If you're not taking advantage of your baby's pliability and lack of motor control skills to pose them for silly photographs, frankly we don't understand why you even had kids. If for no other reason than to post a picture of your kid to Facebook every once in a while that is actually entertaining, instead of just sharing "the magic" of a 10-month-old eating pie. Of course they like it -- it's pie.
Kids, they say the darndest things, amirite?? One couple decided to harness the precocity of toddlers to announce to their friends and family that they're having a baby. When they asked their daughter Adela, to tell the camera what's happening in a few months, boy, oh boy, did she ever tell the world
If you're like us (larger than life mo-fos who don't take no guff from NOBODY), you probably find yourself screaming "DEAL WITH IT" at people on the internet on a fairly regular basis. But why type it in all caps, when you could just post a link to a GIF on somebody's Facebook page after shamelessly confessing that you think their baby is "average at best"? After all, if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a GIF must be worth like a thousand million by our estimate. Don't like our math? DEAL WITH IT.
If you've ever had the unfortunate opportunity to come face to face with a goose, you know that birds are total jerks. If you've been blessed enough to somehow avoid all personal contact with birds, we are here to tell you that birds are total jerks.
It's nice to know not everyone just gets bills and postcards from embarrassing radio stations for their former roommates. Sometimes people get the surprise of a lifetime.
This video should be just the thing to lift your spirits if you really wish you weren't back at work already. It's a supercut. Not just any supercut -- a supercut of 77 awesome (and not so awesome) dance scenes from movies set to 'Safety Dance.' It's pretty great.
Continuing our unofficial "Stop Being Afraid of Insects" series, here are 16 pictures of ladybugs. Granted, most people aren't afraid of ladybugs, but they've probably never seen that video of a ladybug taking off in super-slow motion. Or had a house infested with them. They can be pretty disturbing when they're part of a throbbing ladybug mass. But not like this. This is adorable.
If you brought a spare pare of pants to work today, feel free to watch this video. Storm chasers Bradon Ivey and Sean Casey were sitting in their "Tornado Intercept Vehicle" when they quite literally intercepted a tornado.
The long-awaited fourth season of 'Arrested Development' finally came out this weekend, forcing thousands of people to cancel their Memorial Day plans to sit in their dark living rooms, far away from nature and sunlight instead. But mindlessly shoveling takeout into their mouths as they sank deeper and deeper into their sofas wasn't all they were doing -- they were also complaining about the new episodes on Twitter and Facebook. Surprised that a show isn't exactly the same as it was before it took a seven-year hiatus, this is a GIF guide to the nearly universal reaction people had to the fourth season.
Oh, were you just planning on slicing your watermelon into wedges this Memorial Day weekend? We regret to inform you that plain old wedges are now kind of lame.
Let this video be your inspiration/motivation for the day (or perhaps the rest of your life). Scott was born with cerebral palsy. Despite doctors telling his mother when he was a baby that he would be a "vegetable," Scott works out at the gym, and can lift bigger weights than we can. He also walks on a treadmill, which is more cardio than we've done in the past three years or so.
Yet another reason we are more than happy to just google something -- Siri is a real jerk. This compilation of Vine videos from artist Ridd Sorensen might be a slight exaggeration, but we think he's got the gist of it right
