Tumblr User Assumes That Sauron Isn't Sexy, Gets Told the Truth

It's a story as old as time. Someone tries to make a point about popular fiction. Another person makes a bold claim. Then the rest of us all get to learn that a bunch of people have a thing for the bad guy from Lord of The Rings. It's reminiscent of these tumblr users who had questions about gay Klingons or this quick tumblr post that asked the hard questions about centaurs.

Bride Wants To Airbrush Over Bridesmaid's Tattoos

Gotta love how this bride says she doesn't want to be "that bride" and then proceeds to be exactly that bride. Weddings seem to have that uncanny knack for bringing out people's inner toxic perfectionist. Sometimes people like this bride can get so caught up in trying to make sure everything fits their vision for the perfect day, that they end up being way more insensitive than they'd ever normally be. We've got to hope that's the case for this bride. Check out some more wedding drama with this bridezilla Karen who ended up looking like a pauper at her own wedding.

Genealogy Discovery Ignites Nasty Family Conflict

Honestly, it sounds like there were some folks in this family that could've benefited from not making assumptions about their ancestry, and then proceeding to carve a whole lifestyle out of it. It can really pay off in the long run to just do your research, before making those big moves, like assuming you're Native American when you're actually Eastern European. Hopefully, this family was able to put their differences aside, quell the rage, and ultimately make up. 

Check out some more ancestry kit drama with this family that got blindsided by a shocking ancestry kit revelation.

Text - AITA for making potentially "embarrassing" family genealogy discoveries visible on Ancestry.com? Not the A-hole I've been the extended family's amateur genealogist for more than 20 years. I've built an enormous family tree on Ancestry.com. Names and details on all living people are hidden (unless I give special permission to someone). Info on deceased people is visible.

Text - Like a lot of American families, there's a persistent myth that we have some Native American heritage. My late paternal grandmother told us that she was descended from a French soldier who married a Native American woman. Well, Grandma (who was a very sweet lady) made this up. She was orphaned at age 2 and didn't even remember her biological parents. Maybe she just wanted an origin story? I figured out who her biological parents were earlier this year by triangulating my DNA matches and s

Text - I'd actually forgotten about the Native American stories. My dad is no longer alive, but I shared this info with his brother, my uncle. He thanked me but asked, "Are you 100% SURE there's no Indians [his word, not mine] in our tree?" Yep, 100% sure, I told him. He responded, "Well, Ronny [fake name] isn't gonna like hearing that." Ronny is my cousin – I haven't seen him since we were kids -- and he apparently took the Native American thing to heart. He went out and got a bunch of tattoos

4.

Text - I had and have NO intention of telling anybody in Ronny's world that this is untrue. But he did not take the news well. His dad shared my number and I got a text from Ronny telling me to take down any info about our family origin immediately. I responded no, and reassured him that his name wasn't displayed and his secret was safe with me. I'm not trying to "out" anybody as anything. I don't share findings on Facebook and you'd really have to dig through the Ancestry.com tree and know what

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. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with these cooks that bonded over their dysfunctional family members.

Landlord Won't Pay For Electricity During Winter, Nuclear Revenge Ensues

It's entitled human beings like this that give the rest of the world's hard working landlords a bad rap. This landlord was pulling all kinds of criminal stunts. Not only that, but he refused to pay for the building's electricity during the icy heart of winter. That's just wrong, man. Fortunately, there was a moral enforcer around who was ready to do the research necessary to take this landlord down. By the end of it, the dude ended up owing thousands, and it sounds like that was completely justified.

(Repost) NOTE:This post is owned by u/lillesdaddy TL;DR at bottom I regretfully got an apartment with what is in my opinion the worst landlord ever. This man, I will call entitled dick or ED, has the audacity to call himself a good person in court. Let me fill you in. I got an apartment shortly after being released from prison. Happy that som

Text - All was well for the first few months, then winter hit and the heat went out. It took three days to get ED to even answer his phone. By that time his voicemail was full of complaints from his freezing cold tenants. He told me the law gave him reasonable time to fix it. We went two more weeks with no heat using our stoves and camping in the kitchen in our respective apartments. When ED got his electricity bill he attempted to raise the rent on the apartments. Obviously he was not allowed b

Text - This is where my OCD kicked in and I went full research mode. I studied every law in regards to federal, state and city landlord tenant laws and rights. I found so many violations it was no longer funny but scary. I studied building code, I studied the condition of all of his apartments. This was easier due to the fact I was either friends with his tenants or had gone there to repair damages caused by frozen pipes and electrical outlets failing due to shoddy wiring and so forth. ED had pi

Text - But ED had his own plan. January 2nd at two AM I was awoken by the smoke detectors in the whole building going off. I quickly ran to the back hall because no smoke was in my apartment yet but I was on the top floor. I opened the door and was greeted by a thick wall of smoke. I quickly ran downstairs after shouting for my GF at the time to get out of the house quick. I pounded on every door and screamed fire. I got as many people as possible to evacuate but the floor with the fire no one w

Text - Two weeks later the results were released. ARSON! The tenant had used hairspray to start the fire and hid the evidence in a hole she punched into the wall. The very person who had been given money by the landlord. Ironically she was the only tenant who had paid rent in the whole building because she had started moving in two days prior. I had not known she was now a tenant and her sister and kids had moved out the day before. I looked at ED and told him "I know what he had done" and I was

We worked a deal on payment for back rent. I knew he was not good for his word but it was all part of the plan. Once I got his passwords and logins I copied his entire HDD to my portable one. I copied all emails in his business account and printed his financial records on my wifi printer which was next door. After I "fixed" his co

He was immediately investigated. That night I found a seven day notice to quit on my door. My roommate was worried but I filled him in on the plan. Remember I studied all those laws and rights?

Back to that fire, the woman living there was arrested for arson and charged with two counts due to the "accidental" electrical fire on New years day turned out to b

Text - Needless to say spending the winter without heat took a toll on us tenants. We bought electric heaters and informed the power company that the landlord had shut off all the power to all his building and was requiring the tenants to pay for their own power. Well apparently his illegal wiring caught up to him. He had wired apartments to run off each other and the common areas were now attached to wiring in every apartment. This put ED in a rough position as local law says it's the landlords

10.

Text - ED was panicking. He kept losing in court, people were legally withholding rent, he couldn't shut off services, and the fines were debilitating. He kept blaming his tenants and refused to repair things. One by one the buildings were condemned and ED was required to pay for relocation of his tenants by law. Well he didn't. He couldn't! He was arrested for attempting to sell three buildings the city confiscated from him and for selling one that was condemned. ED got what he deserved. He los

I have not seen ED in three years and all of his properties have been bought by someone new, repaired, and have all new tenants who are happy with their new landlords. The old tenants got better places with decent landlords. And what about our wonderful entitled dick?

Tumblr Thread: Werewolves Would Be Ultra-Competitive Neighbors

Tumblr has its fair share of avoidable werewolf fiction, but very little of it has to do with how hard it would be to keep up with a werewolf PTA mom. The bake sales would be absolutely brutal.

Tumblr Thread: Cooks Bond Over Dysfunctional Family Members

Man, without fail the wandering minds of Tumblr always seem to deliver gems when we need them most.

Incompetent Manager Fires Only OSHA Certified Employee, It Backfires

This company clearly made a big mistake when they fired their only OSHA certified forklift operator. Fortunately, the forklift operator was able to maintain enough presence in the face of that unfortunate development, and ultimately report them, and get them fined to oblivion. Sounds like the incompetent company man decided to quit when it was all said and done. There are some people that you just don't go after. Good for this dude.

Funniest Things People Caught Themselves Mindlessly Doing

Most of us have caught ourselves in the middle of a completely nonsensical act where we basically just wake up, and realize we have no idea what we're doing. It's as if some other completely aloof force possesses the body for a hot minute, and makes it do all kinds of dumb stuff. As long as you can maintain a sense of humility, and the mindless action didn't put you in harms way, it's actually a great chance to laugh at yourself.

Me, thinking he was just being a 5 year old and making a big deal out of some minor grievance: "There's nothing wrong with it, just eat the chips." Son: "I can't, the bags broken!" Me: "What does that have to do with the chips?" Son: "No, I can't eat it because there's a hole in the bag." Me: "Yeah, that's how you open it. Here, give me the

Long View of Space X "Landing" Is Sci-fi-ish

 

They say you can't get to Mars without breaking a few eggs. While the most recent SpaceX Starship attempt didn't exactly have a perfect landing, watching the thing from far away lets you see exactly how it straight up looks like a sideways building falling to the earth before very nearly re-righting itself and (almost) sticking the landing.

Co-Worker Scams Free Lunches Out Of People, Gets Called Out

Mooches are the worst. They plead and they whine and they often try to take advantage of other people's kindness. Then when they get caught up in their cheap little scams they cry out from their pity trains, and try to make the people that originally helped them out, to be the ones that are in the wrong. It's ridiculous, and a poor reflection of humanity. This particular choosing beggar co-worker got called out, and honestly it seems like it was a long time coming.

At first I thought maybe he had money problem, but then overheard him laughing and bragging to someone in another department about how he was able to scam lunches out of his coworkers, and he's attempted to bully a f

He said I brought it up, and I corrected him. No, I was confirming we were still good and he was eavesdropping on my conversation. He started complaining so I had if he gave me money for his food l'd bring him something but I wasn't going to buy him food. He started complaining about it again and I got irritated and said no money no food, and

Text - When I got back my boss said my coworker complained I was being hostile. I told him what happened and how he's constantly trying to weasel free food out of people, even some of the people he knows are struggling. So my boss asked around and several others collaborated what I said. My coworker got dragged into the office and now he's pissed that I "narc'd" and how he was just kidding. Most of the office thinks he got what he deserved but a few think it wasn't worth getting him in trouble o

Text - TimeandEntropy • 23h • Colo-rectal Surgeon [32] NTA People that are "just kidding" don't complain about hostility to the boss. He's just pissed his con stopped working so no, I wouldn't worry what he thinks. It's absolutely worth getting him in trouble over when he's trying to get you in trouble.

It's not like you went out of your way to narc on him - HE is the one who narced on himself by whining to your boss about you. Had he not brought up the issue and forced you defend your actions (what did he think was going to happen? That you were just going to roll over and let your boss bollock you for no reason?!), none of this would have happened. Good on you for standing up for you

As Mark Twain said, "Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." So the next time he tries to engage with you and your coworkers on this topic, simply remark, "I'm sorry you feel that way." He's a manipulative mooch, so don't give him room to maneuver, and don't give him r

Honestly, you and everyone else he's taken advantage of should start asking HIM to bring them food whenever he's having lunch if he persists with this and doesn't stop. Then, when he says no/gets defensive, just tell him "well I bought you food and you never paid me, so protocol is that you have to buy me lunch - so where's my food?" Reply 1 257 3 ...
