Good comments on the internet are like excellent supporting actors. Sometimes they can make such a difference, they'll steal the show. You may have clicked on a YouTube video by theneedledrop, but you're giving a like to one of his subscribers joking about the guy's bald head.
So it comes as no surprise that there's an entire Instagram account dedicated to this art. Called Comment Awards, it shares the most creative and funniest observations people have made online. Continue scrolling to check out its top posts! And, of course, don't forget to comment on them.

Also sweet that saving someone's life and therefore missing a job interview (which was probably hard to get in the first place because of his background) and have that called SKIPPING. Eff you very much, CBS
When folks at FiveThirtyEight asked 8,500 internet commenters why do they do what they do, the answers, people gave a wide range of answers.
"Our respondents' reasons for commenting mirror the results of a recent survey of 600 news commenters by Talia Jomini Stroud and her colleagues at the University of Texas at Austin's Engaging News Project," Christie Aschwanden wrote in FiveThirtyEight. "In their survey, the top three reasons that people gave for commenting were 'to express an emotion or opinion,' 'to add information' or 'to correct inaccuracies or misinformation.'"
Certain stories, however, generate a disproportionate number of comments, and after years of being on the receiving end of comments, Aschwanden has formed a theory: the subjects most likely to elicit impassioned responses are those that feel personal to the reader (a real-life experience with the subject has made them feel like an expert) and those that hit on identity in some way.
"[My insight is] based on something a newspaper reporter in Boulder told me many years ago," Aschwanden explained. "Back then, readers were still mailing letters to the editor, and they had a seemingly endless appetite to debate two things: who was at fault in conflicts between cars and bikes and whether dogs should be allowed to run unleashed on city trails."
To test this theory, Aschwanden asked the people who took the survey about the circumstances that made them most likely to comment.
"The answers lent at least some support to the bikes-and-dogs theory. But respondents’ reasons were more complex than my one, unified theory; commenters were also driven by a desire to provide their own information or to argue against an idea they disagreed with."
At the end of the day, commenters want the same thing as us publishers — to be heard. So if they have something to say, we're glad they can do so on our platform.
Publisher's AGM: "Now let's not forget everybody, those academic texts all need minuscule revisions before the start of the university year, so that we can brand them as a new edition. We don't want to loose out on any sales at $300 per copy to other students selling the copies the no longer use!"
Nope, your hair must have the root intact to obtain DNA for hair, hair alone has no DNA

There is an answer above. It says that the root must be attached to the hair strand. Locks of Love deals in hair that has been cut from the donor, not hair that has been pulled out by the roots.

The niece is OK, but I would suggest finding a more honorable organization than Locks of Love to donate hair.
Ok, first, the horror of your daughter's question is actually freaking me out, because it's so damn valid. Secondly, get that girl into private education pronto! She's got a hell of a brain and ability to really evaluate the world around her before she's even a damn teenager. What an amazing kid. I'd actually like a twitter feed of more of the stuff coming out of her mouth.
DNA is mostly found in the root bulb so while they could get mitochondrial DNA they can't definitely connect it to the daughter plus a couple hairs on the scene aren't enough to convict that's called circumstantial evidence and needs something else to back it so No.
No. Donations to charity are lengths of hair cut away without removing the follicle. The dna is in the follocle only as its the only part that is actually alive
I was a custom picture framer. I have fingerprints and blood from glass cuts in hundreds of homes. Be in trouble if there is a big art heist in my town.
No it’s only the root that has the DNA and that is not on donated hair.
It’s scary that kids this young have to think about things like this.
I would assume that this child's DNA is not in any database, and she is most likely not connected to the crim in any way, so no
Good point. Fortunately for me, as a bald men this is not a problem.
It potentially can, but more than likely not. Hair matching is substantial evidence, as in they can only match it based on how it appears; unless you have the root. The roof contain the mitochondrial DNA which you can match to specific people. Even then, you'd need a suspect or a DNA sample on file.
I've also wondered that. My DH donated bone marrow twice, and years later his dad (my FIL) found out he had an 83 yo daughter he never knew about when he took a DNA test 🤣. My FIL is 74!
Locks of Love sell their wigs and hair pieces to those who really need them. Go figure.
Not since 2019. It can be sequenced from rootless hair now.

No, because the DNA is not in the hair itself but in cells that are not transmitted with the hair by donation
Hair doesn't contain DNA, only the follicles do. The niece is safe.
No, because the roots are not used and the DNA is in the roots/follicles.
Same thing could happen with regular hair from a haircut saved from the floor. No DNA without the root, I believe. And this is how Howard Hughes got started saving nail clippings and urine.
Sometimes I wondered if it was indeed improv and not scripted coz they did so well on the fly. Especially Ryan.
PoOr conservatives. They sure aren't wanting to comply these days!
My aunt caught covid from the pastor at a small church meeting. Less than two months later, she, her husband and her youngest daughter were dead. And people don't understand why I don't go anywhere.
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, uhhhhhhhh...me.
Kid (about 14yr old) said to me after first lock down 'in the future, there will be no snow days, only work from home days'. I had a little cry
Nah,glasses can be sexy AF...edited to fix stupid autocorrect...
Watching a lot of these politicians over the last four years, I want my money back.
elon musk is an asshole at his wedding he literarily said "im the alpha in this relationship" he's a twat
I am so glad that I quit American pop culture when I was 16, in 1985. I don't know or care what any of this means.
Anyone else reminded of Alfred E. Neuman from the Mad magazine covers?
I am 52yo. I have never sorted clothes in my life. I just shove 'em in the washer. It does not matter.
They make guitar/bass, keyboards and drums as well. Got the whole band and cool transportation to boot.
Cant really say thats funny. Usually adore Ryan, but be careful what you wish for, even jokingly. Ask all the parents with children that disappeared how fun it is.
And the sluttiest girls from high school are now the most devout evangelicals judging everyone's lives.
I always feel so sorry for cop's spouses. But I guess they made that choice.
Kansas. I drove across Kansas once. If I lived there, I would paint all my windows black and never stop drinking.
15 years later when the house is worth $1.5 million: "Hey, we need to talk about that loan we gave you.... "
The year is 1989, it's Sunday morning and you are sprawled on some cushions on the floor in front of the TV, watching cartoons, an open cereal pack next to you. Tonight, you will go to McD, get a Happy Meal with a Transformers toy and because tomorrow is no school, you get to pick a movie at Blockbuster. Life is perfect.
