Toddler refuses to cooperate with obnoxious reporter's live carseat demo.

Toddlers don't care about your dumb news reports on new carseat laws. They care about getting attention now, as this video demonstrates. This 23-month-old toddler is a model toddler, and dealing with him is exactly what a news reporter who unironically says "adorbs" deserves.

People shared their favorite dad quotes of all time, and they're even worse than dad jokes.

The idea of a dad joke is constantly both celebrated and maligned, but as a society, we give less attention to the effervescent category of "dad quotes" in general. Sure, some of the following quotes are jokes. But others are just misguided in a charmingly offbeat or just plain wrong type of way. In short, these anecdotes from a recent AskReddit are delightful.

1. El_Ratdog's dad has some practical advice from personal experience.

"Son, never stick your ass out the window of a car while it's making a sharp turn. Just trust me on that one."

2. ​Both true, both important facts from the parents of Weenies_world_666.

Mom said, "Did you know chicken noodle soup is scientifically proven to shorten the life of a cold?"

Dad responded, "Did you know chicken noodle soup is scientifically proven to shorten the life of chickens?"

3. And ​invullock's dad truly has no shame.

In a room full of people,

Mom: Is there a place for me to sit?

Dad: As long as I've got a face.

4. ​Attenhal's dad sounds a lot like Eric Forman's.

"When you're my age, come visit me at my grave, I'll have "I told you so" written on my tombstone and I won't be wrong"

5. MommaBumble's dad might have a secret.

"I don't have Facebook because a buddy of mine had one and some woman found him and now he suddenly found out he had an illegitimate child and she wants him to pay all this child support and his life is complete shit. It's not worth the risk."

6. At least blackthorn_orion got some solid advice.

Points at a guy wearing his pants below his ass: "never wear something you couldn't run for your life in."

Literally the only thing approaching useful I ever got from him.

7. On-the-sea should probably run away once they reach the shore.

"It's only a little croc, now get out and push the boat off the mud."

8. ​Come onnnn, dad of Troppicalgothaura. Come on.

"I think spiderman likes other spidermen"

9. Dr_Siouxs has two parents in a loving relationship.

"I love your mom's buns. She makes good bread too."

10. And NocturnalPluviophile learned something about their heritage.

"We don't own pets, we're Jews."

Why not?

"We might have to flee a regime again."

Appropriately, America's first gold medal of the 2016 Rio Olympics was for shooting.

19-year-old Virginia Thrasher has become America's first gold medalist at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games—and in that most American of competitions, shooting. Thrasher, who hails from Springfield, VA and is an engineering major at the West Virginia University*, took home gold against her Chinese competitor in the 10m Air Rifle. She will compete again on Aug 11 in the 50m Air Rifle.

*Dear NBC, the "University of West Virginia" apparently doesn't exist. Please update your biographies so angry West Virginians don't yell at me anymore.

Here's everything from the Olympics Opening Ceremony you're allowed to watch on the internet.

The Olympics are about pure, amateur sport and pure, corporate control over every millisecond of broadcast, so here (thanks to NBC) is every piece of footage they allowed to be uploaded to YouTube. We can bring you all the tweets from the Opening Ceremony, we can cover the internet's freak-out over Tonga's shirtless flag-bearer, and even bring you pictures of all the best national outfits, but ultimately we are all digital Olivers hoping NBC will give us some more. Here's everything you missed from the Opening Ceremony that you can see:

1. The ceremony began with these beautifully terrifying insect sculptures symbolizing Brazil's wildlife.

2. Moving up from the floor of the Amazon, this ribbon dance symbolizes "Brazil's culture and diverse geography."

3. Headed towards the cities, these acrobats wowed the crowd by tumbling over a floor that appeared to come to life thanks to digital projection.

4. After a dance routine where white, lit boxes were carried off a stage symbolizing São Paulo, the stadium saw a recreation of a canvas-and-wood plane built by Brazilian flight pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont. (Whom they say beat the Wright Brothers to flight.)

6. International modeling superstar Gisele Bundchen ended her modeling career with this stadium-length catwalk, symbolizing Brazil's tradition of international modeling superstars.

7. Of course, there's Tonga's flag-bearer, Taekwondo competitor Pita Taufatofua.

8. Led by the all-time goldest Olympian Michael Phelps, Team USA brought the biggest delegation in Olympic history, and the crowd proved the world still digs us.

9. Although not the hometown favorites, the Refugee team got massive applause for representing people who had to flee their hometowns.

10. Actually the hometown favorites, the crowd went wild for Team Brazil.

11. Team Brazil then helped in the flag-raising ceremony.

12. Before a little boy demonstrated the Samba to a worldwide chorus of "aww"s.

13. And then the buildings are transformed into the rainforest and fireworks as the Olympic Rings are revealed.

14. And finally, the Olympic Flame found a home that is even cooler than the sun-filled orb from the opening of Game of Thrones.

And that was the Olympic Opening Ceremony (to the extent we can show it to you)!

It's hard to get people invested in the Olympic events that only pop up on TV every four years, but the humans behind the horses at the International Equestrian Association are trying to bridge that gap. They want everyone to get pumped for equestrian evens by using CGI BoJack Horsemen and Horsewomen in this bizarre promotional video.

Finally live your fantasy of horse-headed ballerinas and skater boys jamming in 80s workout gear as they explain the rules of the holy trinity of equestrian events: Equestrian Dressage, Equestrian Eventing, and Equestrian Jumping.

If the actual Olympics are anything like this video, the equestrian events are sure to be entertaining and charmingly weird.

Busker starts singing a popular song without realizing the artist, Matisyahu, is in the room.

A ukulele player with a golden voice was singing the Matisyahu hit "One Day" when, spoiler alert, the artist himself joined in. Diving into perfect harmonies, the busker was impressed with his new duet partner's perfect grasp of the song. Only once they nailed the final chorus did Matisyahu reveal his true identity, and the ukulele man couldn't believe it—likely because nobody knows what Matisyahu looks like.

This was rad. This kid started singing Matisyahu's "One day" and didn't know that the artist was right in front of him. Watch the reveal at the end. He still didn't believe it was him and it took a second for it all to sink in. Loved this moment. #matisyahu #hawaii #oneday #paia #maui #mayjahrayjah

Ever the mensch, Matisyahu gave his new jam partner tickets to his concert.

For future reference, this is what Matisyahu looks like. He has a very recognizable man bun.

Someone edited 230 movies into a karaoke video for 1998's 'Pretty Fly (For A White Guy).'

A YouTuber by the name of The Unusual Suspect is sweeping the internet today after creating one of those videos that's both a) so weird and original you wonder how it exists at all, and b) so "internet-y" that it's equally baffling that this didn't exist 10 years ago. Using a staggering 230 movies(locating lines using this site), he has created the ultimate music video for the greatest pop culture achievement of 1998, The Offspring's "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)." It's as deeply impressive as it is impressively shallow:

90-year-old man gives perfect 90-year-old man answer to prostitution charges.

Nicholas Salerno, 90, of Dennis Port, MA, got himself charged with soliciting a prostitute after he called police to his home to report that a prostitute he'd solicited had stolen a necklace from his home. According to the Cape Cod Times, when Mr. Salerno was informed that police would be forced to charge him with a crime as well, he replied, "I don't give a shit, I'm 90 years old."

Lesson learned, prostitutes: don't steal from a man who has nothing to lose from the revelation that he hires prostitutes.

Salerno reported paying Karen Proia, 48, from neighboring West Dennis, $100 to perform an unspecified sex act on June 22. The next day, he noticed the necklace missing, and decided not to let his own reputation get in the way of justice. Police later recovered the necklace at an area pawn shop.

Both Salerno and Proia have pled not guilty.

The story of how he broke his dick three times is the story Dennis Rodman was born to tell.

Dennis Rodman is many things—bad as he wants to be, NBA rebound legend, the closest thing America has to an Ambassador to North Korea—but he is also a man who has had a lot of sex and apparently broken his penis multiple times doing so. In an interview for Viceland set to Day-Glo colored, hallucinogenic animation, Rodman recounts each of his three greatest penis injuries. Fortunately, Carmen Electra's ex-husband is a talented storyteller, and you'll laugh more than you cringe as he describes how he broke it on a boat, snapped it after an away game, and finally showed 8 fascinated doctors (and a nurse who tried to blackmail him) his "contused penis."

Leslie Jones' hilarious, viral Olympics commentary just landed her a gig as a Rio announcer.

Leslie Jones almost quit Twitter just last month in the face of relentless racist troll brigades, but fortunately she decided to return and become the breakout star of the 2016 Rio Olympics on social media. To be fair, it's not that the Saturday Night Live and Ghostbusters actress is an expert on every sport—her viral coverage has way more to do with the fact that Leslie Jones is way, way more into the Olympics than most people. Her enthusiasm for Team USA and every athlete on it is palpable.

Jones has been avidly following the games nearly constantly since they began. Her enthusiastic commentary has garnered a lot of jokes about how NBC should have sent her down to Rio instead of the NBC sports crew—and enough people made that joke that NBC Sports officially invited Jones to fly to Rio to do her Twitter commentary live from the games themselves.

It's unclear when her flight is, but she's still been covering it non-stop from her apartment in NYC.

She's particularly obsessed with male gymnasts.

So, if you're looking for Olympics coverage and Matt Lauer & Co. aren't doing it for you, consider NBC's newest hit show: Leslie Jones' Twitter.
