again with the wonderful, wandering minds of the Tumblr world delivering just the kind of informative, and unsettling thread that really takes the brain for a trip. Apparently, there's an actual reason why us human beings can feel the cringe chills come on when animation seems to be too realistic. It's called the uncanny valley effect. What makes the effect so unsettling, is reflecting on why we could've developed that kind of "survival instinct" in the first place. Was it because there used to be some sort of alien monster thing scouring the globe back in the day that was a threat to homo sapiens' survival? Maybe so, maybe so.

Tumblr Thread: Ask Culture Vs. Guess Culture No can be a complete sentence. This informative Tumblr thread does a deep dive on the differences between "Ask Culture" and "Guess Culture." At the very least, it'd be nice if some folks read this and are able to learn a helpful thing or two about being a more functional communicator. It can give someone who has a hard time saying no all kinds of anxiety if you continue to ask and ask, and guilt trip on top of that.

Man Flips The Script On Nightmare Neighbors There's no realization as dauntingly stressful as the one where you learn that your neighbors are total waking nightmares. This dude bided his time though, and was able to quite literally turn his neighbors' worlds upside down. Suffice to say, they underestimated who they were picking on.

Guy Eats Family's Donuts, They're Devastated Finally, we have a good old fashioned TIFU that's just believable enough to make this story all the more entertaining. You can all but picture the dude trying to exercise some self restraint in the face of the maddeningly tempting sweet donuts, and ultimately failing miserably. From there, it sounds like he pretty much just committed to robbing that poor family of their precious donuts. With that being said, it's definitely a wholesome and relatable TIFU for anyone that's ever tried to snack on something sweet, and fail to not overdo it. Once you start, it's pretty much impossible to stop, when it comes to those sweet donuts.
