Being rich has perks that we poor peasants could only dream of. While some rich people are lowkey about their wealth, others flaunt it until it's blatantly obvious. A Redditor started a thread about things that make it ridiculously obvious that someone is a rich jerk, and the responses range from funny to flat-out obnoxious. Until we become rich pricks ourselves, we'll scroll down and laugh at these till our insides hurt. Anything these Redditors missed? Let us know in the comments.

One of the most tragic yet hopeful stories we have seen this year so far - 5 itty bitty adorable cheetah cubs have tragically lost their momma and were orphaned. Thankfully, after being searched for and rescued by some incredible people, the Kevin Richardson Foundation and Dinokeng Game Reserve has stepped in to give them the second chance that they deserve. They are miracle babies, and they are lucky in that they may yet return to the wild.
They need help of course. The bond between cheetahs and their mommas is a crucial one, and without her, they will need a lot of care. You can be one of the people to help them by donating. We hope to see much more of these tiny but fierce felines as they grow up into the hunters they were always meant to be.

Maybe it's the anachronistic reality of being an ancient, fuzzy, rat-tailed non-racoon with a mouth full of horrible teeth and the reputation of a coward? Who knows, but there's just something about them that says "us."
If you're having another one of those days where everything seems to go wrong and no matter how prepared you are for life's cruel curveballs, you can't seem to look on the bright side, let us be the light at the end of your metaphorical tunnel of hell. No, we don't have answers…but we've got plenty of memes! Petty distractions are not a magical solution to all the little stresses and worries by any means, but they might be just the microdose of serotonin your sad brain is craving.

Even though we still feel like kids on the inside, we're very much adults on the outside. We might be known as the coolest kids on the block among our friends, but the younger generation sees us as ancient and irrelevant. That's your tough-to-swallow pill of the day. Sorry to break it to you. A Redditor started a thread about the very moment people realized they were getting old. At least they're coming to terms with the harsh truth, right? Let us know if you relate to any of the moments below.

Some buildings are horrible to look at and other building decisions are just weird, bad and dumb. And then there's the kind of architecture that can actually destroy things and hurt people.

It's that time of year again when corporations that hoard the world's wealth get to show the little guy how woke they are with temporary rainbow logos and festive Gay™️ designer t-shirts on sale for hundreds of dollars. One clever madlad decided to make a satirical video demonstrating how brands might expect consumers to react to their Pride pandering. Seriously though, what do they expect? Let's see some good deeds when it isn't rainbow flag week and then maybe we can talk.
Certain things about being an adult woman are awesome, but having to go to the gyno? Not so much. We know we should be mature about our annual check-ins and pap smears, but when there's a threatening tool known as the speculum involved, our maturity goes out the window, anxiety kicks in instead.
