Choice is bad. Why should a person have to limit themselves in life? Sure, moderation (and restraint) are good in some scenarios. Like illness. One illness at a time, or ever, is definitely enough. Sometimes, one partner is enough - and less complicated than tying oneself two, or three, or four other people. But when we're talking about memes, why focus solely on a theme like relatability, when you could enjoy memes that are both relatable and stupid? With a dash of self-deprecation? This gallery doesn't put a gun to your head and force you to make a decision. It's giving you memes with all of those qualities. And more. 

We all know the ick. It's an uncontrollable feeling that immediately, well, drys everything up. It's different for each person, and I'm sorry to say that the consequences are sometimes irreversible. Are we really surprised though, there are about a million unexplainable things that humans experience every day, the ick is just one more. My advice? Don't worry about what you do and whether it gives people the ick, because when its the right person they will look at you and think, "Yum!"

Ever found yourself with a full bladder and a difficult decision to make? Let me set the scene better. You're at a place where only guys live, maybe it's a frat house, your boyfriend's apartment that he shares with four roommates, it doesn't really matter. You gotta go, but you have no idea what the situation is in their bathroom. There could be pee all over the seat, no toilet paper, detergent in the place of hand soap — the options are limitless. It's like a game.

Valentine's Day rolls around once a year to either throw the world's hopeful romantics into a lustful frenzy full of promise and loving gifts and positive energy, or it can push other folks into a misery-drenched state of loneliness unlike anything they normally experience on a daily basis. It's a highly commercialized "holiday." Many people end up digging deep into their bank accounts, and dishing out the big bucks on fancy meals that would otherwise never be considered. Obviously, this year's a bit of a curveball for everyone. Like, can you even get into a restaurant in the first place? And if you decide to go that route for the Valentine's Day date, is it really something that you're comfortable with considering the circumstances of this tumultuous time? Outside of that though, the process that can go into trying to get your special someone a meaningful gift can be a nerve-wracking one, riddled by self doubt. All this pressure can build up over whether or not you're actually getting something that they'll appreciate, or if you're just unknowingly digging yourself a deep hole because you failed to get them something that reflects how well you know them, and how much they mean to you.

Maybe, there's all this momentum around Valentine's Day because of the sea of sappy Rom Coms we have available at our disposal. Romantic movies can end up contributing toward this overriding narrative that you need someone to be happy, and if you end up with that special someone, you're obligated to provide them gifts on Valentine's Day. Who knows? To each their own. Everyone will naturally do it a little different.

With respect to this AskReddit thread though, we have people sharing the very worst of the Valentine's Day gifts that they've ever received. Can you imagine just being in the same room as someone who was receiving one of these gifts? The amount of awkward silence that must've ensued after some of these gift exchanges, must've been palpable. I mean, hey, you live and you learn. Sometimes you end up fully committing to a gift for your partner that you've deluded yourself into thinking they'll like, and not completely loathe. 

We can all fall prey to bouts of well intentioned confusion. If you're lucky you'll be able to get away with a wipeout on a Valentine's Day gift by riding the "it's the thought that counts" wave. Because at the end of the day, it really is. If you have an agreement with your partner where you guys are game with giving each other Valentine's Day gifts, then it's really up to the both of you to not be too critical of one another when the gift exchange part of the process rolls around. Or, maybe the silly banter and roasting of each other is one of the funnest parts of the whole situation. All in all, we hope that these Valentine's Day gift fails make you feel a little bit better about any unfortunate moments you've experienced on Valentine's Day.

If you think that you're out there taking your dental hygiene seriously, you are very wrong. One quick look at this ridiculous Twitter thread about how Croatians handle their toothpaste will enlighten you. It's absolute madness. 

Leave it to the creative and wandering minds of Tumblr to entertain the kinds of ideas the rest of the world would otherwise overlook. Like, you know, what it'd be like to live with the Addams Family as a college student. Basically, you'd be able to count on a rent-free kind of living situation that's counterbalanced by acts of constant sword fighting chaos, and some very nitpicky editors when it comes time to write your thesis. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this recent thread about the summonable evil whales of Iceland. 

Haven't come up with a name yet for your best girlfriend? Well, you are in luck because apparently there is a trend going around where people reveal the names of their cooters based on the last TV show they watched/binged/hated, it doesn't matter. Before moving forward maybe you should think back to your name. I'm pretty proud of mine: Love Island.

Being a woman can feel weird a lot of the time. There are things that we all go through that we just straight up don't talk about sometimes and that's just the norm. We get one stern talking to about our periods when we're like 12 and then that it... go and fend for yourselves! Well if you think you go through some strange sh*t as well, maybe you can relate to some of these posts!

There's no getting around the fact that children are just plain old strange. They're these miniature human beings that have an uncanny knack for spewing out wildly unexpected sentiments at a moment's notice. Naturally, some kids are more devious than others. Maybe you were one of those kids yourself. Hard pressed to follow the rules that the rest of society put in place, and told you to abide by. Maybe you were just channeling that oppositional energy from a young age, and it ended up getting you in a whole lot of trouble. If that's the case, you probably had your work cut out for you as you navigated the ins and outs of school. Oh, school. A time ripe for learning about the consequences of not following the rules. Maybe that rule breaking behavior ended up manifesting in you dishing out all kinds of creative and ridiculous insults to those around you.

This particular AskReddit thread honors the most outlandish and humorous insults that kids ended up coming up with. If you're an adult on the receiving end of one of these insults, hopefully you didn't take the insult seriously for a second, and instead appreciated that kid's ability to churn out some banter that you'd never heard before. Banter can certainly be fun if we allow ourselves to drop our guards, and just play along with it. Of course there are lines that shouldn't be crossed, and that can end up being the time that kids are better educated on what they really shouldn't be saying to other members of society.

You don't want to end up growing up to be one of those adults with a nasty head on their shoulders, a misplaced moral compass, and a daunting inability to treat those around you with a sliver of respect. As with all matters of life, there's a strange balance to these things. We love a good roast or creative insult here. Especially when you get the ruthless silver tongued wordsmiths in the comments section that are ready to stir up all kinds of trouble. The YouTube comments section is really its own kind of comedy goldmine. You've got to love the internet for what it provides there. It can be this playground of sorts where everyone goes to work at trying out their most absurd insults. You just don't want to take things too far. Sometimes, you can get lost in the fun of a back and forth with another online user and end up saying something that you ultimately come to regret. But anyways, all ramblings about the wild realm of online banter aside, these kids certainly brought their A game for when it came to surprising folks around them with unexpected words of sheer ruthlessness. If anything, we'd have loved to been able to read more about the fallout from some of the more piercing insults. It really just boils down to whoever ends up receiving that insult. It'd sure be nice if everyone in the world had a great sense of humor, but thus is not always the case.

Every culture is rich with unique traditions. It is amazing to be able to hear how somebody else was brought up completely different from you. All cultures should be celebrated and loved. But let's be honest, whatever culture you grew up with: Western, Eastern-European, Asian, Middle-Eastern, etc, there are some questionable traditions that you never found weird until you grew up and realized not everyone could relate. Some just seem downright silly, but hey, a part of loving your culture is laughing at your culture!

Kids are extremely curious. Sometimes it's rather unbearable. They will willingly ask 100+ questions a day until they exhaust every adult around them. Sometimes though, they will find the answer on their move on with their little lives. The only issue is that that answer may be complete nonsense, and eventually that little kid will grow up to be a big adult and they will have to actually understand what is going on around them. Hopefully, somebody corrects them before it's too late.

Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the most ridiculous things that people have witnessed in classrooms. Classrooms have an uncanny ability to bring out people's most devilish behavior. The tomfoolery very well could be a manifestation of people just getting bored out of their minds, and trying to keep themselves entertained. These might remind you of that one time you witnessed a full-fledged class clown create chaos in an otherwise peaceful classroom. 

Guys are always on about how girls aren't funny (which is a whole other conversation), but then they can get so angry when a girl doesn't laugh at their jokes. Women really can't win, if they don't laugh, it's not that the joke isn't clever. It's just that they 'simply don't get it,' or they 'have no sense of humor.' Or maybe she's just tired of you recycling the same four Family Guy references, Brad!
