If you’ve ever been stuck on the phone with your father-in-law late on a Sunday morning, you know exactly how these Fox News hosts felt when they asked Donald Trump a simple question. After asking a question about land swaps, the hosts had to settle in and listen. For a full minute and a half. […]

Restaurants can be high-pressure environments where tensions run high, both in the kitchen or at the front of house. This may explain why, every now and then, stupid things get said by customers in the heat of the moment. These mistakes are often so bizarre that they stick in a server’s memory, prompting beardedrockerboy to […]

Children are naturally highly credulous and believe all sorts of nonsense, a lot of which is fed to them by their parents for a laugh. They’ve been chatting about this on the AskUK subreddit, after user Basis_Safe asked the following: ‘What’s a silly UK thing you believed when you were a kid? When I was […]

To the White House now, where a reporter from the New York Times had a perfectly legitimate and frankly essential question about Donald Trump’s summit about Ukraine this week.

And we thought that before we saw this video of the defence seretary trying, and failing hysterically, to complete a pull-up. Now maybe he’d already done 100 of […]

Donald Trump has been leafing through the authoritarian playbook again, and he’s landed on the chapter that covers shutting down voices that tell a version of history you don’t want people to know. In this case, it’s the 179-year-old Smithsonian Institution, who have been talking about *checks notes* slavery. Let’s take a look at the […]
