Well, well, this quick and informative Tumblr post provides just the kind of knowledge that one would sincerely hope they never have to employ. Yes, we're talking about making an escape from a coffin, if one ever finds themselves in the predicament of being buried alive. Hopefully, it's knowledge that never needs to be used. But here it is anyways. Good old Tumblr pulling through in the weirdest of ways, yet again. 

If you're like anyone else, it's hard to escape garbage moments made possible by shortsighted people who aren't thinking with everyone's best interest in mind. There are crook landlords, people stealing crap, and some massive disrespect just floating around the world. This trashiness belongs on Garbage Island.

As long as the choosing beggars continue to present themselves, it's up to the rest of the world to serve them up reality checks, free of charge. This particular impatient choosing beggar experienced a nice wakeup moment, after pestering an artist to rush a free drawing, after they already received one free drawing. The artist absolutely delivered. 

The world's full of enough troubling chaos as it is. Let's mix it up with a welcomed wave of wholesome goodness. This AskReddit thread has people sharing the kindest things they've seen, or done themselves. Spread that positive energy. 

This company thought they'd just cut dad's vacation time with no backlash. Well well, dad was having none of it. What followed was a smooth, calculated case of malicious compliance. Dad nailed it. 

Man, when anyone posts a wholesome meme they put themselves in the situation where other, potentially more mean spirited folks online will do as they do to make everyone else feel just a bit worse about themselves. Thus could be the case for this situation where a dude runs the sad numbers on the chances of anyone finding a soulmate. He says he has a better chance at winning the Mega Millions. Ouch. 

It's amazing that people still think that it should be common practice to demand work from artists and not have to pay them, but luckily there are times like this when they get called on their BS. The crazy entitlement and unreasonable demands just make them out to be more and more of an utter jerk that no one wants to deal with.

Just the idea of finding a worm in a salad is enough to send some shivers running up the spine. Fortunately, in this case, after the worm was discovered, a surprising, but welcomed customer service story developed. Basically, Sainsbury's pulled through in the clutch to address the situation with some serious grace. 

Someone on AskReddit got a fun and enlightening thread going about the various things that school taught us, that we later learned were false. Better to learn that those tidbits of "knowledge" were false, late than never at all. 

Check out another recent AskReddit thread that we ran, which focused on the most awkward questions students asked in sex ed.

This guy got challenged to make music with bricks, so he went ahead and played The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" with bricks. Um, that's amazing. Had no idea that was possible. 

Предположительно с подачи Рамблера инициировано уголовное дело против "неустановленных лиц из числа сотрудников организации ООО «Рамблер Интернет Холдинг»", которые сначала разработали по поручению руководства "программу для ЭВМ «энджиникс»", а потом, "имея умысел на нарушение авторских прав, в неустановленном месте в неустановленное время, но не позднее 04 октября 2004 года", разместили её в открытом доступе, коварно указав там "заведомо ложную информацию «Copyright (C) 2002 - 2004 Igor Sysoev»". И до сих продолжают этим заниматься "в целях реализации преступного умысла". В качестве прямого ущерба называется сумма в 51 с лишним миллион рублей. Всё это стало известно из постановления о производстве обыска в офисе компании Nginx, которое сначала выложил в твиттер, а потом удалил по требованию МВД сотрудник Nginx Игорь Ипполитов — что, впрочем, не помешало его мгновенному распространению.

Как известно, бывший сотрудник Рамблера Игорь Сысоев начал разработку популярнейшего http-сервера с открытым кодом Nginx...»»
