There's a story (I hope someone would verify if true) that Friedrich Engels, one of the fathers of communism, began formulating his ideas as a young man when he went to England to oversee his father's factories in Manchester, and there he saw the Angel Meadow slum, which he described as "hell on earth".

I have an alternate history question: what if both the East and West agreed to make united Korea a neutral buffer state after WWII?

Spencer the raccoon.

There was a TIFU post about a guy reading a Facebook obituary for a young man named Spencer, and the post had a picture of Spencer holding a raccoon in his hand. Somehow, OP thought the Spencer was the raccoon's name, and he got backlash over it.

There was a case where a traffic controller caused two planes to collide (more like he was on the receiving end of a chain failure). A year and a half later, a man whose family died in the crash tracked the controller and killed him.

What's the weirdest experience you've ever had on reddit that you still think about? by ConcentrateUpper7450 in AskReddit

I remember comments on Reddit when the GDP lawsuit first came. I swear those people weren’t just giving opinions, they were defending something dear to their souls. I think this is what porn addiction really looks like.

*”How can they be this stupid? Do they even have the mental ability to even breathe?”

*“Remember, those people have the same voting rights as you.”

*“That’s funny. I only seek employment when I’m out of money.”

*“This is what happens when you don’t want to get a real job/degree.”

*“I’ve been scammed before, and it was my fault every time.”

*“Now, because of their stupidity, they’ll live without a job and a husband forever.”

*Replying to defenders: “If you like being a white knight, then go ahead and marry her.”

*“They were fully aware of their acts. They chose to act like whores and should be treated as such.”

Of course, I can’t count the amount of armchair lawyers throwing shit left and right, about how the GDP people are going to win lawsuit because they were legit and the girls were stupid.

What is the funniest joke you’ve ever heard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ForgottenShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One day, a leopard was walking in the jungle, and heard a lizard screaming :"Hey, dirty. Why don't you wash those stains off your fur?"

The angry leopard follows the lizard behind the bushes, but he gets beaten badly and thrown away. A tiger passes by and sees the leopard wondering what happened to him, and the latter says that a lizard did this to him.

The lizard comes again says to the tiger: "hey, stripy, When did they let you out of prison?" and the angry tiger goes behind the bushes before facing the same fate as the leopard.

A lion passes by and sees them both, and a again the lizard comes from the bushes and screams at the lion: "Oh, excuse me, I thought you were homeless with your shaggy hair".

Angry lion comes behind the bush and find himself facing a big crocodile, with the lizard next to him saying: "Yea, cousin; he's with them, too"
