40 Screwups So Bad They're Good

40 Screwups So Bad They're Good

In my opinion, there aren't too many things that are more entertaining in this world than watching other people mess up really, really badly. If you could use a good laugh today, check out these folks who failed terribly. I honestly don't even know how people can make these mistakes.

1. I guess the logic here is fine, this person just needs a little more context. I wish the NFL was around at the same time as the founding of the U.S. I think George Washington would've made a great linebacker.

2. That's not how you cook a pizza

That's how you cook pizza when you're drunk though.

3. Those cakes aren't thatexpensive, are they?

Maybe they can apply the 30 second rule...

4. My biggest question about this situation is why he decided that taking a snapchat was at the top of his priority list. I would recommend just going to the dry cleaners next time.

5. Is it just me, or does this dog have a tiny head?

6. I will say, that is a pretty high tech looking air freshener. I wouldn't be surprised if it was equipped with wifi so it can be controlled directly from your phone. It is 2017, after all.

7. I'm sure they handled it with class and maturity. 13-year-olds are known for their tact and forgiveness. Lol just kidding... She totally got roasted and will never live it down.

8. As they say, don't count your chickens before they hatch — know what I mean?

What else is social media for other than showing off? Be careful when karma strikes, though.

9. Mom who have had one too many glasses of wine

Either that or she needs new glasses. It's okay, one time I tried to pet a woman's coat, thinking it was a sheltie...

10. Warning signs only exist because they need to, which means some kid accidentally swallowed a rubber ball while trying to bounce some gum against the floor. They should probably get two gumball machines.

11. That's an interesting design for a floaty toy...

That looks like one of those super absorbent overnight pads, or the ones my grandmother started using after she lost her bladder control...

12. Since I keep stumbling across these types of pictures on the internet, I feel like I should do a public service announcement. Plastic does not belong in the oven. It will melt. You're welcome.

13. Ladies, be careful when you're using your eyelash curler. I can't even imagine how badly this would hurt. The good news is that she can save time because she doesn't have to put mascara on in the mornings.

14. Hope there's no ash in there

Who cares if it's an ashtray?! It's crystal! Just as long as there aren't any cigar butts in that cranberry sauce...

15. That poor little girl! She's never going to trust her daddy again. And she's probably going to have traumatizing flashbacks any time she watches Tarzan. At least there was some soft foam to land in.

16. Thanks for the gift, Mom...

"What are you laughing about? The woman at the store said that she uses it every day and she loves it!"

17. They're going to be finding pasta sauce in crevices all over their kitchen for the next two years. Unless, of course, the cat manages to lick it all up before then.

18. Something got lost in translation, but it's not inaccurate 

When I go to the salon, it is a pretty high-maintenance process. That's also the reason I only end up going twice a year.

19. I've been waiting my whole life to witness this happen in person, but I still haven't. I honestly started to think that it only happens in cartoons and sitcoms. I'm glad there's still hope.

20. Soooo I guess there was metal in the room

Specifically, there was metal in the hospital bed...

21. Reminds me of the time I had the family meal from Taco Bell all to myself. Good times.

Always remember to take it easy on the hot sauce, though. That's rough. 

22. I'm not sure that I would trust the quality of work coming from this place. The sign installer had one job to do, and managed to mess it up big time.

23. Hmmm... Wait a minute. That's not how spaghetti do. THAT'S NOT HOW SPAGHETTI DO!

24. That's not how you use a cutting board

This is probably the same person who did the spaghetti  

25. Sounds like Dad needs a geography lesson

26. This bike owner didn't think this all the way through. I'm no thief, but if I saw this, I might chain it to something more secure just to teach them a lesson.

27. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that this is a first-time boat owner. How did he even get out of the truck?! He must've crawled out the window.

28. I wonder what it tasted like...

Beef swirl? Liver ripple? Chicken chunk?

29. Well, I won't be trying this again...

Don't worry, I'm sure whatever it can get into, it can get out of!

30. Hopefully you don't need to use that car anytime soon...

Give it a few months...it'll thaw out

31. This is hilarious, but to be honest, I would be so much happier with receiving asparagus than I would be with flowers. Asparagus is by far the best vegetable, and if you disagree, you're wrong.

32. The caption is totally right. Stuff like this is exactly why I still have Facebook. It's a never ending supply of entertainment in the form of ignorant old friends from high school!

33. Something looks a little off with this...

You know there's a problem when the border guard's first question is whether you're fleeing the country from a mob of villagers. 

34. That's a hilarious mistake, but I would be pretty happy with it because that looks like the most comfortable place to nap ever. I bet that BEAR-ly even fit inside of his room.

35. How on earth did she not realize that something was wrong until after she finished screwing it all together? I'd suggest that she should have a seat until she feels better, but...

36. It's the thought that counts, right?

Wow, this tweet literally killed me! Oh, wait...I mean...sorry, I guess that was kind of insensitive given the circumstances...


37. I'm convinced that Starbucks employees' main duty is to misspell names as badly as they possibly can. I'm pretty sure that they specifically hire people who are illiterate so there's no chance of getting names right.

38. Lucky for this professor, it is, in fact, an online course so they never have to show their face in front of their students. If I were them, I might just quit, move cities, and start a new life.

39. Wow, what a design... 

40. It appears that the graphic designer for CNN doesn't have a background in geography, because last I checked, Hong Kong is definitely not in South America. Also, that headline is absolutely terrifying. 

10-Year-Old Girl Builds Herself Glitter-Shooting Prosthetic Arm

10-Year-Old Girl Builds Herself Glitter-Shooting Prosthetic Arm

Every time you hear about kids on social media these days, you kind of expect the worst, don't you? Like, you have to think that they've run up a huge cell phone bill for their parents or started cyberbullying someone or they're just wasting their lives searching for the perfect selfies. Surely there's too much of that, but it's not all so bad. In fact, when you hear about kids like Jordan Reeves, you might start thinking that the future is actually brighter than you expected.

Like so many 10-year-olds, Jordan Reeves loves unicorns and glitter. She just does something different with her love. 

Jordan was born with one full arm – her left arm ends just above the elbow joint. Her mother has been searching for the right prosthetic for years, but has had little luck, especially considering Jordan is still growing.

But Jordan has taken a healthy interest in coming up with her own solutions and has even designed some prosthetics of her own.

She was one of six kids invited to a Superhero Cyborg program put on by nonprofit KidMob, where the kids got to play around with Autodesk to 3D print some designs for themselves.

No surprise, Jordan's love of unicorns and glitter played a central role in her design.

She built a prosthetic she can load up with sparkles, slip over her arm, and pull a string to launch the glitter. 

She calls it Project Unicorn, and since the KidMob event, she has worked with a mentor to refine and improve her designs. Talk about an inspiration!

Check it out in action below!

Meet Thor, The Bengal Cat With Purrfect Markings

Meet Thor, The Bengal Cat With Purrfect Markings

Being a human being comes with so many benefits. When you think about how far we've come, it's amazing. We have giant cities with electricity coursing throughout, giving us the internet, which lets us get answers for whatever we want in the blink of an eye. When you compare us to the rest of the animal kingdom, we're outrageously advanced. Oddly, so many of us like to keep smaller animals in our homes. If you think about it, keeping a pet is kind of weird, but most of us still do it. Chances are you're either a cat person or a dog person. Personally, I'm a cat person, so seeing some insanely beautiful cats really warms my heart.

SHARE this on Facebook for all the cat lovers in your life!

Meet Thor, one of the cutest cats... Ever.

Thor is a Bengal cat.

But what sets him apart from other Bengals is how amazing his fur is.

Not only does Thor have amazing fur, but he loves to do all kinds of things, too.

Look at that face!

Like going for walks!

What kind of cat even likes to go for walks? Mine just lay down or get extremely scared when they go outside.

His owner just leashes him up.

And off they go, venturing off into the world! Is Thor half dog?

According to his owner, Rani Cucicov, he loves to talk.

If you've never heard a talkative cat before, let's just say they're loud... Very loud.

And his favorite food? I would've thought fish, but at least I wasn't too far off.

Because Thor's delicacy of choice is shrimp! Nom nom nom.

And like all other cats, Thor loves nap time.

Because what kind of cat isn't forever asleep?

Let's not forget the fact that cats love computers.

Because they're constantly taking them from their owners!

It's definitely understandable how his model good looks won over the internet.

I mean, he is the King of Cats, right?
