Literal Flying Car Makes First Inter-City Flight The dual-mode AirCar made its first inter-airport flight in a historic and very cool sign of the times. It's unclear who would want or who could afford one of these things, but at least we're one step closer to the mythical "flying car" fantasy we've all had for decades. The AirCar, coming to collect dust in a billionaire's third home near you. 
Ashlee Simpson Caught Lip Syncing On SNL, Band Plays On There's an impressive amount of cringe packed into this short video. It's definitely not rare for artists to lean on their own recordings for the live performances, but they're also generally able to rely on their sound team to not totally mess everything up. In this case though, Ashlee Simpson wasn't so lucky. Meanwhile, the band was more than ready to put on their own performance when it became clear that Ashlee Simpson was dipping out of the scene. 
Customer Believes Computer Never Needs To Be Charged, Tech Support Intervenes There are some people in this world that are hopelessly lost when it comes to keeping up with the rapid pace of technological advancements that this era continues to welcome in. Some customers really need the intensely informative instruction manuals that cover every nook and cranny of how to properly operate a computer. And yes, sometimes that could mean clarifying for the customer that they will in fact need to charge their computer every now and again. I love the twist at the end here from the customer when she drafts up some absolutely bonkers reasoning behind how her computer's charger came unplugged. For another tech support tale check out the time that a wholesome IT bro managed to revive a totally destroyed laptop. 
Everyday Scams That People Accept As Legit Sometimes it's easy to pick out a scammer. Like that email half in Cyrillic claiming to be your lost uncle Rupert who wants to give you his fortune but first you need to send him your social security number and ten thousand dollars in iTunes gift cards? Probably not legit. But there are some deeper, darker scams that have been normalized by society. Institutions we've trusted for years might be happy to do business with us just because we're easy marks. 
People's Favorite Bits To Annoy Their Spouse Just about every relationship is built on a strong foundation of the annoying things people's spouses do. Sometimes that's their inability to wrap extension cords correctly, and other times it's their insistence on introducing their current wife as "my ex girlfriend." We all have our jokes. Is love just the capacity to tolerate your partner's stupid bits? Seems like that's part of it. 
Best Man Roasts Bridezilla With Wedding Toast, Drama Ensues Wedding season is in full bloom, and with all of the romantic festivities comes an environment that's ripe for dramas and emotional implosions to break out at a moment's notice. In this case, it sounds like the best man let his temper and strong disapproval of his buddy's bride get the best of him. What ensued was a rather nasty wedding toast. He decided to consult the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community to see whether or not he was in the wrong. A fair number of people were in agreement that he could've handled the situation much better than he did. There's a time and a place for those harsh words to come out. Probably not best to unleash verbal havoc at the actual wedding. For some more wedding drama check out this vegan who wanted a wedding guest's vegan meal, got called out, and then pitched a full fit. 
Spelling Fails That Beat The Meaning Out Of Words Alright, fine. Linguistics majors who've taken their 100 level courses will tell you that language is an everchanging thing and that as long as someone has communicated something effectively, it counts as effective human communication. But they're not talking about the extremely dumb spelling fails that we all see every day. Calling a terrarium a "terrorism" isn't a profound shift in language as we know it, it's someone who didn't want to Google "thing my turtle lives in" and settled on the closest bowl of word salad that autocorrect wouldn't slide a red squiggly line under. Here are more spelling failures that really shift the bed. 
Marc Rebillet German Supermarket Ad Is About As Good As Supermarket Ads Get To many, Marc Rebillet is "that guy who makes beats in his bathrobe while humping the air and screaming" and honestly we see no problem with that. It's when German supermarkets take notice that things start to get real interesting. Because of that interest we have two full minutes of a man playing food and touching his nipples, which is better than a supermarket ad has any right to be.
