Wild stag's going to be in so much trouble when his deer lady sees what's on his head. D'oe!

A red deer stag in the Scottish Highlands was photographed with a curious accessory on his antlers. Oh, deer! Looks like the stag party got out of hoof! This guy went buck wild!

*Homer Simpson voice* — "D'oe!"

Insert more puns here.

According to the BBC, the deer "snagged the item of underwear while passing a washing line," which is an extremely boring explanation for the funniest woodland image since Yogi Bear shocked the world by—get this—stealing a picnic basket.

No matter how many times he did it, you never saw it coming.


Beyoncé might play a beloved 'Lion King' character and fans are freaking out.

According to Variety, Beyoncé is director Jon Favreau’s top choice to voice Nala in the upcoming live-action reboot of Disney's The Lion King.

She's pretty much everyone's top choice, to be fair.

As of right now, Beyoncé has not officially accepted the part. However, Favreau has made it clear that since it is only a voice-acting role, the studio is more than willing to be flexible and accommodate the Grammy winner's schedule.

Back in February, Beyoncé broke the internet when she announced that she and husband Jay Z are expecting twins with this now iconic pregnancy photoshoot.

DonaldGlover is currently signed on to voice Simba and James Earl Jones is reprising his role as Mufasa. Honestly, the only thing that could make this cast more epic is the addition of the Queen Bey herself.

The Bey Hive right now.

Of course, Twitter is excited at the mere prospect of having Beyoncé voice one of their favorite childhood characters.

Hey, Jon Favreau! If you really want the internet to flip out, you will let Blue Ivy voice young Nala. That would be epic.

Here's why Joe Biden thinks Hillary Clinton lost the election, and why he would have won.

Joe Biden didn't run for president in 2016, but on Thursday—with a healthy dose of hindsight—he gave a glimpse into what a Biden campaign would have looked like. And in no uncertain terms, he laid out precisely why he thinks Hillary Clinton lost.

At an event at the University of Pennsylvania, CNN reports he indirectly chided Hilary Clinton for failing to focus on the middle class:

"What happened was that this was the first campaign that I can recall where my party did not talk about what it always stood for — and that was how to maintain a burgeoning middle class," said the former vice president.

"You didn't hear a single solitary sentence in the last campaign about that guy working on the assembly line making $60,000 bucks a year and a wife making $32,000 as a hostess in restaurant."

Biden continued: "And they are making $90,000 and they have two kids and they can't make it and they are scared, they are frightened."

While it's true Hillary Clinton didn't give that specific anecdote, she did lay out her plans for a middle class tax cut. Of course, by the end of the campaign, Donald Trump news dominated everything—the Clinton campaign message included.

But in the wake of the Billy Bush tape, a furious Joe Biden himself said he wished he could take Trump"behind the gym" instead of debating him on issues. So perhaps staying on message is a little easier said than done in the heat of a one-on-one contest with the tweeter in chief.

Earlier in the week, Joe Biden said he had "planned on running for president" before the tragic death of his son Beau from brain cancer, according to CNN.

"Although it would've been a difficult primary, I think I could've won," said Biden. "I don't regret not running in the sense that it was the right decision for my boy, for me, for my family at the time. But do I regret not being president? Yes."

Biden still might run in 2020.

I deserve a promotion for how great I am at planning my vacations during work.

Someone taught a computer to write cookbooks and its recipe ideas are hilariously weird.

In her spare time, research scientist Janelle Shane enjoys conducting weird, pop-culture-inspired experiments and sharing them on her popular Tumblr. Previously, she used a neural network (a learning program like in Terminator) to come up with names for Pokémon.

She's also been using neural networks to study cookbooks. By feeding it hundreds of pages of cookbooks, she's been able to use the program to automatically generate recipe titles. And while the technology is certainly impressive, it doesn't quite have Ina Garten's touch for naming dishes. In fact, the names it comes up with are hilariously weird. Shane posted a list of them on Tumblr, where it's gone massively viral.

These truly are the best:

Beef Soup With Swamp Peef And Cheese
Chocolate Chops & Chocolate Chips
Crimm Grunk Garlic Cleas
Beasy Mist
Export Bean Spoons In Pie-Shell, Top If Spoon and Whip The Mustard
Chocolate Pickle Sauce
Whole Chicken Cookies
Salmon Beef Style Chicken Bottom
Star *
Cover Meats
Out Of Meat
Completely Meat Circle
Completely Meat Chocolate Pie
Cabbage Pot Cookies
Artichoke Gelatin Dogs
Crockpot Cold Water

Not only was Shane's post a huge hit on Tumblr, it's now going viral a second time after being shared on Twitter by people including IT expert Justin Warren.

People can't get enough of these cybernetic culinary concoctions.

Even better, Shane's AI is now trying its hand at writing full recipes, with similar results.

This is so mouth-watering:

Bake until juice. Brush from the potato sauce: Lightly butter into the viscin. Cook combine water. Source: 0 25 seconds; transfer a madiun in orenge cinnamon with electres if the based, make drained off tala whili; or chicken to well. Sprinkle over skin greased with a boiling bowl. Toast the bread spritkries.
Yield: 6 servings

And I know just the robot to cook this feast.

Bring on the singularity!

Wendy's starts fresh beef with McDonald's in brutal Twitter burn.

If you don't follow a lot of fast food chains on social media, you might have missed the Wendy's Twitter account slowly transforming into an insult comic. In the past few months, this red-haired spitfire has gone viral on several occasions for burning trolls with red hot, juicy clapbacks. In January, they even went after Burger King, but that was just the beginning. On Thursday, they levied a massive burn on their white whale: McDonald's. It all started when the house that Ronald built tweeted this (pretty sad) brag.

Of course, you can't lob a softball like that without expecting Wendy's to knock it out of the park.

Damn! Going after their beef? That's a low blow in the burger world.

The reaction from Twitter was immediate and explosive.

And Wendy's was more than happy to keep the burns coming.

Then Whataburger got involved.

After a rough week, Texas best friends Texas best friends, Cati Domitrovich (19) and Alex Nagle (17), decided to treat themselves to dinner at a fancy restaurant - and they went above and beyond to get a free dessert out of the deal. (Any best friends can convince people they're dating, right?)

The two staged a fake proposal at a fancy restaurant after acting like a couple during their entire meal.

When Domitrovich got up to use the restroom, Nagle told the server that he was going to propose and asked her to take photos. Apparently, their performance was pretty convincing.

"Everyone believed us and everyone clapped," Domitrovich told Buzzfeed News.

And the best part is, they got this fancy plate of tiny desserts free of charge.

Genius.

Naturally, people on Twitter are obsessed with them.

Although there are some out there who think the teens' scheme was a tad over-the-top.

Hey, we're all just doing what we have to do to get some crème brûlée in this crazy game we call life.

There's a penis on this subway seat for a very good reason. Trust us.

A subway car in Mexico City recently installed a "Male Only" subway seat. But there was a catch: you'd have to be comfortable—sorry there is no gentle way to say this—sitting on a penis. Not an actual penis—can you imagine? (I live in NYC, so yes, I can.) But a mold of a penis and male torso that looked like this:

That sign reads, "Men Only." Sorry, ladies!

This might seem like a cute prank by an art school graduate with too much free time on their hands, but it's not. The mold of a penis was put there by the United Nations as part of a campaign to raise awareness about sexual violence against women on public transportation, the UN revealed yesterday.

Under the seat is this explanation: "It is uncomfortable to sit here, but that is nothing compared to the sexual violence that women suffer on their daily journeys."

A video of subway riders' horrified reactions to the penis-seat is going viral on YouTube:

According to UN Women, nine out of ten women in the Mexican capital have been subjected to some form of sexual harassment or abuse while riding the subway. NINE OUT OF TEN. That's horrifying but also, as a New Yorker, does not surprise me at all.

Almost every woman I know who lives in a major city has a subway horror story involving a stranger exposing himself or harassing or fondling her on public transportation. It needs to stop. And if molds of penises on the subway will help—or at least force a few men to consider the discomfort many women go through on a daily basis—then I'm on board.

Here's to airline workers for keeping us safe from 11-year-old girls in leggings.

I wouldn't have to wear leggings on flights if I didn't have to do yoga poses to fit in the seats.

Customer who was rude to a Starbucks barista redeems herself in viral letter.

As a former barista, I know dealing with rude customers is part of the job. So when a customer was rude to this Starbucks barista, he probably forgot about it quickly and moved on to the next thing. Such is the service life.

But the woman who was rude to him couldn't let it go. In fact, she did some self-reflecting and realized her behavior towards the barista was wrong. Then she came back the next day to deliver this note, which the barista, who goes by the name Circle Addict on Reddit, posted on Imgur:

"A woman came through the drive through yesterday and got a little irritated with me because we didn't have drink carriers," he wrote. "Today, she came back and handed me this."

In a letter which also contained a $50 bill, the remorseful customer had written this thorough apology:

Greetings Starbucks Barista! Yesterday at your drive thru we had a less than cheerful encounter. At no fault of yours, you were out of carriers and said you could not take my empty cup (trash). I was less than understanding and my manner was curt. I need to apologize. The thought of leaving a trail of unkindness like that is not the path I want to reflect. Not for you, not for me. You are a young man, clearly working hard to build a fortune and you should be commended. Keep your attitude of cheer & hope. Stay hopeful no matter what kind of people cross your path (or drive thru). Surely, God has good blessing in store. You taught this ole lady something yesterday about kindness, compassion & staying humble. I thank you! God bless you today and all your todays. Debbie.

This is refreshing. Apologies in general are so rare—but especially from rude customers, who have the luxury of never returning to the scene of their rude crime. But this one came back, owned her behavior, and even brought cash. Overall, a solid apology.

The letter has gone viral, and hopefully has inspired other formerly rude customers to do the same, or at least be nicer in the future.

Besides, being rude to anyone who is about to hand you a beverage is just straight up dumb. Be better, people. Or you could be sipping on someone else's saliva.

Just saying.

Dads share the funnest, 'girliest' knowledge they've picked up from their daughters.

It's a cheesy old saying, but it's true: parents learn from their children just as much as children learn from their parents—from patience and unconditional love, to Disney Channel lineups. Redditasked fathers of daughters to share the "girly thing" they now have "vast knowledge of," and they delivered a list of essential skills.

1. DeadVince is down with Princess Sparkle.

My little pony. I could probably pass a brony entrance exam at this point.

2. Scis1984 can style.

Braiding. I have a good on handle on about 10 different styles of braiding now.she is known for her braids at school.

3. ShesQuackers's dad is always prepared.

My dad is the king of hair elastics.

Despite the fact that my two younger sisters and I haven't lived in the area for 5-10 years now (and both sisters went through an extended phase with short hair), the man has enough hair elastics to build an escape rope from the top of the CN Tower. He keeps:

  • a handful in his wallet
  • a couple on the gear shifter in his pickup
  • some on the shifter in the highway tractor
  • full pack in both tractors and the combine
  • a few in each toolbox
  • a few in each quad

He's also damn handy with a blowdryer, but that's got more to do with cattle shows than us daughters. Can't braid for shit either.

4. Moonripple616 can do pedicures with surgical precision.

Painting toenails. My hands are steady as fuck now, and I can paint even the smallest toenails without getting any on the skin. After two daughters, I've become so proficient at it that my wife will have me paint her's sometimes.

5. Every purse has a purpose, as Kingsolomanhere knows.

There are so many purses, and they all have there own meaning and use.

6. Soomuchcoffee can accessorize.

My kid is just one, but my bow to outfit coordination is on fucking point.

7. Csjohnson has a leg up.

Difference between leggings and yoga pants, because apparently from my daughter and wife, there is a major difference. There are also Jeggings.

8. Cabnboy is a Disney Junior senior.

I'm learning about a lot of things but as my girls are only 4 and younger, I have become an expert on Disney Junior shows. I was way more interesting in learning Doc McStuffins' real name (Dotty) than I probably should have been. When the new show Elena of Avalor came out, I was the one who set it to record because it looked interesting and I was excited to have a new show to watch!

9. MadLintElf has a way with the iron.

I never knew that I had a knack for straightening out hair, but apparently I do and she asks me to do it even when mom is home.

10. BighouseJD knows the secrets of the Girl Scout hustle.

Thanks to having a daughter, I now know the ins and outs of Girl Scout cookie sales. I got roped in to being in charge of cookies her first year in scouts. They take that stuff seriously.

What nobody sees: somewhere behind the scenes, a parent who has no recordkeeping or math skills has been turned into the accountant for the cookie mob.

Yes, Sean Spicer took to his press briefing on Monday with a blemish in his face. But since Twitter's already mocked him for his crazy twists of logic, wearing his flagpin upside down, and boldly lying, they decided to let this faux pax slide.

Delta responds to United's leggings debacle with one perfectly savage tweet.

United Airlines made headlines over the weekend after two girls were barred from boarding their flight because they were wearing leggings, which apparently violated United's dress code. The airline has since faced backlash from Twitter users, celebrities, and now, even their fellow airlines.

In a statement posted on the airline's website Monday morning, United clarified that the two girls who were prevented from boarding their plane were "pass riders," relatives or friends of United employees who receive free or heavily discounted airfare. The statement continues:

When taking advantage of this benefit, all employees and pass riders are considered representatives of United. And like most companies, we have a dress code that we ask employees and pass riders to follow. The passengers this morning were United pass riders and not in compliance with our dress code for company benefit travel.

"To our regular customers," the statement concludes, "your leggings are welcome."

After the statement was released, Delta airlines threw some subtle shade at its competitor in the form of a gloriously crafted sub-tweet.

Savage.

Women subtweet United Airlines with stories about the first time their clothes were sexualized.

"On Sunday, United Airlines refused to let two young girls board a flight because they were wearing leggings, which apparently violates the company's dress code. Outrage poured from the feeds of hundreds of angry tweeters, including celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and Patricia Arquette, but also started an important conversation about the sexualization of girls' clothing from an early age.

It all started when writer Dana Schwartz of The Observer posed the question, "Ladies, when was the first time you were made to feel embarrassed and sexualized for what you wore?"

After Schwartz shared her story, women started posting their own experiences.

Soon the hashtag #StopShamingGirls was born, and women from all over the web recounted the times they were made to feel humiliated for what they wore before they were even old enough to understand why they were being shamed.

Many of the stories had to do with publicly shaming and embarrassing girls.

In some stories, girls had to miss school because of things as trivial as short skirts and spaghetti straps.

Schwartz also pointed out the sexist double standard when it comes to dress codes.

On Monday, United released a statement explaining that the girls in question were classified as "pass riders"— passengers who get heavily discounted or completely free airline tickets because they are relatives or friends of United employees. These passengers are held to a higher standard of appearance and must adhere to the company dress code. Regular passengers are allowed to wear leggings on their flight.

This viral tweet is breaking every duck-lover's heart, one bread crumb at a time.

A Twitter user seemed awfully ashamed, at least for someone named @ProudSlytherin, as she destroyed the childhood memories of thousands of pond visitors across the world. Apparently feeding bread to ducks—and watching them mob around and desperately fight for crumbs—is not the charitable activity you wanted to believe it was.

The photo, at the edge of a waterway, reads from the perspective of the ducks:

Thank you for not feeding us bread

Bread makes us ill, as it does not contain the right nutrition or calories that we need to keep us warm in winter

Rotting bread pollutes our water and causes nasty surface algae, which kills our fish and gives us diseases. It also makes our water smell

Do you feel like a monster?

An article from The Guardian in 2015 confirms as much, saying the bread affects water quality and can "lead to potentially fatal or disabling health conditions" for the birds. Here's the most heartbreaking paragraph of their PSA, which you can read in its entirety here:

“There’s also a risk that ducks and other water fowl could get an illness known as angel wing, which is caused by not getting the right nutrients in their diet. The illness causes a deformity in birds’ wings that can hamper the way they fly or even stop them altogether, which could obviously be fatal.”

Your relaxing afternoon with your family? It broke a bird's wing and then it died! But your duck-loving days aren't over. In the future, here are a ton of safe options The Guardian recommends you feed those quackers in place of bread:

  • Cracked corn
  • Wheat, barley or similar grains
  • Oats
  • Rice (cooked or uncooked)
  • Birdseed (any type or mix)
  • Grapes (cut in half)
  • Frozen peas or corn (defrosted, no need to cook)
  • Earthworms
  • Mealworms
  • Chopped lettuce or other greens or salad mixes
  • Chopped vegetable trimmings or peels
  • Duck pellets

Now get yourself a bag of earthworms and make it up to all those birds you wronged! They're waiting with bated breath and it's not like they can go anywhere—you broke their wings, remember?
