Khal Drogo had the best response to Daenerys' fiery big moment on 'Game of Thrones.'

Daenerys's one true dead love Khal Drogo—AKA, actor Jason Momoa—was a big fan of his khaleesi's fiery, stunning conclusion to the episode of Game of Thrones from this past Sunday. Because don't forget, he and Daenerys actress Emilia Clarke were married. In the show, that is. As their characters.

He captioned the photo: "Hahahahahahahahahahahhhahaha. I love GOT. Don't fuck with my boo. Hahahahahahahahah@emilia_clarke love u Moon of my life ALOHA DROGO."

He has been rooting for Dany against the Khals all season:

And by the way, just as a reminder, this is what Momoa looks like without a shirt on:

ALI'I Mahalo nui loa @wfmft @hotlantayoga #unitetheseven LETS GO. Aloha ACurry

Some a-hole tried to kick a woman out of a public bathroom after mistaking her for being transgender.

This is Aimée Toms.

In a video Toms posted to Facebook on Friday that has since gone viral, she explains how a woman accosted her asked her to leave the bathroom at a Connecticut Walmart.

The woman came up to me and said, "you are not supposed to be here, you need to leave."

At first I was like, did she think I work in a different store and I shouldn't be in this bathroom? So I said, "Yes I do."

And then she flipped me off and said, 'You're disgusting!' and she storms out.

So I realize... holy shit, she just thought I was someone who was transgender. And she thought I was a dude who was hiding in the women's bathroom.

Just in case you couldn't tell, she is a woman. 

"I look adorable in a baseball cap. That's just my opinion"

I get it. The short hair. The baseball cap. I was wearing a plain blue T-shirt. She saw me from the back. But at the sake of sounding blunt, I’m not a flat-chested person. I have got something going on up here.

But that's totally not the point. The experience of being discriminated against, even falsely, really highlighted for Aimée the absurdity of laws like the one in North Carolina that are attempting to prohibit transgender people from using the bathrooms that make them feel comfortable. 

At only 22 years old, Toms eloquently describes her experience and effectively makes a case for inclusivity.

After experiencing the discrimination they face firsthand, I cannot fathom the discrimination transgender people must face in a lifetime.

I rant. I swear. Sorry Mom.

If it really takes me pulling up my shirt and showing someone I grew these boobs myself for them to leave me alone in a restroom, I don't want to live on this planet anymore. This really lit a fire under my ass today.

Posted by Aimée Toms on Friday, May 13, 2016

There are so many gems in her 8 minute video:

People hate what they don't understand, and they hate what they don't know, and it creates a cycle of disgusting bigotry that reflects back on our nation and makes us look ridiculous.

I don't know if you know this, but you've probably been in a bathroom with a transgender person before. 

She relates the discrimination transgender people are facing now to that of the black community in the 1960's:

Let's be real, the same thing happened in the 1960's when black people wanted to use the same bathrooms as white people. They were assaulted. They were arrested. They were discriminated against. This is nothing different. History repeats itself. 

And the height of the absurdity of the situation is reflected in this personal story she shares about halfway through:

This law was not in place a year ago when I almost got raped in a bathroom when a man followed me into the women's room. Do you understand that? There was no transgender law that was telling him to go into the bathroom and assault me, he just did it because he was an awful person and he wanted to violate someone.

She goes on to explain how there have been zero acts of violence perpetrated by transgender people in bathrooms, however many times trans people have been the victims.

And, not that she needs to defend her short hair choice but, she wears her hair short because she regularly donates her hair to cancer patients.

This all used to be on my head!

Posted by Aimée Toms on Saturday, January 30, 2016

I was a victim of transphobia today as a cisgender female.. because of my hair. Do you know why my hair is so short? Because in January I made my third donation to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths Program.

So, yeah. Not that this entitles her to more rights than anyone else, but she's pretty much a hero. 

And she closes her rant with a truly excellent kiss-off:

If you are going to treat me differently because you think I'm a lesser person, then I hope you fall in a pit, and every ice cream cone you ever get for the rest of your life drops in the dirt and they don't have the rest of your flavor. I hope every pie you get in your life turns upside down and splatters on the floor, every piece of toast you ever make lands butter side down, I hope every dog you ever have hates you and likes the rest of your family more, I hope every person you ever come in contact with treats you the same way that you treat any transgender person.

Kanye won a Webby award and was only allowed to give a five-word acceptance speech. He nailed it.

On Monday night, the 2016 Webby Awards—an awards show that praises folks for their Internet influence—dubbed Kanye West their Artist of the Year. Ye couldn't make it to the actual awards ceremony, though, so he snagged the award by way of a glitchy pre-recorded tape. And while Webby award speeches are limited to five words, Kanye used the last two seconds of his video to unleash the most ironically short Kanye speech of Kanye speeches

Of course, it takes three Kanye faces to give a five word speech: "I can't stand short speeches."

It's safe to say that Yeezy truly deserved the Webby award since his album TLOP was apparently streamed more than 200 million times on Tidal within just 10 days of being released on the streaming service.

That's what we were saying, Kanye. Jeez.

He presumably also won the award because the man is an adamant and relentless tweeter. Seriously, who else has been able to be this loud for so long just using Twitter's puny 140-character text box? 

18 fun, dangerous things people enjoyed doing once before vowing to never, ever try again.

Everyone has done some crazy things in life, things that in retrospect were far more dangerous than they could have imagined. Sometimes, it's due to the recklessness of youth, other times people are perfectly capable of doing stupid risky things as an adult. From braving the great outdoors to seemingly regular life events like getting married, fun yet mortally dangerous ideas await you everywhere, beckoning idiots to try them at least once.

Here are 18 stories from a Reddit thread that prompted people to share things that were fun to do once, but which people immediately after decided they would never do again. Some will make you laugh, and some will make your palms sweat with fear.

1. tanyanubin thought a horse ride in the English countryside would be charming.

Going horseback riding up a mountain in Wales... steep as hell, horses kept losing their footing. I wanted to get off the horse but it was so steep that I didn't think I could walk back down. At the top was Offa's dyke path. Down one side of the mountain was England, the other side was Wales. Cool views and everything, but I knew I had to go back DOWN. It was honestly terrifying.

2. Running a 5K can be challenging, especially for BAcc2B3 who was naked.

I ran a naked 5k at a nudist resort in Florida. It was fun in a way but also very sweaty, smelly, and a bit... floppy.

3. Scrappy_Larue now thinks spelunking should be left to the pros.

Cave exploring.

In college, a forestry major brought 5 of us out to a remote cave. For starters, you go through a gauntlet of bats just to get in. Inside is a chamber of horrors if something was to go wrong. Choke points that you can barely squeeze through...enormous rooms....ledges with drop-offs that look like infinity below you because your light can't see any bottom. It really hit me afterward how dangerous that was. You couldn't think of a worse place to get injured, and injuries are waiting at every turn.

4. Speaking of caves, HypersonicHarpist would also recommend not bringing your mom along.

My mom (who was 60 at the time) and I went hiking in the Pacific Northwest and she found in a guide book that there was an old lava tube that you could go in on the south side of Mt. St. Helens. The guide book made it seem like it was just a nice underground hike through a rocky tube that the lava had carved out. And that's exactly what it is...if you go to the right. We in our ignorance decided that that was for pansies and went to the left. From the entrance to the exit is only about 1.5 miles long but that was the longest 1.5 miles of my life. See when the lava flows through it doesn't just melt away the rock to create the tube it also super-heats the surrounding rock. When that rock cools it fractures causing the ceiling to cave in in places. This creates 12-15 foot high piles of jagged rocks that you have to climb over. Did I mention the only lights we brought were little hand held flashlights? So we're climbing over huge piles of wet, slippery, loose, razor sharp rock with only one hand because the other had a death grip on the flashlight. We probably should have turned around and gone back after the first pile but in our ignorant optimism we assumed that it couldn't be harder ahead than it was behind...we were wrong. 38 rock piles and a rock ledge that the only way up was a rope not much bigger around than a shoe string later we finally made it back to daylight. The rush of excitement when we came back above ground was one of the greatest feelings of accomplishment I've ever had. I might be persuaded to do it again, but I'm bringing better equipment next time.

4. Caves have nothing on rivers, according to kukukele.

Kayaking in Alabama and the water levels were about 5-6x normal flow rate.

We, being a group of five guys, decided to go down a non-normal trail that is usually woods. The water level was so high that we were essentially midway up the trees.

Well, a non-normal trail means we literally went barricading through several trees. This was all pretty fun until one of our friends go dumped into the water and his kayak wedged into the tree branches. He proceeds to dump me in the water while trying to hang on to my boat and chaos ensues as we go riding down the current barreling into trees with nothing but a helmet and life jacket on.

It took us two hours to get back upstream and recover his kayak. The final casualty count was a pair of flip flops, a nerf football, a bag of funyons, and a paddle. In retrospect it was pretty fun, but in the moment, it was pretty terrifying.

5. Coolest_Breezy swam a river the hard way.

I swam across the Great American River in Coloma, California after a few beers. There and back.

I made it, but I nearly passed out.

Three hours later the current was a lot lower and calmer, and people were effortlessly walking across the rocks in the same place I swam.

Fuckers.

6. KiLLaKRaGGy knows water can be dangerous when frozen too.

I walked out on ice to a small island about a quarter mile into Lake Superior. It was night and middle of February. This area of Lake Superior (5 mile rock, just north of Grand Marais, MN) rarely freezes over. But the ice was about 14 inches thick and we were pretty boozed up. When I got there I noticed this small black spot out in the distance but otherwise the entire lake looked frozen as far as the eye could see. After a few minutes I hear this crashing noise. I couldn't place it but between the wind gusts it sounded like lots of crushing and crashing. At this point I noticed the black spot in the distance is growing larger. After a few more minutes it started to take up more than half the horizon. It was growing very fast. I realized it was open water eating away the ice and coming right for us (made me think of the Langoliers). I told the other two guys we need to get back NOW. We ran back and and it starts to snow. The wind is 20-30 mph gusts so it's a complete black out blizzard. To make matters worse one of the guys is so drunk he falls about every 50 ft. So I have to turn around and set him upright. Luckily we had a street light that we were able to follow otherwise we could have been running out into the lake.

The next morning we packed up to head home and talked about how stupid our little adventure was. We haven't done something that stupid since we were kids. Now we have kids of our own and really shouldn't be playing with fate. As we head down the driveway towards the lake we stop and just stare. The entire lake is open! How that beast of a lake can just remove that much ice so quickly is absolutely incredible. Sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it.

TLDR: Don't fuck with Lake Superior.

7. Just one time for this number two by PowerWordCoffee

Pooping after major surgery where they cut through my abdominal wall.

Felt great to get 3 days worth of poop out.

Almost split myself in half.

But that post poop feeling x1000

8. fortalyst knows that your special day can be not-so special to plan.

Organizing a wedding.

9. dncare has some more wedding advice.

Having a wedding.

Seriously, I have no idea why people do it over again. Fun experience, but we went cheap (only about $4500), and I still wouldn't do it again.

Then, there's the stress, the fatigue, the sleep deprivation.

No thanks.

10. When making a baby, MortimerDukeIII reminds everyone to be mindful of your surroundings.

Once, I stood up on my bed to change sex positions...forgot I had a ceiling fan. Never did that again. 

11. MrSHiat thinks one bundle of joy is plenty.

Having a kid. For some reason we did it again.

12. beeanchor1312 would like to remind everyone what happens after giving birth.

Giving birth. Quite exciting and obviously eventful and I totally loved being the centre of the universe for a few hours. But very few people talk about not being able to sit comfortably for several days; the pain of pooping if you've had a few stitches and the world's longest and heaviest period afterwards ...

13.  austinbucco tested the limits of being a Star Wars nerd.

Watching the first six Star Wars movies in a theater before watching Episode 7. It's easy to underestimate just how exhausting watching like 12 hours of movies can be. Especially when the movies start early in the morning.

14. hung_like_a_tripod avoided killer creatures during the full moon. 

Surfing at night under a full moon. It was great, beautiful with the moon shimmering on the water. You could still see the waves. Surfed for a few hours and nothing happened. After making it to shore I was just thinking how we were literally the only thing splashing around in that whole two mile bay. Every shark in the area had to know we were there.....ringing the dinner bell. So glad to have the memory and it was so awesome. But after meeting a guy who jumped off a boat at night in that same bay years before and got his leg chomped by a huge tiger shark I would never do it again. Hahaha.

15. Alundra828 nearly got arrested just to impress some girls.

Back in my youth I was with a girl that was totally a bad influence on me. She roped my into to using my man body to break into an abandoned house to have a house party.

We smashed our way in, climbed through and started casing the joint. As I was upstairs, I noticed 2 police cars pulled up. I was the only one in the house. I assumed the girls had ran off or hid. I was alone, in an abandoned house, police were coming quick. 2 officers stayed outside. 2 came into the building. I quickly opened the window, and without even thinking, slid down the drain pipe into a sort of side garden area. The garden was totally over grown like savannah grass. So I went all fucking lioness on that shit and stealthed my way through the grass. On the other side of the garden was a gate that led to an alley way which I knew would be my escape. I crawled along the ground careful, got to the gate, opened it, and legged it.

I've never, ever felt adrenaline or badassery like that before. I felt invincible. But yeah, nah. Never again.

16.  Bootches tried the cliché of jumping off a bridge just because all his buddies were doing it.

My friends and I jumped off our town bridge. A good four story drop into the lake beneath. They, being the graceful swans that they were, dropped in like special forces. I on the other hand fell like a brick and belly flopped like a brick. The air was out of my lungs and I was floating down the river on my back whilst my friends laughed. It was a great time but I haven't jumped off that bridge since!

17. Wice_Quispies got the band back together for an illegal jam session.

I snuck into an abandoned radio studio in the middle of the night and had a jam session with some old guitars with a couple buddies. It was cool and fun, yet there was an overwhelming amount of fear and creepiness in there.

18.  cuidadodoe raced to Mexico in cars that shouldn't have made it there.

For spring break a group of my friends raced from San Diego to Cabo. We got in teams, bought $500 cars and sold them once we got there. My team ended up making it in 23 hours but after an accidental off-roading experience and dodging two cows on the road, I would never participate again.

Woman tells stunned surgeons how she hid her pregnancy right up until an emergency C-section.

These days, Jessica Coleman tries to keep her C-section scar a secret, much like how she kept her entire pregnancy. Coleman, a patient on E!'s plastic surgery show Botched, was still living with her parents at the time she was with child. Coleman's parents didn't find out about the pregnancy until it was over—meaning, the day her son was born—and the delivery itself was sadly far from smooth.

She had an emergency C-section and developed an infection (she's all right now except for the scar).

"When I would be watching TV, I'd be propped back in the recliner and next thing I know I see his foot pop out of my stomach, and I'm like, 'OK, let me switch positions,' because my dad would be on the other couch," she told the surgeons. 

She didn't even tell the nurses and doctors at the hospital about the pregnancy when she checked in to deliver, and she ended up getting an emergency C-section.

Watch her tell the tale in a surprisingly giggly way, and the plastic surgeons' flustered faces.

Mom uses kid as a human traffic cone to steal a parking space, piss off another driver.

This video is a dare to not go out and punch every child wearing a baseball hat you see today. 

Our victim, wayneg9998 from Port Moody, BC, describes the showdown in the description of the video:

Has this ever happened to you? After circling around endlessly for 20 minutes at a completely PACKED parking lot on a busy Saturday afternoon, I finally saw someone leaving, and patiently waited for the parking spot (blue car) for them to leave. Out of nowhere comes a punk kid and his mom, and I would guess the dad (driving the silver Corolla). 

At 0:40, you can see a backwards-baseball-hat-wearing punk kid pull up next to the car on his bike just before his parents pull around the other side. ​When wayneg9998 tries to edge forward to claim his space, the kid puts his hand out to stop him. It's peak obnoxiousness.

Heads would roll.

Even though this video is sped up so wayneg9998's voice is high-pitched, you can feel the rage building as he says, "No. That's mine."

Apparently now you can sweet talk your way and reserve the spot if you just stand there and use a kid to block you with his bike. Your car was not even there. I waited a full minute before you even showed up. My turn signal was indicated at 0.06 of the video.


For what it's worth, the lady of the car leaving said to me, "they have been waiting here for a while, so they can have the spot". She seems clueless that I was there waiting for their spot way before they arrived and sided with them since they chatted moments earlier. SMH...

SMH indeed. Hopefully in this case, SMH stands for Shaking My Hat-wearing-punk-kid. 

23 little annoying things people do that are slowly driving their partners to the mental asylum.

When you're in a relationship with someone and spending lots of time with them, you tend to notice the cute little things they do that make you want that person in your life forever and ever. Then there are the not-as-sweet quirks they have that chip away at your soul and make you want to watch Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.

Count to 10 before you say something then keep counting because they're never going to stop.

On Reddit, a number of people aired their teeny-tiny grievances against their partners that are enough to make them complain endlessly but aren't quite deal-breakers. Never for a second did these 23 people find these little habits attractive about their partners.

1. benzethonium is quite sure their partner doesn't want more toast.

Making toast. Nothing else. She plugs in the toaster, gets out the bread and butter, like a normal person. Finishes making toast. Toaster is still plugged in, bread is on the counter and open, and the butter is uncovered with a butter knife in the butter. I ask why do you leave this stuff out? She says she may want more. We have been married over 40 years and she has NEVER wanted more toast. NEVER.

2. Breathe deeply, philtheprince, you'll get through it. 

She'll sing the same line of a song for 30 minutes.

3. Don't take bizitmap's pet peeve the wrong way.

Phrases things that aren't going to be bad news, like they are bad news. For example:

Her: Now, okay, don't get mad, but...
Me thinking: what bad news is about to happen? oh shit did I do something wrong where is this about to go oh no OH NO OH NO
Her: ...we should eat less quinoa, it's starting to bother my stomach and idk why
Me: OH. WHEW. Yeah we'll get rice or couscous or something.

This has happened with "I'm not a big star wars fan" and "you should drink less soda." I think her family's more kinda... combative with each other so she grew up having to soften messages.

My brother in law is similar, which drives my sister nuts. He'll be like "[DRAMATIC SIGH] honey, I just... I don't.... I don't think we can go see Wreck It Ralph this Friday."

4. 12DancingPrincesses has been ready, goddammit.  

If we need to leave at 9am, he starts getting ready at 8:58am. Which requires him chugging the cold coffee he has been ignoring, taking a 20 minute poop whilst he facebooks. Not being able to locate his keys, or his phone, or the pants he wanted to wear and having a minor hissy fit about that. And, after all that, as I patiently wait for him to actually be ready to leave he has the nerve to go and stand by the door, look me in the eye and ask "Ready?" in a hopeful tone of voice. As if has been waiting for me all this time. I want to murder him at least once a week over this.

12DancingPrincesses has impressive will-power.

5. murderousbudgie endures what no one should. 

Waits until I've settled into the couch/bed to ask me to get something for him.

6. FourFingerLifeHug's partner found a new use for fruit stickers.

She takes the stickers off fruit and instead of putting them in the garbage, she sticks them to the counter directly above where the garbage can is.

Used to be random until she found out how much it bothered me, now she does it deliberately.

7. sellyourselfshort might want to talk to the cat about this one. 

So our cat has weird anxiety issues and to calm down often has to lick plastic bags, I have no idea why, she's a fucking weird cat. Well my girlfriend tosses every fucking plastic bag we get on the floor for her and it's just this massive mess of them everywhere. Fucking just give her like 1 or 2 in her corners she hides in, I am sick of stepping on a plastic bag on my way to the bathroom at 4am and almost breaking my fucking leg when it slides on the carpet.

8. Let him starve, LaVieLaMort.

My husband never has any input on what to eat for dinner.

Me: What sounds good for dinner?

Husband: I don't know.

Me: eye roll. There's NOTHING that sounds good to you?

Husband: I don't care. Just make whatever.

Me: Well, thanks for the input.

FUCKING SHIT. GET AN OPINION!

Feed him mold and see if he gets an opinion.

9. Hit_with_big_stick should invest in an e-reader.

When she reads books in bed, she scrapes the paper across her shirt when she flips the page. I want to cut my ears off.

10. GTFOReligion is living out Groundhog Day

Drops her fucking hair straightener every morning. She gets up earlier than I do, so I'm still sleeping when she starts getting ready. Every. Fucking. Morning she goes to plug it in, it slips off of the dresser and on to the hardwood floors. CLANKrattlerattlerattle . . .

Every.

Fucking.

Morning.

11. Please do something about this, UsoOuso

She always forgets to flush the damn toilet.

12. Do a lot of people do this, or is it just comounaMUJER's partner? 

Chewing wheat thins RIGHT in my goddamn ear in bed while I'm trying to sleep. It brings on some sort of angry adrenaline rage and then I can't fall back asleep.

13. JAECOONE's grievance has surely ended at least one relationship.

Squeezes the toothpaste from the middle instead of the end.

14. EvyEarthling never sees the time on her microwave.

Microwaves food, stops before the time runs out, leaves time remaining displayed instead of the clock.

Subtle cruelty.

15. Anti_Bread_Bowl...

She ends all her texts with ellipses. It just always reads like she's annoyed with me.

Me: You want italian for dinner?

Her: Ok...

Then I'll see her in person, thinking she's going to want to eat something else or complain, but she's excited and happy for Italian.

16. How does edward414 still use the sponge?

Not wringing out the sponge so the water gets cold and it starts to smell

17. retroverted_uterus has some feelings.  

Quickly paces when he's on the phone. SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND FINISH YOUR PHONE CALL YOU ANIMAL. It stresses me out watching him.

18. Don't try to help bobdigi36 in the kitchen.

Loads the dishwasher like she's Hellen Keller. When I rearrange everything we have space for like 10 more dishes.

19. Truenoiz can never get a straight answer.

Answering a question with the answer to a different (but tangentially related) question.

Me: "Should I use get the paper plates?" Her: "We're out of dish soap"

Argh, does that mean I should get the paper plates? Do I need to go buy dish soap after dinner to wash the regular dishes?

Me: "What should I cook for dinner?" Her: "Well, we're out of spaghetti sauce."

20. How does Luquinthia survive this one? 

He pronounces the "L" in salmon.

"No you can't have sale-mon for dinner because it doesn't exist."

21. lovelylady227 does not understand why it's so hard to change a goddamn roll of tp.

He gets the toilet paper out when the roll is empty and then just leans it on top of the empty roll.

I don't care what direction you put the roll on. I don't care if you leave the seat up. But you're sitting there...pooping...the roll is empty and the new one is RIGHT THERE.

22. It's a wonder pdxemf hasn't frozen or suffocated to death.

He manages to simultaneously steal the comforter and shove the top sheet onto me, all night every night. As such, I'm constantly waking up fucking freezing, but freaking out because I have an entire queen-size sheet tangled around my legs and I can't move. I'm thinking of just stapling the fucking sheet to the comforter at this point.

23. Nevab's got it the worst.

Talking about TV show during the show! "Why has he done that?" "Do you think this will happen?" "Who's he?" Well shut up and you might find out. 

Can you imagine someone who does all 23 of these things? They'd be an absolute monster.


Kim Kardashian tells award show the only thing that will make her stop taking nude selfies.

Human brand Kim Kardashian won a Webby Award on Monday night for her accomplishments in breaking the Internet. She received this most recent award presumably for her nude selfie and other social media exploits, and not because she's actually a member of an elite hacker collective (although you wouldn't know if she was because...duh). Also, her game was so last year, so it couldn't have been that.  Webby acceptance speeches are only five words long, so Kardashian had this to say:

As a reminder, here's the nude selfie that launched 1,000 Internet-breaks:

While "nude selfies till I die" is a good, on-brand statement, Kim can go further. This is the future, after all. What about a hologram that can take nude selfies in fancy bathrooms for decades after Kim's passing? A digital tombstone that displays nude selfies above her final resting place? A scholarship fund that can help give the next generation the support they need to take their own nude selfies? This big, Kim. Nude selfies are timeless.*

*Well, either that, or in 100 years or so, human beings will be so comfortable with nudity that the idea of a nude selfie breaking the Internet will probably seem laughably antiquated.

Dad makes awesome Joan of Arc costume for daughter's book report, nerds insist she's Arya Stark.

Reddit user 99-LS1-SS is a lot more creative than his numerical username might suggest, so when it came time to help his daughter with an oral report on Joan of Arc, he helped craft her an epic costume. There's nothing in the world that can come between a committed father's amazing bond with his daughter. But Internet trolls can definitely try. 

Alongside the photo, the dad naively boasted to the Internet that he "spent the last 3 days making most of her costume and banner from scratch" and that he thought "it turned out pretty good" for a beginner in the world of paramilitary crafts.

But people didn't really care about that. Far and away, the most prevalent comments were, of course, part of a crazy tangent that devolved into a Game of Thrones discussion. Said the prophetic redditor AkashicRecorder:

I'm guessing a bunch of people will be mistaking her for Arya Stark without context.

Really good work on the costume, though.

Yes, great costume. Moving on.

One Maester Kangar at least made a connection to the source material:

Joan of Stark

Causing this comment from Richard_Blaine:

France remembers.

Then all hell (and all spoilers) broke loose following this comment from darkskinnedjermaine.

Stannis is alive!

Sadly, no.

The response was swift and merciless:

"No, he was poisoned by his enemies."

A reference to a recent Ramsay quote, in case you missed it.

Conspiracies rose to the surface

"That was not Stannis!"

And the rest were non-sequiturs:

"Stannis the Mannis"

Albeit important non-sequiturs.

"Fuck Olly." 

And other, not so important​ non-sequiturs. Southern_boy won't bend the knee to anyone but the Mannis.

I've only read the books but... I'd sure as hell hope so!

The One True KingTM of Westeros can't up and die on us, right?

Oh the sweet, innocent naivety of book readers. At this point, take a second to remind yourself that the original post is about a little girl's Joan of Arc costume.

The same commenter wasn't done:

I don't really care what some inbred, outcast savagelover wanted for her brood... what I do care about is the future of pure humanity in the form of Stannis Baratheon, hallowed be his Northmarching name.

Dany will play her part in the Great War no worries though if you are worried about that - she and the Snowman are the fire + ice of the series. They'll help save the world Stannis will rule.

It'll be neat! :)

There are more—about 1,675 comments so far—but already the moral here seems to be that the Internet is not yours to boast on. It is for people to talk about Game of Thrones on. That is all.

Guy named Max Kessler discovers only good reason to attend Adam Sandler premiere: being Sandler's doppelgänger.

Back in April, a guy named Max Kessler took to Reddit to point out the undeniable fact that he looks a whole lot like America's favorite movie star (well, America's favorite movie star with the name Adam Sandler). Even weirder was the fact that Sandler's new movie, The Do-Over, starred Sandler playing a character named—seriously—Max Kessler. 

The Reddit post was so successful, Kessler needed to point out that it wasn't an advertisement for Sandler's new movie. And though the story was picked up by so many viral outlets, it seems most of them missed Sandler's response. 

A revealingly-named Redditor, AdamRSandler, posted this: 

Turns out, Max could:

So Sandler gave him an admittedly awesome response:

Which brings the story to today, when Kessler posted the culmination of his Sandler-look-alike journey. 

It does not get any better than this for dudes who look like Adam Sandler.

Although it's unclear if Kessler was always a Sandler fan, he seems to be now. He accompanied the above image with the caption:

Adam Sandler flew me out to the premier of "The Do-Over" after he saw my post here. Thank you Adam for the incredible experience and thank you Reddit for making it happen!

So it turns out there's a point where, if you look so much like Adam Sandler, you actually have no choice but to see his movie, no matter how bad you think the movie looks.

And it does not look great.

Woman who got pregnant via IVF used her needles to celebrate the painful road to motherhood.

For four years, Macy Rodeffer had been trying to get pregnant through IVF and chronicling the process on Instagram. Over the course of those years, Rodeffer suffered three miscarriages, had surgery and took boatload of medication. Throughout it all, Rodeffer Instagrammed things like an IVF-themed reimagining of the lyrics to the Friends theme song, pictures of needle marks in her skin, and so, so many pictures of syringes. When she did finally get pregnant, she had the expensive, painful IVF shots to thank. She let her Instagram followers know about the good news by posting a picture of an ultrasound picture and a little onesie emblazoned with "Worth the wait and wait and wait" surrounded by a heart made of all those used syringes.

Rodeffer's Instagram post was inspired by another woman's birth announcement last year, with a picture of a newborn baby surrounded by a heart made up of used syringes (these were also IVF syringes—the baby wasn't a junkie or anything).

Rodeffer also kept a blog, Martinis and Medicine, detailing the struggles she and her husband went through with infertility. In a post titled "A Work of A.R.T./Our Rainbow Baby" she wrote:

We're some of the lucky ones. It only took 4 years, 3 miscarriages, depression, 107 hormone injections, one surgery, two procedures, over 100 suppositories, and several thousand dollars to get our baby. You might ask how I say that we're lucky. We're lucky because we get to have a baby. So many women don't. Even more go through multiple rounds of fertility treatments to get their baby.

We will always have infertility. It doesn't matter if we have all the children our hearts desire. Each of those children will take one surgery, 107 shots, two procedures, over 100 suppositories, and several thousand dollars. At least. If we're lucky.

In an interview with ABC News, Rodeffer said:

"I really just wanted the photo to show... how difficult infertility can be. My photo contains the medications from just one round of IVF. There are a lot more people that go through so much more than us, all the while dealing with hurtful words, unsolicited advice, and judgmental comments. It was also a way for me to show my friends and family what we had gone through for our baby, when words didn't quite seem to cut it." 

I can't wait to give these to my parents and grandparents next weekend 😊

A guy walked into a restaurant kitchen and turned on the lights. A parade of horror ensued.

Hello, would you like to see something disgusting? The YouTube channel funny people has posted a video that has the Internet quietly vomiting, because the video shows a very high number of rats scurrying up a hole in the kitchen wall of a restaurant. The dozen or so rats performed the acrobatic show after a human walked in on them and interrupted their rat orgy or whatever they were doing. It's nasty—the rats running away, not the rat orgy. That probably didn't happen.

Make this video even more enjoyable by singing along "Rats, rats, rats, rats, rats" to the tune of Rihanna's "Work." Maybe throw in some dancing, too, as accompaniment for the rapid movements of the rats.

Rat-hanna and D-rat-e at the RTV Music Awards.

When you first watched the rats, did you appreciate the agility of this particular critter? 

Cirque du Soleil right there.

Or were you too focused on this moment?

Too close of a race to name a winner.

For those wondering where this restaurant is so they can make sure to never, ever eat there, the home address of these rats is not known. Unreliable speculation places this restaurant in the state of California, so if you live within 1,000 miles of there you might want to stop eating for awhile just to be safe.

The Lonely Island plays 'I'm on a Boat' with Jimmy Fallon, The Roots, and old school instruments.

The Lonely Island stopped by The Tonight Show on Monday and performed their hit "I'm on a Boat" with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots. This rendition lacked T-Pain and auto-tuning, and was instead played with classroom instruments. The Roots always truly know how to perform a song in its rawest form.

The original version included a whole bunch of f-bombs, so this time around they had to use a few substitutions to keep it PG for everybody.

The original is always worth another watch, especially if you're not on a boat with your flippy-floppies, but on land straight flippin' copies:

Seeing the ivy literally peeled off an old building is much more satisfying than you'd think.

When ivy grows on the side of a building, it spreads so slowly that you don't notice. By the time it's covered the facade, nobody can remember what the building looked like before. But what if you could just peel off that ivy like you were pulling up an old shag carpet? Guess what—you can. And it's awesome.

Ohhhhhh yeah.

This image, which was shared by redditor _CapR_, shows a building where the ivy fell off naturally under its own weight. Which can apparently happen too. You're learning all sorts of stuff about ivy today!

The only frustrating part is that this isn't a video. Wouldn't you love to hear the sound the ivy made as it separated from the wall? It was probably like velcro. But at least you can marvel at the smooth, matte surface of the ivy tendrils. You can imagine sleeping under this thick layer of plant life, just like nature's own blanket. And you can fantasize about peeling the ivy off every building you see from now on. For all of these reasons, you're welcome.


The best Rihanna impersonation is this girl's painted nose twerking to 'Work.'

A RiRi fan found a creative way to celebrate Rihanna that was pretty on the nose. Turning the center of her face into a butt, the person behind this Rihanna Philippines video invented a cool new genre of dancing: Nose Twerking. And yes, it still manages to be quite sexual (thank goodness there are no boogers).

WORK!!! WORK!!! NOSE VERSION ..

Posted by Rihanna Philippines on Friday, May 13, 2016

For comparison, here's the original version of "Work," in which more than just her nose moves. 

You saw it here, kids. Noses are the new butts (are the new boobs).

Comedians troll nosy subway commuters with hilariously filthy fake book covers.

In April, comedian Scott Rogowsky made up some fake book covers, slapped them on some hardcover books, and took to the subway to make some nosy people laugh (and gullible people gasp). He did it again this month, riding the L train with fellow comedian Akilah Hughes in a video called "Subway Reading: The Sequel." Scott and Akilah made up a whole slew of new books, including the non-existent New York Times Bestsellers Unsightly Genital Rashes: A Coloring Book and Ever Been With A Black Girl? Call Me 473-551-9918.

Great Vaginas Through History is the long-awaited follow-up to The Vagina Monologues.

Akilah Hughes just can't get enough of those vaginas.

Part of pulling a stunt like this in public is capturing the public's reaction. And people did react. Even jaded New Yorkers who could probably see a rat steal someone's briefcase and not blink an eye couldn't help being lured in by these fake book covers.

This guy's into it.
And this guy.
This lady, too.
This guy's not too sure.

Rogowsky and Hughes aren't the first to do this—in 2009, fake book cover pioneer David Wong (the editor of Cracked.com) created a series of book covers meant for hiding his guilty pleasure Harry Potter books, including the ever-popular Memoirs of a Shark Fucker. But he didn't actually put the book covers on and test them, meaning he never got to see awesome reactions like these.

These guys love it the most.

Demi Lovato slyly took a crap on Taylor Swift in a new interview.

In an interview with Refinery29, Demi Lovato touched on a multitude of topics, from her "bitchy" days before sobriety to the time she subtweeted Taylor Swift.

That Twit-show happened a few months back when Kesha's legal case was breaking everyone's heart. Taylor Swift donated $250,000 to Kesha for legal support, a move which influenced a subtle jab on the part of Lovato, an outspoken supporter of abuse victims.

There was also some stuff on Instagram Lovato wrote that made people think/hope a Swift-Lovato feud was about to happen. That didn't quite materialize, though given Lovato's recent comments, it's quite obvious there's still not a lot of love between the two pop stars.

"I get carried away on Twitter, and that’s what I said, and that’s that," Lovato told Refinery29. Then she added:

Listen, there’s nothing positive that comes from pitting women against each other. There are women that I don’t get along with, and that’s fine. My thing is, don’t brand yourself a feminist if you don’t do the work. I have an immense amount of respect for women like Lena Dunham...or Beyoncé, who make amazing political statements through their work.

#SassSquad

Lovato's shade is great because it's open: she's not throwing down Swift per se. She is, however, quite bluntly saying she won't be in any #squad pics soon while also suggesting that people in a position of power should be aware of how they present themselves and use their standing to good effect.

It's a bit of a bummer that Swift and Lovato are on the outs, because they could make some catchy ass songs together.

Husband and wife team up for a spot-on parody of those overly perfect Instagram couples.

Photographer Murad Osmann and his wife Natalia Zakharova became Instagram-famous when they started capturing their #FollowMeTo photos in 2013. The ongoing series documents the couple's (assumedly) perfect and lavish travel lifestyle—with each photo featuring Osmann holding his wife’s hand all around the globe.

Due to the fickle nature of life, unfortunately, not every couple can snap overly-romantic-looking travel photos like the #FollowMeTo couple. And that's totally OK! This dude named Forrest Lu probably had a real chill time with his wife Agnes Chien on vacation—despite getting pulled around by his ears, hair, and nose while the Taiwanese couple took their sweet time taking a sweet tour of Hawaii.

Dragging him by the nose.
By his hair.
Apparently, more than once.
And also by his ear. Ouch!

This twosome deserves all the social media fame they can get for hilariously reminding the world that couples don't need to be flawless photo models. They only need to be their ridiculous little selves on vacation.

A paramedic is accused of stealing James Gandolfini's watch as he died. Time to run, pal.

One of the Italian paramedics who rushed James Gandolfini to the hospital after he suffered a fatal heart attack has been accused of stealing the late actor's watch while transporting him. Gandolfini died in 2013 on a trip with his family in Rome. The watch, a Rolex reportedly worth $3,000, went missing at some point between Gandolfini's hotel room and his ambulance arriving at the hospital. So, at this point, it's most likely either a paramedic or a hotel employee.

What is clear is that it's not OK to steal a dying person's watch. 

Hopefully, the official Italian authorities find out who stole the watch before the not-so official Italian authorities do.
