Volvo Truck Emergency Brake In Action That kid was playing with fire. Christ. The difference of mere inches ended up saving that kid's life. The poor driver must've had the scare of a lifetime. Kudos to the Volvo truck's emergency brake, and double kudos to the driver's reaction time. 
The McGurk Effect Is Some Black Magic Audio-Visual Trickery As explained in this video, the mouth movements you see can influence how you hear a particular sound, even if it's the same sound. It's the McGurk Effect at work, and much like Yanny/Laurel or that damn blue/gold dress it just makes us feel stupid to know how dumb our brains are. 
Weird and Self-Defeating Failures of Design It's easy to overlook a potentially destructive error. Any one of us could have accidentally installed that toilet in the center of a room or chose Disney font for a funeral home. Okay, maybe most of us would haven't let that slide, but we all know someone who would. There are a fair share of design failures that deserve some blame. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 
Senior Manager Gets Employee Fired, Employee Digs Up Manager's Dirty Past If you have skeletons hanging out in your closet, it's probably best to not make it your personal mission to get an employee terminated over a whole bunch of nonsense. In this case, the employee did a little research on their old senior manager after being fired, and ended up learning that the senior manager had a bit of a troubled, secret past. Suffice to say, that was it for the senior manager, and the employee ended up being offered their gig. 
Double Take Images of Weird Perspective Our eyes are doing the best they can, but sometimes they get in a little trouble. Just one off angle, a misplaced shadow, or weird reflection can have our brains reeling to make sense of double take images of intriguing perspective. It's a world of incomplete buildings, people with dogs for faces, and magically disappearing stuff. And all it takes is some strange perspective. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Missing legs 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. looks empty, is full 25. 
Omega Karen Pesters Employee, Employee Wastes Karen's Time People that mistreat other people working customer service jobs are the absolute worst. Working a customer service gig is already innately tough. You're regularly subjected to fiery tempers and entitlement. With that being said, sometimes the folks working the customer service gigs push back a bit. Take this dude for instance. They'd had it with entitled Omega Karen's antics, so they decided to waste some of Karen's precious time. 
Horrible Things That Are Somehow Legal There exists a crappy balance between legality, convenience and profitability that we run into every day. Whether it's a company making their infrastructure deliberately confusing, someone making claims that are technically not unprovable, or slight miserable inconveniences, some stuff just feels like it shouldn't be allowed. For some intriguing adventures, here are things people later found out were illegal. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 
Tumblr User Discovers "Diet Soup", Hilarity Ensues You've got to be careful with those YouTube diet recipe videos. Regardless of whether or not the "diet soup" is actually a thing in this strange universe, the comments section delivered nothing but an onslaught of comedy gold. Many of us have had our unfortunate experiences muddling through gnarly phases of indigestion and flatulence upon trying funky foods that are reportedly healthy. Sometimes the body just acts up in unexpected ways. And whatever you do, pray for that poor dude at the end. Pray for him, ya'll. Check out some more gold from the world of Tumblr with this thread about becoming an Ant God. It's as fun as it sounds. 
People's Worst First Date Stories The whole dating scene is a wildly unpredictable one. Too many times unsuspecting folks can fly blind right into nothing short of a waking nightmare. Dating apps can certainly play a part in this vicious cycle. It's as if the person you spent all that time exchanging virtual pleasantries with before actually meeting, was nothing more than a work of fiction. If you ever find yourself in the middle of a date that is erring comfortably on the side of absolute disaster, then you'd best dip ship like there's no tomorrow. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 
Worst Scams That Young And Gullible People Fell For This life is a wild emotional rollercoaster that chucks curveballs our way on a stubbornly consistent basis. If it seems like things are running along smoothly and you haven't hit a bump in the road for a while, maybe you've finally gained all the wisdom that you can, or life is just taking it easy on you for a hot second. With that being said, many of us have fallen prey to the shadiest and sneakiest of scams when we were young, gullible, and blissfully ignorant. This AskReddit thread pays homage to those unfortunate scams that preyed upon the young souls of the world when they just didn't know any better. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 
Woman On Shopping Network's Desperate For High Bidders We're not sure what frequency this woman was operating under at the time of this desperate shopping network moment. Hopefully someone in her inner circle gave her a little wakeup call, and let her know that nobody in their right mind was going to buy her ring for her asking price.
