This is the USA. Kudos to dad for being a boss, but it would have cost him $5000 to $10000 for an ER visit. Extra motivation.
A real dad. His kid was staring at his phone and would have been clobbered.
I won free tickets to the local ball park in grade school for having good grades. My parents bought two extra tickets for one of the games for a family outing. The other game, my dad took me. I hated baseball, but I got to spend time with my dad, and he bought me snacks from the vendor, which was fun. That was one of the few times we actually enjoyed being together. At any rate, had smartphones been a thing then, I'd have had my nose stuck in it like this kid.
That is parent I nstinct. No thought. Just action. My kids are grown and gone and I still fling my arm over the passenger seat if I have to stop short.
I'll bet that was one Hell Of a bruise on dads arm. Better than his kids face
it's gasoline. 96.9 cents/litre. right now gas is $2.07/litre - Canada

Load More Replies...It is believed that cognitive abilities are the thing that distinguishes a human being from an animal. That seems to make sense, considering there are definitely animal species with way better physical abilities, including those faster, stronger, or with way more heightened senses.
This universal theory aside, the descriptions of what makes us human would likely differ from person to person. And if I was to come up with one based on the pictures on the list, it would likely be something along the lines of “doing one’s best, often encountering something unexpected”.
Some of the situations in these pictures are indeed quite perplexing, but that might also be due to lack of context and the factor of surprise. For instance, a group of Ronald McDonalds in a parking lot might make more sense when you know that they’re shooting an ad in the area; however, without any context, it simply looks like a very confusing dream.
That's not metal, that's punk. And punk is not dead (neither Metal \m/)
Load More Replies...My ex-boyfriend's brother used to wear his hair like this. I dreaded it in the early '90's for him and it looked AWESOME! He was the funnest guy.
Load More Replies...I have a pic of my son doing this with his hair on his 1986 Camaro. He's 26
I'm a metalhead with hair down half my back. For a concert of a band we were friends with, my friends helped me form spikes. I asked the bus driver if I'd have to pay for the seat behind me as nobody could sit there. They laughed it off and told me that "with such an entrance, I should let you ride for free". Ah, good times. <3
Been there, the real problem is making sure all your hair's completely out when you close it.
Spoilers are a real, useful thing. The problem is that because of their real origins they are stuck on a lot of vehicles that do not need them to give the illusion they are faster / more powerful than they are. On Forumula 1 cars pretty much the whole car is designed for downward force and they say that at high speeds one could drive upside down due to force from wind being more than weight of car. https://thevarsity.ca/2022/11/20/could-a-formula-one-car-drive-upside-down/#:~:text=Formula%20One%20cars%20generate%20so,less%20impossible%20than%20we%20imagine.
Load More Replies...The incongruity theory is arguably one of the main reasons why we find certain unexpected things funny. It is one of the three main theories of humor, together with the superiority and relief theories, which is based on the way we perceive the world and the way it actually is—the humor in that arises from when reality violates our mental patterns and expectations. For example, we see something that we didn’t expect to see in that place (because of certain expectations or the way we typically perceive that given environment) and we find it amusing.
Professor of Philosophy at Bucknell University, Sheila Lintott, pointed out that “The incongruity theory purports to define the formal object of comic amusement, which it locates in certain kinds of incongruity. The superiority theory is concerned with the affective response that often accompanies comic amusement, which it maintains is an enjoyable feeling of superiority to the object of amusement. Finally, the relief theory focuses on the expression of comic amusement in laughter, which it considers a welcome release of pent-up tension and energy.”

Bill Bailey, standing next to t - rex, is taking a picture of a slightly downgraded Cersie who is being carried by sunburnt Ood from Doctor Who - that should clarify everything....
A lot of the people that take part in the Semana Santa processions in Spain wear hoods. They're meant to be a sign of mourning for the death of Christ and of shame for their personal sins.

Load More Replies...My cousin married the lead singer of a grunge band. They're relatively well known, and he was on Letterman at least twice. The first Christmas after they got married, my technologically phobic grandma bought all of the younger adults and teens one of the band's CDs and a portable player. Grandma didn't like any music, and had no idea about portable CD players. But my cousin married this man, so Grandma did her part. I can only imagine the sales clerk trying to help her!
Grandma, I forgot my skateboard, can you please bring it to me? Grandmas rock!
I hope she is waiting for her grandson at the bus stop or something like that. Injuries do not heal very well at that age. source - me - not quite yet that age but trying to get there.
Why it has to be a grandson and not granddaughter?
Load More Replies...Prof. Sheila Lintott added that, “We might say that the incongruity theory focuses on the cognitive aspects, superiority the emotive, and relief the physical [aspects] of comic amusement.” And that’s where the cognitive abilities that differentiate a human being from an animal seemingly come in handy, as they allow us to perceive humor through incongruity theory.
The person behind kinda looks like Snape if someone shaved his eyebrows off and he drew them a little too high-

According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, the incongruity theory is currently the dominant theory of humor in philosophy and psychology. The encyclopedia revealed that the first person to use the term incongruous in this context was Scottish philosopher and poet, James Beattie, in the late 18th century.
He believed that the reason for humorous laughter was “two or more inconsistent, unsuitable, or incongruous parts or circumstances, considered as united in one complex object or assemblage, as acquiring a sort of mutual relation from the peculiar manner in which the mind takes notice of them”. And indeed, a seemingly fragile elderly woman with a skateboard in her hand or a homeless person sitting on the ground with VR glasses sure feel incongruous enough to evoke a giggle.
reminds of that other pic where the kid ran into a oiled up body builder and you could see the kids silhouette on the mans thigh 🤣
Ew. I'll never understand why people use fake tan, most of the time it looks awful and it stains everything; clothing, bedding, towels etc.

Or better yet pretend to hold the door open and close it right as the person gets there. I have said thank you to someone as the door was slamming in my face. Talk about awkward. 😆
This guy's whole channel is silly pranks like this; my favorite has to be when he left a waiter a "huge tip" in the form of a quarter the size of a large serving tray
Reminds me of that old insult, “If my dog had a face like yours, I’d shave his….”
"Why are his ears backwards! What kind of accident did he have?!?!?!"
Even though he didn’t refer to it as incongruous, German philosopher Immanuel Kant also expanded on this theory of humor, emphasizing that even though it stimulates our brain, it doesn’t provide us with any useful information. As pointed out by the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, according to him, a joke might amuse us by evoking and dissipating thoughts, and such “jostling of ideas” results in “physical jostling of our internal organs”, which we enjoy.
It’s pretty safe to say that viewing pictures of humans doing human things hardly provides us with any useful information. It does, however, make our bodies move once we start laughing looking at the image, and a hearty laugh is something most of us arguably enjoy.

CNN Health seconded the idea that people enjoy a good belly laugh and pointed out that it can have a positive effect on their well-being and even relationships. Studies reveal that couples satisfied with their relationships laugh more than those who are seemingly less content. Moreover, individuals in general tend to laugh more when they’re around other people—a person is reportedly 30 times more likely to laugh when they’re with someone else compared to being on their own.
Barber school. Practicing on each other. They'll lose a bit more hair with each new skill, until they are clean shaven.
My only guess is that this is the hair and make-up station on a movie set. Either that or they all lost a bet.
That hurts just looking at it, can't imagine what it felt like IRL.
Didn't know a photo could literally cause me pain.... but I felt that. Everyone felt that. PAIN

I saw some crazy stuff when I visited Cali. Dude looked like he was stuck on the streets. Brings his trash bag into the coffee shop and pulls out an brand new iphone and MacBook. Tried to decide after that "homeless or Berkeley"
Load More Replies...y'all really think homeless people are homeless their whole lives and are still living in the 1300s huh? rancid. I had a new phone and laptop as a homeless person bc my mom had a free phone and wanted to make sure i could call her and access the modern world, and i had an old laptop from before i was homeless. also, those things are still cheaper than getting a place to live. also also, homeless peoplel do not owe anybody a f*****g performance of an 'adequate level of poverty' in order for you to grant us your belief that we're 'really' homeless. tf. tf fr. jjesus. y'all really think people choose to live outside or in an abusive institution? you try it then. try it and then tell me someone would choose that life.
A lot of people who find themselves in a homeless situation have a great many belongings, including phones and laptops or tablets. Those are almost more of a necessity in their world than they are to someone who has a home. That said, they don't possess VR items-because that would not only be ridiculous (they could easily sell it for money), but also far more likely to be stolen or lead to them being harmed depending on where they are. You don't know if anyone else here has ever found themselves in a similar situation-so they very well may be speaking from experience too. Absolutely NO ONE, homeless or otherwise, owes anyone anything or any proof of "validity"-but I think you're projecting a bit much here and seeing things most people aren't saying. A phone or laptop, sure, VR system-absolutely not even remotely reasonable. Yes, I do know, from experience.
Load More Replies...Homeless guy living in a VR world. Maybe he has a warm safe home in the VR world.
This is a Facebook/Meta experiment, enticing homeless citizens into the Metaverse. I've read about it, but I'm still unclear about the point of it.
That's interesting if it's true. The only reason I could see for getting them into the metaverse would be a cheap source of testing. Like; here play with this for an hour or two and we'll give you lunch.
