Yeah, so those crazy things like the placebo effect that are a part of our daily existence are actually pretty much magic in action. It's truly wild that we can alter our very state of existence just by believing that something will make us feel a certain way. It's pretty humorous that we totally overlook the magical aspects of life. Like, we might as well be wizards. 

When we think about the dudes from our past that we actually used to date, it literally makes no sense. We were so out of their league. Exactly what were we doing with our lives? Nobody knows. The good thing is that you can only move up from rock bottom. Reddit women recently contributed to a thread about things their exes did that gave them the ick factor, and we are appalled by what we've seen. We wish we could wash our eyes out and cleanse our souls after reading this. We know men could be gross, but this is a whole 'nother level of nasty. Scroll down if you dare. 

The animal kingdom, as much as we love it, can be a pretty brutal place. Many times, for various reasons, helpless animals find themselves alone and unable to fend for themselves. Like, when 5 cheetah cubs tragically lost their mom and had to be rescued or when a bobcat was dropped on its head by a hawk as a kitten and now lives in a sanctuary because it doesn't understand it's a predator. Even the fiercest animal won't survive on its own like that.

And if it's a tiny helpless baby chick like in this twitter thread, its chances are closes to none. Thankfully, this chick found itself in the hands of a wonderful human who decided to rescue it. Because all animals, especially newborn ones, deserve to be saved. Whether it's a tiny squeaky fox cub stuck in a river, a sick 'ugly fish who was abused by its previous owners, or this itty bitty baby chick who's momma... is not the most responsible momma. 

We know we're supposed to check in on our sexual health, but why do gyno appointments seem like they're out to get us? Not even the doctors - the appointments themselves. Whether the copay is absurdly high or the speculum is just way too threatening, there's always something about the gyno that doesn't sit well with us. The women of Twitter seem to understand our fear of the gyno more than anyone else, and tweet about their struggz with the "down under doc" on a daily basis. Scroll down for our faves from this week. 

With so many animals being pushed into the system, you can only name incoming cats "Snowball" so many times before you get bored and start using a random word generator. It seems like they've even freed themselves from conventional names and just started going for parts of speech and infomercial personalities. That said, even if their name is JG Wentworth, these cats are probably all better pets than Prancer, the most irredeemable dog. 

This selection of tweets, memes, and pics is for anyone who is having a bad day or needs a little pick-me-up. Sometimes when you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel you need a little bit of warmth and perspective.

This week, we have internet worlds colliding on Reddit's "Am I the A$$hole?" thread, featuring a Karen in the wild. Karen's hubby told us all about his wife's latest behavior at a drive-thru. No surprise that Karens love to frequent and make a scene at drive-thrus. After yelling at a poor drive-thru employee and calling the manager to complain about her, OP hubby and his kids went back to explain to the manager that the employee did nothing wrong and tipped the employee. When Karen found out what they did, she was fuming. She grounded her husband, as well as their adult children (who are 18 and 20). We didn't know it was possible to ground three adults, yet here we are. Hubby wants to know if they were in the wrong for going behind her back. Scroll down for more context and let us know what you think in the comments. 

You could literally have no idea what the Marvel franchise is all about in the way of movies, and this new footage would still bring the good pleasure juices to flow. Seriously, it's that good. Sometimes I get cynical about the times we live in, and then the Russo Brothers say hey with their latest project, and I'm instantly overcome with a euphoric wave of bliss. Exhibit A being the following footage. Let's just say the Internet's collective thunderous hard-on about sums up the sheer awesomeness of the situation.
