Baby Mugging Is What You Should Actually Take Pictures of Babies Doing
If you're not taking advantage of your baby's pliability and lack of motor control skills to pose them for silly photographs, frankly we don't understand why you even had kids. If for no other reason than to post a picture of your kid to Facebook every once in a while that is actually entertaining, instead of just sharing "the magic" of a 10-month-old eating pie. Of course they like it -
Funny Video Proves Siri Is a Real Jerk
Yet another reason we are more than happy to just google something -- Siri is a real jerk. This compilation of Vine videos from artist Ridd Sorensen might be a slight exaggeration, but we think he's got the gist of it right. There's something so condescending about her robot voice...
Inspiring Man With Cerebral Palsy Works Out Like a Champ
Let this video be your inspiration/motivation for the day (or perhaps the rest of your life). Scott was born with cerebral palsy. Despite doctors telling his mother when he was a baby that he would be a "vegetable," Scott works out at the gym, and can lift bigger weights than we can. He also walks on a treadmill, which is more cardio than we've done in the past three years or so.

13 Awesome Ways to Carve Your Watermelon

‘Sad Cat Diary’ Offers Hilarious Insight Into the Feline Mind
Internet superstar Ze Frank has made a video documenting the diary entries of sad cats. If cats could write a diary, and their brains followed the same brand of logic that human brains do, we imagine this is exactly what a sad cat's diary would be like.
The Future Is Now — Star Trek Phasers Are Real
You know how sometimes you're walking through Times Square, and it reminds you a little too much of 'Blade Runner,' then you get an email on your hand-sized computer/phone, and you have a massive panic attack because THE FUTURE IS NOW?!!!!! This video does not help that feeling. At all.
Zombies Demonstrate Parkour Skills in ‘The Flipping Dead’
We would all be so boned if zombies could actually do this stuff. Or, you know, if they actually existed at all. But especially if they existed AND had mad parkour skills.
Steak ‘N Shake Server Gets a Whopping 7,000% Tip
CeCe Bruce had been working at a Steak n' Shake in Indiana for two years when she received the tip of a lifetime. After watching Bruce deal with some rude customers, a regular tipped $446 on her $5.96 check -- that's a 7,000 percent tip.
‘Koalaing’ Could Be the Cutest Web Photo Trend Yet
Forget (if you haven't already) milking, planking, hadokening, any of those-ings that were internet fads for a hot minute. They've been replaced. They're done. Koalaing -- that's the trick o' the day. It involved clinging as tightly to a pole or tree as possible like a koala. It's pretty adorable. Check it out.
The Funniest ‘First World Dog Problems’ Memes
Dog and jokes! Dogs and jokes! Good memes happen when you combine dogs and jokes! With that in mind, we proudly bring you the best of the First World Dog Problems meme. These poor dogs -- they think they have it so rough (ruff? Ugh. sorry).
‘Ryan Gosling Won’t Eat His Cereal’ Is the Best Use of Vine Yet
God bless the folks at Gosloving, for sharing these Vines of Ryan Gosling not eating his cereal with the world (they have more). They are so absurd. However, because they feature Ryan Gosling, they are also delightful. Our favorite is probably the one where he smacks the spoon onto the floor. Just like a kid would do! But it's not a kid, it's Ryan Gosling. Sigh.
Man Animates Drunk Wife’s Ridiculous Joke
We wish somebody would follow us around and animate our drunken brilliance. Although, to be fair, arguing over the lyrics to a Go-Go's song is not nearly as entertaining as this joke, told by Adam Patch's wife after she drank an entire bottle of wine.
