Hi, mera gst 2sal se due hai. aur cancelled v ho gaya hai. ab kaya karu?

There's something so universal about the feeling of disgust people get when they see a bowl of ketchup covered banana slices or a milky bowl of thumbtacks. Here's some cursed food and a few other basically uncomfortable things to keep it spicy. Cursed images just make you feel weird, man.

It's all about the context here in this particular AITA. Dad had saved money for his son's college fund, which ultimately didn't end up getting used, because his son decided to drop out. Fast forward, and the son is asking his dad if he could tap into the college fund for what sounds like newlywed expenses/alleviating debt. Dad was not about it, because the whole point of the money was for it to be used for college. 

Depending on where you went to school and what classes you took, you may have had a project where you had to take care of a sack of flour as if it were a child, or in this case, a robotic doll programmed to cry. Based on how frustrating these things can be, we're not sure if these projects were designed to be a learning experience so much as birth control. It doesn't take simulated parenting to know that kids are weird and dumb, and that toddlers have meltdowns over nothing, but having a robot baby wake up in the middle of the night might be a literal wake-up call for a high school freshman.

This quick and funny Tumblr thread addresses the absurd and unnecessary nature of intellectual elitism. Just cause some writing isn't the most popular thing in school (or anywhere else) doesn't mean that it doesn't possess value. Some folks accept that, some folks don't.

If that didn't fill your cup, then check out these Tumblr gems of historical persuasion.
