Oh yeah, we've got a fresh collection of fiery banter and insults from the online world's most tenacious wordsmiths. Some people take it upon themselves to deliver all kinds of reality checks, witty insults, etc, to others in the online world that seem to be in need of a quick wakeup. Never underestimate the power of the written word. These folks definitely got humbled. 

School justice is a minefield of extremely arbitrary, always changing no-tolerance policies where you're just as likely to get punished for something someone else did. You never forget a stupid reason for being punished. School is a jungle, and it can lead to what people describe as their school's incident, and can continue on to awkward moments at school reunions.

Puns are a lot like a party guest with a guitar: usually not welcome, but excellent when deployed appropriately. We can't really tell if we love or hate puns, but there's certainly a time and place for them. If you're in need of more wordplay, here's a smattering of puns to fill the pun void.

Man, these people sound like a ball of toxic energy. You have the one dude offering nothing but generosity and understanding to the rest of the roommates, who are basically going around, freeloading, and taking advantage of one's good nature. A kind of icky feeling can arise just thinking about it. Well, the freeloading roommates ultimately learned their lesson, and were introduced to the court system. Maybe that will set them on a different path in the future. Who knows? 

Can't think of a better way to keep oneself entertained while on a road trip, with a buddy. This is just a great portrayal of the friendship between Richard Hammond and James May. 

The Subway employee served up the knowledge free of charge. Love to picture the look of grim acceptance on the vegan's face when they learned that mayo was in fact not vegan. The fact they went through with the original sandwich order anyways is pretty great. 

This fun AskReddit thread has people describing those insults that sound just like compliments. People might be out there trying to squeeze in a dig on you, through the mask of a smile and lighthearted tone. Who knows? Maybe the next time you hear one of these out in the wild, you'll do away with the passive aggressive antics, and ask the person what they really mean. Or just let it slide. 

This fun Tumblr thread explores a notorious art world drama. The drama started with Anish Kapoor being a prick about ownership over colors. Then, we see another dude named Stuart Semple, come into the mix, and take things to petty heights like never before. It's honestly an awe-inspiring level of petty. Art world dramas are fun. 

Everyone should just play nice with each other. But instead, we have dudes like this guy "Evan", who run around and spill negative, toxic chaos everywhere. Evan thought he'd play a "game" with his friends by bullying a Tinder match for the way she looked, from afar. 

Well, that whole operation definitely went on to catch up with him. I would've loved to have seen that date going down, as it experienced all the (intentional) customer service disasters. I wonder if there was ever a point where it occurred to the dude, "man I wonder if all my negativity is catching up with me?" Maybe, so. 

It seems like when you get down to the nitty gritty of just about any industry, there are some shady parts of it that no one wants to talk about. Even the most fun and simple seeming industries like avocados or tropical fish have seriously dark sides. When it comes to how a company treats it's employees, there are some definitered flags when it comes to looking for a job.

While we don't always have the intended answers, we can at least be smart asses about things. Technically correct jokes have the benefit of making the teller feel smart while there's not really any new information needed. These silly puns and clever jokes are technically accurate, so you can't say they're completely wrong.

There are many hazards in this world, and appropriately there are many ominous signs that speak the language of fear. You never know it there could be some hidden mine shaft or risk of monkey attack. Whether they're warning of some totally extreme danger or their scary in their own right, it's usually best to pay attention to spooky signs.

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. 

Man, just imagine walking around and seeing one of these mannequins in one of these bizarre positions, and the reality trip that that'd throw you for? A definite double take would be in order. Can imagine the cops being called on some of these. Mannequins are already eerie enough as it is. 

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. 

Get ready to soak up all this random knowledge about just how wild medieval battle tactics were. It's a true rollercoaster. 

Life is a series of attempts, large and small. Sometimes you're just trying to cook dinner. Sometime's you're trying to change someone's mind, make a point or just impress someone you like. With every attempt there is a risk of failure, and many attempts will dive into a pool of failure.

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.

Graham doesn't play by the rules. Clearly, Graham is busy enjoying life to the fullest. We just need to make sure that Graham doesn't get behind the wheel after knocking back all that Coors. 

Almost 14 years ago to the day, Reese Butler, the founder of HopeLine, asked me if I thought the PostSecret community could raise enough money to prevent the nation’s suicide prevention hotline from closing. The crisis-line needed over $25,000 to continue its mission. I posted a plea on this website and one week later over […]

NOTE: In our traditional April Fool’s posts, we endeavor to make them credible at the beginning, then crank up the nonsense until the joke becomes obvious. But these days, the idea of knowingly spreading misinformation (even when comically false) sounds exhausting. So here’s our notice ahead of time: This is 100% silliness! Hope it lightens [...]

We try to stick to our “no more than once a week” posting pattern out of respect for your overstuffed inboxes, but I think you’ll see why we had to deviate. Jim’s publisher has revealed Chris McGrath’s gorgeous cover art for the second of the two Dresden novels coming out this year, Battle Ground! Battle [...]
