When you get to the bottom of the cereal box
Via Imgur
No one really likes the cereal dust that collects at the bottom of the cereal bag. It’s just kind of like sweetened bread crumbs, which is just not as good as the actual crunchy cereal itself. Well, it looks like that problem is officially solved.
FaceTimed my Playstation so I could play in the tub.
Via Imgur
A lot of us relax in the bathtub as part of our unwinding ritual. It’s a form of self-care that is totally relaxing, but also, for a lot of people, it’s boring. There is nothing to do! This guy figured it out.
Not sure if he’s a genius or just living in the future
Via Imgur
We can’t be the only ones who feel like cool spies with these super high-tech Apple watches? Not going to lie, when no one is around, we even talk to the watch like in a spy movie. No shame.
Figured out a way to get snacks into the movie theater.
Via Imgur
It’s such a bummer when you can’t bring your own snacks into the movie theater. Who wants to an overpriced box of candy worms and M&Ms when you can bring your huge bag from Costco or Walmart. This is a great solution. Bravo.
The Future of News

It’s definitely no groundbreaking news to say that smartphones have taken over our lives. It’s pretty crazy to think that you don’t even need any large, chunky cameras to record the news anymore. You just need a reporter, her phone and a selfie-stick.

Taco Tuesday just got better.
Via Imgur
We’ve all experienced the frustrating moment when your taco fillings fell out of the shell. Then you have to get a fork and eat the rest off the plate. It’s just disappointing and not the way a taco was meant to be eaten. This is the perfect solution to all of our taco related problems.
No dirty dishes, no problem
Via Imgur
We can all agree that no one likes cleaning the dishes in the sink, so if you already know that you’re going to eat the whole box of cereal anyway, there really is no point in getting another bowl dirty. We bow to you, cereal master.
This kid on a longboard using a leaf blower to go fast is now my personal hero.
Via Imgur

This guy is already in 3020

Summer vacation is the time to unwind, go to the beach and the pool, have barbecues, and catch fireflies. But for anyone who doesn’t have access to a pool, take a lesson for this kid.
Bacon Barrier

There are some kitchen tools that seem totally pointless…until you find yourself in a situation where you see its usefulness. A lot like in this situation! This guy definitely needed a pair of tons right about now. But he looks like he made do!
Doing the Dirty
Via Imgur
Chores are annoying. No one really wants to think about all the chores they have to do when they get home. It would be so much easier to just, say, throw those dirty dishes in the bathtub!

Via Imgur
Another chore we all can agree is the worst! How many times have you thought to do the exact same thing though? Because we can safely admit that we’ve considered doing this. Honestly, this is a boss move.
Haircut and Chill

Hold My Ice Cream
Via Imgur
The biggest dilemma we face in life is whether to choose an ice cream cone or a cup. On the one hand, it seems like you get more ice cream out of a cup. But on the other hand, cone’s are like getting cookies and ice cream at the same time.

Chillin’ Like a Villain

Walmart People

We’re pretty sure the most shocking thing of this photo isn’t the hoverboard or anything like that- it’s that this man is not wearing any shoes. We’re pretty sure he’s just wearing socks.
Hats Off to This Guy
