While most of the time you just discover some dust and creaky floorboards, sometimes cleaning an old house can lead to some serious treasure.

Old houses hide a lot of secrets in their walls that can remain through countless renovations, new appliances or new tenants and homeowners. Entering an abandoned house can be a terrifyingly eerie adventure, but there are also cases where people can discover unique and sentimental artifacts of the past. Old love letters, photographs, creepy porcelain children's dolls, and worn books are the standard, but some people have uncovered valuable gems or maybe even some friendly ghosts...

So, when a Reddit user asked, "What's the strangest thing you've ever found in an old house?" people were definitely ready to share their scary and fun antique discoveries.

1.

When we moved into my new house, there was an outlet in the bathroom that just would not work. Eventually, my dad got around to changing it. When he pulled the face plate off, he realized that there was no electrical wiring. Instead, there was a plastic box attached to the back. Inside was a note from the people who owned the house in the late 60's, welcoming the new owners (not us) into the house. There were a couple of stories, well wishing, and 20 dollars to buy something nice for the house. - capoteismygod

2.

When I was in high school, my friends and I got drunk and decided to go through this creepy old house that sat on some of my friend's farmland. So, we make our way through the place and end up in the basement. By this time, we were all huddled up in a straight line and scared sh*tless. We only had a single flash light, and we were all fixated on where it was shining. As the light moved across the floor, it showed a tombstone of one of the people that used to live there. Not a word or scream. Everyone decided to run at the exact same time. - JJDubz

3.

My dads report card at my grandmothers house. Straight F's. I saved it until mine came where he would yell at me for getting a D. Showed him and he shut the f*ck up. Will never forget that. - sudosandwich

4.

In my old apartment we had a basement this house has been around since late 1800's. In the basement there were 2 doors that had been screwed shut. I unscrewed the doors and went in. There was an old chest freezer (nothing inside and yes it did scare the living sh*t outta me) then an old vinyl mattress, porcelain tub, then when you go further into the actual basement there were ruble everywhere from a remodel of the building, there were old 1920's clothing/shoes, an old spring metal cot, and old books everywhere from the 30's, the creepiest thing was the empty nitrous oxide tank next to the rusted bed...before i moved out of the apartment i took majority of the books with me and still have them to this day - dcmband03

5.

A roll of film with photos my granddad had taken of himself and his lover having sex. - paralemptor

6.

I was rewiring a home in a historic district. There was pretty much everything the family didn't want left there. The strangest thing was the hand crafted shrine to aliens that was in the basement that had to be removed by means of sledge hammer and wheel barrow. This was because she hand sculpted everything and fired it in her own kiln. She then used some kind of mortar to set it in place. The thing was maybe 4 feet tall and 7 feet long. It was stepped up the wall in 3 tiers made of gardening cinder blocks. There were at least 175 sculptures of aliens with glassy eyes cemented in place.

The story was that she set the house on fire to kill the aliens. The lady was nuts. They actually had the bomb squad remove 5 filing cabinets filled with ammunition. She was apparently getting ready for a war with them.

That really tops it. Old crazy lady built an alien shrine and died in an intentional house fire she started. - Radar_Monkey

7.

My friend's parents owned a house that they had been unable to rent for some time. My friend and I went exploring in it one day and found a sword and flail in an upstairs closet.

And then the sword/flail fights began. - UncleJeff

8.

When my parents bought their house in the early 80s, they were tearing out a lot of the old stuff that was left in there.

In the basement the found a false wall where the old wooden paneling was loose. Found some guys massive porn stash. - Brajok

9.

My husband was working in his brother-in-law's remodel business-they were working on renovating a rental property. One day while cleaning out a room, husband found on old bean bag chair-it felt strangely heavy. He looked inside and found a sawed-off shot gun. - Crystaleyes

10.

I actually just toured a house today that was built in 1846, and in the basement was a copper engraving of the entire town, signed and dated as 8/12/1889. - EffinDentists

11.

Last summer we were fixing/painting this old house with some friends. Most of the work took place on the second floor. One day some people who used to live there decided to drop by and mention that there's a small room in the attic, too (I think they even said their grandmother used to live there, which makes the following story even more creepy). So we decided to check it out, of course.

The attic was mostly covered with pigeon feces, there was also an old door, taken off its hinges, a sh*tload of (empty) vodka bottles, an old toolbox... And then, on one end of the attic was the room they were talking about.

It looked like some place where people keep their evil twin and feed it fishheads. It was a very small square room (more like 4 walls than a room), only wallpapered on the inside, around it was the same sh*t-covered dark attic. It had a single small window that was covered with ivy. In it there was a table, a bed, some old clothes, a rusty sewing machine, a pair of boots... There was still a blanket on the bed, which was the strangest thing. If I'd gone there alone, I would have been scared sh*tless, but my friend even cracked a joke: "I wouldn't be surprised if we find a dead body in here. Not surprised, but really scared." - [deleted]

12.

A 5 and a half minute hallway. - specialk16

13.

The house I grew up in was built around 1919. During renovation my dad found an old gun in the wall. I think he gave it away to a friend of his who was a collector. He also found a baseball bat in another wall. We're pretty sure the house was used for bootlegging during prohibition because there was a warning buzzer wired into a wine cellar under the back yard. There was also a secret 'back staircase' that led out into the garden. - trickiwoo

14.

I once knew a guy who would clean houses for the police, like crack houses and stuff. He once found a blow up doll stuffed with cash. No joke. - iwatchyousleep

15.

At first I thought it was a miniature chainsaw. Turned out, it was a chainsaw-shaped ceramic flask filled with Bourbon. - vt_pete

16.

years ago some friends and I decided to explore an old house next to an old sawmill. This place was located in the woods and was considered an historic site by the city but was very run down. We went inside the house and I looked inside a closet and saw an old dirty brown paper bag just sitting in the corner. We ripped the bag open with a stick and saw human teeth. Not just a few but maybe 50 or more. We didn't count we just ran out of there. - kaysea112

17.

When we first moved into our house like 6 years ago my dad was replacing the ceiling tiles in the bathroom. (The kind that you can push up from below)

Hidden up there was really old porn of large German ladies , and about 50 ice-cream sandwich wrappers. - textmasterj

18.

I found a preserved rhinoceros in my university's basement. My friend went to feel the skin and accidentally tore off the ear.

We later found out it had been put on display over a hundred years ago, and when rhinos were classified as endangered they decided the tactful thing to do would be to hide it.

Then I won a "truth or lie?" contest by telling people I had seen Mike tear the ear off a rhino. - abadidea

It takes a village to make a movie, and it's often not very pleasant for the villagers.

Every movie you watch takes millions of dollars and hours of labor—even the bad ones. People put their blood, sweat, and tears into a project, but what is the mood like when the project....sucks?

People who work in the film industry shared what it's like on the set of a sure-to-be-terrible movie. The mood is often bleak, but the money helps.

1. Stars: they're just like us! They eat their feelings!

I do Craft Service for a living and if things are going poorly I'm the first person everyone comes crying to, there's comfort in snacks. The crew, above the line people excluded, could care less whether the commercial/music video/ movie looks bad. All they want is good pay, good food, and coffee. -aSchreibCalledQuest

2. Respect the Carnosaur trilogy.

I worked on a few Roger Corman movies in the 90's so we knew were were making cheap throwaway films. Most of the people there were working to get experience and have a few things to put on resumes. Things that would drop off quickly when better things came along. Just about everyone worked as hard as they could and had a great time busting our a** to make "Carnosaur III." -misterscratch

3. Forever hold your piece.

At the moment I am working as a camera assistant on adverts tv and film. The most common problem I come across is, that the camera man knows that a shot the director wants looks like sh*t. But unfortunately, the camera man is not really allowed much input. The shot keeps on looking like crap and the director blames the cameraman saying he is doing it wrong when really the shot would never work in the first place. Spent many a shooting day on one shot that is scraped on edit. -Minybenjy

4. In it for the money.

I was an extra in a few movies (mostly TV and one Hollywood movie)- none of them an award winner. Mostly everyone is there for the paycheck and catering - we hardly care about the subject matter. -dayofthedead204

5. Your heart will go on.

From the crew’s perspective: The pressure is very high on these sets - schedules are very strict, time is very short, and money is very tight. It can often be chaotic. But the soldiers on the ground, making the movie, are the best in the world at their job. They got to where they are by working hard and being damn good at what they do. Otherwise, their union wouldn’t have taken them in. And often it is impossible to see, through the fog of war, that they are making a bad movie. The poor quality of their work is a result of ineffective and confusing leadership.

From the director or producer’s perspective, it's like being on the deck of the Titanic as it goes down. You’re dealing with sh*t from the studio. Your vision is disintegrating before your eyes. The process of your story’s destruction happened so slowly that you didn’t realize it until it was too late. You’re scrambling to preserve a little bit of the creative spark that got the little script here in the first place, and you can’t sleep. You’ll never work again. You try to keep it together, but the stress and chaos often makes the situation even worse.

It TOTALLY F*CKING SUCKS being on these sets. You want to take pride in your work. The best you can do is be there for your fellow crewmates and work your ass off so you'll be hired for the next one.

So, when an objectively “BAD” movie gets made in Hollywood, it’s generally a product of poor leadership and crappy management. No production team sets out to make a bad movie, the system creates them. -ChattyP

6. Does the show rhyme with "Shmig Shmang Shmeory"?

I worked for a TV show -- high Nielsen ratings, but dumb show. The crew was there because it was a job (they were a really good crew too). Didn't really care about the script or subject matter. Actors likewise didn't seem care, unless asked in interviews of course. The producers and publicity were always trying to pump everyone up though, and tout awards and such. But no one paid much attention, it was just a job for us. Although I will say, in LA, you always have to watch your mouth and not speak badly of your show or another show. You don't know who's worked on what and might get offended. -mynockulars

7. You never know until it's done.

I've been on both sides -- production and creative. From a below the line perspective, working on a good or bad movie is pretty similar. You're doing the best you can (unless you hate the director/producer). Lighting a shot is fairly similar, regardless. So is catering, so is being a PA. You might get a slight buzz if you're working on something that you KNOW is going to be good... but honestly? A lot of the time you can't really tell, other than the names involved.

Now, speaking from an above the line perspective... it's hell. I'm not talking about when you make a movie and it turns out to be bad, which sucks, I'm talking about when you're making a movie and you're watching either the director or the studio make every mistake possible.

Imagine you're in a car. You're cruising down the highway -- and you hit black ice. Now you're sliding out of control, spinning down the highway. And there's a semi coming in the other direction. You turn, you brake, you hit the gas, but man, it doesn't f*cking matter. And you have a good five seconds before the semi hits you. So you're just waiting to be obliterated.

It feels like that, only it takes years to make a movie. Sometimes, you write a movie, and really, the only reason you want your name in the credits is because the WGA will give you more residuals. Basically, you get paid more if you're credited than if you're not. -- but no one really wants to take credit for the monkey scene. -filmmakerthrowaway23

8. Stay loose.

I was in a movie for SyFy. Going in to it you know it's not Shakespeare. Most people have the same attitude about it and that can make for a looser atmosphere. There is a ton of goofing around and generally not taking anything too seriously. The pressure is less for a movie of that caliber. Because of that there is room to improvise. There is something fun about being in something terrible...sometimes.

On the other hand, I have been in a bad TV show for ABC and it was not such a good time. The pressure from the execs was palpable and it made everyone stress. The amount of money and resources that goes in to a show like that is mind boggling. When you have two weeks to shoot one show with huge set pieces and a large ensemble it makes the work less about getting it right and more about getting it in the can and off to the Studio. We still had fun, but the pressure made for some interesting days. -moderatesoul

9. May the Force be with you.

10 year vet of Hollywood here.

NOBODY has any idea how the movie is going to turn out. I worked on a movie that I was sure was going to be a sh*tty Vince Vaughn movie.

"Old School"

In the 70s, people couldn't wait to get off the set of a sh*tty sic-fi movie with what seemed like terrible production values.

"Star Wars"

The movie I was in that I was SURE was going to be a hit starred Jim Carrey and was directed by Frank Darabont (The Green Mile, The Walking Dead).

"The Majestic"

TL;DR Nobody has any f*cking clue what they are doing. -Bsnargleplexis

Working at any of the Disney theme parks involves a whole lot of interfacing with the public, and the people who are drawn to theme parks tend to run the gamut from friendly casual visitors, to deeply unhinged obsessive types.

While all customer service jobs include some stories from the battlefield of the public, there is an extra kick to any story that goes down while you're dressed as a fictional characters.

In a popular Reddit thread, people who worked as Disney characters shared their creepiest and weirdest stories from the job, and they all deserve raises.

1. From pathfire:

Not so much "behind the scenes" stuff, but one of my favorite stories. I worked at Epcot for 8 years, and this happened sometime in the early '90s.

There was a couple from somewhere in the Midwest that had driven to Miami to adopt a disabled child (their 9th?). On the way home they decided to stop at Disney World for the kids. After pulling into the Epcot parking lot, their handi-van caught fire. They got all the kids out, but the van was a total loss. Disney put them all up in one of their hotels while the couple tried to figure out what to do next.

Turns out...there was a convention of Rotary International at the Swan hotel. One of the members saw the story on the news and at breakfast the next morning, passed the hat among the members. They ended up collecting enough to buy the couple a brand new van, extra equipment for all the kids, and a hefty check left over. I have always held a certain amount of pride in the Rotary club for this amazing generosity.

2. From Sarkuvaria:

Part creepy but mostly crazy story here. We had a rich guest come in to Club 33 (super secret yet not so secret restaurant in New Orleans Square) for the first time I believe and he wanted a private room and some Disney princesses to "have fun with" and wondered if any of the hostesses or waitresses were interested when we told him we could not accommodate him.

3. From ImMissBrightside:

There weren't many of the creepy internet rumor type stories for me. I feel like a lot of those come from people who like the idea of a "corrupted Disneyland."

I will say though, some of the areas were really unsettling when they were empty and dark. Toontown was one, especially since it always closes early. The twisted proportions are cartoony during the day, but when you're alone at night, it just feels really...wrong. Like you might see a mascot running at you out of the dark.

4. From stephyduh28:

I used to work at the box office, I once had a woman come up and ask for a ticket into Disneyland, she then placed a box on the counter while looking for her wallet. Idk how she managed to get that box past security. I see a picture on it and then I see dates I realize that they are the ashes of her little girl. I had to keep her at my window while I waited for security. It broke my heart but a lot of people like to dump ashes on rides and it literally just gets vacuumed up at the end of the night.

5. From cduff77:

Not creepy in the traditional sense, just personally scary.

I worked night shift at DAK, and was working out on the safari at like 3AM. As I was struggling to get something working near the hippo river, I heard one of the hippos do their crazy loud noise out of the pitch blackness like 5 feet away from me. I then had the terrifying realization that if I fell in, I would most likely be killed within a minute and wouldn't be discovered until the morning when they would find my truck on the ride path.

I was much more careful in that area after that thought.

6. From simplybenny:

This was a while ago now but it still makes me smiley and nostalgic.

Character performers, such as myself, are only out during specific time slots during the day for pictures. When those times end, usually guests aren't allowed to enter the queue anymore, and we finish up taking photos with those remaining. Unfortunately, this day was particularly hot and fur characters had been experiencing issues (i.e. fainting) due to the heat, so they were packing us up rather quickly at the end of shifts. Dale and I (Chip) were waving our goodbyes to the guests when we heard this child absolutely WAILING her lungs out over not being able to meet us--she wasn't being bratty, she sounded genuinely upset.

My attendant is the best. The crowd dispersed a bit and she was able to catch up with the parents. She found out they would be returning tomorrow, and since we all had shifts the following day, we pulled some strings to set up a small meeting. Here's how it went down:

The parents, as instructed to, brought her to Critter Country a while before the first meet and greet of the day. I crept up behind her and gently put my paws over her eyes, and pulled them back to reveal Dale striking this wonderfully heroic pose in front of her. I still remember how she screamed in excitement when she realized her favorite Disney characters had come out just to spend some time her. We gave her autographs and did photos, then spent the rest of the time playing tag. :)

7. From Eticket15:

I worked at one the Restaurants in MK. I had a family abandon their adult son, who was in a wheelchair with a slew of health complications, in the middle of our walkway while they went on rides. He was there for about 2-3 hours.

8. From bibbityboppityburner:

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Towel Baby. Most people who worked at WDW-MK in the early 2000s heard of or met Towel Baby. It's a rather sad story so I'll try to tell it respectfully.

Several times a week a couple with annual passes came to the Magic Kingdom with what appeared to be a swaddled infant. However, if you looked closely, the woman was carrying a rolled up towel wrapped in a hospital newborn blanket. The man was always very gentle, leading his wife through security and into the park. I'm not certain if they went on rides but I know for sure that they always asked for a table for three at restaurants. They came through my turnstile a few times and while the woman rarely made eye contact, they were always soft spoken and respectful. The story / legend was that the couple had lost an infant years prior and the woman fell into a deep depression and became delusional. The only thing that kept her somewhat functional was fussing over this towel and coming to the Magic Kingdom.

Observing them navigate the park was a masterclass in compassion, not only watching the husband care for his wife, but seeing every single cast member treat them both with respect and kindness. I remember managers telling us not to make fun of them (obviously) but also not to fuss over them - they're just another family enjoying the park.

9. From IncognitoWhale:

Former Walt Disney World merchandise cast member here. Was on the Disney College Program last Fall. I worked primarily in the Star Tours gift shop "Tattooine Traders". This is one of my best stories.

We had several autographed pictures behind the counter; Luke, Han, Leia and Chewie was $10,000. I was on the register near the pictures when this older gentleman asked me how much the center piece was. I told him "ten thousand dollars sir!". He looked at me and said "that would look great in my theatre room, how many do you have in stock?". I said "two including the one on display" he said "perfect I'll take both!". The total after taxes was a bit over $20,000. I was a bit flustered swiping that credit card, I know there are some rich people out there but never really got to see if first hand. My favorite part is that as I offered to ship it home for him he says "no thanks! I brought my plane with me!"

10. From unicornCornUnique:

I worked at Hollywood Studios for more than a year while I went to UCF.

The dumbest story I have is about a woman who exited the ride where I worked and discovered wet stuff coming from the sky. I was standing near Stroller parking helping people organize strollers.

The woman came up to me and told me that she didn’t like the wet stuff coming from the sky and that I should tell my boss to turn it off. At first, I laughed because I thought she was kidding, which only pissed her off more.

“Don’t they know that this stuff ruins people’s vacations?” She said.

“We have no way of controlling the rain, ma’am. This is Florida and we get quick storms like this in the summer, but it might go away after a while,” I said.

“What about the bubble?” She said.

I was thoroughly confused by what she meant by bubble so I had to ask that she was saying “bubble.”

Apparently she thought that all of Disney was under a big bubble and we controlled the weather, like Risa on Star Trek.

I confirmed that there was no bubble, that this was the real deal.

She walked away insisting that something should be done about it.

But that’s just one of the many, many stupid things that happened during my time as a CM. It was just one of the dumbest conversations I had.

11. From MeleMallory:

I worked at a restaurant in Downtown Disney in California as a host. James Spader came in once, tried to get a table with his dog. Who was obviously not a service dog (and even if it was an emotional support dog, they don’t have to be legally allowed inside a restaurant.) I told him I would be happy to seat him if he left his dog at the Kennel, right across the esplanade, but I could not seat his dog inside - what if a health inspector came in?

He yelled at me so much, his face turned red. He told my manager to fire me. Luckily, the restaurant had a patio, and the manager sat Spader at a table on the patio closest to the exit so we wouldn’t get in trouble. My manager actually stood up for me, told Spader I was right. Spader still tried to get me fired. This was 10 years ago, I still hate James Spader with a red hot passion. Such an entitled ass. And since he always plays a*sholes, I know he’s not even a good actor. However, Christian Slater was very polite when he came in.

12. From Bkbee:

Creepiest: Got deployed (they needed people, so they moved me there) to Animal Kingdom for a week. I was at The Dinosaur ride as merchandise and was leaving at night when everything was stocked and clean. Forgot where I was for a second when I heard screeching noises. They still haven't turned off the Dinosaur noises and it was pitch black outside.

Craziest - I worked at Club Cool at Epcot. Had a Brazilian father, pull down his daughter pants and let her pee on our floor.

Another Club Cool one. People would try Beverley (Italy's "Soda") and instead of puking in the trash, they would puke on the soda machine and we would have to shut it down and clean it.

I got asked about putting the dome up when it was raining.

When working at the Mission Space gift shop, I had a 3 hour stand off with a guest who was stealing Vinylmations from us.

My last official day working at Animal kingdom before getting transferred to the Grand Floridian Resort was the opening day of Pandora at Animal Kingdom. I worked 17 hours that day. The wait time to get into Pandora from the Discovery Island Bridge was 5 hours and another 5 hours wait time to ride the Banshee ride.

Lots and lots of drunk people when I worked at Epcot.

13. From iswimprettyfast:

At Disney right now.

Jungle cruise ride malfunctioned and elephants started spraying everyone like it was a fire hose. That was pretty funny.

14. From jrm2007:

I knew a woman who played a female character from an animated film. She (and presumably many other such actresses) have to fend off countless come-ons from adult males (often with their kids and even wives nearby) without breaking character. There are security guards watching such actresses, discretely but they are not far. And they will have a chat with the most persistent.

15. From Missat0micb0mbs:

Of course I don’t work there, but my aunt and uncle do. Uncle told us that among the bitter employees, Mickey is referred to as “the rat.” My favorite tidbit is that because nothing bad is supposed to happen in Disney, there’s weird euphemisms for a lot of things. If there needs to be a puke cleanup at one of the rides it’s called in as a “protein spill”.

16. From Darweezy:

Former employee, but not of the the parks themselves. We were given a tour backstage at Disneyland and I have an image burned into my mind that has never escaped me. It was of a clothing rack, one on wheels, placed back behind the tower of Terror. On it, placed on hooks, were about 10 Mickey Mouse heads that must of been either drying after a wash or moving to a new location. The blood orange sunset, combined with the tower and what appeared to be decapitated Mickey heads hanging from hooks is a fond creepy memory.

17. From hunnyycakes:

I was a CM from 2007-2014. It was said that there is a ghost of a little girl at Soarin on B side. They say she died in the parking lot before DCA was built, but no one can say exactly how. Some have claimed to hear footsteps coming up the metal stairs that lead below the screen during a flight. But the tower cm is the only one there since the room is closed off during a flight and an open door would stop it immediately. So imagine sitting there, basically tuning out the show you’ve heard SO many times, and start hearing metallic footsteps. It’s dark, you feel like you’re being watched. Very uneasy feeling.

18. From Sgt-Tibbs:

I got two different people banned for life from Disney...both in the same store in a one month period...one was trying to return stolen merchandise for credit, the other was stealing pins.

The dumba*s stealing pins actually used their credit card to purchase something else and my investigative skills came into work. Found all of the receipts from the time of the theft, looked them up on Facebook, and found the girl. More people in their party came in later to steal more, and the guy involved this time was wearing the EXACT shirt from his FB pic. I alerted our management, who alerted security. Guests ended up being charged to their rooms for the pins that were stolen, and asked to never return to WDW property.

Other story is during my time at the Front Desk there was this woman who was reeking havoc all over property. Her Magic File (think Disney permanent record) was as mile long and traversed parks and resorts. Some of the stories were bonkers. This woman left her 'service dog' in her room all day while they were at the park, she complained that she was allergic to onions after ordering french onion soup, and let her dog relieve itself in the lobby of Wilderness Lodge and say that it wasn't her mess to clean up. Yeah, after so long security finally came to her room and informed her that she was no longer allowed on property. She is banned for life.

19. From contaminatedesert:

Don't want to out who I am, but I used to work as a host at a restaurant on Main St at DL. I HAVE SOO MANY STORIES!

One woman came up and asked where the bathrooms were, so I told her. She then decided that the line was too long so she tried to just pull down her pants and pee in the lobby. Security came VERY quickly!

A lot of people try and spread their loved ones ashes at DL. It's very popular in the Rivers of America. I've never seen it but apparently security stops someone once a week.

20. From dinosaregaylikeme:

Not a worker but my husband and I had passes there and would go bi weekly.

We saw two grown men fight over the last seat of a tram. One was with his family and the other was alone. It was midnight, everyone was tired, and there were a lot of people. But trams come every five minutes so no biggie.

But the man who was alone was not going to wait five minutes and ripped the father out of his seat so he can get go.

Cue what my dear and I called the Tram Fight.

The father tried to fight the man to get back with his family. But the other guy was not having it. A cast member and security guard had to push the man off the father. They helped the father back on with his family and told the man to walk back to the parking lot.

The walk back to the parking lot means walking around the tram pick up, halfway through downtown disney, outside of the park, and back to the parking lot. Takes about 10 minutes, we done it millions of times. But it feels like an hour if it is midnight and you been walking since 8am.

But you can spot Disney collection of stray cats that keep the rodent population down. They are only seen at early or late hours.

So the man had to walk back to the parking lot and it was great.

While some parts of the United States have already started reopening, others are now settling into two solid months of quarantine...

That's two months of online classes, homeschooling kids with cabin fever, Zoom happy hours, panic-reading the news, masked grocery shopping and wondering if life will ever go back to normal, if we even know what normal is anymore. These are certainly strange times and if you feel like you've lost all sense of who you are, what day it is, what year it is, where you live and when March (?) is going to end, you're definitely not alone. Days become a blur when you haven't worn real pants in sixty days and you've watched everything all streaming devices have to offer while drinking wine on Zoom with your friends in little squares.

While it's still critical to socially distance and support your local essential workers, we could all definitely use a laugh. Last week, we brought you the funniest tweets from people who still have no clue what day it is and this week is no different. Enjoy and stay safe, everyone! (And for the record: today is Thursday in the month of purple and the year of the Pineapple).

In general, babies aren't super violent or dangerous.

By merit of their lack of muscle they tend to be very weak, and similarly, their lack of experience in the world makes them unjaded and easy to please. If you've ever handed a baby something squishy and watched them gasp at it, like an MDMA addled adult at a dance club, then you know they are down to have a good time. Still, all of this positive PR doesn't mean they're trustworthy with gentle keepsakes.

Anyone whose been around a baby more than a few hours knows they are tiny forces of destruction, and even the most seemingly baby proof room can be rendered a wasteland in a matter of minutes if a little one is unsupervised.

However, there are apparently exceptions babies take in their reigns of terror. According to the TikTok user @cassandranguyen981, there's a saying that if you give a baby an egg, they will be gentle with it (sounds fake, but okay).

When Nguyen tested out the saying on her own baby, she was surprised by how true it was, and it quickly set off a chain reaction of moms filming their babies gently cradling eggs.

The results are truly wholesome and surprising - because there is a consistently gentle reaction to the egg.

Some babies even took to dutifully kissing the eggs.

While others tried to see how they taste.

There were, of course, babies whose curiosity rendered them the exception to the egg rule.

Still, most of the babies were captivated by the eggs, and careful to not harm them.

To many babies, the eggs looked like an ideal snack, despite being almost the size of their heads.

If anything, the weird trend proved that extra eggs can serve as soothing toys for a lot of babies.

The look of glee that many babies got from the experience was well worth the trend.

Some of the babies grabbed the egg and went waddling away, likely to nest with their new friend.

Rather than running, others sat in contemplation of their egg.

A few babies had close calls with the eggs.

While others weren't trying to follow the herd.

At this point, the TikTok videos of babies with eggs are endless, and they serve as a wholesome and bizarre balm to our world weary souls.

"You can usually tell that a man is good if he has a dog who loves him."

-W. Bruce Cameron

If you have a dog who loves you, you have it all. Dogs are the best and they deserve constant belly rubs and endless treats. Yes, my dog is staring at me right now and forcing me to write this, but it's all true. These hilariously adorable dog memes will warm the heart of anyone who loves animals.

A common theme in children's movies is personified animals who are smart and verbal and have rich inner lives (shoutout to anyone who still tears up remembering the end of Homeward Bound). But these movies may not be as far from reality as we think. Animals are capable of a lot more than we expect or give them credit for. Many people who live or work with animals already know this.

Someone asked farmers of Reddit: "what did your animals do that made you go 'how the f**k did you do that'?" These 22 people share the crazy and unbelievable things their pets or farm animals have done that blew their f**king minds:

1.) From behoovle:

Worked at a stable with 53 horses and 1 donkey.

One morning, while feeding, I came across an empty stall that hadn't been empty at 11 p.m. the night before. This stall belonged to a huge Fresian x Percheron stallion. The mystery was:

The stall door was completely closed and secure, and I was alone, so no one else would have taken him.

How did this giant horse teleport out of his stall?

Well, we had small feed windows that some of the horses had learned to open with their mouths. This wasn't a big deal as we'd just latch them shut with clips. The openings were big enough for them to stick their heads out, but not really their bodies lol

His was open. So he actually somehow squeezed through the feed window, jumped maybe? I have no idea to this day how it happened...

But it gets better:

I had left all the mares outside overnight. My heart sank when I ran to the pasture and found him chasing/breeding with all the girls, like his own harem. He had a sexy fun night.

It was a rough day having to parade all the mares past his stall to see if they mated, and then calling their owners to tell them their horses needed plan B.

2.) From GossipForDogs:

Only have a small hobby farm, not a farmer farmer, but... It’s always goats or cows, man. We took on a rehome goat to join our small mob of 5 Arapawa wethers. He needed to be introduced very slowly, because Arapawas are absolute bastards about the pecking order. We locked him up in a small stall in the goat hut, where the only gap was about 15cm between the roof of the hut and the top of the metal gate. The next morning, the locked gate was still there and the goat was not. Found him joyfully frolicking in the paddock with the others, because goats are a) contrarians and b) liquid.

My favourite “how the f*ck” moment was definitely our neighbour’s cow. Old mate has been a farmer for 40+ years, and knows his shit. He raises beef cattle as a side gig, and had selected a few of them for the meatworks. He hadn’t had the bull in with any of the girls so none of them were in calf, and calving season was done anyway. But cows are too smart by half, so one of them decided to drop a calf an hour before the truck showed up to cart everyone off to the abattoir. Having an immaculate conception baby to get out of something you don’t wanna do is a pretty boss move. Needless to say, she (and junior) got to stay home that day.

3.) From TheDukeOfDonkeys:

Had a donkey that would open gates. For the horses and cows. Then he'd just walk through the fence into a closed pasture. I'd get back from running errands and the place would be a shitshow. The horses would be destroying the hay barn and the cows were in the neighbor's hay fields or tearing up the lawn. And the donkey is off on his own like he had nothing to do with it.

4.) From crazyboergoatlady:

I had a goat that would turn the barn lights off and on at night. No clue why he did it, and he always shut them off after turning them on. We weren't sure exactly WHO was working the light switch, but suspected it was him (he was a fairly bright individual, no pun intended). It was confirmed that it was indeed Chevy flipping them on/off when we gifted him to a lady who fell in love with him when visiting the farm, and the lights have not been turned on by anything other than a human since

5.) From droppingeves:

Grew up with horses. Had this one mare who was TOO smart. She would shove hay/objects under her water spigot and flood the barn if you did not pay enough attention to her. She had 4 locks on her stall because she figured out how to open all of them, including a caribeaner clip. On more than one occasion during the night, she would escape her stall, unlock all the other horses stalls and have a horse party till morning, when there's half a dozen horses in the garden eating the summer vegetables and another half dozen clip-clopping down the road, confusing motorists.

6.) From dexx4d:

Largest muscovy drake we had broke into the juvenile chicken coop, through a door that was way too small for him, and gorged himself on their high-protein feed. He couldn't get back out.

7.) From Solobotomy:

I grew up on a farm. One year we had goats that were constantly getting out of the pen, which had a 6' fence. My dad built it up to 10', and an hour later they were out again. He puts up army netting over the top of the whole enclosure, looks out the window half an hour later, and a goat is walking along the top of the fence like it's no big deal.

8.) From Quinnley1:

One of my neighbors called me to let me know she had come home to find one of my young goats (like 5 months old) inside her house down the road.

To this day we have no idea how the f*ck that happened ... no holes in either layer of fencing on my end, no other people in her home who could have brought him in there, she had no pet door and none of her doors was ajar when she got home. She did however have a few open windows on her second story so we are thinking maybe he climbed a tree next to her house and jumped? But goats usually aren't very graceful or precise creatures so no clue how honestly.

9.) From sneakycurbstomp:

Cow on the roof. They climb ladders sometimes but can’t get down.

10.) From Sweetsugarcrisp:

A mob of yearlings somehow carried an old tractor cab (no longer attached to the tractor obviously) 1/4 mile across a paddock. It was heavy enough we had to use the loader to put it back again.

Also a steer wearing an old tyre like a necklace. He could have shaken it off at anytime, but he chose not to.

Cattle-proofing your yard is harder than it first appears.

11.) From farmallnoobies:

I saw a barn cat successfully take down and kill a wild turkey.

To this day, I still can't believe my own eyes.

12.) From Lo452:

Full-grown Nubian goat - taking about 3/3.5 feet tall at the shoulders, a good 150-170 lbs. Squeezed her bitchy fat ass through the 2x2 foot pop door in the chicken coop. For no other reason but to see what was in there. Then proceeded to climb up the 1 ft wide, 4 ft long particle board gang plank to the raised roosts and laying boxes when I tried to get the out of the coop through the man door. I still have no idea how a dinky ramp we build from scrap for chickens held her fat ass. She then taught her shorter but fatter daughter how to do it. This was done multiple times until fencing was altered so they couldn't get to the coop at all.

They also get poop into places with scary accuracy. Just, anything in the goat barn it at risk if getting poop on or in it.

13.) From BoredCop:

Grew up on a farm. We had a ram, of the big curly horns variety. You don't want lambs to be born midwinter when conditions are harsh and feed is short, so you keep the ram away from the ewes except when the timing is right.

This ram could smell ewes in heat, on the other side of a very sturdy door made entirely from 2x4 and held by heavy-duty hinges. Deadbolted, of course.

He spent several days and nights repeatedly headbutting that door, just running at it full tilt every few seconds. One morning we found a broken door, and a very happy ram amongst exhausted ewes who could barely stand on their feet.

A literal battering ram

14.) From urbancowgirl42:

We had several entertaining animals.

Nana the calf figured out how to open every door in the barn. She did hundreds of dollars of damage to the saddles by chewing on them to get the salt from the horse’s sweat. She later got addicted to the root beer candy in Dad’s overalls pocket. That, and the fact we used to wrestle when she was a calf, led to a full-grown Nala greeting my father by sticking her head between his legs and flipping him onto her back in an attempt to get the candy. He normally didn’t keep bucket calves, but she was a character and very intelligent.

We had a pig that thought it was a horse. Wasn’t happy unless she was roaming the pastures with the herd.

The neighbor had a dog that could shoot basketballs into the hoop. We got a pup off of him and she was crazy smart. She trained the rest of the cow dogs to follow.

We had a goat that would break up bull fights. Bulls fighting is a bad deal because they can break their penises, rendering them worthless. The goat would horn them in the nuts to break it up. He would also bathe in the bull piss, so he didn’t smell very good.

15.) From White_Wolf_Dreamer:

Our cat was a stray that someone dumped, and she hung around our place for a while before we actually took her in. During that time, my grandma had gotten her hip replaced, and her nurses were worried she might trip on the cat while trying to get in the car for physical therapy appointments, so my grandma decided to let one of the nurses take the cat to the humane society, which was at least a few miles away, down many busy streets and a highway. Two days after she took the cat there, I opened the door, and the cat was sitting right on the front stoop, looking peeved off. My grandma let her in, and said 'Okay, she lives here now'.

16.) From Exotic_Hauler:

My uncle has a Polaroid picture of a cow standing on top of his cattle hauler. No, I don’t mean a pickup truck trailer. I mean a full blown semi truck cattle hauler.

It’s looking at the cowboys and the cowboys are looking at it. And nobody knows what the hell is going on.

17.) From Rhamblings:

My granparents had a dog who was immortal. He got hit by a train twice, kicked by several cows, they lost count of how many cars he got hit by, all of that and all he was missing was a leg. His most incredible feat was somehow ending up in Minnesota from their place in Manitoba a good 500km away, my granparents only found out because a friend of theirs saw him.

18.) From wip43196:

my pet goat once opened my password-locked safe. I don't know how, or why.

19.) From Kuchenkrusher:

Had a dog that would find ways out of her kennel somehow. Never escaped while we watched though. Finally, my brother and I hid around the corner of the house to see what she did. She went to the latch, pushed it up with her nose, opened the door, then turned back around to shut and re-lock the door. They’re one of the smartest dog breeds for a reason!

EDIT: She was an American Eskimo. Sorry for not specifying!

20.) From megabob7:

I once had to climb a tree twice in one day to get the same goat down wasnt fun Especially since i basically had to jump out holding a 50 pound goat in my arms felt wonderful on my ankles

21.) From Crochet_MA:

My golden opened a tin can of beans from the grocery bag. Girl loved beans.

22.) From FranticPonE:

Had a dog that would take herself for walks.

Could leap over a ten foot fence with ease, even when she got older she would do it. Then she'd just wander around wherever she wanted for hours like a cat. Over time she learned to avoid anyone trying to capture her or bring her back home or to the pound. Never got hurt, never failed to return though she did come back once just past midnight. She was pleased and happy with herself too, like she'd just had a ton of fun but had gotten tired.

When does a person officially become an adult? Is it when they're old enough to rent a car? Is it when you have a bar mitzvah?

People on Twitter acknowledge the lesser-known milestones that mark adulthood. You know you've aged up when you're responsible about ice cubes and wish The Little Mermaid made better, more rational choices.

“A girl can wait for the right man to come along but in the meantime that doesn't mean she can't have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones.”
-Cher

Single people are living the damn dream. Married folks are totally jealous they don't get to have all of the fun, freedom, and fabulousness that single people experience on a regular basis. These memes totally nail the ridiculousness of being unattached and looking for love in today's world.

Most people would agree that children's medical decisions should be both parents — but what about when one of the parents is staunchly anti-vaccine?

A woman recently posted on Reddit about just such a situation, and she's looking for advice on whether she should jab her kids without telling her ex.

The woman and her husband had an ugly divorce:

I (27f) have two kids, 3f and 1m. When I got divorced, it was horrible. We couldn't work with joint custody, and in the end I was awarded sole custody of both our kids. My ex husband can still visit the kids, but he doesn't have any say in any education or medical decision regarding them.

She wants to vaccinate their two kids, but she knows her ex won't like it:

Neither of them are vaccinated. I want to get them vaccinated now, but I know ex husband will loose his s*** if I do. I know I will legally be in the right. But would it be an asshole move to make a medical decision regarding our kids without at least telling my ex simply because he won't like it and I don't feel like dealing with him?

She has set a precedent of clearing other medical decisions with him:

He loves the kids, and I have discussed other medical decisions regarding them with him before even though I didn't need to. I just know he'll react very badly to this one.

She clarifies that she will vaccinate her children either way, she just wants to know whether it's okay to hide it from him:

Still going to vaccinate the kids no matter what, I just want to know whether it is an asshole move to not let him know beforehand. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

People agree that she should vaccinate her children without guilt, but they disagree over whether she should tell her ex.

ScyllaFalciformus puts it succinctly:

He’s the a**hole for not wanting to vaccinate your kids.

RememberKoomValley believes that his lack of legal standing makes the case clear-cut:

He legally doesn't have any say in medical decisions? Then he can go piss up a rope and see if that saves him from the measles. Don't tell him. Don't even bring it up. Protect your kids.

TUGrad agrees:

The court obviously thought you were the logical choice to make these decisions. The fact that your ex was not granted joint custody, which is the court's general preference, means that the judge found something lacking in his character. Considering his preference to not vaccinate your children, it seems the court decided correctly, bc he is obviously mentally unfit.

Efficient-Leek suggests disclosing it to him afterward anyway:

Before next time he sees them AFTER they are vaccinated tell him, very matter of factly "we went to the doctors and got their well checks done and vaccines up to date.

If he wants to freak out remind him he has no legal say in their medical care. That the courts/you guys decided he doesn't have that right. That's it. He has no say in medical decisions regarding your kids. End of story

So there you go. In the court of public opinion, an anti-vax ex's opinions are moot.

As people around the world enter the fourth month of pandemic lockdowns, some people are slowly starting to break the rules. Some say the Kardashians are among the apparent offenders, but Khloé insists they didn't do anything wrong.

It all started on Scott Disick's birthday. The clan recently posted videos on social media that showed them celebrating at a party. Most of the videos have disappeared from their stories, and the fam kept their permanent posts to only a couple of people:

But fan accounts re-posted a few videos that proved there were more than small groups of two in attendance. And Khloé Kardashian weighed in on one video after a fan criticized her family.

The video in question shows two of the Kardashian babies, True Thompson and Stormi Webster, doing cute baby things.

One Instagram user commented on the apparent lack of social distancing, saying:

Khloé must have been bored because she responded not once, but twice. First, she claimed that the party had fewer than 10 people in attendance, so it was in accordance with the current California regulations:

And in another comment, she said she was frustrated by people trying to catch her family out:

But fans aren't totally convinced. User queenbee__6899 disputed Khloé's math, saying::

we saw psalm, north, saint, storm, true and chy. I’m SURE Scott’s kids would be there soon that makes 9 kids right there. Clearly Scott is at his bday, I hear kim, khloe and kJ. That alone is 13. I guess the problem isn’t the party, my thing is khloe put out statement on story to keep gatherings 10 or less, when she isn’t doing that! Unless babies count as a half, I’m not sure😬anyway, do u! Y’all been quarantined long enough. But just saying. Khloe so quick to jump on here and try to say people hating. She just doesn’t keep it real. Just like them heavily edited FaceTune pics

Another user pointed out that being family doesn't exempt the group from COVID-19 risks:

We're not sure what the Kardashians did, but rules are rules whether you're hanging out with your cousins or complete strangers. Sorry, Khlo!

“Until you're ready to look foolish, you'll never have the possibility of being great.”
-Cher

Don't be afraid to look a little foolish. These silly memes will have you laughing out loud. It's truly the best way to start off your day.

We've all heard someone try to drop some knowledge into a conversation that is just so far from the truth you don't even know if you should bother correcting them.

Especially in these chaotic times we're currently living in, fake news and "alt facts" are particularly abundant. Leaving out chunks of the truth in any story or piece of information is not accurate or honest reporting-whether that is a news story from the media or a white lie you're texting your friends to get out of a brunch birthday party. With modern technology and the internet, we're lucky enough to be able to live our lives with all of humanity's knowledge of the universe in our pockets. Fact-checking friends, reporters, and politicians has never been easier so there's no excuse not to spread the truth. (Unfortunately, murder hornets and UFO sightings are real, though...)

So, when a recent Reddit user asked, "What is the most hilariously inaccurate 'fact' someone has told you?" people were definitely ready to share the most ridiculous bits of false information others tried to pass off as the truth.

When adults act like children, it's hardly a surprise. Just watch any Judd Apatow (or any comedy or the news, for that matter) and you see grown-ups acting like kids everyday. On the flip side, when children act like adults, it can be either the most adorable or heartbreaking thing imaginable

A Reddit thread asked the internet, "What’s the most adult thing you’ve ever seen a child do?" For once, you'll feel hopeful that the future is in good hands.

1. Be my baby.

My little nephew and niece were having a serious discussion about what should be done about “the baby,” this morning. My nephew wanted my niece to put the baby in her bed so that it could continue sleeping there. My niece argued instead that the baby was better off on the couch where both “parents” could keep an eye on it.

The baby was me. I crashed on the couch and they came downstairs very early in the morning and I guess they started playing pretend that I was their baby. They then tried to cram ice cream down my throat as I pretended to sleep, because I’d been a “good baby.” -Friendly5GLizardJew

2. Children are our future.

My 4 year old son walks around the house turning the lights off in unoccupied rooms and scolding me because it’s bad for the “enviromen”. -brighterdaze

3. Good advice.

I work as a waitress near the beach, and i always get sunburn at the start of the season when i forget my sunscreen or something like it in the chaos of the shifts. This little girl comes up to me to tell me "miss, you are burning and you need to put on sunscreen" and handed me her 50spf kids sunscreen. I dont know if her parents maybe said something to each other about me or she was just really bright and caring. -​​​​​​Your-goldfish

4. She's way more mature than most adults, especially her mother.

To put it simply, my niece’s mom is an absolute piece of sh*t. My niece is 8 and her mom has been in and out the entire time. My niece hasn’t seen her in over a year. she constantly looks forward to next time she will see her even though her mom disappoints her every single time. so this past mother’s day instead of being depressed about not seeing her mom, she and her friend (who I think also has mom issues) decided that each month they would pick a woman in their life to look up to. My niece has a ton of women in her life and it was just really amazing to see her begin to accept that she will never have a genuine relationship with her mother. She’s always been way too f*cking intelligent for her age. -ma1645300

5. Is he taking clients?

Develop a savings plan at 16 to buy a house when he turned 18. Dude worked at McDonald's at the time, but was way more mature than all of the adults that worked there. -TheMerk10

6. Portrait of a Sitcom Dad as a Young Man.

Come home from school, grab a pop from the fridge, and sit down in a recliner and sigh like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. -Trip_The_3rd

7. Ahead of his time.

I saw a kid, maybe 5, walk into the grocery store saying in total seriousness, “ok, so the deal is we’re just going to grab what we need and leave, right? Because I don’t want to be here longer than I have to.” His parents replied, “yes that’s right.” And he was like, “ok good, because I didn’t want to come shopping in the first place.” That child had the soul of a grumpy old man and I loved it. -Hereatrandom

8. She's an empath.

So my daughter was five when I had my son. I can’t remember exactly what she was asking me to do but I had forgotten or couldn’t get to it or something. Mostly I remember her saying “it’s ok mom. I know babies are hard” and she just melted my heart in that moment. -​​​​​​EmotionalOven4

9. Were they Freaky Fridayed?

One time at Target, I overheard a mother and her son speaking. She was asking if they could buy something, and this kid says "no mom, we just cleaned the car, we don't need any more junk laying around." Mom says "pleeeeeaaaase?" in a whiny voice, and he says no again.

I was pretty shocked by their conversation, I remember there was more but clearly she was the child in that relationship and that kid (couldn't have been older than 10) was parenting her. At one point I saw her speedwalk out of an aisle with something in her hands and a mischievous grin.

To this day, I think about that kid and wonder how he's doing. They were clearly experiencing hard times and it breaks my heart that he had to be such a grown up. -venti-depresso

10. This kid is more effective than Nicotine.

I have friends that are married with 2 kids. They both smoke. By the age their son(oldest) was 4 he knew it was bad to smoke. He would find their cigarettes and throw them away. As he got older, he realized that they could just take them out of the garbage. So he started breaking them and running them underwater before throwing them away. They would get annoyed but never mad at him. He would say, “I love you and I don’t want you to die!” So they just tried to hide their cigarettes better. -Wolf_of_Seattle

11. Mr. Fix-It, Jr.

Today I was bummed that my leaf blower quit working. I went to put it in the trash can. My 11 yr old heard me talking about it, went and got it, took it apart, fixed it, and brought it back to me. He’s never fixed anything like that before. Love that kid! -taco_the_turtle

12. A lil' libertarian.

I was talking about this guy I know who's a real piece of trash and her 5 year old pipes up and says "why doesn't he accept any personal responsibility?" -Osr0

13. You better watch out. You better not cry.

At a mall leading up to Christmas, a little girl around 6 years old said to her mother as she and her Mom waited in line to see Santa:

"I don't believe in Santa - that's for little kids!" -Back2Bach

14. Well put.

I have a little cousin (he’s about to turn 3) and some lady was yelling at his mom and he yelled out the car window “stop yelling at my mom and mind your own business and go on with your day.” I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE I DIDN’T KNOW HE COULD TALK LIKE THAT. -egsd66

"Karen" began as a joke on Twitter used to describe a particular kind of person—typically a middle-aged American white female with a Kate Gosselin haircut and a raging sense of entitlement (no, it's not a "slur"). Of course, not all women named Karen are "Karens." A lot of "Karens" are named Judy or Barbara or Cindy or Craig or Bob. What they all have in common is privilege, entitlement, and an urgent need to register their complaints with the manager or on Yelp or in the comments section of this post.

White privilege remains a very rampant and dangerous problem in America, as news stories show us time and again, and again. But one way we can address the problem is through humor—and memes!

Here are 37 of the funniest tweets, memes, and posts on the internet about entitled people acting like "Karens" to laugh at and then passive-aggressively forward to your Aunt Cindy:

Twitter has taken action against Donald Trump and the White House's official account after the president made posts violating the site's rule against glorifying violence while tweeting about the Minneapolis protesters.

Two tweets were affixed with a warning label Twitter calls a "public interest notice" that readers click through before seeing the posts. Neither of them can be immediately viewed while scrolling the timeline, or responded to directly, but people can still quote tweet with a response after click through the Twitter warning.

While the tweets aren't fully removed from the site, flagging and removing their visibility from the general timeline is a big step for the company that has previously let Trump tweet unchecked.

The label reads:

"This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public's interest for the Tweet to remain accessible."

Trump's tweets were posted in response to people in Minneapolis protesting the death of George Floyd. Protests broke out all over the city after a video of Floyd's death at the hands of police made the rounds online.

In his tweets, Trump ordered authorities to start shooting protesters breaking into buildings, writing "when the looting starts, the shooting starts."

In his first flagged tweet he wrote:

"I can't stand back and watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis. A total lack of leadership. Either the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey, get his act together and bring the City under control, or I will send in the National Guard and get the job done right."

He continued:

"These thugs are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won't let that happen. Just spoke to governor Tim Waltz and told him the military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control, but when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!"

People online were quick to point out how scary it is for a president to call for this level of unchecked violence.

Others pointed out that Trump's turn of phrase was first used by the Miami police chief in 1967, who openly opposed civil rights protests in the 1960s.

The company's decision will likely grow tensions with the White House during an already strained week.

On Thursday, Trump signed an executive order that addresses "censorship" by Twitter and other social media companies, following Twitter's earlier decision to add fact-checking labels to two of his posts about mail-in voting ballots.

Virtual partying is definitely an entirely different feeling than the crowded, sweaty, loud bars of our drinking past.

Celebrating during a pandemic is already a strange enough feeling, but when you're talking to all your friends through little squares, pouring yourself wine and then wondering if the connection is frozen or if you're just too tipsy, things definitely can get strange. At the beginning of the quarantine, it seemed like everyone was finding an excuse to have group video calls, but now that we're two months in the vibe has shifted.

How many times do you have to remind your co-workers that they're not actually muted? Is it possible to still make embarrassing drunken decisions on a Zoom birthday party? Is it still fun to flirt with the bartender when the bartender is just you? That's Zoom drinking, baby! It's a journey in screen-headaches and no pants.

Last week, we brought you the funniest tweets from people who are planning to get drunk on Zoom this weekend, and this week is no different. Enjoy and stay safe, everyone!

Being a "tween" is not easy, and middle school can be a landmine of potential humiliation for kids trying to navigate school and budding hormones while also trying to fit in with their peers. Even the "cool kids" experience moments of shame at this age (I wouldn't know first-hand). And no one is more aware of how awkward and mortifying middle school can be for kids than their teachers.

Someone asked middle school teachers of Reddit: "what is the cringiest thing you've seen a student do?" These 22 teachers share their stories of the most awkward and embarrassing things they've caught students doing:

1.) From famren:

Director of Technology here. I don't really have much to do with the kids at the school I work at, but I definitely have a cringy moment.

Called down to the Middle School from my office to debug a problem for a teacher. The classrooms in this building all have two doors. One door opens into the building hallways, the other opens to the outside.

My office is across a field from the Middle School, so I decide to just cut across the field and enter the side door to the classroom instead of going all the way around the field and entering the classroom from the hallway.

Bear in mind that these outside doors are almost never used by anyone except for an occasional fire drill.

I open the door and step in to see a room full of students facing away from me and towards their teacher.

The student closest to me scrambles to click X on her browser but not before I see full on, hardcore, yaoi hentai.

Did I mention I work at a Christian Private school?

She turns bright red and with visibly trembling hands she closes her laptop lid.

I burst out laughing, which interrupted the class.

The teacher looks to me in questioning confusion and the students stare in silence.

I casually walked over to her and said (loudly enough for the classroom to hear), "Let's not look at memes and Facebook jokes at school guys".

Her flush red face contorted with fear suddenly relaxed. Her trembling hands stilled. I laughed again and went and debugged the wireless access point issue I was called down for.

No point getting her expelled over hormonal changes and curiousity.

2.) From Typical_Midwestern:

Valentine's Day and a boy brings a girl a dozen roses. They were both in my homeroom, so I watched this all go down right in front of me. I had literally never seen these two have a conversation before, either. Girl didn't know what to do with roses at 7am so she threw the roses in the trash can literally 20 seconds after it happened and went on her merry way. The boy never found out.

3.) From Somanyeyerolls:

I work for a private school. This middle schooler recently started "dating" another one. The girl decided to come to school in a black leather miniskirt and black leather tank top combo. At recess, (which I watch because it's a small school) she was dancing all around in front of her boyfriend and hanging of the fence a-la-stripper. It was hilarious and so cringey.

4.) From Ekaceseehc:

I had a kid carve his own name in his desk, but he couldn't figure out how we caught him.

5.) From Silmelinwen:

Around the eighth grade dance season (they call it prom), there is a whole lot of cringiness roaming the halls. One popular tactic among the boys was explained to me,

"We ask the girl to prom, and then we run away so she can't say no."

6.) From RoseTheChief:

I caught the student on Google search attempting to look me up. He spelled my name wrong & my name is very common so I wasn't worried. I sent him home since it was an after school homework club & then went through the rest of the history which included "boobs" "naked women" "Megan fox nudes" and "megan fox panties." One of the other students in the class kind of picked up on what was happening and mentioned that he has also been kicked out of the public library for similar reasons.

7.) From raaaaage69:

There was always this kid that would go up to guys, shake their hands and deeply sniff their necks.

One day a teacher asked why he did this to guys and all he said was "if I did it to girls it would be weird"

8.) From OnlyMath:

We had a student who started going to each class he passed, leaning in the door and yelling "mom's spaghetti" and moving on.

9.) From EliaTheGiraffe:

Saw a student write "boi pussy" on the whiteboard thinking nobody was looking.

10.) From The_Third_Three:

Scratched their butt with a ruler inside their pants and then put the ruler back into the container of rulers

11.) From untilwhenevervip:

My husband teaches English at a middle school. He brought some creative writing assignments home to grade, and since I'm an assistant teacher for much younger humans (kindergarten), he drafted me into helping him sort through the mess and grade them.

We've made good progress through the stack when I pick up a paper that had a kiss mark near the name in lipstick. Okay, that's odd, but I'm used to working with kids who are only just figuring out bathroom habits - a little lipstick on a report is hardly weird in my book, plus middle school.

Then I see the name.

"Hun, who is R?"

Husband, without missing a beat, "R is this goth kid who looks like a rainbow threw up on him after having marathon sex with a unicorn."

I look back at the kiss mark. Glitter lipstick, nice shade choice if the kid is going for goth pale.

I read his creative writing assignment. I get up halfway through to go pour myself more wine.

It's extremely well written gay porn featuring my husband and another teacher at the school.

The kid is going places. I don't know what those places are, but he's going places.

12.) From nonnahinnor:

Kids pick their nose and usually eat what they pick while I'm teaching. I think they forget that I can see them while I'm at the front of the class talking.

13.) From charm_city_princess:

I had a 6th grader lick a book. He definitely tried to keep it on the DL, so he looked around, made sure no one was looking in his direction, and then licked the book. It was a tongue-poke, then a full out lick up the spine of the book.

14.) From SanguinesKhan:

I had a classmate who had to give a presentation using powerpoint. So there is a computer hooked up to a projector that is pointed at a screen that fills the wall. This guy sticks his USB with his presentation in the computer and it automatically loads the images he had on it in a gallery. He had a full folder of pictures of girls from his class he had downloaded from facebook. That was kinda awkward.

15.) From Zeniaaa:

My mom is a middle school English teacher. Once, a student snuck a bar of soap into her class, ate it, and proceeded to run out of the classroom and start vomiting. Apparently, he did it to impress his friends.

16.) ​​​​​​From ChetRipley:

I taught Middle school in an East Asian country. For some reason, boys have A LOT of built up sexual energy. Frequently saw groups of boys dry humping each other up to four deep. A lot of times they would just be chilling near the soccer field after lunch sitting on each others laps doing some subtle mini thrusts. I asked them what the hell they were doing once and they all got super defensive.

17.) From penguin_pants912:

Not a student in particular, but a whole bunch of them. I was a substitute teacher for a few years on my university breaks, but last January was the worst middle school day I've ever had.

8th grade science class. I ask the kids to open their textbooks and work on the assignment. A girl shyly raises her hand and says "Miss, there's something inappropriate in my book." Of course, some kid drew a dick. I calmly tell her to erase it and move on. Three more kids say the same thing. I say "If you have something inappropriate in your book, please just erase it."

Every kid starts whining about how there's dicks in their books. Since they won't shut up about it, I take the offending books and replace them with different books from the back of the room. Every. Single. Book. Had a huge dick drawn in it. All 90-something of them. Crudely drawn dicks, artistic dicks, Squidward fucking Spongebob. You name it, it was there.

The kids rioted. I almost quit.

18.) From Mital37:

I taught 4th grade last year, and I had a student who was 12 years old (middle school age, held back a few years). She always did very odd things to try to impress her classmates, but they were relatively tame...until there was a line in the bathroom and she took her pants off, squatted over the trashcan and peed. 4 or 5 girls came running out of the bathroom and told on her

19.) From HipsterCorgi4Yrz:

I once confiscated what I first thought was a note being passed in class, but turned out to be a gay fan fic one of my students wrote, pairing two of her classmates.

20.) From theshook:

Had an 8th grade girl pretend to pass out because she was upset.

She got written up for screaming that another girl was a "fucking bitch" in the middle of a science lesson. Then got upset when that other girl didn't also get in trouble for looking at her wrong.

In the deans office she was so "upset" that she pretended to faint (complete with back of the palm to the forehead and dramatic exhale) and then laid on the floor until we were forced to call an ambulance. Before the ambulance came, mom walked in (she worked right across the street) and said: "Dammit Jennifer! We're not doing this again!" So evidently this was a regular happening around their house.

At this point, the girl squinted her eyes open but refused to actually get up. When the squad got there, they checked her vitals and basically knew she was fine. They had to take her because we can't take chances with this stuff in schools.

We all just kind of looked at each other and shrugged.

So, yeah... That was cringy.

21.) From ialokin99:

I will relay a short story that my 7th grade bio teacher told us. In that class we dissected a cow eyeball. The year before us, a student pocketed the lens of the eye (looks like a yellowish hard thing about the size of a peanut m&m). In his next class he stood up and swallowed it in front of everyone.

22.) From Zogshiloh:

Kid wore clothes to school with the price tags sticking out. When asked why I was informed that this was to let everyone know he was wearing new clothes

“Age is something that doesn’t matter, unless you are a cheese.”

-Luis Bunuel

You're only as young as you feel. I currently feel about 90-years-old. I'm pretty sure I made a groaning noise the last time I stood up from the couch and I hear all of my favorite songs at the grocery store. Life comes at you fast, people. At least you can stay young at heart by laughing at these hilariously relatable memes. They perfectly nail the struggles of adulting.

Every school has at least one "incident" that echoes across the student body in whispers. The incidents often range from hilarious to downright tragic, and in the most extreme cases the local authorities become involved, students are expelled, and teachers are fired.

While high school movies seem dramatic and unrealistic, when you read the real life tales of school incidents, these cinematic portrayals of school years don't feel far off.

In a popular Reddit thread, people share the "major incident" that went down at their school, and many of these could be plucked straight out of John Hughes movies.

1. From SIAMESEDICK:

Someone burned our school down. We had to finish school in those little trailers that construction company's use as offices in construction sites. We made shirts from

2. From Trip_The_3rd:

Classmate was killed from a single punch in a fistfight. He had asked the assistant principal to leave early to avoid it but was denied. And even though the assistant principal knew that a fight was probably going to happen he did nothing to try to prevent it. Guy kept his job but the school paid out millions. Rest In Peace TJ.

3. From NerdyPanquake:

Some kid who was suspended showed up to school high on coke demanding to be let in, threw a table at a glass door and broke it, then tried to fight a security guard with a fire extinguisher.

4. From iamadognow:

Somebody called in a bomb threat, possibly to avoid a test. SWAT team showed up and everything.

Somebody took a sh*t in the halls or the staircase because our principal only allowed one boy to enter restrooms at a time and he really had to go

5. From Downvoterofall:

Someone spilled milk behind a shelf on a Friday. On Monday, the carpets really stank.

I lived a sheltered life.

6. From icoulduseaday:

High school teacher got caught sleeping with his student, got fired, when to jail, got out, left his wife with whom he had two kids, kept seeing the student, got hitched, had another kid with her, and they’re still together.

7. From my-dad-beats-us:

Someone got on the intercom and played pumped up kicks for the whole school while his teacher was out of the class. people were calling their parents terrified and we had police called in.

Not major but this one guy took a dump on the bathroom floor for ten bucks, was suspended for three days, then did it again for another 10 bucks.

One of the middle school teachers had a sexual relationship with a high school student for a while. After they were discovered and on court orders not to see each other he still hooked up with her like nine more times before he got his sentence.

Some random car pulled up to the smoke pit and pepper sprayed everyone before driving away.

8. From Lex_Ambr:

A pupil committed suicide in our school.

People did some digging and it turned out a lad has been bullied heavily that his parents and friends have reported to the teachers and school for a long time. But they failed to act. So when the news crew arrived, the school went into full damage control and threatened kids to not talk to the press otherwise they'll get a detention. While at the same time doing this "anti-bully" week, putting up posters, and trying to create this illusion that this was a "happy" and "safe school". It was a really weird time.

A few months later. Another pupil committed suicide.

9. From Dynasuarez-Wrecks:

I went to a school that gained notoriety because no one could seem to stop f*cking. Even international journalists came to investigate.

10. From eldritch_candy:

Back in elementary school, a kid tried to start a fire in the toilet to burn down the school. He was caught by a teacher who walked by and he was caned in front of the whole school as punishment.

11. From verywack:

A guy (I knew kinda, who was my classmate and some reason decided to be a trouble maker) ended up stealing a cart on school campus and riding it, he had to pay building damages from running it into the wall which ended up with him going to juvenile detention and transferring to a different school district , lots of kids ended up recording this moment on Instagram.

12. From r4ffia:

A girl gave her boyfriend a BJ right in the middle of the crowded cafeteria. When a teacher noticed and started yelling at them, the dude must have panicked and pushed her head down because she ended up throwing up all over his dick.

A kid was expelled for masturbating to furry porn in the computer lab. The librarian walked in on him.

Somebody somehow managed to sneak in a dismembered deer carcass and scattered various parts around the school hallways. Turn a corner and bam, a severed deer head staring right at you.

13. From porte341833:

Pregnant assistant principal was punched in the stomach deliberately.

Two APs were caught having sex in an empty room and they were both married.

A fight broke out after someone pulled a fire alarm during a pep rally. Multiple APs and school security guards became involved in what must have been a 20 minute brawl, which moved on to a main street then entered the other side of the school. The head principal yelled at everyone on the PA for about 5 minutes after it ended.

There were multiple fake shooting threats.

14. From Homeless_pillow:

Our school is super rural and at the peak only had 4 African American students. All of them were very popular, and one of them was in my sister's class. He was an alright healthy individual and one day he was in the gym playing basketball and fainted and died. For a week our school mourned, and teachers the day of, just played movies or made us read. The reason why I bring up race is that the student body all wore black power bracelets in remembrance of him during basketball games.

Edit: I talked to some of my old high school friends and I got my facts wrong. Another African student was nicknamed Black Power. And the student body all wore black magic bracelets in remembrance. Idk if it's better or worse.

15. From TiBiDi:

A female student in my class had a teacher she really didn't like for whatever reason. One day when the teacher entered the classroom, she had her feet on her desk, so he told her something like "Get you feet down, you're not at the beach".

So, that girl took advantage, and complained to the school principle that this teacher implied he wanted to see her in a bathing suit. The teacher obviously denied it, but the girl doubled down and got the parents union involved, and there was a massive outcry about sexually harassing teachers in the school. There was a protest outside the school gate one morning organized by the girls' parents and I think the local newspaper reported the story.

The teacher got fired eventually. The thing is, there were plenty of witnesses to what happened that could say she was full of bullshit and the teacher did nothing wrong, but she was one of the popular girls, so everybody kinda decided to not get involved.

16. From ValsCaCa:

I went to middle school on a military base and there was a stretch of time where people kept throwing simulation grenades on campus.

17. From Lodgik:

Way back in Elementary school, when I was in Grade 1 or 2, someone hung a girl up by the back of her shirt on a coat hook in the girl's bathroom.

By the time she was found (by her best friend, actually), she was non-responsive.

She did not survive.

I don't know if the person or people who did it were ever caught. I was too young at the time and they weren't going to give us details. By the time I was older, it had just become the incident that you did not talk about.

18. From Liar_of_partinel:

Someone set chicken nuggets on fire in the microwave and triggered the fire alarm, which meant a fire drill. A couple months earlier I had accidentally burned some chips ahoy cookies trying to melt the chocolate chips. This was all in middle school.

To this day, every time I see someone from that school they ask me about the time I set the nuggets on fire. Which I never did. Out of all the crap I pulled at that school, including a different microwave fire, the only thing I'm remembered for is the thing I never did.

19. From skigget:

Right before I got into high school, a high school girl almost got arrested for writing a “kill yourself list” on the bathroom stall. it included a bunch of girls including one who was a teen mom...and her baby. many girls were questioned until one finally fessed up. the whole town knew about it.

20. From aaron_meagher:

When I was in my first year of school we all heard rumours that our French teacher had dropped a purple vibrator out of her bag one day walking into class. From that moment on, all it took was one student to hum 'buzzzzzz' before the whole class would erupt sounding like a beehive on crack. I think the poor woman retired a few years after we left, although I spent 6 years in that school and the joke never wore off.
