weird

Life is full of weird moments that we just accept as fact. But does anyone ever stop and question them? Why is it that the only helicopters we ever see in movies explode within two minutes, and why do headphones get tangled within the first minute of taking them out of the box? These funny illustrations show a bunch of those weird situations in life that we just accept as fact, but really make us say "WHY?!"

There are some things that seem to be a right of passage once you reach a certain age. Whether it's texting with your index finger only, eating certain foods, or using specific phrases, the younger generation will always have something to mock their elders about. These hilarious tweets about the things people do once they reach the age of 40 prove that we're all the same and that some things in life just can't be avoided! 

Kids say some crazy things, which make us laugh and roll our eyes. But sometimes, kids say some super creepy stuff which can weird you out and make you question everything. A Reddit thread asking parents to share things their kids did, which suggested they may have lived a past life, revealed some truly terrifying answers. Scroll through for some creepy stuff and decide whether you think these kids are speaking from the beyond.

While most of us work your average nine to five job as a lawyer, a postman, a nail technician, or a teacher, thousands of people out there are working pretty obscure jobs. From regulating cheese to moving ships in and out of harbors to even being a chimney sweep (yes that's still a thing apparently), these people share the obscure jobs they have and the reactions they get when they tell people what they do. Some of them are pretty bizarre! 

Job interviews are tricky business, both for the employer and potential employee. Being able to find the balance of finding out as much as you can about the person you're interviewing whilst abiding by the law isn't always easy, and sometimes, interviewers f*ck it up big time. A Redditthread asked people to share the weirdest, most inappropriate, or most unexpected thing you were asked during a job interview and some of them are truly unbelievable and definitely illegal.

Romance is an art. You might think you're doing something that will impress the object of your desire, but in fact, you're just being creepy. The women of Reddit have come forward to share the creepiest and weirdest things guys have done to impress them and there are some real gems. We've compiled the best ones for you below. 

There are some real crazies in this world and some people have a knack for attracting them. Whether it's weird partners, friends, or delivery drivers, there are some true characters out there. A Reddit thread asking people to share their worst cases of "I attract weird people" has revealed some shocking stories of just how weird people can be.

Facebook is an endless world of some utterly bizarre crap and one of its strangest gems is a page we've come across called 'Toilets With Threatening Auras.' Confused? Well, according to its description, it's basically a place for the public to post their pictures of uncomfortable toilets in order to bring awareness to scary-looking bathrooms. We didn't know this was a thing, but now that we do, we can't stay away. You're welcome! 

And, if you missed our first collection of weird and wonderful toilets (more emphasis on weird than wonderful) then check them out here. 

Wait...what? Did we really read that correctly? 

Gizmodo has reported that teens on the popular TikTok app, are now dipping their "jewels" in soy sauce. 

We don't really know where to begin on this one. Apparently, someone took a report from 2013, on a study that discovered not only the mouth is able to have taste receptors that are sensitive, but several parts of the body including the stomach, lungs, brain, and testicles are all sensitive to umami. Umami, the Business Insider defines it as "the amino acid taste of soy sauce."

So, there you have it. People are dipping their testicles into soy sauce to test out their taste receptors down there. 

If by some reason you're compelled to look into these #soysaucechallenge... here you go.

Is it just us or are these viral challenges just getting more bizarre and icky? 

Other than Google Maps, we don't really think about maps too much anymore. Luckily, there are still a few beautiful nerds out there making them and they're pretty great. Here are some funny maps that will definitely put a smile on your face.   

2021 is looking ominous...

Artist Inges Bizama Toledo has created a comic for the New Year! However, unlike most optimist posts about the New Year, this one is feeling a bit more ominous... and we love it. 

And as Inges Bizama Toledo writes in his Instagram post, "as every year all I can do is thank you for your support and wish that this new year is better than what happened and worse than next."

Happy 2020, everyone!
