Hitler was insecure about his face, so he had a friend photograph him in weird poses to see how he looked during speeches.

You look like a man who will be remembered forever as the embodiment of evil.

Hitler had a personal photographer named Heinrich Hoffmann, who would later publish a memoir called Hitler Was My Friend. My fingers threw up as I wrote that title. In it, Hoffman published this hypnotizing photo series of Hitler trying out all the different expressions and postures he would consider for his histrionic, hate-mongering speeches.

Then Dolfie would check them out and see if he wanted to share or delete. Actually, Hitler told Hoffmann to destroy them all, but like the most evil unwanted and unflattering #tbt tag of all time, they've been published anyway.

"Hunnh."

Obviously, if Hitler had appeared as goofy and inept in front of German crowds as he does in these photos, we would never have heard of him. He was actually a pretty powerful orator and must have become one partly through the careful analysis of his own face. Is this where selfies inevitably lead?

"Oh, behave!"

There's not much left to be said about Hitler being The Actual Worst (a term we have to stop throwing around so lightly, people!), but we can at least mock the posthumous images of his face that he never wanted the world to see. F*ck you, Hitler, you look stupid.

"Mein gun show."

It's just out of frame, but he's reaching to grab a back of d*cks to eat.

Aw, baby pooped his pants.

We compiled the best examples we could find of people who make simple jobs look effortlessly amazing.

Take pride in your work no matter what you do.(Getty)

You don't need us to tell you that work can be a bummer – we've been telling you that for years. But it doesn't have to be. No matter how menial or degrading a job may seem, trying your hardest and throwing in a little panache will give you a sense of satisfaction that you never thought possible. Take the people in this list, for example: none of them have the most glamorous jobs, but they do them with such style that you'll want to quit yours and join them. That's what happened to me, but I might be a bad example. I'm a blogger.

1. This cotton candy vendor.

It'd almost be a shame to eat one of these artistic creations, and not just because it'll make your teeth feel gritty.

2. This Cold Stone ice cream man.

I didn't even know they had Cold Stone in Qatar. Now I find out that not only do they have it, but they make ours look amateur in comparison.

3. This ninja dishwasher.

This guy's so fast, he's a dishwashing machine. Like a dishwasher. Actually, he is a dishwasher.

4. This gift wrapper with the tightest science.

I don't want this to sound like a generalization, but the Japanese are better than everybody at everything.

5. This guy, the MacGyver of potato peeling.

To be fair, I'm not sure peeling potatoes is his job, but it should be. That or technical wizard/secret agent.

6. This mango vendor who does one-man Edible Arrangements.

All you need is that onlooker's beaming smile to tell you that this mango man is the mango master.

7. This Starbucks barista who turns writing customers' names onto cups into high art.

It would be even more impressive, except that her name is Lois.

8. This whirling ballerino of Thai iced tea.

This is doubly impressive because Thai iced tea is so delicious.

9. The real-life Iron Man.

We all thought he was an American billionaire, but it turns out he's a working stiff from China. How ironic.

10. This Indian guy who flings bread with great precision.

Someone should make a movie about this guy! Oh wait, it's India. There are probably eight already.

11. This Palestinian guy who tosses falafel with EQUAL PRECISION.

Is there such a thing as popcorn falafel? There is now.

12. Last, but not least (best, actually)… the unbelievable iron-headed brick stacking man!

Talk about ending on a Bang(ladesh)! This guy is a triple threat: he can toss bricks onto his head without looking, balance and carry an enormous weight on his neck, and walk without dropping it across a tiny plank. Everyone on this list has been great at their job, but this man tops them all. Somebody give him a raise! And a neck brace.

"Take a chance/Do your dance/hope there's a new 'Space Jam.'"

Space Jam is great. You know this. I know this. As an adult woman, I once signed up for a Blockbuster Video membership solely because the Hollywood Video I patronized at the time did not have Space Jam. And now, there's growing speculation that Warner Brothers is planning either a Space Jam sequel or a Space Jam remake (sequmake? squeemake?) with LeBron James. Nothing is confirmed, but Mashable has gathered these facts:

FACT: Warner Brothers refiled for Space Jam trademarks in June.

FACT: LeBron James recently signed a deal with Warner Brothers.

FACT: Nobody can get the Space Jam song out of their head. Ever.

Remakes and sequels that come out many years after the original film always make me suspicious. But I'm already exhausted by the idea of pre-fearing Warner Brothers is going to screw up this remake, or sequel, or whatever it might be (a gritty Space Jam drama on HBO?). So I'm going to hold out for the Billy Murray test. If this new Space Jam is real, and Bill Murray agrees to do it, I'm in. If he's not, I am not taking that chance on the new Space Jam.

Francis is one of YouTube's most popular characters. Even after 5 years, many people think he's real. Just this week, BroBible ran this 3-year-old video without realizing it was comedy:

But Francis is not, in fact, real. He is a character played by Boogie2988, one of YouTube's most successful homegrown talents, with two and a half million subscribers. To call him "the biggest" nerd/star/whatever on YouTube is a cheap joke, of course, but Boogie has never been shy about embracing his weight (and more importantly, his struggles with it) for his channel:

He has many types of videos, but for the first few years of his channel, Francis was definitely his opus:

Nowadays, in addition to his comedy videos, Boogie is also a prolific and popular commentator on video games, movies, issues around weight, and the news and culture of the Internet:

As you can tell, although it's also been a major part of his YouTube success, he doesn't dismiss his weight or deny he struggles with it. He's discussed his weight issues, health problems, and self-esteem in many videos, but most poignantly in his moving, charming, and emotional "Draw My Life" video (a series of autobiographical videos many of YouTube's most popular personalities participated in). Warning: lots of feels ahead.

This isn't the most in-depth biography of a YouTube star that's ever been written, but now if you ever see someone like BroBible write an article to the tune of "OMG fat nerd freaks out you gotta see this," you'll be well-armed to call them out if they've accidentally posted a video of Francis.

He's the coolest kid at school!!!

At last night's Reds vs. Cubs game, a fan filmed himself running across the field because he lost a bet. Despite the fact that 19-year-old Justin Buchanan is now part of the club of attention-seeking idiots who have rushed the field at a major sporting event, his plan was actually pretty well thought out. Except for the final step in which he broadcasted it to the entire world, that is. He had planned an escape route and even researched the consequences of interrupting a game, which, according to a local Indianapolis news site, can range from a lifetime ban from the park to actual criminal charges. Here's the footage from the stands:

He stopped to say "What's up" to Reds player Billy Hamilton, who, according to Buchanan, didn't have the "nicest" response. When he reached the end of the field, he tossed his phone up the wall, scaled it, grabbed the phone, and ran off. Here's a closer look at the escape:

He made it to his car without getting tackled, and safely drove home. He hasn't heard anything from law enforcement, despite the fact that the video went viral and he gave an interview about it. According to Justin, he doesn't see what the big deal is:

“I mean, I did it, you've got to live with the consequences, but I don't think I'll necessarily regret it [...] I don't think I'll be in all that much of trouble, at least I hope not. I think it was just kind of something fun to do."

Here is the footage. It sort of sounds like he's saying "Yes sir!" at the 18-second mark.

He should've used a GoPro.

It's both a crazy burglar story and a crazy ex-boyfriend story.

Dude just really likes being under beds, so cut him some slack. (via ABC7)

We all have that crazy ex. Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. We all have that ex who we haven't talked to for five years. Laaadies? You know, that one who broke into your house and hid under your childhood bed for days. Come on, you know what I'm talking about fellas!

What? You don't have that ex? Well, Jason Hubbard of Spotswood, New Jersey IS that ex. He broke into his ex-girlfriend's home while her parents were taking out the garbage, and "camped out under the bed in a spare room for as many as five days." According to Margaret Adamcewicz, his ex-girlfriend's mother, he didn't eat any food and subsisted solely on water. Margaret's husband eventually heard him and called the police.

If this scenario isn't weird enough, it also seems like the only thing he actually stole is electricity: In addition to being charged with trespassing and burglary, he was charged with "theft of services" for "charging his four cell phones utilizing an electric outlet under the bed," which, let's face it, is kind of adding insult to injury. How is that even a real charge? If, so how much electricity did he even steal? Is it his fault his phone was blowing up and he needed to get to an outlet ASAP? All you less-popular burglars just don't get what it's like to be popular.

This is so lovely and Canadian.

For those big blue eyes, I'd pay for 10 parking meters. (via Yahoo)

A young mother in Barrie, Canada rushed to the emergency room when her family doctor informed her that her infant son had a knot in his bowel filled with liquid and air, as most mothers who hear such news about their newborn children are wont to do. In a rush, she threw all her change in the meter. She had to stay at the hospital longer than the time she paid for, though, and couldn't leave her kid's side to refill the machine. She posted about her dilemna in a local Facebook group, where new mothers buy and sell stuff to each other:

Not sell related. I'm at RVH with my newborn and we now need to do more ultrasound and xrays. I put all my chance in the street metre but its going to run out at 3:30. Will I get towed or just a ticket? I can't leave my newborn to run out, and we didn't expect to be this long.

Instead of just answering her question, the group's members volunteered to go out and pay the meter for her. After getting information about the location and make of her car, a total of five women went out and added change so she could stay longer. The mother, 27-year-old Kaylee Goemans, was incredibly thankful and hopes her story will encourage similar acts of kindness. Her baby, 6-week-old Dominic, is going to have to go to the hospital more often, since he was diagnosed with intussusception and a heart murmur, but hopefully the hospital christens the parking meter the "Official Dominic Goemans Parking Meter," and they get free parking for life.

Great news! You can actually stop talking to that person you have almost nothing in common with, and you don't even have to lie! (Probably.)

"Wow, thank you for telling me what you think about every neighborhood in Brooklyn, even though you've never lived there." (via Thinkstock)

It's crazy that polite human society still hasn't developed a mutually agreed-upon way to extract ourselves from conversations. Instead, we chug down our drinks so we have an excuse to go get another, desperately make eyes at our friends across the room to come save us, or lie about having to go to the bathroom. And then, even if the conversation was obviously going nowhere, we get upset when we see that someone who said they had to use the bathroom doesn't go use the bathroom. It's a conversational mess.

Well, Ella Morton over at Atlas Obscura just interviewed Chris Colin, co-author of the humorous conversation book What to Talk About, and he has one suggestion: basically, just end it.

"Whether you're having a lovely conversation or a crappy one, I think that the way to get out of either is identical," he says. "My approach is to look them in the eye with a big smile and say, 'It's been so nice talking with you.' And then you just do a hard pivot and you walk away."

Wait. What? That's it?

Yes, according to Colin. Although, depending on your empathy levels, the execution of this simple move can be emotionally taxing.

"As you walk, you are going to be convinced that you have offended the person," Colin says, "and you have—I would say, 18 percent of the time, you have offended them. But my argument is that we should get over that and know that they will get over it, too."

There's a guy I know who has a similar move, but not as nice — he just says "I'm going to go talk to some other people now." The first time I saw him do it, I thought he was a f*cking conversation magician. I couldn't believe that a person could do that. But he did, and it was great.

Colin goes on to note that you probably shouldn't lie when you say "It's been so nice talking to you." But come on: We all know that, like, 75% of the time, that's going to be a lie. But at least it's a better lie than saying you have to piss.

The subject is female, driving a... well, I'm not sure what the make of car is. Is that an old Isuzu?

It really is a shame when a father catches his own daughter drinking and driving like this. But he's not just a father, he's also an officer of the law. And gosh darn it, he is going to do his job — even if it's not pretty, even if it pits him against his own family, and even if the perp hasn't been potty trained.

Who am I kidding? They'll reboot it in 20 years. Until then, however, get hyped for the finale to the series that will keep Jennifer Lawrence rich until we're all old and wrinkly.

The Hunger Games are entering the final quarter, and a winner will be decided once and for all in the contest between the Capitol and the rest of Panem (no spoilers, but I have a sneaking suspicion it might be Jennifer Lawrence's team).* The real winner, however, is us. We did it. We reached the end of the series. I even went to go see all of them, because I'm 30 and that's the kind of sacrifice you need to make to be able to communicate with people younger than you. Much like the Games themselves, it's brutal, but the important thing is that you survive and you just keep moving forward.

* Unless this ends with Donald Sutherland pointing at J-Law and letting out a weird shriek, at which point she'll realize everyone else is a pod person.

Spoiler alert: The kids' response isn't "They look faaaaaabulous!"

There are fashion photos, and then there are high-fashion photos. The way I usually define the difference between the two is that fashion photos look good, and high fashion photos look like a bunch of deer became human, put on ill-fitting clothes, and decided to put themselves in uncomfortable physical and social positions. Somehow, this supposedly makes people buy clothing. I don't know how. Witchcraft? Probably witchcraft.

Anyway, Spanish artist Yolanda Dominguez, who "develops projects about social subjects, related to gender and consumption" recently put out a video where she asked 8-year-olds to comment on fashion photography. Her goal was to help point out the undercurrents of violence and uneven gender dynamics in fashion ads, and the kids certainly do that. Most of the children's comments were about how the models looked sick, drunk, or like they just generally needed help. In fact, the kids said more than once that if they'd help the models if they saw them on the street. Which is good advice. If you see a model on the street, everyone, remember to help 'em out.

This girl knew how her father would react, and it doesn't disappoint.

This video proves that Irish dads have their dad game on point. Not only is this dad rocking his camo cargo shorts with confidence, but he switches between frustrated anger and raucous laughter at lightning speed. Classic dad move.

Combine that with how much the daughter enjoys his reaction, the cute dog in the frame, and their charming accents, and this clip has all the makings of a viral hit. Let's make it happen, Internet!

Would you even let your boyfriend cut a sheet of paper within six feet of your head?

Even though we all know that hair grows back, there's still something oddly emotional about getting your hair cut. From babies to my adult sister, it's not unusual for a cut to end with tears.

Which is why it doesn't surprise me that BuzzFeed could only find two women willing to participate in this video, where boyfriends cut their girlfriends hair. And one of the cuts barely even counts—that is a trim! A trim! I want to see someone get a pixie cut, dammit!

The girl getting bangs is pretty brave, though.

In interviewer school, did they teach you that it's a good idea or bad idea to call your subject a skank? (Start the video at 1:50 to skip to the horrible part.)

I think these two radio hosts are playing Good Interviewer, Bad Interviewer. The woman asks Schumer thoughtful questions and compliments the film, while the dude bro offends her (and me) over and over again.

At the beginning of the interview, Schumer explains that her character in the film is based on herself.

"It's me like 10 years ago, when I was a sophomore in college. I was in a lot of pain and I was spreading myself too thin, I was drinking a lot and, and I uh, and then I just realized how destructive it was."

Soon after, when discussing the costumes of the movie, the dude bro asks, "Do you have the word skanky in America?" Schumer says, "We do have that word. Yeah. What made you think about your mom? Why did she just pop in your mind?"

That would have been a good time to, as Nicki Minaj famously said, "move on." But he kept going. He insists, "No, but no, come on, that's the character in the movie. I'm not trying to offend you," and Schumer replies, "Whatever you're trying to do, you are. That's a rude question."

Security, please remove this infiltrator from the female comedian interview and have his question-asking credentials revoked.

Twitter user @RonnieJoice found the poem tacked up inside a bar in North London.

At first glance, this poem seems like something a mopey, angst-ridden teen would write. But when you read it from the bottom up, it suddenly becomes very inspirational. I wish someone had shown this to me when I was a mopey, angst-ridden teen. I might have learned an important lesson about perspective.

Nobody knows who posted this poem inside a London bar. Ronnie Joice just saw it and put in on Twitter, where it quickly went viral. But nothing stays secret on the Internet for long, and the origins of the poem were quickly discovered.

As it turns out, it was written by a teenager: Chanie Gorkin, an 11th grader from Brooklyn, NY. The original was found on poetrynation.com. We may never know how an American high schooler's poem wound up on the wall of a London bar, but it's a good thing it did. A lot of people around the world had their day brightened by it, including me. And I'm still pretty angsty.
