Sometimes our brains short circuit when they're caught up in the middle of painstaking, stress-inducing conflicts. It could be the manifestation of some kind of fight-or-flight response. Who really knows? These people's recaps of their dumbest ideas during the middle of a crisis situation are certainly entertaining. 

I know you wanna pet them! I know, I do too, but they are too dangerous. Or... are they? They definitely don't look like it. Not when they're itty bitty teeny weeny baby cubs. They look so floofy and cute and too pet-able. Just once in our lives, please, we would like to pet one of these ferocious cats. 

Of course, we don't mean to offend you, you majestic little felines. Just because you are smol and awwdorable, doesn't mean that you are also not the smallest, most fiercest kittens in the animal kingdom, and we have all the respect in the world for you. We also desperately wanna cuddle you. 

There are a whole lot of words out there, and spelling them all correctly can be a challenge. Not only that, sometimes people just say "screw it" and come up with their own dumb and creative ways to spell things. At least they're confident about it? It results in a whole lot of regrettable and dumb spelling failures.

Ah, the miracle of motherhood. Isn't it just the most magical thing? Every part of it is easy and fun! JUST KIDDING, all moms deserve a raise for putting up with it all. From pregnancy to birth, to... well forever. Homegirls really don't get a day off. Still, it's always possible to find humor in each phase of motherhood. Specifically during pregnancy. Sure there were sleepless nights, back pains, and the occasional low-key heat strokes, but there were also those hilarious pregnancy cravings.

So like does this guy want his wife to make two dinners every night or something? Seems like if he doesn't want to do any cooking, he might have to learn how to grit through the pain and learn how to eat a vegetable. It's dietary drama like this that harkens back to this uncle who couldn't handle a vegan meal at a wedding and demanded a meat one.

When it comes to physics, cats seem to defy it all. No one is quite sure if they come in a solid or liquid state, at this point. They can climb a smooth paving wall and just... stay there. And what's even more confusing than the act itself is how comfortable they look doing it. It's as if their strange and abnormal position doesn't seem to affect them in the slightest. 

Cats are strange mysterious creatures that we may be able to understand and solve. And we've made peace with knowing that. However, even though we've made peace with it, doesn't mean we are stumped every now and then when coming across images such as these below. 

In this era dominated by technology and a wealth of social media/dating apps, so many of us are primed for failing miserably at one point or another. It could just be the inevitable and unfortunate manifestation of having too much power at our fingertips. Who knows? With that being said, this woman experienced quite the embarrassing moment after realizing that all the times she looked up her Tinder match on LinkedIn, he could see it. Ouch. At least it all worked out. 

Recently released New York Times documentary Framing Britney Spears has sparked a conversation around what really happened to the pop legend in the early aughts and who is to blame. We all remember watching voyeuristically as Britney Spears suffered a harrowing public breakdown in 2008. While the rest of us usually have the benefit of privacy when we face life challenges that threaten our mental health, someone like Britney grew up in front of the camera, and in 2008 the paparazzi were more vicious than ever. The infamous images of Britney shaving her head, attacking a paparazzo's car with an umbrella, and being shipped off to a hospital are what many remember before she started to disappear from the public eye, and Framing Britney Spears gives important context to these events. From the moment Britney became famous as a teenager, her image was aggressively scrutinized by the media, whose self-proclaimed arbiters of morality acted as if a sixteen-year-old girl ought to bear the responsibility of being a perfect role model to an entire generation. 

Britney fans are particularly enraged by an interview excerpt that was included in the documentary. In 2003, at the height of Britney's career, Diane Sawyer interviewed the pop star on ABC's Primetime Thursday. One could hardly call it an interview—it feels more like an attack. In the scene, which is difficult to watch without cringing, we see a visibly uncomfortable 21-year-old Britney endure sexist questions from Sawyer about Britney's virginity and her responsibility as a role model to young girls. At one point Sawyer brings up tabloid rumors that Britney had cheated on Justin Timberlake. 'He has gone on television and pretty much said you broke his heart. You did something that caused him so much pain, so much suffering. What did you do?' Asks Sawyer. Can you imagine an interviewer today asking a young woman this same question? 'What did you do to him?' The cringe is severe and the resurfacing of this interview has many millennials questioning their own complicity at the time. It's sad to be reminded that not long ago, treating women this way was completely normal.

The Diane Sawyer interview was just one example of how the media publicly ripped Britney apart when she was most vulnerable, and not only contributed to the decline in her mental health, but profited from it. Sadly, Britney is still experiencing the fallout of those years—she is locked in a court-ordered conservatorship that has stripped her of control and agency over her own life. Those who have watched the documentary are now dragging Sawyer on Twitter and demanding that she apologize to Britney Spears for the wanton misogyny of that 2003 interview. We've collected some Twitter reactions from some of the people who have revisited the brutal and inappropriate media coverage of Britney's life from that time. We appreciate biographical profiles like Framing Britney Spears and HBO's Tiger because they remind us that even the most iconic and god-like public figures are still just human beings.
